Hey! Bored, and just drabbling a bit. Hope you like it. :) (Oh, and, no powers. I don't want to get into an argument about Chloe not being able to have kids because he's a werewolf and blah blah blah. I was bored, and just wanted to see what would happen. BTW: I don't get into arguments with ppl. No worries. xP )

Don't own it. (That was my disclaimer)


[CPOV]

"Derek, have you seen the diapers?" I yelled to him downstairs.

It was Friday and Tori invited everyone to her house for a little get together, since we haven't seen each other for so long. Derek and I had our own little house, Simon lived with his wife and kids nearby, and Tori was still going through boyfriends. But I think her current one was going to be the one. You could see how much they loved each other. Usually, she'd dump him after he tried to make some move that she had deemed inappropriate for the stage they were at. But this one seemed to have passed every test.

It was mid July and scorching outside. All the windows were propped open and every fan we owned was turned on in every room. Even the bathroom.

Derek and I had had two kids. The oldest was Adam. He was three. The newest one, Emma, was just eleven months. Right now, I was sitting up in our room, Emma on this little changing table we had gotten. I was trying to change her diapers until I realized I couldn't find them.

"Derek!" I yelled, louder.

"They're behind the changing table!" He yelled back. I peeked over and realized that yes, indeed, they were sitting right there, unopened. I left Emma for a second, hoping she didn't pee without her diaper on and quickly tore open the package, pulling a fresh diaper out and throwing it on to the baby.

Finally. Done. Whew. I sighed, and went to wash my hands in the bathroom that connected with our bedroom.

I grabbed Emma, not bothering to put pants on her and we ran downstairs. Well, I ran. She just giggled.

I skipped into the kitchen and saw Derek loading dishes into the dishwasher. I wasn't allowed to do the dishes. I've broken too many.

"Where's Adam?" I asked, sitting Emma down in her highchair. He shrugged. I tilted my head and stared at Derek for a bit. He giggled.

-The hell?

Ooooh.

I crept up behind him and quickly pounced, grabbing on to his shoulders and hoisting myself up so that Derek was now piggybacking me. I peeked over his shoulder to see Adam curled up on the counter, covering his mouth to keep from laughing. He had brown hair, and honestly, we don't know where it came from. Well, Derek did, but then the conversation began to get awkward, so I just said I was fine with being in the dark of the scientific world. But everything else was definitely all Derek. Emma, on the other hand, looked exactly like me. I'm so glad she didn't have black hair or she'd end up looking all washed up like I do with black hair.

"Hey Chloe." Derek said, giving me a peck on the cheek. "are you ready to go yet?"

I jumped off his back. "What? No! I have so much to do. Lets go Adam. We need to get you dressed." I ducked under Derek's arm and tried to pick up the kid but he just barked at me.

"Derek," I sighed. "Didn't we agree on no more dog movies for Adam?" He grunted apologetically.

So I did the only thing that would get him to do anything nowadays. "C'mere, Adam Wadam! C'mere! You wanna treat? Yesh you do!" I patted my knees and put on an overly giddy voice. He woofed again and jumped from the counter and crawled up to me, tongue sticking out.

"Oh for the love of God..." I muttered and picked him up, trudging back upstairs with him.

Once I had gotten Lassie (haha.) and Emma dressed, I put some Disney movie on, a classic. Only the best movies for my children. It was Beauty and the Beast. Derek seemed to like it too because every time someone put it on, he would sit in front of the television, engrossed in it. I couldn't believe the first time he watched the movie was when he turned seventeen and I showed it to him.

Now I could get dressed. I quickly took a shower, and then jumped into a light green spring-y sundress, put some bracelets on, a pair of dangly earrings, and slipped into my flip flops. I yanked a brush through my hair and applied a little bit of makeup. Then I ran downstairs to take the kids off Derek's hands, so he could get ready.

It was at the part where the Beast turns into a human again and was giving Belle a passionate kiss. Derek saw me come in and smirked at me.

"What?" I asked, grabbing the baby bag and making sure everything was in it. He just smirked some more. "Whaaat?" I groaned.

"This movie reminds me of us." He replied simply.

I raised an eyebrow at him and went back to digging through the bag. "Mom! It's true! Daddy told me and Emma aaaaall about it." Adam said, tugging on the edge of my dress.

"Mmhmm, and that would be?" I asked, distractedly.

"That Daddy was an ugly beast and you fell in love with him and turned him human!" He exclaimed, eyes wide. I glanced up at Derek who was tickling Emma.

"Is that so? Well, Daddy forgot to mention that he was never a beast. It was all in his head." I replied matter-of-factly.

"And Mom forgot to mention that everyone else but my family and her thought that." He said.

We both looked at Adam. He made a harrumph noise and put his hands on his hips. "Is there something you guys are not telling me?"

Derek and I both laughed. "No sweetheart. You know the whole story. Now lets go. We've got everything. Are you going like that Derek?"

He stood up with Emma on his shoulder and shrugged. He was wearing a t-shirt (I'd gotten him to wear things less oversized.) and some jeans, tucked into his boots. I rolled my eyes. "At least go and run a brush through your hair. It looks like an ostrich's nest."

"Kind of like yours in the morning." I heard him mumble and I tossed a flip flop at his head. He caught it, chuckling and tossed it back to me.

"Go Derek. I'll get the kids in the car." I took Emma, and then handed the bag to Adam. "Can you be a big boy and carry it over to the car?"

"Yes sir!" He saluted and walked out the door.

Derek was still standing there, chuckling to himself and shaking his head. I glared at him. "Go. Now, Derek."

He threw his hands up and ran up the stairs while I went outside in the heat and buckled Adam and Emma up, leaving the doors open so they don't get too hot.

Derek came outside with a scowl on his face. The weather effects his mood a bit. So that's why I stealthily turned on the water hose, and just as he was about to open the door to the driver's side, I blasted him with freezing cold water. He jumped and turned to scowl even deeper at me. Then in two quick, very large steps, he grabbed me by the waist and sprayed me with the hose, careful not to do it too much on my face. I shrieked and ran inside to the car. He came in and sat down beside me, grinning.

"Thank you." He said, and turned onto the road. I could see Adam in the back of the car, being bored so I turned up some music. It was one of those nursery rhymes C.D.s. He promptly began to jam out.


We finally arrived in front of the large suburban house. Hopping out, I tried to tidy my hair and dry my dress, but that wasn't working at all. Thanks a lot, sun. You really are so useful.

Derek grabbed Emma who was gurgling happily and I unbuckled Adam, who jumped out of the car and woofed at me again. I grabbed his hand and we made our way to the backyard.

Everyone was already there. Tori's boyfriend Marc was manning the barbecue and expertly flipping some meat around. Simon was lounging in the pool and his wife, Addie, was sitting on the edge, her feet dipped in. She was talking to Tori who was sitting beside her. Simon's kids, Isabelle, Riley and Cole were playing around on the swing set. Aunt Lauren was the first to notice us and in the middle of her conversation with Kit, she waved at us. Kit saw, and grinned. "Hey guys!" He called and they went back to discussing whatever they were discussing before we got here.

I grinned and nudged Adam towards his cousins. He ran off and began to climb the small slide.

I snuck up behind Tori and put my hands over her eyes. "Guess who!" I said in a deep voice. Simon and Addie grinned at me.

"It's that clown from the freakshow who finally decided to show up." She repiled bluntly before turning around and engulfing me in a hug, then quickly pulling back. "Jesus, what happened to you?"

I nodded at Derek. "I dosed Derek with the hose and he got revenge."

She laughed and got up to see Emma. I saw her tap Derek on the shoulder. When he turned around, she grabbed Emma and made a dash for us. Derek scowled at her then went back to talking to Marc.

"Hello there, baby girl!" She cooed. Emma giggled. "She's so beautiful. Thank God she didn't take after Frankenstein over there. I mean, a girl Derek? Ew." She shuddered.

"Food's ready!" I heard Marc yell.

"Want me to get you a burger?" I asked Addie.

"That would be very nice. But I think I'll come with you and catch up with my sister from another mister." Addie smiled, dimples showing. Addie was another one of those tall and blond chicks, but she was so nice and really smart. A teacher, actually. In university, for literature. We work together sometimes to come up with scripts for movies, for fun.

"You can get me a burger, Chloe." Simon said, wading around. I scowled at him."Dude, you've been living with Derek for too long." I stuck my tongue out at him and skipped away arm in arm with Addie. Tori followed along with Emma on her shoulders.

I waited and when it was my turn to get my burger, I grinned at Marc. "Tori thinks you're a keeper." I said loudly. Everyone laughed and agreed.

"Oh? How so?" He asked, amused.

"Well, we're still seeing you alive and healthy, aren't we?" Simon remarked, biting into his burger. Tori glared and began to chase after him. Simon sprinted out of there fast.

"I'm serious." I whispered, and he placed the burger on my plate with a wink.

I walked away and sat down in one of the lawn chairs. "Adam!" I called. I heard him bark and he came running.

"Yes Mommy?" He asked innocently.

"Food. Eat." I tore off a bit of my burger and tried to force it through his sealed lips. Derek noticed the problem and came up to us.

"Adam, why aren't you eating?" He asked crouching down in the grass beside us.

"'Cuz everyone else is playing, look!" He pointed towards Riley and Cole who were kicking around a ball.

"Yes, but look at Isabelle. She's eating her burger. All by herself, too. And how old is she?" I asked pretending to forget momentarily.

"Three!" He announced, holding up five fingers. Derek chuckled and put two of them down.

"Three." Derek repeated. Adam examined his fingers with a serious expression then nodded.

"Why don't you show what a big kid you are to Isabelle and eat your own burger?" I said thoughtfully.

Adam sighed and glared at me accusingly. "I think he knows what you're trying to pull." Derek stage-whispered.

"What are you pulling?" Adam asked. I sighed. Derek got the hint.

"C'mon little man. Lets show Isabelle who's boss." He said, leading Adam away by the hand. Adam looked over his shoulder and grinned wickedly at me, and I couldn't help but wink back at him.

I devoured my burger. I was hungry. Derek ate five. Marc must feel very successful.

Once everyone had eaten, Marc stood in the middle of the yard, clearing his throat loudly. We all quieted down and looked at him.

"Um. Hi guys." He said nervously. I grinned and waved back. He smiled thankfully at me in relief. "Well. I just wanted to tell you guys something. Well, I wanted to tell Tori something. But I needed her dad's permission. After I had gotten it, I thought, to hell with it, no time like the present, huh?"

We all chuckled. Tori looked very confused. She came over and handed Emma to me, and then walked over to Marc. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked quietly, but we all heard it.

"Of course. Nervous, yes, but I'm fine. Anyways. Tori. How long have we been going out?" He put an arm around her shoulders and smiled at her.

She smiled back "Two years, in counting."

"Yeah. And, well, I don't know about you, but I don't want these years to ever end."

"Well, neither do I."

"Um, so... well. Um. I was wondering... if you want to spend the rest of your life with... me, and maybe... ugh, I'm doing this wrong. Uh, Tori." He got down on one knee. "Tori, will you do me the honour, of, um..."

"Marrying you?" Tori said, in that blunt monotone type of voice.

He paled and nodded, holding her hand as if it were his anchor.

Then Tori let out the mother of all screams, and jumped on him, making him fall back in the grass. She was squealing and kicking her legs back and forth in excitement, face buried in his neck. "YES YES YES YESSS!"

I grinned and Derek and I locked eyes for a second. I was remembering how Derek proposed, and how it was crazily like this. He was probably doing the same because next thing I knew, he was behind me with his arms around my waist and chin resting on my head.

And it was perfect. Wonderfully, beautifully, perfect.

Until he told me that he was the one giving Marc tips on how to propose. Hah, what a joke.


I think this was pretty short. Nonetheless, it's done, and I can live my life now. Yay me! Did you like it?

R&R please!
