Nicole's POV
I walked into Erica's bedroom on moving day, we had to move apparently Luke was stalking us, and it just wasn't safe. Paula made plans to move us in her neighborhood because it had a gate, and a specific code which only we were supposed to know, unless we had a guest. I wasn't sure how little Erica was going to feel about, but she wouldn't understand, try explaning to a 4 year old what moving is, and that her father was stalking her, and it was making her mother nervous that might try to kidnap her.
I opened the curtains to light in her room, her very empty room, Paula had the trucking company come early that morning and take our stuff into the new house, and I told her where I wanted everything in the house. I shook her shoulders trying to wake her up, she moved a little bit, so I told her to wake up and come down for breakfast, she can ride in the car in her pj's. She came down stairs 5 minutes later holding her stuffed bunny she sleeps with at night and gave me a hug. I brushed my fingers through her curly black hair while she gave me a lingering hug, I picked her up and sat her in the bar stool that was facing the stove and went back to finishing breakfast for us.
"Erica come on we have to go now" I called, hoping it would hurry her along
"I'm coming mommy, don't leave without me" She called from the family room
"I won't come on do you have your animals with you?" I asked, standing near the entrance to the family room
"Yeah I got them, one second mommy, can you help me get in the car?" She asked, getting herself off the floor
"Yes come on baby, you can sleep in the car I know your still tired" I said, coaxing her to me
2 hours later we arrived at the neighborhood gates and I entered the code in the box and drove to our new home, in Dalian Skye(*not sure if real neighborhood in California, if it is, then tell me so I can make up a random neighborhood*). Paula was waiting for us on our front lawn, the moving truck was still there, but they would be leaving shortly there was not much left in the truck. I picked up a sleeping Erica and put her in our hammock swing on the front porch before saying hi to Paula.
"Miss Scherzinger we finished putting the furniture in the house we will be leaving now, you do not need to pay us it was on us, goodnight" one of the men said
"Thank you so much for doing this for us we really appreciate it, I must pay you because you came early this morning to get our stuff out of the house before we woke up" I said, feeling bad because they had to come early and didn't get to sleep
"Miss Scherzinger we insist that you don't pay, we were fine coming this morning, we really must be going now" He said, walking away to his truck

Erica's POV
I am waiting for mommy to pick me up from kindergarten, the office said she is running late but will try and pick me up. Brielle is one of my new friends, she's a month older than me, her parents are late as well, so we colored a picture in the office.
"Erica your mothers here get your stuff" Michelle said from behind the desk
"I'm coming" I said
"I'm sorry I was late Erica, my assistant kept me late again this week, we might have to hire a nanny for you" Mommy said, taking my hand in hers
"She always keeps you late mommy why can't you just quit your job and be a stupid stay at home mom like everybody else" I whined, while she buckled me in my carseat.
"Erica Marie that is how I make money for us to eat and for you to go to school and you know I cannot be a stay at home mom Erica, I have fans and I love them but I love you even more but we must hire a nanny for you, I can't keep picking you up late, and getting you to school late" Mommy informed me
"But I don't want a stupid nanny mommy I just want you" I yelled at her before she shut the door
"Erica language and you have me I'm just not there all the time, she will only be there when I can't get you anywhere and when I work late" Mommy warned
"Mommy where are you?" I whispered when I ran to mommy's record studio, running away from a field trip
"Where are you going missy and where are your parents?" A Man asked me, standing right down the hall blocking my view
"I'm looking for my mommy now let me go" I yelled, alerting the whole building
"I can't let you go unless you tell me what you are doing in my recording studio with no parent in sight, when no one in my recording studio has a kid, missy" He said again
"Mommy" I yelled, and ran the other direction from the scary man, and ended right in the front office of the building, and ran into a girl standing by the elevator who seemed to be worried.
"I'm sorry miss I didn't see you there" I said
"its quite alright I'm Jasmine in case your were wondering what's your name sweetie?" Jasmine responded
"My name's Erica my mommy works here but I can't find her can you help me?" I said, giving her the puppy dog eyes
"Sure What's your mommy's name?" Jasmine asked
"Her name's Nicole I'm sure she's probaly on the 4th floor since that's what she told me before" I said, not much of a help
"Is this your mommy, sweetie, miss Nicole Scherzinger?" Jasmine said, standing next to a door
"Yeah that's her thanks for helping me find her see ya soon" I cried, and opened the door, only to have Jasmine follow me inside the room.
"Miss Scherzinger there's someone here who would like to see you" Jasmine said into the microphone that went inside the booth and I sat on the floor to color
"Erica Marie Scherzinger I'm very disapointed in you, why did you come here?" Mommy asked
"Because the girls weren't very nice to me and Brielle wouldn't help me when they called me names" I said
"We will talk about this when we get home missy, thanks for finding her Jasmine do you know your way back to our house?" She asked
"Yes Miss Scherzinger I do, I'll be there when you come back, good luck with Erica" Jasmine said
