Short story- The Accident

Clarice Joanna Rivers was humming a soft lullaby as she put her four year old daughter, Rain down for a nap. It was a warm summers day, the sky was blue, the clouds were fluffy, and the sun was high. Clarice was a hunter, but she was never too busy to spend time with Rain, Or her husband Josh, and being a member of Fire-stone It typically didn't require her to do too much work. It was a very peace full pack, with little enemy's and plenty of allies including the second biggest pack in the western region, her old pack, Full-moon. After Rain was fully asleep, Clarice wobbled into the kitchen. Even if the pack needed her to fight she wouldn't be able to you see, she was pregnant. she was just about 6 months along, so she already had a belly, she was hoping for a boy. She had been thinking of names for as long as she had known she was gonna have another baby. If it was a boy, his name would be Charles James Rivers, If it was another girl, It would be Ashley May Rivers. In reality she didn't want to know what it was yet, after all she'd love it ether way. As she got the stuff out to make the grilled cheese she had been craving all day, the phone began to ring.

"Hello? Is Clarice there?"

"Hi mother,"

"Oh good it's you dear. You never know the way that pack house runs, I keep telling you to get you're own place, and you're own phone."

"Well I can't exactly move out, He's the alpha. He needs to be here to run the pack."

"Pish posh. A woman dosn't need to follow any man all her life, when I was with your father, he wanted to move to Germany. But did I want to? Of course not! I told him, He could go but there was no way I was abandoning my pack or my daughter."

"Is that why I got post cards from Berlin for the last five years?"

"You're missing my point! Sometimes you need to tell the men how you want things done."

"Yeah, Yeah Mother, you're just against me living in Fire-stone and not Full-moon."

"Looks who's fault that is! I hardly ever get to see my cute granddaughter! How is she any way?"

"She's Fine, I just put her down for a nap not too long ago."

"That's good. May I ask you a favor?"

"Sure, what do you need?"

"Do you think you could pick up you're father from the airport this afternoon?"

"Um yeah. What time?"

"2:30, Oh I just knew you'd say yes! He would love to see Rain too, I don't think he's met her yet has he?"

"Ah, no. I'll take her with me then."

"I'll see you later then."

"yeah, bye bye."

Clarice hung up the phone and took a bite out of her sandwich. It has been a while since she had seen her father, she could'nt help but wonder if he was finally moving back. It would be good for Rain to meet her grandfather. She made her way down to the living room and flipped on the T.V. That's when Rena walked in.

"Oh hello Clarice." she smiled showing off her gleeming smile

"Hi"

"Did you put Rain down for a nap?"

"Yep Did you put Seth down too?"

"Yeah, he always gets cranky if he dosn't have his nap right at twelve."
