*one month later*

LUNAS POV

"I honestly don't understand how you're not terrified of being here?" I heard Vanessa say while she looks around. "I don't know, maybe I'm used to it? And today it's a good reason to be here" I beam causing her to smile. I link my arm through hers as we step into the hospital elevator to the 10th floor. "Thanks for coming with me by the way. My dad wouldn't let me go if I would go alone" I smile to my best friend who just smiles back. Today is the last check up for my dad and for that reason I wanted to be here to go home with him. The last few months I travelled a lot between school, the hospital and Idinas apartment. But from this day that wouldn't be neccesary. The last test came back amazingly and the cancer was gone. There was that amount of percentage that it would come back, but dad and everyone around me seemed to forget about that. He was cured and I wasn't going to loose him too. "We're here" Vanessas voice shook me out of my zone and I nod. She gently pulls me forwards and we walk over to the room where my dad had stayed multiple days in a row. "Hi dad, we're here" I announce when I bounce into the room. My dad looks up from the paper and a smile appears on his face. "Hi darling, Hi Nessa" he gets up to pull me into a hug. "It's moving day" he jokes while giving us a wink. "It's moving day" I chuckle causing Vanessa to chuckle too. 

"Could we stop at Idina and Kristins?" I ask as we sit in the backseat of the car. "Sounds like a good plan I think Idina wanted to discuss the publishing thing anyway, so we can combine that" he answers and I look over to Vanessa. "Do you want to come? Kristin can probably help us with our homework if she is home" I ask her and after thinking for a second she nods. After a short drive dad drives the car onto the parkinglots close to Idina and Kristins apartment like he had done multiple times. I take my schoolbag from the backseat and wait for Vanessa to get out of the car to close the door. We walk over to the apartment where I press the buttom to their apartment. After a few moments of silence Kristins voice sounds through the intercom. "Hi it's me" I simple speak through the intercom and after a few beats the door opens. "Ladies first" my dad smiles as he holds the door for us. We walk in the hall and I click on the button for the elevator. Soon enough the doors open and we take the elevator to their floor. As the door to their apartment opens Kristin appears in the dooropening with a smile on her face. "Hi there stranger" she smiles pulling me into a hug. I melt into her embrace and can't help to smile. "Idina is not home yet, she has her last wicked meeting here before having to go to london." Kristin brings out while taking our coats. For some reason I feel a weird flutter in my stomach when I think about the fact that Idina is gonna be far away. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm  going to miss her when she is gone or that I can't visit her everyday. "She will be back in about 15 minutes. Do you want something to drink?" she continues looking from me to Vanessa to my dad. "Coffee please" Dad is the first one to answer causing Kristin to look back to me and Vanessa. "soda please" Vanessa says and I nod. "Same for me please" I smile and Kristin walks into the kitchen. While she prepares the drinks we sit ourselfs on the couch. After a while Kristin appears with the drinks and after handing them to us she sits down. "Kristin could you help us with these music assigment?" I say after a while causing Kristin to look up from a random converstation she was having with my dad. Vanessa and I moved over to the table to do homework. She gets up from the couch and walks over. "What is it about?" she asks before gently leaning over my shoulder to look. "We have name these notes" I say pointing at the music bar on the paper. "I can indeed help with that" she smiles before pulling a chair in between us.

IDINAS POV

When I unlock the door I am greeted by a happy dog and the sound of chaotic laughter at the kitchen table. Kristin and Walter are helping the girls with some homework and apparently that's very amusing. I walk over to them and Vanessa is the first one to notice me. "Hi Idina" she smiles and I can't help but smile at the difference with how nervous she was to be around me a few months ago. "Hi there, what are we doing?" I ask before kissing Kristin on her cheek. "Naming these notes here" Luna answers and I look over her shoulder on the papers spread in front of them. "A sharp, an E flat and a C minor" I point to the last 3 notes off the first row and give Luna her shoulder a soft squeeze causing her to smile at me. "Walter can we discuss the publishing thing?" I look over to the taller man and he just nods. "We're in the office" I state and Kristin nods before focussing on the notes in front of them again. I close the door behind me and take place at the small sofa in the room. "Well I called my publisher about what Luna suggested." I start and he nods for me to continue. "We talked about the options and we came to the conclusion that she can tell it eventually. Only the things is I'm leaving for London in a month and I don't feel good about the fact that you guys are here with all those paparazzi. I will be busy with the show and rehearsals so I won't be able to keep an eye on all of this. I know that Kristin is here most of the time, but I don't feel good about not being able to protect her from that" I explain and Walter remains silence to think for a second. "What would be her options then? When could she tell?" he asks after a while. "Well, I would be in London almost all the time for six month. So that would mean that she could go public about it in january" I answer honestly. "I know she wants to tell everyone soon and I understand that, but I would not be able to forgive myself if something happens to her because of the crazy paparazzi out there." I continue looking down at my own hands. "And I thank you for that" Walter suddenly says causing me to look up. I want to answer but a knock on the door interrupts me. Luna appears around the corner looking from me to her dad. "Can I interrupt?" she gently asks and I nod. "Dad? Kristin asked if we wanted to stay for diner. But Vanessa has to eat at home, so I was wondering if you could drive her home?" she asks softly and I look from her to Walter. He thinks for a seconds and nods. "Yeah give me 10 more minutes and I will drive her." he smiles causing Luna to smile and with that she leaves the room. "Anyways, to summarize this. It would be wiser to keep this to herself for a little longer until it settles down a little bit" he says and I nod. "If she wants to I can even do it for her then, but I'm not sure if she is ready for the whole world to know. I think it's better for her just to start with her classmates and people around her instead of an public announcement" I explain and Walter nods again. "I will talk about it with her" he states and now it's my time to nod. "Well I have a girl to drop off at home." he chuckles while getting up. "Are you sure it's no big deal for us to stay for diner?" he asks a little bit tentatively. "Kris probably already counted on it, so it's no big deal at all" I assure him before opening the office door. We walk back into the living room to find Kristin preparing diner in the kitchen and the two girls hanging over their schoolwork. "Nessa are you ready to go?" Walter announces to let them know that we're back in the room. Vanessa looks up from her notebook and nods. She puts her stuff back in the bag and throws it over her shoulder. "Thanks for having me over" she says looking from me to Kristin who gives her a light hug. "No problem at all" I smile before giving her a hug too. "see you next time" Kristin says as we wave her goodbye.

A few moments later Kristin continues with diner, I read back the emails about the meeting I had and Luna is doing her schoolwork. I'm about to finish the email when I get interrupted by my ringtone. I let out a soft groan before getting up and walking over to my phone on the charger. I take it off and look on the screen to find Caras name. "Hi Curly, what's up!" I ask her causing Kristin and Luna both to look up. "Hi, just wanted to check in on you. How you doing?" She asks from the otherside of the line. Kristin and Luna both focus on the paper again so I lean against the wall. It's been a while since she called so I kind of was expecting her to call anytime soon. "I'm good, how are the boys?" I says as I lean against the doorframe. "They miss you, but they are good" I smile when I realise she is using her boys as cover for the fact that she is the one missing me. "I miss you too curly" I smile letting out a soft chuckle. I watch Kristin looking up from cutting in the kitchen to Luna. It looks like she is asking a question so Kristin walks over to the table. She gently leans over Lunas shoulder listening to the young girl explain her problem. She smiles for a second and points to something on the paper. Luna raises her eyesbrow for a second but as soon as Kristin points at it again she seems to get it. "Are you still there" Caras voice snaps me out of my own world. "Yes, sorry. Luna is here and I just got distracted" I mumble absently while still staring at the scenario in front of me I never really expected to mean so much to me. "One day this woman will be my wife" I mumble just above breathe. "What did you say?" sounds from the other side of the phone. "I want to marry her, Cara. I really do" I whisper to my sister just taking in the blonde woman helping my daugther. "I know you do" she answers and at the sound in her voice I know she is smiling. "I'm going to propose to her sooner or later" I continue absently and Cara just remains silence. "She is going to be my wife"
