Leah has Chanel up and dressed by the time I wake up. Chanel is sitting on the outer edge of my bed, fully dressed, when I fully open my eyes.

"Come on, mommy." Chanel pleads. "We meet more gurl today."

I kiss her forehead and send her out. She runs out to Leah. I close my door back and I open up my closet. I decide on a knee- longer, burgundy dress and some burgundy flats. I brush my hair before joining my household in the kitchen for breakfast.

Chanel is scarfing down some eggs, standing in a grownup chair. I smile as I make me a plate of eggs and bacon. I sit beside Chanel while Leah washes the skillet the cooked on. Leah washes dishes while I strap Chanel into her set.

Leah gets into the passengers seat while I start the car up. I pull out of my driveway and I head towards Sam's, across town. Chanel is kicking her feet and she is humming Chariot by Gavin DeGraw. She is so adorable, I love my little princess.

Sam and his daughter, Timber, are outside when we pull up. Sam jogs over as he unstraps Chanel for me. I thank him as I shut my door closed.

"Timber?" Sam calls. "This is Janelle, and this is her daughter,  Chanel."

"Hi, guys." Timer exclaims.

(a/n ::: I'll show Timber in the next story part, before chapter 9)

"Janelle, your daughter is so cute." Timber says with a real smile.

"Thanks." I smile at Chanel.

We all go inside and I put Chanel down. Chanel and Claire run into Sam and Emily's room to play on their bed. Claire and Chanel love doing that; they always mess up the newly made bed.

"So, Janelle, how long have you been in La Push?" Timber asks as we sit on the couch.

"A few weeks." I smile. "My boyfriend, who isn't here yet, is Paul Lahote. He is a bit of a hothead, but I slap since into him when he gets angry."

Timber giggles. "I have a crush on Embry. I have since we made eye contact yesterday and dad got mad."

I smile at Timber. "That's sweet. Sam will get over it. It may be true love."

Timber and I gossip some more. Sam is staring at us in admiration. Seems like he hasn't been able to break through her shell. He seems hurt wen she tells me about her homelife, I don't think she told him.

"I think Sam wants to learn more about you, Timber." I whisper, placing my hand on her knee. "He wants to be a father to you, now that your mom told him about you, 18 years later."

Timber looks over at Sam and she looks at me with a nervous smile. "Alright. I'll talk to him. Don't leave; I wanna tell you how it goes."

"I'll be here." I hug Timber.

He walks up to Sam and they walk outside, out back. Paul walks in and sits beside me.

"Chanel in Sam's room with Claire?" He asks.

I nod. "Kim is in there, so they don't fall off the bed."

"Where's Sam?" Paul asks.

"Talking to Timber out back." I reply smoothly.

Paul nods and he turns the tv on. Once the Spongebob theme song plays, Chanel comes running. She sits in the middle of Paul and I and she watches the cartoon.

"I should have warned you, Spongebob is one of Chanel's most favorite cartoons." I smirk at Paul's shocked face at Chanel's speed to watch the cartoon.

Paul lays the remote on the side table and hides his face. I smirk again and I wrap my arm around Chanel and she snuggles against me while the cartoon continuities to play. Paul leaves for patrol and Timber sits in his spot. Chanel smiles and snuggles against her.

"How'd your talk with Sam go?" I ask softly, Chanel has fallen asleep with her head on Timber's lap.

"Great." She replies. "In glad to have a father in my life."

I smile. "My father was killed in a car crash a while back."

Timber frowns before talking about happier topics. She talks about her pet German Shepard puppy that she left with her mom. I smile at the sound before Chanel begins wiggling and she sits up.

"Mommy, can we go home?" She asks tiredly. "I tired."

I nod my head. Paul is sleeping over, so he helps strap Chanel into her seat. He kisses her head, because she is asleep. He gets the key from me and I sloop into the passenger's seat. Paul holds my hand while he drive to the house.

I carry Chanel to her room while Paul makes me and him something to eat. I tuck Chanel in before making way to the kitchen, where Paul is located at.

"Janelle, would you be my girlfriend, and make me a very happy wolf?" He asks.

I kiss him softly. "Does that answer your question?"

Paul smiles and he kisses me once more, before he gets to work on the food. He is making grilled chicken and bacon sandwiches. I text my mom.

To - MamaMal
Hey mama. Guess what? I have a boyfriend. Paul finally asked me out. I may let him move in too, if Anne, his mother, let's him. I'll have Leah and Paul and my beautiful Chanel. I will have him drive me and Chanel up tomorrow, for a visit."

Paul agrees to ride with s to Port Angeles. Grandma Milton really likes Paul, and now we are in a relationship. Mom will be happy for both Chanel and myself.

Paul and I finish eating and I clean the dishes up.  We go to my room and change into sleeping attire. I cuddle against him and I smile.

"Can I move in here? I can sleep in your room with you, Leah can keep her room." Paul asks.

I nod. "You can after the visit to my grandma Milton and my mom."

Paul kisses my cheek and I roll over to face the wall. Paul wraps his arms around me from behind and we soon drift off to sleep.
