"Savannah! You get right back here and listen to your father."

"But he's just gone out the back, muttering something about an emergency with Uncle Roman and Uncle Benny," Savannah skipped out of the kitchen, away from her mother who was trying not to get angry with her gleeful attitude.

There was no way Chesca was going to let her oldest daughter get away without a stern talking to.
"Alright, then sit down. Looks like I'll have to do this." Chesca took a seat at the table and waited until Savannah had trudged back and slumped in the opposite chair.

"Do you need me here for this?" Miranda asked as she finished making herself some coffee. She had spent a quiet evening with the Alphas' family, and enjoyed playing with the children. Right now she balanced Isaiah on one hip, her coffee in the other hand, and navigated her way around the toys on the floor. Isaiah waved a book in the air, threatening to knock her in the face in his enthusiasm to hear the bedtime story.

Chesca glanced at her friend who had grown more dear over the years. "No, you go ahead and read him his story. He'll get cranky if you don't." She blew on her little pup's toes as he passed, then waved them on to the living room.

Snuggling up on the couch and reading stories together with the girls was one of her favourite things to do. It not only relaxed the energetic children before bed, but also gave her a chance to get off her feet. Patting her very swollen belly, she assured herself her unborn baby was happy before giving her attention back to Savannah. The eleven year old was fidgeting in her chair, obviously dreading the talk with her mom.

Everyone knew Chesca could be more stern than Kaiden when it came to disciplining their children. She loved them to bits and wanted them to grow up to be honest and hard-working, kind and trustworthy. Letting them get away with bad behaviour was not her idea of loving them.

"So tell me," she schooled her face into a serious expression, and Savannah swallowed back her dismay. "Did you really put gum in Justin's hair?"

"It was only a tiny bit!" her daughter instantly defended herself, and Chesca frowned.

"Do you know how long it too Kira to get it out? After washing it with soap and shampoo and even turpentine, it still didn't come out. She eventually had to cut his hair off."

Savannah couldn't help letting out a snicker. "I know! And now he doesn't have a fringe and looks ridiculous!"

"This is not a laughing matter," Chesca tried not to laugh also, but stayed focused on the serious issue. Kira had eventually given Justin an allover shave to even out the haircut, but that was besides the point. "What did Justin ever do for you to stick gum in his hair?" She was growing exasperated with all the shenanigans her daughter kept playing on her friends. Though most were harmless, she didn't want them to get out of hand.

"Something terrible, I'm telling you!" Savannah's eyes grew round and her hands got expressive as she explained herself. "He put an eel down my shirt while we were swimming in the lake, so I—"

"So you paid him back by putting gum in his hair?"

"Well, I—uh..." Savannah sputtered, realising she wouldn't win this.

"And what have I taught you about pay back?"

Sighing in resignation, she bowed her head slightly in obedience to her mom and said, "You've said that we shouldn't pay anyone back, no matter how mean they've been to us. Because payback isn't nice."
