"momma where's daddy? is he okay?" my four year old daughter, natalie grace, asked me. i stopped reading and looked at her. her face was expectant, demanding answers.

"yes, daddy's fine. he and uncle tyler are just performing music for their many friends across the world." i explained. natalie's twin sister, elle, then tapped me.

"why can't he come back and sing for us, mommy?" elle asked me. i frowned.

"because right now he's very far away." i replied.

"does daddy not love us anymore?" natalie asked me, her voice cracking. elle gasped and started crying.

"no, no, of course daddy loves us. he loves us with his whole heart. this is just his job. and when you're both older we can go with him." i assured my crying twin daughters. my throat felt heavy and i felt like i was going to cry too. i knew that josh being on tour would be hard for the girls. but i never expected them to doubt his love for them.

"i miss daddy." natalie sobbed, wrapping her arms around me, hugging me.

"me too. i want my dad." elle agreed, also hugging me. i sighed.

"he'll be home in two months. then he'll be home for awhile and we can spend lots and lots of time with him, i promise." i promised my daughters. i released them from the hug and wiped the tears off their faces.

"what do you guys say we get our jammie's on and sit on the couch and see if we can find a live stream of daddy and uncle tyler's concert they're playing right now?" i proposed. the twins' faces lit up.

"yes!" they agreed in unison.

i brought the two girls into their shared room and helped them get their night gowns on. ever since the girls were born, i wasn't as sad when josh went on tour. mostly because both girls had their father's face, except they had my eye color.

but i knew it was harder for them because they didn't understand. and it broke my heart that they doubted their father's love for them because of it.

we went to the living room and sat on the couch. luckily i was able to find a live stream for the boston show they were performing. the show had only started a half hour before so we still had lots of time before it ended.

when i clicked on the stream it was a close up of josh drumming to morph. the girls jumped off the couch and immediately became ecstatic.

"daddy!" natalie cheered.

"it is daddy!" elle cheered as well. i giggled.

"sit down girlies! i know you're excited but we need to chill a little bit." i told them. they both sat down next to me again and continued watching it.

when they began performing we don't believe what's on tv, elle spoke up.

"i really like this song, mommy." she told me.

"i actually like hold onto you." natalie chimed in. elle looked at her twin sister.

"it's actually, holding onto you." she said as a matter of factly.

"very close though, nat." i told my daughter.

within twenty minutes, both twins fell asleep. it was already nine, so i wasn't surprised. i watched almost the entire rest of the stream before i turned it off. i had to get the girls situated in their room and myself cleaned up before josh facetimed me after the show like he usually did. sometimes i'd let the girls talk to him too but i didn't want to wake them up. especially since i had to talk to josh about how they acted earlier on.
