I updated early! Yay!(: Thanks so much for the reviews:D

Quil P.O.V. Time Skip; 1 Year And A Few Months.

"Quil! Why do I have to start school?" Claire asked, for the millionth time in the morning. I've been worried about her.

Ever since her third birthday party she's been acting very violent towards anyone who tries to say Claire-Bear to her and only seems to be nice to her sister, Vera and the rest of the guys and me.

"Yes, Claire. You'll have fun, I promise!" I saluted, trying to sound happy for her.

I have school later that morning at 8:15, it's 7:30 right now and preschool is just about to start for her.

I was walking her to school, while her mother took care of Vera, who is now almost fourteen months old. She was born two weeks after Claire's birthday party.

Everyone has noticed the change in her and that's saying something. Once, she was excited about Natalie, Brady's sister, but now she despises her with a heated passion.

"Baby Bear?" I asked, being my brotherly self. She described me as a bear not long ago, and she declared herself Baby Bear, I was Giant. She was silent, so I asked again, "Claire?"

"Hmm? I'm sorry, Quilie. What did you say?" she wondered, fiddling with the hem of her pink shirt.

She looked adorable today, as always. Her mom dressed her in a nice light pink shirt with lady bugs on it and she was wearing a tan jacket over it. I'm so glad she wore jeans today, it was so cold for her not to. Early she had been gushing about how Carol let her pick the shoes she would wear to school. Claire chose some sparkly pink converse.

"You sure you want to go to school, kid? There's always next year," I told her as we crossed the street. She held on to my hand tighter, though I could barely feel it.

"Nope. Momma's gonna pick me up today and then she said we were going to go to the Cheesecake Factory!"

I laughed, "And your not taking me?"

"Nope. I want all that yummy food for me!" she squealed, a playful edge to her voice.

Now, just five minutes later, we were at the door of her bungalow. As I opened the door and led Claire inside, a small girl with dark blond pigtails made her way over.

She smiled at me, completely ignoring Claire and said, "My name is Kylie! Can I steal the girl from you?" Then she grinned at Claire.

Claire smiled back, timidly, "Can she Quilie?" she pouted.

"Of course, knock yourself out, kid. Are you sure you don't want me to stay, though?" I asked, kneeling down to look into Claire's hazel eyes better.

"Duh! Quil, I'm a big girl now! It's time for me to be on my own," she waved her hand at me and chuckled nervously, "Have a nice day at school! You'll come pick me up with Mommy, right?"

I nodded, "Of course, Baby Bear. Have fun," I called as I made my exit. She smiled at me and then stated giggling at whatever Kylie was telling her.

Feeling accomplished, I went home to get my stuff for my day of school.

Brady P.O.V.

Elizabeth is being babysat by Kim and Jared today, while I am on patrols covering the cliffs. Mom and Dad couldn't take care of her because of work and Austin... He was useless when it came down to taking care of someone besides himself.

"Brady calm down! It's not like we're gonna let her hit her head on a table or something!" Kim glared, exasperated.

Shaking my head, I repeated, "Will you and Jared get preoccupied talking about things? What will you do if she throws up? When are you going to feed her? What time will she be taking her nap? Are you going to give her a bath?"

"Jared!" Kim whined, her wavy hair shuddering as she shook her head, "Assure your friend that we can take perfect care of his little sister, while he is getting tutored at school!"

Yeah, Kimberly doesn't know the wolf secret. At least, not yet. Billy told us that once we found our imprints, they would have to already start falling in love with us to tell them the secret. Kim's gonna have to wait at least five more years for that, once she's sixteen.

Jared groaned, "No, I will not distract Kim, while taking care of Natalie. We will feed her in about an hour, if she throws up then we give her a bath. Jeeze, you know better than to be so doubtful of me!"

"Ehem," Kim coughed.

He smiled at her and then continued, "Of us, Brady..."

"Fine. You know your stuff. I'm just going to say dismiss myself from her and then I'll go to tutoring."

They nodded their heads and went to the kitchen. Probably to steal my food, too.

I went to Natalie's room, which still hasn't be remodeled, and kissed her forehead. She was awake and squealed as soon as she saw me.

"Okay, little sis, I am going to go... Somewhere, behave for Kim and Jared, alright?"

Natalie shook her head, no. I laughed as she did so, Austin and I taught her how to do that to our parents. It was and still is, hilarious!

"Bye, Natalie!"

And then, I went off to patrol, with a stupid Quil and a dreamy-boy-crazy-Leah.

Fuck my life.

Kim P.O.V.

Once Brady left, I couldn't help but feel self conscious about being alone with Jared and a baby. I'm kind of scared.

I have this huge crush on Jared and, just... He's so cute! I'm just so mad that he's five years older than me! I wish, I was already fifteen, then I could date him.

Who am I kidding? I'm not pretty enough to be his girlfriend. I could always pretend, though. Right?

"Kimmy!" Jared called, "What do you want to do?"

I shrugged and played with the ends of my hair, "Hmm, you pick."

A sheepish grin crossed his features, making his dark eyes shine brightly, "How about we feed Natalie and get her to sleep? That way we can watch Cloverfield," he suggested.

Crap, I hate scary movies. Maybe, my mom will pick me up early from babysitting or maybe Brady will, that way I won't have to watch that monstrosity, that is Cloverfield.

I just can't handle scary movies, even though, I've seen it at least ten times already. The movement along with the music and screaming people just scares me and I don't even know why!

"S-Sure, that sounds... Pretty fun actually. Go heat up Natalie's bottle and I'll go get her," I replied shakily, already walking towards the nursery.

I didn't hear him reply, so he must have already gone to make the bottle.

The rest of the evening is going to be a long one.

An Hour Later

"Jared, this was your stupid plan! How do we get her to take her nap? I'm getting a headache! Your supposed to be helping me, not eating all of the Carter Family's food! Did you hear me?" I ranted, glaring venomously at Jared, who didn't seem to have a care in the world.

I grabbed a banana from the basket near by and an orange, too. I gasped, "Jared look to your left!"

He immediately, turned and I threw the orange. It hit him square on the jaw. I started laughing and so did Natalie, who was crawling at my feet.

"Ow! Kimberly! Why hurt me?" he wailed, and then not thirty seconds later, was back to his food.

"Jared Pelletier! Your a babysitter, too! Not just me, but you!" I threw the banana and quickly grabbed Natalie and hauled her to the couch.

I put her in my lap, giggling at the look on Jared face when the banana hit his eye.

"Ow!" he came to the living room and was covering his left eye, the one that the banana must have hit.

The lights went out and I screamed and Natalie wailed, clutching on to me tightly.

Laughter erupted from the front door and a very drenched Brady turned the light on, "You, hahaha! Should've seen your faces! Hahaha," he chuckled.

"Your not funny, Brady! You scared me- I mean Kim and Natalie! See you made her cry!" Jared growled, glaring a hole into Brady's face, figuratively of course.

Brady just shrugged, my mom came running in and said, "Kim, come on, honey! Time to go home, it's almost eight!"

I nodded and pecked Natalie's cheek, "Bye, Natalie. I'm sorry Jared sucked. Bye you guys!" I called as my mother wrapped her arms around me and we ran to the car.

I am never babysitting with Jared ever again. He sucks at it!

Another year skip is heading your way in two to three days, I promise:D
