Cayden and Skylynn were currently in the middle of what seemed to be a very important tea party

“NASH SSSSH! You’re making the Queen horses sad” Skylynn whined for what was probably the fifth time

“I’m sorry Miss Sky” he apologises, sending me a painful glare. Hey it wasn’t my idea for tea parties.

“How about Nash and I go to my room?” I suggest as Skylynn rolls her eyes

“Yes, but you have to be quiet” She commands bossily. Nash and I hold back our laughter as we make our way upstairs and into my room. I burst into my room and jump onto my bed as the laughter seeps out uncontrollably. Nash and I both laugh for what feels like an eternity before my phone rings. I answer the phone still slightly laughing, not even bothering to look at the caller ID

“Kota? Are you alright?”

“Oh, Hey Nate. Yea everything’s fine”

“What’s so funny Lil Mamma?” I can just see the smirk as he says it

“It’s just the kids” my laughter finally subsiding

“Oh. Are you going to come back on the tour soon?” he asks with curiosity

“Nah. It’s not good for Cayden, so where just gonna stay where we are” I answer truthfully

“But you found Skylynn, so come back on the tour” a slight hint of anger showing

“We’re good, thanks. Cayden wants to stay in HIS house and I’m going to do whatever’s best for him and what he’s comfortable with” attitude evident in my tone as I answer

“And you don’t think it would be good for him to be with his dad?” he snaps

“To be honest, he’s already forgotten you” I hang up the call and look at the sour expression on Nash’s face “What?”

“That was too far” I run my hand through my hair and lay back on my bed. What have I done? I took it too far. A scream from downstairs steals my attention, causing me to run down immediately. Cayden sits at the computer desk happily as the screen displays Sammy, Jack, Jack and Nate.

“Uncle Sammy” Cayden squeals happily as he looks at me, his pacifier hanging from his mouth

“Yea baby” I walk over to the desk and sit in the chair, placing Cayden on my lap “Where’s Pa baby?” I ask Cayden. The action he displays breaks my heart as I realise that my comment to Nate was real, he doesn’t remember. “Sammy boy, where’s Nate?”

“Your bunk”

“Can you get him?” he looks confused “Please?” I beg. He nods and calls out to Nate who basically runs to the laptop

“Kota, Cay. Oh god I’m sorry” he rushes

“Don’t be” as soon as Cayden sees Nate he turns into my chest, hiding in my hair “Say ‘Hi’ to Pa please Cayden” I tell him, pulling him back

“Hey Cay buddy” Cayden refuses to look at him. I give Cayden a strong glare and he finally turns around to face Nate. But as soon as he sees his face he bursts into tears. Cayden wraps his tiny arms around me as he cries into my chest, before he jumps off my lap and runs to Nash

“Nash, can you find his blanket please?” I call as I turn back to the iMac

“Why is he there?” Nate asks jealously

“Not the time, not the place” he rolls his eyes and walks away, typical “Love you guys, talk later” I end the call and quickly run to Cayden who is snuggled in Nash’s lap with his favourite green and blue fluffy blanket as Nash mutters sweet nothing to him, calming him into a sleep.
