"Mommy! Alex won't stop kicking me!" I wake up.

"Daddy I found a frog!" Says Alex.

I sit up and pick up Sarah.

Spots runs into the room and lays on the end of the bed.

"Honey Alex will say sorry. Won't you Alex?" I ask.

"Sorry Sarah." He says. "Daddy!" He says shaking Mark.

"What Alex...." He says with his head under his pillow.

"I found a frog... Look it's... Oops." He says as it jumps onto Mark.

"Ahh!!" He says and jumps up out of bed.

He throws it out the window.

We all laugh at him.

He rubs his eyes. Yawns and looks at Alex. "I'm gonna get you!" He says.

He chases Alex down the hall.

Spots chases after them.

I carry Sarah into the kitchen and set her on the counter.

"Wanna help make pancakes?" I ask.

"Yes mommy." She says and smiles.

We make pancakes and dress the kids.

"Let's take a walk to the park." I say.

"Ok everyone get your shoes on!" Says Mark. 

I put Spots in his leash. We walk to the park.

There Alex and Sarah play on the playground and Spots sits by the slide waiting for them to go down.

"Twins are such a handful." I say.

"Yep.... Wow just think we have 5 year old twins and we have another one coming." He says.

"Shh I haven't told them yet!" I say.

"Ok I'll wait." He says.

He smiles and kisses me.

"Ewww!" Say Alex and Sarah.

Spots barks.

We look at them and laugh.

That night I lay in bed thinking of when I was young. I miss it. Being Marks neighbor. Working at Woodland... Oh woodland. I sigh and fall asleep.

"Becca it's time your time to come back." Says Amelia.

"You're in charge now." She says.

I see her for one moment then she disappears.

I cry. A little but Im happy I'm back.

"Mommy..." I hear.

I open my eyes and see Sarah holding her stuffed dog and looking at me.

"What's wrong Sarah?" I ask.

"I had a dream about the woods and it's said I should tell you." I smile.

"That's good dear your just like me when I was little. Wanna lay with me and daddy?" I ask.

She nods her head yes.

I lift her up into my bed and she snuggles up to me.

Spots lays by my feet on the edge of the bed. I sit and think.

I have a great life.

A family, a dog. I laugh. And a loving husband.

And now the woods.

"I love you." I whisper to Mark.

"I love you too Becca." He says and kisses me.

I smile.

Thank you Woodland. Thank you Amelia.

Thank you for...

My dreams of the woods.
