I wake up and see a note in EJ's place. I read it utilizing my werewolf eyes.

"Took EJ to Melissa's, you and Derek can pick her up at dinner time -I&P"

I try to move from Derek's grip, but he shivers.

"Please, don't leave me Nikki." He whimpers.

"I'm not." I rub my thumb across his hand.

"Please don't leave me baby." He shakes his head, I peer into his mind to see he's reading the letter I wrote him.

I reposition myself so I am facing him and I wrap my arms around his neck so I can be closer.

"I love you." I admit and I feel his body instantly awaken.

"Where's EJ?" He groans looking around for her.

"Here's the note."

I stay there comfortably and then Derek's body slowly conforms to mine. I bury my face in his neck and cry softly.

"Why are you crying beautiful?" He wipes my tears away with his thumbs.

"I miss this. It was hard not to come back. I wanted us to be a family, but didn't want anything explosive to happen. I didn't know that I had broke the both of us this much." The tears are endless.

"Shh, it's okay. It was all my fault. I'm older now and know what I want." He says and I laugh confusing him.

"You don't look a day older than when I met you." We laugh together, then sigh softly.

"You don't look any different than the night I turned you." I kiss his cheek as a thank you.

I get up grabbing my towel so I could begin to get ready. After a quick shower, I apply lotion my face then to my body. I sift through my suitcase until I find everything. I pull my underwear up my legs, clip my bra, then put on my robe over my dress so I can do my hair and makeup. I apply mascara and Chapstick before curling my hair into ringlets with my fingers and mousse. I turn and see Derek in the doorway before I take off my robe. It's a peach long sun dress. Brushing past him, I do a clean sweep then we get in the truck. Derek wants to drive. I sigh as we get out and my mom welcomes us in.

"You look so beautiful." She grins

I peck her cheek thanking her and see EJ sitting down. Her hair is in a ponytail and she's dressed in a peach shirt with jeans. I pick her up and see the last person I wanted to, Braeden.

"You ready for dinner EJ?" I smile eliciting no response.

"Erica Jean?" I lean down.

"Yes mommy." She holds my hand.

We exit the house and I send Scott a text asking why she's here. I see her near the truck and close EJ's door. Braeden approaches us and I grab Derek kissing him roughly. He groans and kisses me back. I smirk and get in on the passenger side. She gets in her car speeding off without a word.

"What was that Nikki?" He asks buckling his seatbelt.

"I was jealous, no big deal." I look out the window.

"Yes it is." He chuckles.

"Fine, I wanted to prove that you are mine now." I don't even realizing it's flowing off my tongue until it's too late.

"Tell me this, why?" He looks in the backseat to see EJ is sleeping, "You never manipulated me or used me, so who's the better person?" His hand slips between my thighs.

"Our daughter is in the backseat. Save this for behind closed doors." I lace my fingers with his and set them on my thigh.

He chuckles and pulls into a parking spot. I wake up EJ and hold her until she's ready to get out.
