I wake up with both girls in the bed, and Leah. I crawl out of bed quietly and I grab some clothes. I sneak to the bathroom and I take a warm shower.
Chanel is awake when I exit the bathroom. She runs in to the toilet and climbs up. I help her wash her hands when she finishes up. Leah helps Claire while I begin cooking breakfast. We are bringing Claire to Emily's, moving Leah in, then she waiting for my mom and grandma to visit.
I hand Claire and Chanel some egg and bacon. Leah and I eat sausage and biscuits. Leah washes the dishes when we finish. I grab Chanel and carry her to my room. I get her dressed and carry her out to my car. Leah is strapping Claire in while I am strapping Chanel in.
I drive to Sam and Emily's firstly. Leah carries Claire inside while Quil gets her car seat.
"Nice car, Janelle." Quil compliments.
"It's a nice family car." I smirk.
Leah gets in the front with me and she smiles at my sleeping daughter, Chanel. Leah points me in the direction to her mom's house. Seth and Embry are here. They are moving her stuff.
I bring Chanel inside when she wakes up. Sue coos over her as I have her hold Chanel. Sue sits on the couch wth her before I go to help Leah pack her belongings. Seth and Embry break Leah's bed down and pack her dresser out after.
I sit on the couch at home while Chanel plays in her room. Leah is in her new room unpacking and decorating. A knock on the door gathers my attention. That must be my mom and grandma Milton.
I open the door and my mother's smiling face appears. Grandma Milton is standing beside her with a happy smile.
"Come on in, you two." I smile. "Chanel! We have company!"
Chanel comes running into the living room and she squeals at the sight of grandma Milton. "Hi, Grammy."
"Hi, Chanel." Grandma Milton coos. "This is your grandmother, Malory."
"Hi, gandma." Chanel greets my mom.
Mom takes Chanel in her arms and she sits on the couch.
"I'm going to make some lunch, give me a moment." I tell them.
"Where is that friend who lived in?" Grandma Milton asks.
"Leah!" I call.
Leah walks in and smiles. Grandma Milton and mom dart talking to Leah, making her feel welcome to the family. I walk to the small-ish kitchen. I grab some chicken strips, rice and Velveeta cheese. I cook breaded chicken strips and cheesy rice.
Chanel sits in her high chair patiently while her food cools. I make everyone else a plate, then myself. I hand Chanel hers before sitting next to Leah. Mom compliments my cooking and my life now.
"You grew up well, and you raised Chanel perfectly so far." Mom says.
I smile. "Thanks. You wouldn't have thought that through her terrible twos."
Grandma Milton tells mom how Chanel was when she was two. Potty raining was the hardest thing to do with a hyper active two year old.
"Well, she looks healthy." Mom coos as Chanel splatters rice on the floor. "Typical three year old." Mom coos lovingly at Chanel. "I'll clean it up."
Leah washes the dishes up while I bring Chanel to the bathroom. I wash her off and I carry her back to the living room.
"I'm running to the grocery store." I mumble. "Mama, can you watch Chanel for me?"
"Of course I can!" Mom exclaims. "Go and get what y'all need."
Leah and I get into my car. I start it up and I pull out of the driveway. I drive up to Piggly Wiggly in Port Angeles. Leah groans the cart before we make our laps through the food and baby departments.
We make it home and mom says Chanel is down for her nap. I thank her before she insists on helping put the things away. Leah sits and chats wth grandma Milton.
"Thanks, again mom." I hug my mother. "I'll visit soon."
"No problem, Janelle." Mom says softly. "I want to be back in your life, and I want to be apart of Chanel's life."
I smile. "Of course; just don't betray us again."
Mom hugs me before she and grandma Milton leave. Leah smiles at my mom's back end of the truck the drove here.
"I love your grandma Milton." Leah says as I close the door, and Paul is here.
"She is great, isn't she?" I smile. "The old woman helped me raise Chanel these past three years."
Paul is looking between Leah and I.
"Jacob wants to bring you and Chanel to Forks tomorrow, he want y'all to meet some people." Paul says before turning the tv on.
"Alright." I mutter under my breath.
I go to the kitchen, with Chanel on my feet. I place her in her high chair before staring on the sloppy joes. Paul sits next to Chanel and she tugs on his hair, on his head.
I make Chanel's plate first, then I make the others while Chanel is stuffing her little mouth full of ground beef and sloppy joe sauce. Paul eats his messily, just like Chanel. Leah and I eat puts neatly.
I put blankets and a pillow on the couch, for Paul. He is sleeping over tonight. Paul kisses my cheek before he lays on the couch.
"This couch is surprisingly comfy." Paul mutters.
"I'd hope so." I chuckle. "It cane from my dad's shop. My dad is dead now, my uncle Harold is running it now. They make the furniture you get there at Milton Furniture in Port Angeles."
Paul smiles before I make my way to Chanel's room. I pull her covers over her sleeping form and I kiss her forehead. I make my way to my room, not before covering Paul up too. I kiss his forehead and I go to my room. I change into some pajamas before sitting at my laptop. I pull up email and click on my mom's name.
Hey mama. It's Janelle. I'm glad to have you back in my life. :) would you like Chanel for a couple days??? This weekend, maybe. Email me back and let me know what your reply is, mom.
I close it off and I climb into my king sized bed. I snuggle with my life-sized, stuffed wolf. I close my eyes and I drift off to sleep.
