Life was moving fast right now for the Hardys. Cole was back in school and Koda was in a pre-School close to Hardys apartment, Hardy spent most his time in the apartment writing for this new tape he was putting out.

Izzy has been working on a solo album and was doing odd shows, so most of them being in or around Nashville for the kids sake.

Tonight was the first time all four kids would see her preform, on stage that is anyway. "Nashville! Thanks for having me out tonight, I got a couple more songs I'd like to preform for y'all." She smiled as the crowd went wild.

"Mamma!" Kyro shouted as they watched. Hardy had such admiration for his wife. She was crushing it.

"I got some special guests out tonight, my four kids, Maliki-Cole, Dekota, Cade-Kobe and Kyro! My beautiful baby's!" She smiled waving over at their spot in the crowd. The kids ass waved back as they happily climbed all over Hardy and Ash and her parents,

"Mama loves you guys! This song I'm about to preform for y'all is a song I cherish, I owe a huge chunk of that to the man who wrote this song! It ain't mine, but I love it like it was! This is The way I Talk!" She sang as Hardy watched her start to preform knowing the crowd was about to go crazy.  When the chorus started Morgan bounced out from the side of the stage and the crowd lost it.

"Daddy look! Unc Morg!" Kyro shouted happily as he watched his mother and uncle.

"Yeah buddy! They're awesome huh" Hardy said smiling. Watching the two of them was electric. Hardy had never known siblings so tight. He wasn't that way with his brother or sisters.

They both celebrated with a row of shots on stage each before he left to let her finish the set. Morgan took about 20 minutes to make it back to the stands.

After the gig they headed back to broadway while their parents took all the kids back to the house. Hardy sat at the bar watching as Izzy danced with her sister. "Ay, best stop eyeing my sister like that!" Ash shouted over catching him as he chuckled and drank his whiskey. He walked to the jukebox, the bar was packed, he didn't care as he searched for the song and laughed.

He put in a few coins. Drumming the top of the box as it played. Chris Stapletons Tennessee Whiskey bellowed out the speakers. He drank his drink down as he made his way over to Iz.

"Can I have this dance?" He asked as she blushed nodding as he pulled her away happily,

"Ain't you a romantic all of a sudden" she said hiding her blush as he swayed from side to side with her.

"You know I've always been a romantic for you baby" he giggled as she looked up at him. He twirled her around as her little dress puffed out. He grinned as she came back in.

"I've looked for love in the same old places, found the bottom of the bottles always dry" he said as she laughed at her goofy husband. He leaned her down. Kissing her lips quickly as he pulled her back up.

She wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him fully. They ignored the cheering from their friends in the background as hardy flipped them the bird.

"I missed you" he said simply as she grinned widely.

"I want you to come home" She giggled as he nodded. Wrapping her in a hug and kissing her again.

Hardy was home with the kids while Izzy was in LA. They had gotten so used to being apart it wasn't a problem anymore. Hardy seen it as a blessing in disguise really. He worked hard every day to prove he was sorry about what happened and it was in the past for them now.

The twins were sleeping and Koda had fallen asleep on the chair, Micheal and Cole sat watching TV. Eating snacks as Hardy had a few beers.

"When does mom come home?" Cole asked as Hardy looked down.
