Tasha and Katie slept in Morgan's room. The blue haired girl couldn't sleep as she knew that eventually something was going to happen. It always does. "Go to sleep, blue."

"Katie, I can't sleep." She says getting up and walking to the door. "I'll be downstairs."

Katie watched the blue hair girl go downstairs making her wonder why she couldn't sleep. Was it because she was in a different house or... realizing why. Katie ran out of the room after her. "Tasha."

"Katie, be quiet."

"Sorry." She says as she followed her downstairs. "Are you not comfortable?"

"No one else has cared for me besides you and Shawn. Chet leaving shouldn't have left me here too." She says not knowing Shawn was listening. "I don't feel like I belong. I never had a family. Just a wonderful best friend and a loving boyfriend. That's all I ever had."

"But they love all three of us." She says. "Yes, it can be a bit crowded, but they promised to take care of us."

"Yeah. Wait till the talk about us three behind our backs. That's when we leave."

Katie sighed as Tasha walked outside to the porch. She looked to see Shawn who looked worried about Tasha causing her to smile a bit before looking at the door. They wouldn't do that. Would they?

The next morning, Tasha slept in as she was up half of the night. The door opened revealing Shawn who was wanting to spend some alone time with her. He shook Tasha. "Hey, what's wrong? And why didn't anyone wake me up for school."

"Well, you didn't get much sleep for one, two, Katie has a date, but I think we should go. I want some alone time with you."

Tasha raised up and hugged him. Shawn picked her up and carried her out of the house causing her to laugh. She didn't know where they were going, but they were going to have fun.

That night, Tasha was cuddled up to Shawn as Johnathon found them. "Katie told me I would find you two here. Said you two probably fell asleep at Tasha's. Where's your parents?"

"Out of town still." Tasha lied.

"Tasha, is there something you should tell me?" She shook her head no. "Well, you two are staying with me." He tells them. "Since living with the Matthew's isn't working out, I told them that I will take you three in."

They nodded causing them to get off the couch that they fell asleep on. Tasha looked at Shawn as he smiled. "We still get to be together."

"He knows we're lying, Shawn. Mr. Turner is very smart and observant."

Shawn kissed her head. "Maybe he is the parent you need." He says. "For now, we will talk about this in private and enjoy living together."
