''Oh thank god''. I sighed as I threw my back on the floor, making my way to the kitchen.

I went into the bottom bin of my fridge, removing some items to find the bag of chips I hidden was no longer there.

''Oh this-''.

''We're Home!'' Alice and Ariella announced the second they opened the door. I stood and turned to them.

''How was the park?'' I asked as the two walked towards the island.

''It was fun. Alice made me go high on the swings'' Ariella replied so happily. Alice smiled a proud one as she looked over to see the mess I made.

She grabbed both of my hands and gave them a small squeeze. ''Juliet I say this from the bottom of my heart. You're terrible at hiding things''.

I snatched my hands away from her grip as Ariella and Alice laughed.

''Haha. Go change I'm gonna start making dinner'' I instructed towards Ariella. She nodded and ran off.

''I must say you're pretty good with her. You're an amazing mom'' She praised. I dropped the frying pan at her very last statement.

Not once did I mention being a mother to Alice.

''What makes you think I'm a mom?'' I questioned as I picked up the frying pan that just so happen had fallen on my feet.

''Well for one there's two bedrooms and not once since I've been here that any older adults come in here presenting themselves to be Ariella's parents'' She stated.

Well I couldn't lie to her even if I tried. She was a werewolf after all.

''You have to make sure that you keep this a secret''.

She raised hands in defense. ''Aye you scratch my back I scratch yours''.

I pointed to her as we both nodded with knowingly smirks on our faces.

That's when we heard a knock.

''Take out the ground beef for me'' I quickly told her before I left the kitchen to answer the door.

''Lydia?''.

She usually stood there with a grin on her face but stood there expressionless. Something was obviously off.

''We need to talk''. She made her way inside, not even having the moment to acknowledge Alice presence.

I closed the door and followed her as we both sat on the couch.

''What's wrong?''.

''Have you been lying to me?'' She asked. I tilted my head to the side.

''Nope but I'm pretty sure you and the others have'' I remarked.

''Juliet I'm serious''.

''Me too''.

She sighed and looked around. The fact that she still didn't notice Alice made me turn to see her not there. But the meat was out.

''Is Ariella you're daughter?'' She asked. It's seems like that was the question that was really bugging her.

'Is everyone figuring out I'm a mother today?'.

''Lydia where are you getting this from?''.

''Just answer me''.

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. What exactly was I suppose to say, yes?

Her eye's widen as she stood and carefully walked towards the kitchen, walking up to the fridge.

''Mommy and me'' She read aloud yet it was low. First picture I decide to put up on the fridge. What a bite in the ass.

''Lydia-''.

She swiftly turned around and held the drawing in the air. ''Answer Me!''.

Finally, I nodded.

She looked down to averted my gaze. ''Whose the father'' She whispered.

''I'm not gonna say''.

She looked up with her nostrils flaring. ''Why not?''.

I stood and took a few steps foward. ''Lydia if I say whose the father, I'm going to ruin everything. Whether it's friendships or relationships I'm gonna be the cause of it''.

''Tell me whose the father?'' She asked again.

I gulped. ''Stiles''.

Every hint of emotion on her face fell. I guess you can say she was pretty much speechles.

''Why doesn't he know? Why isn't he apart of that little girl's life?'' She interrogated.

''Don't you think I wanted that? That's the whole point of why I moved back. I wanted to see if he could contribute to being the father. But for god sake Lydia look how happy he is. He has a girlfriend and she already dislikes me. What's gonna happen if I tell him that I'm the mother of his child?''.

She propped her elbows on the island and rest her head inside her palms. This was a moment where we weren't crying or mad. We were just desperate yet scared for the truth.

It fell extremely quiet and I wasn't sure how to label it.

I fiddled with my fingers as I watched her shake her head. ''Lydia?''.

She looked up. ''Well you know what I'm gonna do?''.

I watched her so she could continued. ''I'm gonna help you with that little girl. And if you want to keep this a secret I'll promise to keep it''.

I smiled a genuine one. It was a pretty nice offer. ''On one condition''.

She nodded.

''You'll have to tell me what you all been hiding from me?''.

She smirked at my request.

''Then sit down because it is truly a lon-''. She was interrupted when Alice ran in.

''I wanna know''. I shook my head as Lydia stood there in the moment of shock.

''You're Alice Carter, the werewolf we've been trying to find''.

Now it was our turn to look at Lydia in shock. Only with a hint of confusion.

''What?''.

Lydia waved and pursed her lips. ''It's apart of that long story''.

''You still need help babysitting?'' Stiles questioned as I stood at my locker. I shook my head.

I turned to him and mockingly smiled. ''Nope''.

''Juliet don't be like that. This is Ariella we're talking about. Whose gonna watch her?'' He interrogated.

''I'll take her to work with me'' I answered flatly.

''Okay be mad all you want, but don't let that affect Ariella. I already told you I'll do anything for her so you're gonna let me watch her'' He demanded.

I slammed my locker shut and looked him over.

''Fine''.

I walked, finding Lydia to inform her that she doesn't have to watch.

What happened at my place yesterday? Well, I now know that Lydia is a banshee, Scott's a werewolf -a true alpha to be exact-, Kira's a fox and Malia is a coyote. Scott wants Alice and Mrs.Carter to be in their pack but have not found either one.

Lydia promised to not give any leads of where Alice is being that Alice wants nothing to do with them, whereas Mrs.Carter, we have no clue.

And my spot inbewteen the madness? I keep my mouth shut pretend to know nothing, same with Lydia.

Pretty much how our lives will be for the moment being.
