The following morning, Sophie was actually the first one up instead of Natalie. However, it was not like she could do anything in her current situation. None of her limbs could move freely, with warmth pressing from either side. It turned out that after they had gone to bed, both Shannon and Natalie sought to hold one another. One of them wanted more comfort, while the other was subconsciously trying to give more comfort. Which was all fine and dandy, save for the fact that they went to bed on either side of Sophie. This resulted in them sandwiching the kid between them, effectively trapping her. And while it was warm and cozy, and radiated nothing but happiness, there was a slight issue. Her bladder was currently full.

She tried to break free of the clutches of her two new parents, but it was futile. Due to the web of limbs that wrapped around her, Sophie was unable to get any leverage to pull or push her way out. As the pressure built up, she started calling out to the two, uncaring on if she woke everyone else up as well. However, all that Shannon and Natalie did was close in and cuddle closer, as if to keep her from getting away from them. While the unconscious gesture made her feel welcome, it did not cause her to be happy in this moment of panic. If anything, she struggled harder to get out of the bonds that held her down in bed.

Thankfully for Sophie, her calling out for help did rouse one of the others in the tent. Kali may not have been a morning person, but she was still used to waking up at the slightest noise. As she sat up, she turned with a grumpy face at the source of the noise. As she became aware of what the issue was, she started giggling to herself, seeing the whole mess. While she was tempted to see what would happen if she did nothing, she could see the panic clear on Sophie's face as she tried to get out. Slowly, Kali moved over beside the tangled mess of human bodies and slowly started prying her Alpha and her mate apart. Not something she ever expected having to do, but so far everything this pack had done was completely unexpected. That was partly why she enjoyed being in it so much, as there was always something going on, something new and exciting.

As Sophie managed to get her arms free, she started using them to pull herself out while Kali slowly worked on her legs. When she did finally pop out, she bolted outside the tent to take care of business. Kali just sat back and watched as Nat and Shannon entangled themselves back together, now getting closer together to fill the void that the missing body once occupied. As she saw this, Kali thought of a funny joke to play on the two. When Sophie came back a little while later, Kali almost immediately shooed her out, sending her to spend some time with the coyotes that were still outside keeping watch. The sun was just starting to rise, and there was not much time if Natalie's natural clock was anything to go by.

Sure enough, almost right as the sun peered into the tent, did Natalie start yawning, and going through her process of waking up. As she finished yawning, she pulled Shannon in for a gentle hug, but felt something was missing. As she opened her eyes, trying to figure out what was wrong, she finally noticed the lack of a third body. Sophie was not currently there. Worry set in, before she shook Shannon. "Shan, wake up! Sophie isn't here!" Natalie's voice cried out in panic.

"Huh, wuzzat?" Shannon responded, belligerently. She was the least of a morning person out of everyone, so it took Natalie repeating it a few times until she finally understood what was being said. Her eyes went wide as she looked around the tent for the little munchkin. "Oh crap, where did she go? Did she run off?" she exclaimed, now equally filled with worry as her partner. Neither of them noticed Kali doing her best to hold in her laughter in the entrance of the tent, their vision strictly looking for any sign of Sophie.

"I don't think so, her jacket is still over there. Did she disappear into a Soulscape?" Natalie asked, franticly looking around. Though both doubted it was possible, they immediately turned their sight inwards to check to see if anything changed. Seeing nothing was different, they both came out and shared a look. As they did, Kali finally couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing. Both Shannon and Natalie's heads snapped to the laughing wolf, curious on what was so funny in such a situation. As she regained her breath under the icy glares of the two in front of her, Kali explained Sophie's need to relieve herself, and the ensuing struggle all the way up to her going over to sit with the coyotes.

While Nat had a pretty good idea that spending time with the coyotes was Kali's idea, she said nothing. After all, the revelation that they almost were involved in that mess was mellowing. After promising vengeance for the prank, Natalie ad Shannon went out to join both the coyotes and their daughter. Sophie just climbed up into Shannon's arms and cuddled some more, showing that she would have been fine staying in bed a little longer. Seeing her expression, they decided that a little more cuddling wouldn't hurt. After all, they had already decided that they wouldn't be travelling that day, so a bit more time bonding was no issue. As it was their time to wind down, the coyotes came and joined them against the tree. All together, they just sat there and watched the sun rise through the foliage as they waited for the rest of the pack to wake up.
