We made our way to the house and entered using my key.
R: MAMAAA!!!!

We heard Rose yelling and running towards us but when she saw Scar, she ran to her and wrapped herself around Scar's leg.
Scar picked her up and Rose just clung to her as tight as she can.

She then pulled away and pulled me towards them yelling:
R: Family hug!!!

We kissed Rose's cheek and hugged before saying goodbye to Lizzie and Robbie and heading out to the car to take the little munchkin to school.
Lizzie told me that they're going home and that she'll call me later.

R: Let's sing our song!!!
S: Again?! We listen to it every time baby.
Me: YES!! LET'S!!!
S: I have two kids......

We put on "Set It All Free" by my one and only best friend Scarlett Johansson.

I've followed my heart into the fire
Got burned, got broken down by desire
I've tried, I've tried but the smoke in my eyes
Left me blurry, blurry and blind
I've picked all the pieces up off the ground
I've burned all my fingers, but that's gone now
Got the glue in my hands and stickin' to the plan
Stickin' to the plan that says
I can do anything at all
I can do anything at all
This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down
Gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho
I was a girl caught under your thumb
But my stars gonna shine brighter than your sun
And I will reach so high, shoot so far
Gonna hit, gonna hit, hit every target
Make it count this time
I will make it count this time
This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keepin' me down
I'm gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down
I'm gonna let it all out
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free
You set it all free

After finishing the song, all of us started laughing and cheering.
We listened to more music and danced along the music until we made our way to the school.

We kissed Rosie and wished her a good day at school before making our way to a nearby café and sitting down with lattes.
S: So...... About what I said yesterday.....
Me: Can I talk to you about something Scar?
S: Of course babes. Tell me.
Me: You know you and Rose are the most important things in my life, right?
S: Of course. Why would you say that?
Me: Because I want to be there for you. I want to be there but I also don't want to cause any problems that might make you or Rose unhappy.
S: Wait. Stop. You think my problems in my marriage are because of you?!
Me: Yeah.... You said he was jealous of my relationship with you and Rose....
S: Exactly. Did you hear what you said?
Me: I don't understand.
S: HE is jealous. That's not your fault or problem. It's his. You are the only constant in my life. You've been there through thick and thin and the only one I can count on to always be there regardless of what is going on between us. I'm not going to let anyone get in the middle of our relationship. You're off limits. You and Rose. He will come around. I told him that he can either accept the fact that you are always going to be present in my life and Rosie's life or he can pack his shit and leave.
Me: Ohh Scar.....
S: It's ok Y/N. I will never allow anyone to treat you or Rosie like that. If he comes around, great. If he doesn't, it's his loss.
Me: That's why he left last night?
S: Yeah.... He said he has to think about it.
Me: I'm sorry......
S: It's not your fault... Thank you for taking such good care of Rose while she was with you.
Me: Of course. I would always-
