--My POV—
When I saw Koda crying, I entered his mind and saw his dream. –A guy I’ve never seen before was beating and beating Koda telling him his real father never loved him and that’s why I married him. He was unloved then, and he is unloved now- It pissed me off to the point where I wanted to know if this guy was real and rip his head off. But when I went upstairs, Alana was sleeping on my bed and I didn’t want to wake her. So I went back downstairs and decided to have him fall asleep on the couch. I rocked him back and forth but nothing seemed to work. Finally, I came to my senses that I had to sing my remedy.
last night i had this dream of you my sweetie.
couldn't help but cry and cry for you
even though we are so far apart,
gonna always hold you in my heart
gonna always hold you in my heaaaaart
even though we are so far apart
gonna always hold you in my heart.
and when the stars they flash across the sky
couldn't help but wonder why oh why
was my sweet heart so far from me and i'm
gonna always hold you in my arms.
gonna always hold you in my arms
even though we are so far apart
gonna always hold you in my arms.

I finished singing, Koda stopped crying, and I tucked him in the blanket. Watching Koda sleep, made me realize, the house was quiet. I quickly looked up to see Kwoli, Kola, and Kole, on their knees silently crying. That was the lullaby my dad taught me. So if ever my brothers couldn’t sleep, I would sing it to them. I didn’t sing it often because if I sang it all the time, it wouldn’t be a special song. I looked behind my brothers and saw the whole pack, staring at me with eyes wide open. I look at the staircase and see Alana in the same position as my brothers and crying her eyes out. Embry quickly ran to her and cradled her in his arms. I missed the way Seth use to do that to me. I broke down crying from the tears I was holding in from today. Tears just kept coming out and never stopped. I felt arms cradle me and I felt safe and better. I took a quick glance and saw Seth with his eyes so worried for me. I buried my face in his chest and cried even more. He tried to make me stop crying but I wouldn’t stop. He pulled me off of his chest, and made me look him in the eyes.
Seth: Kaya, please tell me what you want for you to stop crying.
Me: NO.
Seth: Please, I want to help you.
Me: NO.
Seth: tell me what you want.
Me: I WANT MY FATHER.
I quickly jumped out of his arms and ran to my brothers. But their hugs weren't as close to my dad's. I then got up and ran to Sam. He embraced me in his arms, and it felt like my father’s hugs. I started to sink into his arms and think about my dad. Emily was rubbing my back and trying to comfort me. It made me feel better because she had that motherly touch. I finally stopped crying after 10 minutes. The whole pack was just sitting there quietly because they thought if they said one little thing, I would burst into tears again. I got out from Sam’s grip and walked passed everyone. Seth was sitting at the ends of Koda’s feet, watching him sleep. My voice was a little shakey,
Me: uh, Seth?
Seth: Hmm?
Me: do you mind bringing Koda upstairs since Alana is not sleeping there anymore?
Seth: yeah, sure.
He carried Koda upstairs and set him in his crib. He kissed him on his head and was about to step out of the room. Before he could, I grabbed his wrist.
Me: Seth, I’m really sorry.
Seth: sorry for what?
Me: for acting like a complete jerk. You don’t deserve to be treated like that. I’m really sorry. It’s just, it’s my second day back and we already had a fight, and, I don’t know.
Seth: no, I’m sorry. I should stop accusing and just let things go. The past is the past, and we can’t change it. So, let’s move on.
Me: give me another chance?
Seth: If you gave me another chance, why shouldn’t I give you another chance? Do you mind if I put something around Koda’s neck?
Me: uh, sure. What is it?
Seth: it’s a necklace my mom told me to give him. It’s a gift from the Clearwater family.
He put on the necklace around Koda’s neck and it was beautiful. It kind of looks like the pendant my father gave my mom. Then it clicked, I knew what KIND of pendant it was.
Seth: my mom made it. It’s a wooden pendant that has a wolf claw on one side, and a coyote claw on the other.
Me: it’s perfect. It’s a sme… I mean, a wooden pendant. It’s beautiful. Thank you Seth. Tell Sue thank you to her too, for me. I’m sure Koda will love it.
Seth: and I want to give you guys these. They are dream catchers. Whenever you guys have a bad dream, the dream catcher catches it, and keeps it in its web. Only good dreams will go through the small holes. So only good dreams will be remembered while the bad dreams will become hopelessly tangled in the web. I got one for each of you, for your own dreams.
Me: thanks Seth. They are beautiful. Can you put them on the top of my bed and Koda’s crib?
Seth: well, I should go. I have to go sleep now
Me: don’t stay up watching that thing you were watching last night that made you have lack of sleep.
Seth: no promises. Goodnight Kaya.
Me: good night Seth.
Before he walks out the door,
Seth: oh Kaya? I just want you to know, I love Koda, with all my heart. I’m ready to accept him as a stepson to me. I’m going to love him unconditionally no matter what.
Me: thanks Seth, for everything.
He walked out the room and closed the door behind him. I quickly got changed and went to bed.
