I dress Chanel before I get changed. We brush our own hair, using the same mirror. Chanel faces me and she smiles.

"Are you ready to go play with Claire for a few hours?" I ask Chanel.

"Yes!" She chants.

I lift her up and I shut the lights off on the way out. Leah has left early this morning for patrol. I fasten Chanel into her seat before getting behind the wheel. I start up the car and I pull out of my drive.

I pull up to Sam's and I see Emily getting Claire out of the jeep. I smirk as I get Chanel out of her seat. Claire and Chanel hug before the run inside. Paul smiles when he sees me enter the house.

"I enjoyed last night." I say softly.

Paul smirks. "I know ya did."

I roll my eyes at his cockiness and I see Claire hand Chanel a stuffed teddy bear. I sit between Jared and Kim, and Paul. Kim is sitting on Jared's lap on one side of me.

Chanel climbs in my lap and rests her head on my chest. She stares at Paul with adoration in her eyes before crawling over to his lap. I smile softly before walking into the kitchen, where Emily is cooking lunch. She is making ravioli for the children, and grilled chicken sandwiches for the grown ups.

"Hi, Janelle." Emily greets. "Here, take a sandwich."

I take it right before she calls everyone into the kitchen. Chanel sits beside me and eats her bowl of ravioli, messily of course. I smile at my little angel before the landline phone rings. Sam groans, clearly annoyed, before standing up. He trudged to the phone across the kitchen.

Sam gets angry and slams the phone into the receiver. He lays his fists on the counter and Emily rushes to comfort him. Paul seems confused and goes to see what's up, being second in command for alpha.

I learned Jacobs grandfather was an alpha. Jacob was offered a role as alpha, he turned it down because he doesn't want to be a leader. I actually understand why he turned down the offer of being alpha, I'm actually a terrible leader.

Sam had appointed Paul his second in command, and he made Jared third in command. That means, Jared is pretty much Paul's second in command. I think that is pretty neat. Jared seems to be the most serious one, Paul is the hothead, and Sam is the authority / alpha.

Chanel tugs on my shirt, claiming to have to empty her bladder. I bring her to Emily's bathroom and the skips to the toilet, she climbs up and does her business.

"She does so well." Emily says from behind me, startling me.

"Yeah, although it took an entire year to potty train her." I say softy.

Emily smiles as Chanel runs out of the bathroom. We follow her to the living room, where Sam is letting her draw pink bows (glittery) on his torso and chest. Emily holds her hand over her mouth, happy.

"Chanel, are you enjoying performing art on Uncle Sam?" I ask.

Chanel's eyes brighten and she smiles. "Yes mommy!"

She draws and colors in a heart over his actual heart. I smile as she runs up to me. She drags me over and demands me to take a picture. I smirk at Sam as I open up the camera on my Samsung Galaxy S. I take a couple pictures before Chanel gives Sam permission to wash the washable marker and paint off.

"She is a smart child; she knows where the heart is." Sam says as he walks past us.

Emily smile. "Chanel calmed him down. Sam found out his daughter that he didnt know anything about is moving here, her mom is sending her away because she is to much of a good girl."

I rise an eyebrow. "What kind of mother does that?"

"Timber's apparently." Sam grumbles. "Sandra, Timber's mom, is a bitch. Timber would be better if ere anyways."

I shrug. "Sounds like it. I need to get Chanel home and in the bath."

"Alright, bring her to meet Timber tomorrow." Sam says with a warry smile.

"Alright, Sam." I grin. "We will be here."

I pick up Chanel and I carry her outside. A brunette girl walks inside while I walk to my car. She had smiled at me and complimented Chanel. I fasten Chanel in and get into my seat. I see the girl hug Sam; that girl must be his daughter, Timber.

I pull away from their house as Timber steps onto the porch. She smiles and she waves at me. I smile before taking off towards home. Leah steps onto the porch when I pull in. Leah gets Chanel for me and we go inside.

"Sam found out he has a daughter today; she is living with him now." I say.

"Wow, who is the girl's mom? What's his daughters name?" Leah asks.

"Her name is Timber, her mom's is Sandra." I reply as I strip Chanel from her dirty clothes.

I get Chanel's bath ready while Leah goes to lay Chanel out some clothes to meet Timber tomorrow. I bathe my Chanel and I dry her off. I put we into some Carebear footed pajamas. I lay her in bed and I go to the kitchen, I'm making supper for Leah and I. Chanel was out as soon as I tucked her little self in.

I make turkey legs and baked potatoes for supper. Leah appears right as I take the potatoes out of the oven. She makes herself a plate after I make mine. We sit at the kitchen table and we eat the yummy food I cooked.

Leah goes to her room while I gather the dishes. I wash then in n lavender scented dish soap before going to the bathroom. I take a quick shower, I need one bad. I haven't ha one in a couple days.

After I'm clean and in a clean pajama set, I go to my own room. I smile as I snuggle with Paul, who showed up while I was showering. Paul wraps an arm around me before I fall off to sleep.
