Bella crawled to the door and sat patiently to wait for her dad. He was on his way back from the airport since he went to pick up Cameron. But I was trying to get her to eat her dinner.

"Baby can you come and eat?" I asked.

"Dada." she said pointing to the door.

I walked over and picked her up "He'll be home soon okay?"

I set her down and severed her plate up. I made steak with potatoes and broccoli so I made sure her steak was in small pieces. As soon as I set her plate down the door opened which got her attention.

"Hi!" she yelled.

I put her down before she tried to fly out of her damn highchair. I've never seen my child move so fast before. She bolted over and hugged his legs. Cameron picked her up and gave her a kiss. She had only just learnt to run and thought it was now the only way to travel.

"I missed you too." he chuckled.

"I swear you grow everytime I see you." I said hugging him

"You ever thought you shrink?" he asked making me chuckle.

"Boy. Come and wash up." I said.

He went to the bathroom to wash his hands and I put Bella back in her seat. Dave walked over and gave me a kiss. I pulled him further into the kitchen so we could talk.'

"Is he okay?" I asked lowly.

"We'll talk later." he said and I nodded in response.

I finished plating up dinner, we all sat down. We had a catch up with Cameron before he went upstairs to shower. Travelling has kicked his ass. Dave cleared up while I went to get Bella ready for bed.

I cut off the water and patted my face dry before putting on my moisturiser. The bathroom door opened and Dave walked in. He hugged me from behind and got as close as possible. Dave always questions how Bella is so clingy, clearly she gets it from him.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"She's a mess." he mumbled against my back.

I sighed trying to think of what to do. Cameron didn't realise how much this was effecting him. Chelsea doesn't want help but she most definitely needs it. We've been trying for years to get her into rehab and nothing. She fell into the wrong crowd and got hooked onto drugs.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He hasn't seen her sober in months not even for a day" he said.

"We can talk to him tomorrow if he wants to even talk about it."

I turned around to see him nodding. He gave me a kiss and scoped me up. After wrapping my arms and legs around him he carried me into the bedroom. He laid me back on the bed and before I knew it he had me bent over the bed.

I turned the oven down and grabbed some plates. I'd been cooking and cleaning all day since it was a Sunday and that was my routine. It was just myself and Bella since the boys were out playing basketball.

"You ready to eat stinky girl?" I asked.

I scooped her up and she kissed my cheeks together. "Ma" she said

"Yeah?" I said and she gave me a kiss

"Thank you" I said kissing her cheek

I put her in her seat and started to feed her. One thing about this girl is that she's going to eat. By the time I was done feeding her the boys walked in. I chuckled at Dave panting like a dog and covered in sweat. Cameron strolled in and kicked off his shoes.

"I'm too fucking old." he breathed out.

"I been told you." Cam said before going upstairs.

"He beat you?" I asked.

"Four times." he said holding on to the wall.

"Dada." Bella said reaching her arms out.

"No daddy's stinky." I said and he mugged me.

They both went to take showers, I ate my dinner before taking Bella into the living room with me. She was busy playing with toys while I caught up on some tv.

I loaded the dishwasher, I looked over and Cameron was finished eating.

"Cam can you bring your plate please?"

He nodded and grabbed his plate and glass before walking over.
"You miss round here?" I asked.

"Yeah like crazy." he sighed sitting down.

"You know the offer still stands Cam?" I asked and he nodded his head.

Myself and Dave offered for him to come and live with us. But he was sure that he wanted to stay behind to look after his mom. I'd told him too many times that it wasn't his job to look after her.

"I don't wanna leave her." he mumbled.

"Cam when are you gonna put yourself first?" I asked and he stayed quiet.

"You want me to take her up with me?" he asked, I sighed and nodded my head.

Cameron took Bella upstairs leaving me with my thoughts. Dave walked downstairs and sat by me. He noticed the look on my face I guess because he asked me if I was okay right away.

"Just worried about Cameron" I said.

"He's gonna be good regardless" he said rubbing my thigh.

I sighed and rested my head on him. Today must if tired me out because we talked a little more and I was out like a light before I knew it
