A Hale Love Story

Second Chance at First Line

Kenzie's POV

I was up before dawn and escaped out of Derek's arms going downstairs finding the stuff Lia and Derek had gotten and unpacked the bags which surprised me by including a camp stove making me smile since Derek and I knew too much about each other to be dangerous in the way we think alike.

I set it up in what used to be the kitchen ignoring that ninety per cent of the room was burnt away since the fire had affected the back half of the house before I tiptoed upstairs grabbing some clothes without waking my two werewolves and changed before I grabbed Derek's keys and drove to the nearest store picking up the basic breakfast foods like bacon and a carton of eggs along with some bread and peanut butter spread for lunch along with various other food products that didn't need to be refrigerated before returning home.

"Where did you go?" I nearly jumped when I turned around after closing the door and saw Derek standing on the steps in just his boxers letting me get a full few of his abs and it made me wish that we had gone through with his intentions last night.

"To get some food, we have a kid to feed remember" I walked towards the kitchen with him following me as I unpacked the bags getting the bacon on straight away knowing that Lia would be up any minute.

"Well next time wake me and tell me where you're going" he retaliated and I turned to look over my shoulder at him.

"Since when do I need permission to go to the shops?" it's nothing I haven't been doing for six years since I've always been an early riser when getting stuff done because that was when Lia would sleep.

"Since we're in Beacon Hills" he argued and I saw his arms had come to cross over his chest along with the famous Hale glower. "Did you forget that the Argent's are here"

"No I didn't-"

"And what if they'd caught you"

"Derek I was gone five minutes for food not running through the forest" I protested flipping the bacon trying my best to ignore the infamous Hale stare down routine he was doing behind me especially since Derek's muscles and body was all on show.

"Do you think that matters to them, not to mention the Alpha could be tracking us-" I sighed knowing he was grasping at straws so I turned towards him seeing him practically behind me still holding the same posture.

"Derek I was fine, I know what you're worried about" I reached out and grabbed his hands uncrossing them, he was worried that what happened to Laura was going to happen to me but I wasn't going to say that out loud as it was still way too fresh. "But it won't, I promise okay"

"Morning daddy" we turned and saw Lia walk into the room still in her pj's and both smiled at her letting the argument go for now since we would never argue around her, especially this topic. "Morning mommy"

"You hungry?" I asked her.

"Of course" she replied making me laugh since who was I kidding Lia was always hungry, I pulled out the paper plates that I'd gotten as well and put a couple of pieces of bacon on the plate along with some bread.

"Do you want any eggs?" she shook her head so I gave her the plate and she went over to the sofa sitting down.

"Can I watch your phone daddy?" he nodded walking over to her.

"It's almost dead so it won't last long" he told her as he handed it to her and I went back to cooking as I made up a plate for Derek and myself with the bacon then started cooking some eggs. "We'll talk about this later" he said coming back towards me, I rolled my eyes with a nod right as I felt and heard my phone ringing in my back pocket.
