''When I Hop Out His New Six, Fresh In Some New Shit, Damn She Is Too Thick, Who Is This? Yeah I'm His New Bitch'' Alice sang loudly with the actual song playing in the background. She was in the kitchen, jumping around wearing only a black sports bra with the pink logo on it and a pair of grey sweatpants.

Ariella and I stood in the hallway, watching the entire performance in amusement.

''But I'm A Debut, You A Deja Vu, Girl You Know The Drill, I'm A Couple- Ah!''. She dropped the pan on top of the island and crossed her arms awkwardly across her chest.

I pursed my lips and titled my head, pointing at the pan filled with chocolate chip flavoured pancakes. ''I just went food shopping''.

She smiled cheesily. ''No kidding. The kitchen is the ideal pre-apocalyptic safety bound''.

I closed the door behind me as Ariella and I walked towards the kitchen. ''Oh my god, you've been watching The Walking Dead?''.

She raised her hands in defensed and chuckled. ''Hey, no one can resist a guy like Norman Reedus''

I snorted while taking a seat. Ariella on the other hand, ran inside the kitchen and into the fridge.

''Anyway, I have great news'' She continued, sliding the pancake onto her plate.

''Shoot'' I replied. Ariella took a seat next to me, handing me a juice box.

''Someone is moving into the building and was looking for a roomate. I applied and now you are looking at you're new next door neighbor''.

''Congrats but what exactly are you going to put into you're new apartment? Hate to be a buzz kill but I'm pretty sure clothes aren't use for a decorative piece'' I remarked, poking the tiny white straw into the hole.

Alice turned from grabbing a fork and dug right into her pancake. ''And that's where my wonderful friend comes in''.

I narrowed my eye's as a wicked grin formed on her lips.

''God she has a plan'' I muttered.

''It's not bad. All you have to do is sneak into my gram's house and get my things'' She simply stated with a shrug of her shoulders.

''Oh Hell No!'' I snapped. I raised a brow once I heard Ariella gasp.

''That's A Curse!'' She yelled. I bowed my head while Alice shot me a knowingly smirk.

''Okay muppet, give me you're best shot'' I stated. I leaned towards her as she laughed with a devilish smile sketching her lips as gave my lips a light smack.

I smirked. ''Better?''.

She laughed again and nodded.

''Of course, you can't face a witch because you can't even face you're three year old daughter''. She smiled as she swallowed her last piece of pancake.

I pursed my lips and arched my eyebrows. ''You're grandma can do voodoo''.

She shook her head and mouthed ''Pussy''.

I rolled my eye's and got off the seat. ''I'm gonna take a shower''.

The ends of my hair dripped as I made my way to the kitchen. I grabbed my phone that laid upon the islands surface, answering it on it's third ring.

''Stilinski. Pleasure to speak to you again'' I remarked.

''Nice use of sarcasm. I'd take that as a hint you still haven't forgiven me?'' He questioned.

''Someone can catch on pretty quickly'' I stated, while looking out the kitchen window. Nothing eventful I must say.

I wasn't mad at him anymore. That was history, but just so no one can suspect anything, I have to pretend not to like them.

''Juliet, don't let you're hatred for us affect you're care for Ariella.. Because I'm still coming over'' He stated.

''Okay''. I shrugged and hunged up on him. Just when I was going to set my phone down, it started to ring again.

I smirked. ''McCall?''.

He chuckled. ''Wow that was fast''.

''Speak. I have to be at the cafe in an hour'' I hissed.

''I'm on my way over to help with Ariella'' He stated.

''Wait Scott-''. I stopped and turn the second I heard a crash. Ariella stood at the entry of the kitchen with a small amount of broken pieces of the cookie jar stabbed her feet. The rest laid in front of her.

''Oh my god'' I muttered as soon as she started crying. I placed the phone on the counter, ignoring Scott's continuous worry calls as I looked around the floor, finding a way to walk over to her without getting cut.

But that was my most fatal attempt ever. The tiniest piece of glass was like being stabbed with needles millions of times.

''Shit'' I hissed, stepping on yet another piece of glass. Meanwhile Ariella continuously stood there, screaming and crying.

I took a deep breath, picking her up and putting her on the counter.

Oh and where is Alice throughout all of this? Sneaking her way into her grandmother's house because she's too much of a bitch to face the woman herself.

And am I angry? Gee how can you tell?

''Mommy it hurts'' She cried as I tried to take out a piece out of her foot. But of course every kid in a predicament when they step on glass, fidgets.

''I know baby, I know but you have to- Ah!'' I yelled. Trying to stand on the side of my feet to avoid pushing the glass further in but in return, I landed on another piece of glass.

Perfect timing, because Scott and Stiles bursted through the door.

Scott came and picked me up bridal style, leading me to the living room, puting me on the couch. I guess Stiles was dealing with Ariella.

''Okay Ariella look at me. Everything's gonna be okay, okay?'' He spoke softly as his fingers gripped onto one of the pieces.

Her cries lowered as he pulled out pieces by pieces. She would yelp once it would be pulled but overall she was calm.

He gasped, smiling. ''Look it, all gone''.

He moved her legs around, his smile widening as he watched her laugh dryly.

''There we go. There's that smile'' He stated, wiping away the stray tears.

''He'd be perfect''. I turned to see Scott smiling at me, a genuine one.

I nodded, knowing the gist of what he was saying.

And he would. He would be the perfect dad. If only he knew...
