    "We are going to see him later and your going to give back his soul so he will stop haunting you but I promise he won't hurt you, me and daddy will be there"
   
    She nods her head
   
    "Ok"
   
    I frown
   
    "Just ok? Just like that?"
   
    "Ok I trust you"
   
    She finishes with a shrug so I leave it not wanting to ruin her morning, I finish her braid and tie the end, throwing it over her shoulder so she could see it better. She jumps up going to her mirror and she grins at me
   
    "It's so pretty I love it"
   
    "Pretty like you"
   
    She grins taking my hand
   
    "Your pretty to mummy"
   
    I bend down and kiss her little hand then I let go
   
    "I'll race ya"
   
    I take of running out the door, she squeaks running after me as I beat up the stairs to the kitchen, as I hit the top floor I skid across the floor and nearly fall into dad
   
    "Damn kids, no running in the house. You should no better Carly"
   
    I roll my eyes and I turn and grin at Adlai
   
    "I win, I am the winner, winner, winner...."
   
    I do a little victory dance shaking my booty around and making her giggle
   
    "Mummy you look so silly"
   
    "I think she looks hot"
   
    Carter teases, I pause going red faced as Adlai fake barfs. Carter pulls me towards him, bending down and grabbing my butt and lifting me up so I have no choice but to wrap my legs around his waist as he runs his nose down mine and he finishes with a gentle kiss on the lips.
   
    "Are you ready to go?"
   
    He asks me, I nod my head wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss him before I answer
   
    "Yep we both are, you wanna come?"
   
    "I can't, I'm not as organised as you"
   
    I smirk kissing him again, he was always so unorganised when it came to paperwork, it made me insane. I had to work everyday but I usually finished up in around 2 hours. Carter's 2 hours of work turns into 6 so I'm always annoying him to let me organise his work life.
   
    "Maybe you should be"
   
    He huffs
   
    "But I shouldn't have to run to you for help, you have enough to deal with"
   
    I roll my eyes at him
   
    "Stop letting pride get in the way of your life. Stop letting the fear of what you will look like to others define how happy you can be. Don't let anything hold you back from being present in your daughter's life. There will always be work but there won't always be time"
   
    His face splits into a huge wide grin
   
    "Damn your so smart"
   
    I fake fan my face
   
    "I know I'm fabulous"
   
    He chuckles, kissing me again, this time a little harder as I tangle my fingers in his long brown locks. One hand squeezes my ass as the other holds my face, his tongue softly prods at my own. I moan as I taste him, it always surprises me how good he tastes because it's always like the first time.
   
    My body just moulds into his as we become one, my body moving against his own as our lips lock together, our tongues exploring each other as my lungs burn in dire need of oxygen.
   
    He pulls back gasping for air and resting his forehead against my own, our surroundings come back into view as we crash back into the real world.
   
    "Don't be gone too long please"
   
    He whispers, I nod my head. I didn't want to leave him, it felt like we were attached by a rope in our hearts and everytime we parted that rope stretched and stretched until finally it got so painful it felt like your heart was being ripped out of your chest.
   
    "Never"
   
    I answer as he kisses me again, the doorbell goes and he pulls back pouting.
   
    "I love you, have fun"
   
    He kisses me again then sets me on my feet and he turns to Adlai
   
    "You have fun too"
   
    Then he frowns pointing at us both
   
    "But not too much fun"
   
    "Just a little bit of fun?"
   
    Adlai holds up her fingers, pinching them together as she talks, making carter laugh. He kneels pulling her into a hug then he kisses her head
   
    "You look after mummy ok?"
   
    "I promise"
   
    He kisses her head again then he stands up and turns to Gerald
   
    "Look after them"
   
    "Jez we are just going down the town not around the other side of the world"
   
    Carter glares at him then he turns kissing me again and he steps back
   
    "Yeah well last time Carly went down the town someone lifted a double barrel shotgun and shot her in the chest. So I mean it, LOOK AFTER THEM!"
   
    He enunciated his words loud and clear, Geralds face falls as he looks to me then back to carter
   
    "I know I'm a smart ass but it would have to be over my dead body before anyone gets a chance to hurt them"
   
    Carter nods slightly
   
    "Good, don't leave them alone for even a minute and clear the changing rooms before they enter"
   
    I step forward, about to lose my mind, he was being so overprotective and it was going to send me a little crazy.
   
    "Babe, Daniel will be there, he will show him"
   
    "I know but he is future alpha, he needs to be the one in charge when Adlai is there and I'm not, he is her alpha so when I'm not there he outranks Daniel and the people need to see that"
   
    Gerald suddenly stands up straighter, prouder. I hadn't thought of it that way but he was right, in this case I was in charge but when it came to protection carter was right, Gerald would outrank Daniel and it wasn't to put Daniel out of the job it was to Instill the pack with confidence in his abilities as leader. I step forward and take Carter's hand
   
    "Well in that case me, mum and dad will keep him right, he can do this, he was born to do this"
   
    "I know he does, he just needs to keep his mouth shut long enough to figure it out"
   
    "I could have said the same for you at one point"
   
    Jaxon says standing behind Gerald eating nuts, Scott snorts beside him stealing one of jaxons nuts
   
    "I still could say the same thing"
   
    Scott throws the nut in the air as jaxon growls pushing Scott away with his hip and he moves under the nut catching it in his mouth
   
    "It's my nut go get your own"
   
    Jaxon snaps as he chews, Scott growls from the floor and he kicks jaxon
   
    "It was just a nut asshole!"
   
    "Don't kick me!"
   
    Jaxon tries to grab his foot but Scott yanks it away from him, spinning it in the air
   
   "I will kick you! You pushed me down over one small tiny insignificant nut!"
   
    "That nut was my damn nut!"
