(two days later)

After making sure that nothing was done to the house, Xander and I returned home with Blake. Xander and a lot of wolves in the pack are searching for clues about the masked intruders, but no one has been able to find any information about them. They didn't leave any tracks behind and they didn't have a scent to follow.

"Theo's going to be your bodyguard again." Xander states, walking into the room. He was making dinner downstairs and luck is on my side today since I can't smell any smoke on him.

"I already have bodyguards." I state, glancing at Blake to make sure he didn't roll off the bed. And when Xander gives me a weird look, I add, "They're in the closet."

"The only thing in the closet is clothes."

"Exactly." I narrow my eyes at him, wondering how he doesn't understand what I'm getting at. "Th-the clothes guard my body."

"From what?"

"From people's eyes. Duh."

He opens his mouth to say something about my statement but instead closes his mouth and pinches the bridge of his nose. After taking a couple seconds to think about something, he speaks up again, "Dinner's ready."

I don't even have to ask what we're eating. When Xander makes breakfast, we have eggs and bacon. When Xander makes lunch, we have sandwiches. And when Xander makes dinner, we have soup. "I didn't make soup this time." he says, hearing my thoughts through the mate bond. "I made fish."

"You didn't make fish." I get off the bed and grab our kid out of a pillow case before meeting him at the door. "You made Blake."

'If he gets Charlotte's personality, I'm in for trouble.' I hear him think. Noticing the look I'm giving him, he kisses me and sheepishly smiles, "I love you."

"You better."

I've recently taken a break from bullying Brody and now I'm mainly messing with Xander since he doesn't get offended like my brother. Plus, Xander's reactions are funnier since he always makes a weird face when he's trying not to laugh. It's to the point now where Blake sometimes tries to copy his facial expressions.

Once I'm sitting down with Xander and we're eating, I start to wonder if this is cannibalism. Brody called me a bear, so I called him a fish a while back. Since I'm a bear, and bears eat fish, it's technically just the circle of life. But the thing I'm wondering is since Brody is a fish, and we're siblings, doesn't that mean I'm part fish too? And since I'm eating fish for dinner doesn't that mean I'm practicing cannibalism??

"Your creativity still amazes me." Xander chuckles, hearing my thoughts again.

"Theo is still going to become your bodyguard again, though." he brings up his earlier statement. "I want to be able to be by you and Blake all the time, but I can't, sweetheart."

"It's okay, Xander." I smile at him, putting a hand on his knee. "We both h-have pack things to take of, it's no big deal. I know we'll still be able to spend time together."

Xander sighs, "I still don't like having to leave you and Blake, though. Especially since he's so young. I want to be able to help you take care of him."

Knowing that he's feeling like he hasn't been able to spend much time with Blake, I tell him, "You help take care of him b-by giving him a safe pack to grow up in, Xander. And you're r-really sweet and always take the night shift too."
