Hi guys!

First of all, I am so terribly sorry that this update took me so long, but please understand me, I was too depressed to write a happy chapter and I didn't want to ruin it, so that's why it took so incredibly long for me to update. But as soon as school returns I'll do weekly updates (every weekend :D )! So thank you for your patience, it means a lot to me, you're so kind guys so here we go, let's don't waist anymore time:

Chapter 13: Ordinary humans,

Ordinary pancakes

George and Nina were having a hard time with Eve. Sure she was a really calm, quiet baby according to her age (which was two weeks old) but still, she was a baby. That's why the werewolf couple was still sound asleep, yet it was 9:30 AM. But it was a Saturday, so why awake them? They needed their rest.

Mitchell wasn't a really early riser, yet he was wide awake by now, busy in the kitchen-Yes, John Mitchell ex vampire, ghost, soon-to-be-a-father was in the kitchen making pancakes for breakfast for his friends and well, he's family, two in one, and of course the love of his long, sometimes miserable life. He'd do anything for her. Really. And this little surprise was just a lovely, kind and caring gesture from him to show his only loved ones that he did care about them, because word sometimes failed him. He wasn't really that emotional type anyway.

So he found himself at the kitchen at 8:00 AM wondering what he shall do. And he thought pancakes cannot be so difficult, can they? And so, he started making pancakes. They weren't really hard to bake. Probably the simplest thing he could have done. But he wasn't as good as George when it came to cooking. So the first ones were ruined, they were thick and well, crocodile (/A.N.: My first pancake was crocodile shaped too! :D /), pigeon and shoe shaped. Some got burned. But after a few ones he could make perfect sized-shaped-baked pancakes.

'If George can do it, I can too!'-he grinned.

Annie was awoken by a noise and a sweet, sweet smell, which was coming from the kitchen.

'Mmm...Somebody's making pancakes.'-she thought. She glimpsed at the alarm clock on the nightstand (which she bought for Mitchell) and frowned. She overslept. Again...another nasty attendant of her pregnancy. She wasn't throwing up anymore (only on rare occasions) her stomach didn't hurt so much (but she needed the blood infusion every day thought) , but her back was in pain sometimes, she overslept nearly every morning now and she ate way more than she used to. She was getting very uncomfortable with these. But anything for the baby of course.

She got dressed and headed towards the kitchen. She made a clear deduction that the only one in this house (except for her) at the moment who could or at least would make pancakes would be George, so without even testing her hypothesis she greeted:

"Morning-yawn-George!"

"Morning Annie!-he chuckled.

"What are...wait...huh?!"

"Well, I'm not George as you see, but I hope you're not too disappointed though."

"Mitchell!-she giggled-I didn't know you were such good at baking! Gosh I didn't even realize that you weren't in bed."

"Weeell...nobody said I was good!"-he winked. Annie laughed.

"Are you sure you made enough? I'm really hungry!"-she teased.

"Yeah, sure I did!"-he showed her the huge amount of pancakes he made which were all piled up on one single plate.

"Whoa! That'll be enough, I'm sure."

"Would ya' like to have a taste ma'am?"

"Sure!"-she grinned and took a bite from the offered pancake.

"So? Whataya think? Ya' proud of me?"

"Mmmh...They're better than George's!"

"Hey, I heard that!"

"Mornin' mate!"

"Morning George! Sorry but they really are unbeatable, c'mon try them yourself!"

"Ok, ok fine. They are good, I must admit."

"Morning everyone!"_Nina greeted with extremely messy hair and a wide awake and alert, but really calm baby Eve in her arms.

"Morning Nina! Morning Eve!"-Annie smiled.

They all sat down to eat together-well except for Mitchell who was trying, and Eve who was only watching – just like a family of ordinary, normal people. A family of normal humans. How long had it been since they done that?

"Erm...I was wondering if we could all go shopping together to buy some decoration and paint for the babies' rooms. Agree Annie?"

"Absolutely!"-she cheered.

"My pregnancy was abnormally short, and we all had our own problems so come, we didn't make a room for Eve."

"I could help with the painting...!"-Mitchell blurted out.

"Oh, erm yeah that would be nice. Thanks Mitchell! And thanks for the pancakes, too!"

"Yes, thanks mate!"-George added.

Maybe that was it. Just what Annie needed. Just what everyone needed. They felt totally and absolutely normal and human now, which they haven't in a long time now.

Thanks for reading!

Well, this was the best I could do in this mood, sorry...I hope it was good enough. I'll try to cheer up! :)

And I know Mitchell was out of character, but I wanted him to be in an unusually good mood, and be unusually helpful and happy for his friends and Annie. He didn't even argue with Nina :D So, I hope you liked it, please tell me what you think about this little fluffy nonsense. Thanks.

Please review, I'll get ya' some of Mitchell's pancakes! ;)

Love,

Ann
