A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating! If you want an explanation check my profile. Otherwise enjoy the chapter! Thanks to everyone who left their ideas. I am trying to fit all of them into the story so that the story will actually have a better plot and have some more action. This chapter isn't as much action but I promise from now on the story will be more than just fluff!

Autumn POV

I leaned in to kiss Adrian. After a while we pulled back for air and I cuddled into Adrian's side. He kissed the top of my head and I let out a huge yawn. I quickly blushed and Adrian chuckled.

"Why don't you come back to bed? You've been through a lot and you were up early today." He said. "Mmmm sounds good." I said sleepily. Adrian lifted me up bridal style and carried me up the stairs.

We passed Derek and Chloe's room where their door was open. I looked in and saw Chloe holding a fussy Clarissa with no Derek or Steven in sight. "Put me down please." I told Adrian.

Once he had set me on my feet I walked into the doorway of their room and knocked. Chloe looked up and smiled a little when she saw me. "Come on in." she said. "Can I help?" I asked her and held out my arms for Clarissa.

"You can try. She's been fussy since she woke up today. She wouldn't even let Derek hold her." She said with a sigh. I took Clarissa and she fussed a bit but then I started rocking her and she calmed down.

"Wow. You're amazing with kids. Thank you. " Chloe said. "Sure thing. Where's Derek?" I asked her.

"Steven was asleep so he took him down to the crib downstairs so Clarissa wouldn't wake him up. Are you alright? Derek told me you had an encounter with demons today. I went down to see if you were alright but Adrian was there and I didn't want to disturb you." She said.

"Yeah it was pretty scary but I'm good now. Thanks. I worked things out with Adrian." I told her. "That's great! I'm so happy for you!" Chloe said excitedly. I shifted Clarissa in my arms.

"So what do you think is wrong with Lissa here?" I asked Chloe worriedly. "She has a fever and a slight cough. She threw up earlier but nothing other than that so I'm assuming she has the flu." Chloe said.

"How could she get the flu?" I asked. "She doesn't have as strong of immune system yet as Steven so while one of us was holding her someone had germs on their hands that got into her system." She told me.

"It's actually common for newborns to get sick a lot so it's nothing to worry about. It's actually good for building their immune system. She should be fine in a few days as long as I continue to feed her and she sleeps." Chloe assured me after seeing the worried look on my face.

"Oh ok. I don't like seeing her sick. Well if you need me I'm going to take a nap but wake me up if you need help." I told her.

"Thanks. Clarissa just wants to be comforted right now and it's soothing to her to want to feed often so that's why Derek's not helping right now. And once Jess gets back from work she's stopping by to check her out so I should be good. Thanks though sweetie." She told me with a smile.

I walked out of the room into the guest room where Adrian was waiting for me.

DEREK POV

Once Steven was asleep I made my way down the hall to the office. Logging onto the computer I typed into Google what to do when newborns have the flu.

Even though Steven and Clarissa were very advanced for their age Jess said that they still need to be treated as newborns. Finding an article on ehow I printed it up and quickly made my way upstairs.

Opening the door to the bedroom I found Chloe sitting in the rocking chair in the corner feeding Clarissa. "How's she doing?" I asked Chloe. "Good. She's actually more willing to eat this time so hopefully she won't throw up again." She said.

"I printed up an article on some tips that might help." I said coming over and handing her the paper. After letting Chloe read the list I took charge.

"Alright well we won't let anyone but us hold her for a few days and everyone will wash their hands before holding either Clarissa or Steven. I'll take both their pacifiers and put it in the dishwasher and put the bed sheets and their blankets in the wash.

She can still breathe through her nose so we don't have to worry about that. How about while I throw everything in the wash you go in the bathroom and let it steam up?

When I'm done I'll come get Lissa and see if I can get her to sleep while you take a shower. If Steven wakes up don't worry I'll get him. Ok?" I told her.

"Sounds good. Thank you." She told me. I leaned down to give her a quick kiss before gathering the sheets, blankets and pacifiers to take downstairs.

Meanwhile with Autumn and Adrian...(Autumn POV)

I was laying on the bed curled into Adrian. I was enjoying the comfort of his body pressed against mine when suddenly he spoke up. "While you were avoiding me I talked to Derek." He said.

"About what?" I asked. "I want to join the Pack." He told me. "That's a big decision. Are you sure? I mean Derek got accepted but that's only because he was related somehow to one of the Pack members, or former members. " I told him.

"Yeah I'm sure. I want this. I've always wanted this. Derek said he's going to set up a meeting for me with Elena, Clay and Jeremy for me to plead my case.

I know it's strange since we've only known them a few days but Derek and Chloe feel like family to me. Derek's like the cool older brother I would've loved to have. And Chloe's like an older sister.

If I'm in the pack it means we can have a permanent place here. Not that Chloe and Derek would kick us out but you know. It's just for the comfort of not having to worry about someone coming in and declaring we're no longer allowed here." He said.

"I get what you mean. Well I have feeling they'll love you and be happy to accept you into their Pack." I told him. "Thanks." He said leaning in to kiss me.

DEREK POV

After finally getting everything that needed to be washed or sterilized I headed into the steamy bathroom to take Clarissa from Chloe. Luckily the steam made her tired so she didn't protest when I took her from Chloe and into my arms.

Walking out of the bathroom I changed her then sat on the rocking chair. Holding her in my arms and rocking I looked down at my daughter and studied her. She was almost an exact replica of Chloe with her eyes closed.

She was so tiny and precious and I didn't think it was possible to love her more than I did but when she grabbed onto my shirt in her sleep I fell in love with her even more.

I was so thankful to Chloe for giving me the two most beautiful babies in the world and loving me and them through all the pain and hard work and physical exhaustion she had to go through.

Hearing Steven start to wake up I put a sleeping Clarissa in her crib and headed down to get Steven. Reaching his crib he opened his eyes and blinked to bring me into focus.

Once the sleep cleared from his eyes he smiled at me and held up his arms for me to hold him. I picked him up and carried him upstairs to the bedroom. Chloe was there with a towel wrapped around her.

She quickly decided it would be a lazy day so she threw on some sweats and one of my tshirts. I smiled at the sight of her in my shirt then felt her exhaustion through the bond.

"You were up all night with Clarissa. She's asleep and will probably stay that way for a few hours. I can handle Steven. You need to sleep." I told her. "Alright I will. Wake me up if either of them need to feed again." She told me kissing Steven on the head and me on the lips before shutting the blinds and climbing into bed.

A/N 2: It's a weird place to end but I tried like 10 different endings and they wouldn't work sorry. Not my best chapter but I wanted to get in about why Clarissa has been acting fussy and how Adrian wanted to join the pack. I have SAT's in 2 weeks so I'll be studying a lot but I should have time to post the next (better) chapter by this weekend. REVIEW please and tell me what you think. 5 more reviews until 100. Please help me get there! :D
