I wake up and look around to see where I am. I realize I'm in Jackson's room and try to figure out how I got here. I shook it off and went to my bedroom to get changed. I grab a red and black romper (pants) and black combat boots and go to the bathroom to grab my brush.

"Dad!" I shout and I hear footsteps running through the hallway.

"Are you ok?" Dad asks with a worried look.

"I'm fine dad, but can you do my hair ," I ask handing him the brush.

"You had me worried there," he says brushing my hair.

"Well I'm sorry but can you put it in a pony," I say smiling.

"I really can't say no to you," he says and continues to brush my hair. He pulls my hair back and we leave he bathroom.

"You guys ready to go?" My mom asks as we enter the living room.

"Yep I'm hungry," I say and grab Jackson's hand and we walk to the cafeteria.

"Race ya!" Henry and Colin say to each other and run down the hallway.

"I'll go after them," dad says and starts jogging.

"Momma isn't running boys," mom says and puts her hand on her stomach.

"What about baby momma?"Jackson asks.

"It doesn't want momma to run ," mom says.

"Can I run?" He asks.

"Claire will have to run with you," mom says so I start to jog and Jackson chases after me. When I'm running into the cafeteria I run into someone.

"Oof sorry," I say patting down my clothes.

"It's ok Claire-bear," the person says and I look up and see Blake.

"Hey," I say giving him a hug.

"How was your sleep last night?" He asks letting go of me.

"I woke up in my brothers room so I'm not sure," I say.

"Gotcha," Jackson says wrapping his arms around my legs.

"This is the little one that let me in last night," Blake says.

"You were awake at 10:45?" I ask him.

"Sleepover," is all he says.

"Then your dad seemed a little scary," he says

"He's a little over protective when it comes to boys. I'm his only daughter," I say.

"Your mom knew who I was," he says smirking.

"Hey a mom is a girls best friend you've got to tell her the good stuff," I say.

"So you told her we went on a date and kissed," he says stepping closer.

"Not the kissing part," I say.

"Well I'm going to get going by Claire bear," he says.

"Bye Blakey boo," I say. He grabs my face a we share a quick kiss.

"You can't tell her about that one then," he says and kisses my cheek. He walks off and I realize my dad could've seen us.

"Let's go to the table," I say and take Jackson's hand.

"Daddy is over there," Jackson says as we make our way to the table.

"Let's get over there," I say.

"Sit here," Jackson says once we make it to the table.

"Munchkin was that the Blake kid?" Dad asks.
