Chapter 12:

        I woke up really early and made breakfast while taking care of Nattalia. Derek woke up about two hours after I did and he came downstairs looking really cute with his bed head and sleepy face. He walked up behind me and grabbed my butt. I turned around and kissed him then he opened his eyes and sniffed me.

        "You smell really good," he breathed and I laughed.

        "I smell like cleaning chemicals and bacon, Derek."

        "You made bacon?" he asked then I handed him a plate of food and he smiled at me.

"You are the best," he kissed me then sat down and ate some food while I fed Nattalia.

         She had dark hair like Derek and she was already developing a personality of her own.

"So what are your plans for today?"

        "Nattalia and I are going to lacrosse practice. Coach might let me help him coach for some extra cash."

        "You don't need to get a job, Connor. I can take care of the money."

        "I know you can, but I want to be equals and I figured it would give me something to do."

        "Are you okay Connor? I can sense something is wrong," Derek said with a concerned look on his face.

        "I don't know. I guess I'm just feeling weird and then add that to Cameron's funeral, I'm just stressed."

        "What do you mean? You're feeling weird?"

        "I feel this weird energy, Derek. It's really strange and dark. Maybe I'm just being paranoid?"

        "Maybe?"

        "Can you take care of Nattalia while I shower and get dressed?"

        "Yeah," He took Nattalia and kissed her tiny nose.

         I smiled then ran up and showered and did all the other good hygiene rituals. I put on skinny jeans, a black wife beater and my letterman jacket from lacrosse. I put on my timberland boots then grabbed Nattalia and dressed her in a black long sleeve onesie and black leggings with a maroon skirt and her coat then slipped on her boots and grabbed her diaper bag; I put some of my breast milk in a thermos that was already cold and packed her other things I'd need.

        "Alright, I'll see you later. I'm dropping Nattalia off with Stiles and Scott after they get out of school so that I can get some training in." I kissed him on the lips for like five minutes and he smiled, "Love you Derek Hale."

        "I love you Connor McCall."

        "Mmm I go by Connor Hale."

        "Connor Hale? I like the sound of that." We kissed once more then I left.

        I drove to my dad's to kill some time and so that he could meet Nattalia.

        "Holy crap! Is that you Connor?" My dad smiled at me and let me inside.

        "I'm surprised that you are actually home."

        "Yeah today is my day off. Is this Nattalia?!" My dad exclaimed as he saw Nattalia.

"My God! She is so beautiful, just like her mother. With the exception of her hair and her eyes are uh really unique. I've never seen anything like it."
