{Ashley's POV}

I woke up to Kroh pulling at my arm. She had a hard tug, for a four year old.

"Mommy! Wake up! You've been asleep for so long!" She moaned. I got up, straightening out MY hair, and coming to notice hers. It was a rats nest. Well, what do you expect? It's long, curly hair. It dangled to her thigh. Well, it would've, but it's all poofed up because of her bed head.

"Okay, I'm coming, ya little stinker." I said, giving her a noogie(Authors Note: Who knows how to spell it.) She gave me a grumpy face. I just got up and walked into the kitchen with her. Marshall, Kroh, and I all lived in a small little cottage, to get away from Marshall's crazy mother. Its sad really, she used to be a totally sane and loving mother.

"What's for breakfast?" She asked, rolling around on her little rolling stool.

"Uh, cherries?" I asked, holding a bag of cherries. She shook her head. Glob. She's so picky. Eh, I guess it's my fault. I do spoil her.

"How bout strawberries with cream?" She asked, with a smile on her face. Oh glob. She's had the same thing for five days, now.

"Fiiine." I whined. She jumped up and down, clapping her hands. Hah, so cute.

"Ugh, what's all the noise?" Marshall moaned, scratching the back of his head, seeming to be half-asleep, still.

"That." I pointed to Kroh, who was chomping down a strawberry. He smirked.

"How's my little girl?" He asked, stretching out his arms.

"Daddy!" Kroh yelled, running and jumping at him.

{Marshall's POV}

Kroh ran up and jumped into my arms. Cute, she still isn't big enough to float, yet. Oh well. She'll get there. Ashley smiled at us. I hate Ashley. I love Ashley. I hate her. I love her. Hate her. Love her. Hate. Love. AGH! Whatever. Girls are confusing. I couldn't love the woman who made me a widower. But I can't hate the woman who made me a father.

"Daddy, do you and mommy love each other?" Kroh asked, innocently. Me and Ashley instantly glared at each other. Oh shi-crap. I mean crap. Glob, Marshall. Gotta work on it, for Kroh. Ashley came over and picked up Kroh from me.

"Sweety, I'll tell you when you're older. Okay?" Ashley said.

"Whaaat? I wanna know! It's just one simple question!" She yelled. Ashley smirked at me.

"Ya, Marshall. One simple question." Ashley glared at me, same with Kroh. Oh glob. Girls.

"Kroh, honey. I used to. But sometimes, when you're a grown up you get mad at other grown ups for being mean. And I'm mad at mommy for being mean. Get it?" I explained. Kroh looked at me, oddly.

"What did mommy do? And can't you just forgive? That's what you and mommy said is best. Forgiving is the best." Kroh said. Ashley snorted.

"Forgiving IS the best." Ashley snickered. Ugh. Just like her annoying teenage self.

"Look, Kroh. Sometimes, it's hard to forgive. Okay? Sometimes, grown ups need TIME TO FORGIVE." I emphasized time to forgive to Ashley. She just looked at me weird. Kroh just sighed.

"Well, what did mommy do, in the first place? And does it have to be so bad, you STILL don't forgive her?" Kroh asked. Glob, why are vampires so smart?

"Best to talk about it later." Ashley butted in. I nodded and Kroh just let out a huge sigh.

"Okayyy." She said. Phew, glad that was well and over. Kroh had tiredness in her eyes. I could see it.

"Hey Kroh. Want to watch a movie?" I asked. Knowing she'd fall asleep to it. She jumped up.

"YEAH!" She exclaimed. I smiled. I got her blankets and popcorn. And slid the disc in. There we go. I left her alone for 5 minutes. And when I came back, she had dozed off. I smiled.

"Precious, huh?" Ashley said, sneaking behind me. I calmed down, knowing it was just her.

"Ya." I agreed. There was an awkward silence.

"Come with me, Marshall." Ashley took hold of my hand and lead me to her bedroom. Yes, we had seperate bedrooms. She then, pinned me to the wall. "Now that she's asleep." She began. Uh-oh.
