Watching as Sophia worked on the garden beds Tyler smiled happily, it had been more than five months since they escaped Wolf Lake and in those five months Tyler watched as Sophia slowly but surely began to heal, her smiles came more frequently, her laughter more spontaneous and joyous and in that five months Tyler learned to live again. He began to relax more and to enjoy the little things, he began to slowly forget about Ruby Cates and began dating other women and in that time he and Sophia became closer. Hearing thunder Tyler pushed himself off the porch rocker and called out to Sophia, glancing up from her flower bed Sophia nodded and stood up, peeling off her garden gloves and making her way towards the house.

"How about I make some lunch?" Sophia asked as she dusted off her pants legs and placed her gloves in the little basket by the door.

"You should know me by now Soph, I could eat all day and every day." Tyler replied chuckling as Sophia swatted him playful on the arm.

"Yeah, yeah I know," Sophia huffed sliding off her shoes and padding towards the kitchen, following her, his grin never leaving his face, Tyler plopped down on the counter stool and watched as Sophia began taking out various items, raising his eyebrow as she pulled out the cheese grater.

"What on earth are you planning on making for lunch today? Yesterday was some weird German meal." Glaring Sophia pulled out a large carving knife.

"Do you have a problem with my cooking? Cause if so I could always leave you to starve and live off fast food." Pouting and whining Tyler gave her the puppy eyes and whined.

"Soppphhiiiiaaaaaaaaa." Rolling her eyes and moved back to the other counter.

"I am planning on making a Mexican Lasagna."

"A what?" Laughing at the bewildered look on Tyler's face Sophia shook her head.

"It's kind of like regular lasagna but it's faster to make it and it's really good, just trust me you will enjoy it."

Watching as Sophia made her way around the kitchen and began making lunch Tyler let his thoughts wander, tonight was their scheduled night to call Sherman and get an update about the happenings of Wolf Lake and the other wolf packs that were associated with them. Sighing Tyler leaned back and stared up at the ceiling, so far things had been pretty much the same, the pack was still running smoothly, Vivian still was the alpha and Luke was still an arrogant ass. The one thing that did change was the fact that Matt was now on house arrest and was to be watched twenty-four seven, it would seem they were not letting up on his punishment. Hearing a soft ding Tyler roused himself from his thoughts and watched as Sophia pulled out their dinner from the oven, frowning Tyler looked at the clock.

"You've been in deep thought for about a good forty minutes or so." Sophia answered his unspoken question as she removed the tin foil and began cutting it in to slices.

"Sorry Soph," Tyler apologized sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Smiling Sophia shook her head and placed a huge serving onto a plate and placed it in front of him.

"Don't worry about it, just eat up and let me know what you think about it." Nodding his head Tyler grabbed a fork and gazed down at the strange concoction in front of him; inhaling the delicious aroma he moaned earning a soft chuckle from Sophia.

"Oh hush you," Tyler replied as he mock glared at her, making a zipping motion to her lips Sophia headed towards the fridge and grabbed two cans of soda, placing on beside Tyler's plate as he began to devour the lasagna. "This is delicious Soph, my god if you keep cooking like this I am going to end up as a big as a whale." Tyler murmured in awe as he took another bite. Grinning Sophia made her plate and sat on the opposite and began to eat, a gently silence engulfing the two of them. Placing his empty plate Tyler leaned back and moaned.

"Oh god I feel sick, I think I ate too much," Tyler moaned, chuckling Sophia shook her head as she rinsed off the plates and placed them in the dishwasher.

"Well you did eat four helpings of it," glaring half-heartedly Tyler eased himself off the stool and headed up towards his room.

"Be right back Soph, I'm going to go grab the phone real quick so we can call Sherman and get the latest scope."

"Alrighty," Sophia hollered back as she continued to work in the kitchen. Watching as Tyler headed upstairs Sophia smiled and began to wash her cooking dishes, in the past five months since moving here Sophia began to see a whole new side in herself and in Tyler and for that she was thankful. She was able to finally be free and not worry about everything; she could finally just be herself. And in Tyler she saw him become a whole new man, freer and happier, without the burdens of the pack. Humming softly Sophia wiped her hands dry and grabbed the plate full of cookies knowing that regardless of Tyler claiming to be stuffed he would eat them. Placing them on the coffee table Sophia lounged on the sofa and began to read her book, her humming never pausing.

"Is that cookies I smell?" Giggling at the question Sophia watched as Tyler walked into the room, "They are cookies." Tyler remarked leaping over the sofa and leaning down to inhale the cookies, "Oh god they smell soooooooo good." Laughing full blown Sophia placed her book down and shook her head.

"You are so like a child," Sophia remarked her laughing never stopping.

"Yeah, yeah, just dial the number while I devour these babies." Tyler quipped tossing the burn phone to Sophia as he began to munch on the cookies. Shaking her head Sophia dialed Sherman's number and placed it on speaker phone.

"Well, well if it isn't my two favorite renegade pups." Perking up Sophia beamed.

"Hi Sherman, how are you doing?"

"I am doing wonderful my gorgeous girl, just wonderful, I am enjoying making all these dunderheads run around in confusion and making their minds explode with all of my infinite wisdom." Snorting at the wisdom remarked Tyler stuffed another cookie into his mouth.

"I'm sure you are, so what's been going on? Has anything changed lately?" Tyler questioned as he swallowed the cookies in his mouth.

"No nothing has changed here but it would seem that Vivian has called a pack meeting with some of the other packs in the surrounding states." Pausing Tyler cocked his head.

"A pack meeting? For what reason would she have to call one?"

"Not really sure, she hasn't said anything to me about it though I believe that Luke has requested it, for what reason I can't say." Humming Sophia nodded her head.

"That's fine Sherman, how is my father doing? Is he still under house arrest?"

"Unfortunetly my dear yes he is, it would also seem Vivian has been making some house calls, trying to get him to forgo his vow of never changing, she has not succeeded so far." Smirking wickedly Sophia purred.

"That makes me extremely happy."

"Now, now Sophia none of that," Sherman chided softly, making Sophia blush at the realization of what she just did and making Tyler laugh.

"Sorry Sherman." Sophia apologized as she grabbed a cookie and began to nibble on it.

"Well you two be careful and keep staying under the radar like you have been doing, I shall hear from you in another month."

"Bye Sherman."

"Later Sherman," both Tyler and Sophia chimed in at the same time making Sherman chuckle. Hearing the tell-tell click on the call ending Tyler grabbed it and turned it off placing it on the table and staring at Sophia as she munched happily on the cookie.
