The rest of the night was painful... But I survived as soon as we got home and told Alexis she looked like she needed coffee so I would put Ashley to bed.

“Come on.” I stuck out my hand for her to take. I took the 5 year olds’ hand and took her to her bedroom.

“Ali-cat?” She yawned mid way.

“Yeah little Ash?” I handed her, her pyjamas.

‘Why is there so many people with A’s in our family?” Her eyes were trying to stay open.

“Because our family is incredibly weird, I’ll wait here go brush your teeth.” I pushed her to the door and sat on her bed. This little girl was me at 5, I just hope she finds happiness like I did only I had to leave to find it.

“Kay Ali-ca” a yawn stopped her. I grinned and put her in bed.

“Slight tight little Ash.” I smiled and rubbed her head till her breathing became slow and her eyes lay still. I turned and saw Zacky in the doorway smiling at me, love in his eyes.

“What Mr. Vengeance?” I asked hugging him and putting my hands in his back pockets.

“Nothing, I just know you’ll be a great Mom.” I smiled and kissed him.

“I know you’ll be a great Dad because in my opinion if you can handle Dave and Jacob you can handle anything...that and every little kid has loved you.” I smiled. He put his arm around me and we walked to our bedroom. I changed into checkered green and blue shorts with a black tank top and put my hair in braids and threw on my glasses and went down stairs. Zacky was texting on his phone while Alexis was getting coffee ready.

“Sis, you need help?” I asked standing behind Zacky.

“Nope, I’m fine I’m good!” She called.

“They’re staying at The Dark Light Hotel.” He informed me. I nodded, I love my friends but if something bad happens and its their fault I’m detaching from the band!

“Where’s Ryan?” I sat beside my lover.

“Putting twins to bed... he might be a while.” Zacky smirked. How long does it take to get two 7 year old twins to bed!

“I can make them go to bed!” I rolled my eyes,

“Zacky don’t.” He walked upstairs.

“So um I hope you don’t mind but Mom kind of invited herself over tomorrow for lunch...” Alexis trailed off.

“I’ll make sure I’m not here then.” I looked at Alexis when she put coffee in front of me.

“You can’t make me deal with her on my own! Now that you’re back I need-“

“Whoa, whoa! I’m not back! I’m here for your wedding after that I’m going back to California.” I defended.

“Fine but you can’t loose touch again!” She pleaded

“That woman murdered me with glares imagine what she’ll do if she can visit me!” Zacky and Ryan came into the kitchen grinning,

“What did you baboons do?” Alexis asked sitting across from me.

“Hey Zacky is not a baboon, he’s a boob.” I laughed at his face.

“We got the boys to bed just fine.” Ryan said fighting a laugh.

“What did you do...” I asked slowly.

“I told them if they didn’t go to bed I would fart on them and last time I knocked Brian out with one.” He grinned proudly.

“You still want to go back to Cali? We can get plane tickets and move to London.” Alexis promised.

“I would but I need my boob. He needs me.” I stated shoving Zacky.

“We’re going to bed!” Zacky picked me up bridal style from my seat.

“Night!” I called over his shoulder.

“Don’t be too loud!” Ryan yelled laughing.

Zacky put me down by the door and kissed me.

“I love you my horn dog but I just want to sleep! Tomorrow.” He sighed and looked at me,

“I’m holding you to that.” With a smirk I lied in bed. Zacky lied with me and wrapped his arms around me waist until I woke the next morning.
