"Hello there my princess!" I scooped up Audrey as she ran towards me.

"She was a delight!" Liz grinned at her.

"I'm glad that her first sleepover went well." I rubbed my baby girls back.

"Mommy, I missed you." Audrey wrapped her hands around my neck.

"I missed you too!" I kissed her cheek.

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Uncle Ben and Uncle Jack taught me how to do this!" She crossed her eyes.

"You're so silly!" I giggled.

"Thank you so much!" I hugged Liz.

"Anytime!" she kissed Audrey's cheek.

"I'll see you around. I need to go to work and put in my notice soon." I grabbed Audrey's over night bag.

"I'm still not happy about that, ma'am." she tisked at me.

"Mother to mother, don't you want to give your child everything in the world? I was hesitant too, but Luke made me realise that by doing this, we will expose her to a lifestyle that most people don't get." I explain.

"And as a mother, don't you want to support Luke's dream? It's the mastery of both worlds, fans and family." I gave her a small smile before leaving.

On the car ride home, Audrey talked a lot about her night with the Hemmings. Her uncles will be getting a talking too for teaching her the words 'doo doo head' and 'stupid'.

"Daddy,daddy,daddy!" Audrey ran inside and looked for Luke.

"How about nanny, nanny, nanny?!"Katie picked her up.

"Nanny!" Audrey hugged her tightly.

"I missed you, my little bug!" Katie kissed her little cheek.

"Katie bug, move out the way before I squish you!" Luke kissed Audrey

"Were your uncles nice?" he asked.

"They are stupid doo doo heads!" Audrey giggled.

"They're dead!" Luke stormed towards the door.

"Oh no you don't." I moved my body to be in the way.

"We will have a chat with them later. When will the boys be coming over by the way?" I asked.

"I don't know, those idiots are always late." he rolled his eyes.

"Oh! You said a bad word!" I smirked at him.

"Your dads going in time out." I pull his hand to the piano.

"I have something for you. It popped into my head while we were in the car and I was done talking to your mom about this whole moving thing." I pull him over to sit with me.

"Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire." I see in Luke's eyes that he realises what song it is.

"They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully" Luke decided to join me in singing.

"Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you" Katie came in without us knowing and belted out the lyrics.

"And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully" Luke kissed my forehead.

"Whooa, oh-oh-ooh
Whooa, oh-oh-ooh, oh
Whooa, oh-oh-oh, oh-whoooooa-oh
Faithfully
I'm still yours" I sang as Audrey climbed in Luke's lap.

"I'm forever yours
Ever yours" I smiled at the picture in front of me.

My best friend leaning on the piano.The love of my life sitting next beside me. And our beautiful daughter smiling.

"Faithfully?" Audrey asked as she looked between Luke and I.

"Yes,baby. Faithfully." Luke pecked the top of her head.
