I recycled this title from chapter eleven of my story Comfort From a Nightmare. But it was very fitting for an idea for a one shot I got last night. Which is exactly why it's here. Haha.
I actually got the title from an episode of Supernatural called Dream a Little Dream of Me. (I think that's what it's called...) Anyways...
In this Chloe and Derek aren't dating and they've been at the safe house for three days.
Summary: Chloe has a dream about a certain green eyed werewolf and a future they have together. Dream is ten years later. Kids are four years old.
Dream a Little Dream of Wolves
Chloe POV
I was standing on our back porch with Derek, looking out across our yard at Janie and Joey.
"How did we ever get so lucky?" I asked, toying with Derek's hand. He was standing behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist and I had my hands over his.
"I don't know." He said kissing the top of my head. "But even though we had a rough past I wouldn't change anything."
"I wouldn't either."
"Mommy! Mommy!" Janie said running up the three steps that lead to the porch.
Derek let go of me and I bent down to be eye level with her. "What? What?" I asked mimicking her excited tone and brushing some of her blond hair out of her face.
"Come see what Joey and I made!" she said tugging on my hand.
Joey came running up behind her. "Daddy too!"
I stood up. "Alright Daddy." I said smiling and taking Derek's hand. "Let's go see what they made."
Smiling, Derek nodded and followed me down the steps.
We followed our children out to their sandbox where there was a small sandcastle built. A pitcher, that I assumed used to be filled with water, was lying on its side next to a yellow bucket. Lying outside the sandbox was a green bucket and two blue shovels.
I bent down to pick Janie up.
"Do you like it Mommy?"
I kissed her forehead. "Yes. You did a great job."
"We wanted to make a sandcastle but you said that we couldn't go to the beach because it might rain." Joey said excitedly. "So we made one here!"
"Well." Derek said kneeling down next to Joey. "It looks very nice." He ruffled some of the boys black hair.
Janie twisted around in my arms to look at Derek. "Daddy, when can we go to the beach?"
He picked Joey up and turned to look at me. "It's not supposed to rain tomorrow is it?"
I shook my head.
He looked to Janie. "Then we're going tomorrow."
Janie clapped excitedly while I looked up to the sky.
"Speaking of rain." I pointed up. "Maybe we should go inside."
"Okay."
As soon as we stepped inside it started pouring rain.
Sighing I set Janie down. Derek did the same with Joey.
"Unpredictable summer weather." I said looking out the window.
"It's a pain isn't it?" Derek asked wrapping his arms back around me.
I nodded.
"Mommy! I'm sle-" she was interrupted by her yawn.
I laughed. "Okay, let's get you to bed for a nap then."
"I want to sleep too." Joey said.
"I got him." Derek said picking our up our son.
I laid Janie down in her bed and covered her with her purple and pink blanket. "Have a good nap sweetie." I said as her emerald green eyes closed.
"I want to say night to Mommy too!" I heard Joey exclaim from his room.
I walked across to hall to Joey's room. "I'm here. I'm here." I said. "Have a good nap." I said kissing him on his forehead.
"Nighty night mommy." He said as his blue eyes closed.
I smiled.
"Come on Chloe." Derek said taking my hand.
"I love those two little munchkins." I said closing the door to Joey's room.
"I do too. You know who else I love?" Derek asked smiling and pulling me close to him.
"Who?" I asked innocently, as if I didn't already know.
"You." He said giving me a kiss.
"I love you too."
I woke up to an annoying beep.
"Chloe! Would you turn that alarm clock off?" Tori exclaimed from her side of the room.
I rolled over and turned off the alarm.
What was up with dream? I felt so happy, so complete. So-
"Chloe." Tori's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "What's wrong with you?" Tori asked. "You look lost."
"I-I'm just trying to remember a dream."
"Must not have been good if you have to work that hard to remember it."
"No. Actually it was really really good. The type of dream that makes you want to go right back to sleep so you can resume living it."
"Oh." She swung her legs over the edge of her bed. "Do you remember any of it?"
"Yeah, something about me and Derek, a couple of kids and a sandcastle."
"You and Derek? Yuck!"
"Tori, he's not that bad."
"Whatever. That dream must have screwed up your head. And you had kids with him in that dream? Ew. I wouldn't touch him with a fifty foot pole."
"I didn't say they were our kids." To be honest, I couldn't remember whether they were or not. It felt like they were but...I don't know.
"But that would make sense." She said looking at me. Then she fake gagged.
"Would you stop being so mean! Derek's not that bad really."
"Yeah, once you get past the acne, smell and attitude, I'm sure there's a great guy buried under there."
"Would you stop! He doesn't smell bad anymore and his acne is clearing up. So leave him alone."
She stared at me like I'd completely lost my mind. "Yeah, that dream screwed up the wiring of your brain."
"Whatever." I said getting up from my bed and heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

So did you guys like it? I did. I think the kids are cute. Haha. Sorry that it's short though.
Quick question or two. How many of you have read the Mortal Instruments series or the House of Night books. I just read Marked, the first book in House of Night and I loved it and I'm going to read the other when I buy them and now I'm starting on The Mortal Instruments. So if you read them, did you like them?
Review please.
