CHAPTER 20

I walked downstairs and saw Sam asleep on the couch with little Aaron in his arms snoring softly. I smiled and walked into the kitchen to find Jake sitting there all alone staring at the blank wall.

"Hay, what's wrong?" I asked him as I grabbed a primo from the fridge. He suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and looked at me.

"Nothing, just thinking about something. Sam and myself have thought this over, a lot, and we think that you shouldn't need to go out and do patrols everyday" He said. I looked at him and my mouth accidently dropped open.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because for a starters, you're the alpha's girlfriend and then you're the beta's sister and then you have to be there for Aaron and all, so we decided to let you live a normal life" Jacob said. I slowly closed my mouth and nodded. I heard a faint cry in the living room and saw Aaron with his eyes wide open staring at me with his tiny, little arms reaching for me. I walked over and picked him up and started to rock him back to sleep. His eyes slowly closed and his head laid softly against my shoulder. I turned around and saw Jake standing there smirking.

"She's good" He mumbled. I smiled and walked over to Sam and gave him a peck on the cheek and then I gave a hug to Jake and walked upstairs and took Aaron into my bedroom and changed him into some pajamas. I turned around and saw Sam standing there.

"Shit" I whispered. "Don't do that" I said.

"Sorry. And you shouldn't really be using that language around Aaron" He smirked.

"Well, I wouldn't have to if you hadn't scared me" I said. He laughed and I handed him Aaron and walked into the bathroom, stripped and put on my pajamas and walked back into the room to find Aaron in the cot and Sam lying in the bed wearing only a pair of boxes.

I walked to the other side of the bed and snuggled next to Sam.

"Night" I said. I felt his lips touch my head.

"Good night" He whispered back to me as I fell into a peaceful, deep sleep.

Ok, this might be the last chapter for me for a couple of days because I'm going down to Wellington for the wearable arts thing that's being held down there. YAYYY!

Anyway…bye for now,
