~Jakes POV~

In the backyard there is a door right in the middle from the house, so like some of the children will be on one side while the others are on the side opposite and there's a door from the house that leads to the backyard, if anyone walks through it, you will get a good view of the backyard.

And I saw Miss Peregrine, Caul and Derek walking out from that door and quickly shoved my phone in my pocket. "Is everything alright?" Miss Peregrine yelled, clear enough for everyone to hear, which they did and simply stopped their movements or whatever they were doing and made their way over to the adults that soon made their way to a bench. "Miss Peregrine? Aren't you going to get changed from those clothes?" Bronwyn asked while puffing as she was out of breath from running. "Yes, perhaps so -" Miss Peregrine said but was cut off. "What's wrong with it? Are you saying my fashion is bad? If you didn't know, that shirt is my shirt" Derek stated, making us all chuckle.

A few awkward moments passed and I decided to say something. "I should be getting home, my parent's would be worried since I haven't been home for the past few days since we apparently was stuck in 1500. My grandpa has been covering for me so I could come and see you guys since I quit my job a few weeks ago and my parent's don't know about that and I come during that time and sometimes I can be late" I said trying to excuse myself only to be stopped by Claire. "Jake can we come to your home one day" she asked. "Um, maybe. My parents don't know about you guys yet" I replied and heard some of the children sigh in disappointment. "I better get going otherwise they would be asking a load of questions" and with that they all said goodbye and I quickly went out of the loop entrance.

~Emma's POV~

We all watched Jake as he entered the house and left. Miss Peregrine told us to carry on with our little games. Knowing what the time was already, Miss Peregrine was obviously going to be making lunch soon, as I thought earlier.

We went back to what we were doing, obviously and I saw Derek and Miss Peregrine laughing on the bench they were located at. She looked happy in that moment, she looked happy in every moment she was with Derek basically. That is when I saw Claire following Bronwyn and the twins close behind and I decided to pull her aside.

"Yes Emma?" she asked as I bent down to her level. "I want you to ask Miss Peregrine if she needs any help with lunch if she says no, keep asking her until she says stop. If she does say yes ask her about Derek and after lunch tell me what she said" I said and she nodded and ran off, I'm relieved she did what was told instead of asking a lot of questions. I wanted to know what Derek meant to Miss Peregrine and the reason why I chose Claire to do it is because she is the easiest one to get to Miss Peregrine and ask her random questions without being found suspicious about it, sometimes I didn't like that but I also think that it could come in handy.

~Miss Peregrine's POV~

After Jake left all the children went back to doing their own little stuff, I watched as they played until I saw Claire making her way back. "What is the matter?" I asked her as she climbed up and onto my lap. "Miss Peregrine can I help you make lunch?"  Claire asked with a lot of innocence and sweetness in her voice that made it hard for me to reject. "Of course you can darling" I said and she quickly hopped off, grabbing my hand and pulling me as she was running inside and into the kitchen. "Well aren't you excited" I said adjusting myself. "Of course I am, cooking with you is just another dream come true" Claire exclaimed, I felt really warm towards her words.

Nothing but a second past and the two of us started getting all the ingredients that are needed I got all the ingredients from the top cabinets while Claire went for the bottom draws for she wouldn't be able to reach the cabinets. Then out of the silence she started throwing random questions at me.

~Claire's POV~

After Emma told me what to do I hurried off to our mommy and went inside with her after she agreed I could help her. We started to get the ingredients out and since I finished first I put it on the bench, one by one, standing as tall as I could. My eyes wandered over to our mom who was still getting all the ingredients, watching her every movement she did. Shes so perfect I thought to myself, this lady was everything anyone wanted to be but I was quickly snapped out of the thought when I remembered what Emma said.

"So Miss Peregrine, do you know why Derek was here?" I asked as she was putting the ingredients into a bowl. "No clue princess. Why do you ask?" I heard her say. "I don't know, he's been here for a long time now" I replied and she stopped stirring whatever she was stirring. "Do you not like him here? I can get him to leave if you want" She asked in a hurried tone of voice. "No Mo-Miss Peregrine, it's ok. I like him here anyways" and with that she carried on with her previous actions. I still keep forgetting to call her Miss Peregrine sometimes. I wish that she knew how much she meant to us sometimes, she always blames herself if any of us gets hurt sometimes, I heard her one night and she cried about it.

"Will you marry him some day?" I blurted out, I liked how Derek treated mom. I saw how she stopped this time, it was like she was embarrassed and her cheeks went red. "Excuse me? I don't think I heard you correctly. Why don't we sit down" She said gesturing to a chair. She sat in it and I climbed on her lap. "Will you marry him one day?" I asked. "Ymbryne's don't get married Claire, it's against the rules but some ymbryne's have" Miss Peregrine replied while pinching my nose and I let out a giggle. "But why won't you marry him?" I asked, eye to eye with her. "Claire, why are you asking?" She asked. Uh oh, I think she's catching on so I thought of something to say. "Because uh...uhm...you guys look really sweet together?..and..and..well..he's...he is like always around you and um you don't seem to mind, you used to get shy when people were around you" I said, trying to think of the first thing that came to my mind. "Claire, he is a guest, if I told him to go away I might hurt his feelings, beside's he is an old friend I know him quite well which is why I didn't get shy" she responded with a smile.

"Okay well, do you like him?" I asked. "Claire? What is with all these questions? Of course I do, if I hated him, he would not be here right now. He is like a friend to all of us is he not?" (OOO #FRIENDZONED XD) She responded and I just nodded, climbing out of her lap so we could carry on with lunch, we had a fun time and before we know it, lunch was all done and ready to be served on the table, she told me to get all my sister and brothers while she put all the food on the table.
