*___________________________________________*_______________________________*

Lucy chased after Josh and everyone crowded the doorway staying out of their way.  Josh ran by yelling and taunting Lucy who wasn’t far behind him.  He rounded the corner into the kitchen and Lucy jumped and caught his back leg.  Everyone laughed as Josh realized he had been caught and began to curse.  “What’s wrong Josh? Upset you have to cater to a mom of 4 for the next 2 weeks?”

“I hate this”

“Really cause I’m loving it.  Next time don’t hit me with a water balloon in my own home.”  She hopped off of Josh and walked over to me and cuddled into my side. “Hi love”

“Hello there Beautiful, Can I buy you a drink?”

“Sorry I have a husband and four kids”

“Well he certainly is a lucky fellow”

“Yes you are” She said leaning upward and kissing me quickly.

“Ew get a room” Josh complained.

“You’re just jealous my friend”

“Extremely.”  Everyone started laughing again, waking up Tino.

“Hey guys what I miss”

“Not much Tino go back to bed” He nods and falls back asleep.  Sunday starts giggling like crazy.

“Oh you think it’s funny to mess with your uncles?” Jack smirked.

“Yes I do”

“Good, never stop it’s too funny”

“You guys encourage her to do so much but you can’t get mad at her if she does it to you”

“Valid point LuBear but she would never do anything to her favorite Uncle Jack”

“Ok whatever you say.”  We migrated to the kitchen and sat at the table playing card games while Sunday started to fall asleep in my lap.  I picked her up and walked back to her room. I placed her in bed and closed the door.  Checking on the boys to make sure they were asleep then quietly start to head downstairs. I get down the first three steps and then hear Lucy talking to the guys.  I catch a couple of the words Alex is saying and I sit on the steps.

“LuBear how much do you and Sunday miss Zack when he’s gone?”

“Well It’s hard on Sunday since she’s old enough to realize Zack is gone, and don’t tell Zack but we both steal his shirts when he’s gone and sleep in them since it smells like him, and I spray his cologne every so often or if I’m not leaving the house I use his body wash and Sunday always tells me I smell like Daddy.  But I don’t have the time to miss him because I’m always chasing the kids around and making sure they are ok and Sunday is distracted so she doesn’t ask about Zack every ten minutes.  But I do miss him like crazy when I get into bed at night.  I fall asleep listening to random conversations I record at times just so I can hear his voice, and yes before you ask I do have an recording of Zack snoring so I can sleep, I can’t sleep without it”

“LuBear I’m sorry it’s so hard”

“Don’t apologize I’d rather have the love of my life for 65 days a year than none”

“You know being on tour you forget that those you love are at home, you’re so busy that you forget everything, but Zack never can forget you all.  He looks to the side wings every so often as if expecting you to be standing there, It’s even harder when Cass or Morgan come to visit. You have a couple hours with you girl and then Zack starts to ask questions about all of you and when he’s done he retreats to his bunk and hides there during free time the whole rest of the time the girls are there. Have you ever considered coming to visit on tour?”
