Sarah, a spirited five-year-old girl, was found perched on a tree in the yard, her little feet perched precariously on a thin branch. Alarm filled Serena's voice as she urgently shouted, "No!! Sarah! Get down from there this instant!"

Paul walked over and kissed his wife on the cheek, his stubble tickling her skin. "It's fine, babe," he reassured her. "She does it all the time."

"You spoil her too much, Paul" Serena sighed, rolling her eyes affectionately.

Paul retorted, "Well, what about William? You let him do whatever he wants."

Serena replied defensively, "He's just phased recently, and he's unfortunately inherited your temper, so it's best to tread cautiously."

Paul smirked, "Yeah, but even before that..."

Serena sighed, "Alright, fine. Just go and make sure she doesn't injure herself."

Paul nodded, kissing his wife before walking over to their daughter, skillfully climbing the tree.

Serena smiled fondly as she watched Paul ascend, her attention then shifting to the house phone ringing inside their home.

"Lahote residence," Serena answered the house phone.

"Serena, please help!!" Juliet, Embry's imprint and now wife, pleaded, prompting Serena to laugh and ask, "Oh, goodness. What did Will do?"
