Before we begin, there are three parts to this story. This story is going to be in three part. Part one is when the children are still young, before the first time jump (the big jump); part two is pre event with Aria and part two is post event with Aria if you get me.

So there are three prologues for the story. The first prologue will relate to 1|chapter name, for instance, 1|04 and then the next prologue will be called 2|10 and so forth and so forth for the last one. Do you get me? Hopefully you do, and this is the prologue for the first quarter of this story, which consists of nine chapters.

Prologue for part 1:

Everyone has a life to live, some that are mapped out and some that aren't. With Lacey's and Toby's life, that wasn't mapped out. Now both of them have a new found responsibility that anyone would find difficult and that is to look after their twins, juggle work and still try and get an university degree along the way.

With responsibility, comes pressure and when pressure is involved, comes fights. Can Lacey and Toby do it together or will it all come crumbling down?

Now let's just add a little tiny camera to the mix and will everything go sour?

Chapter 00: Ready, Set, Drive!

(~Lacey's Point Of View~)

Staring into the empty space between the kitchen fridge and the counter, I re-think whether or not I should do this or not. Re-think for the tenth time today whether or not I should continue. To face my fears or to hide away.

I have asked my friends and my family whether or not I should re-start this up again, they all think that I should re-start this up again and continue to fight my newly found fear.

The fear of driving, yes I am scared of driving since the accident. Since then, I haven't returned my driving instructors phone calls, text messages regarding when I want to continue my driving lessons.

I am scared, scared of hitting someone, scared of hurting me or my twins or even Toby. Scared, one letter word, six caricatures long with no spaces. It has driven me to where I am now, worried to actually go back onto the road. But I know I need to do is soon, but I am too scared.

"Lacey you okay? You are spacing out again?" Toby says, pulling me out of my thoughts, waving a hand in front of my wave.

Turning my head left and right, shaking my head to try and calm my nerves. I finally stop and give Toby a small smile. "Yeah I am, I am just thinking. Thinking of what to do next. I don't know if I can do this. I'm scared." I confess to him as he takes a seat next to me, wrapping a protective arm around my shoulders. Warming me up.

With his free hand, he rakes it through his hair, making it more messy then it already is. "Lacey, I know you won't forgot what happened last time you went into the car. But you have to know that wasn't your fault. It wasn't you, it was the taxi drivers fault. You can't keep blaming yourself." He states, resting his head on my neck.

Fiddling with my fingers, I rub them together and let out of groan. "I know but I am not scared of that. I am scared of hurting someone. Scared of the fear that people's lives will be in danger." I simply reply to him, he tightens his grip on my shoulder and let's out a sigh.

"I know you are scared darling but you need to get out there. You are Lacey, you have passed your GCSE's even though the school thought you were incapable too. You made two beautiful children and is going out with a sexy beast." He adds in, grinning at me.

Letting out a laugh, I turn my head around and this cases Toby's grip to loosen off my shoulders so instead he takes my hand in his.

"One thing, I still didn't pass with the grades you got. Second, the twins were born early due to me and third you ain't a beast. Your too cute for that!" I exclaim to him, letting go of his hand, I give him a slight playful push to the shoulders.
