 Lindsey's POV. 

After taking my daughter Lily into my arms, I signalled to Stevie that it's best we discuss whatever the hell she was going on about to Lily, in the privacy of our room. I greet the boys, they all stop for a moment to welcome me back home. I've been out of town due to my current material upload, I've decided to make an album. Now Stevie is beginning to work on an album with Dave Stewart, I cannot say that it's going to be easy the two of us recording, her in the home me outside of the home. But it's good it means that she'll be with Ella 24/7, aside from the 5 tour dates she has planned. I've missed my children so much! I'm glad to see their faces, but I notice one face is missing, and it's one apart from Stevie's that I've been dying to see.

'' Where's my Ella-belle'' my little nickname for our youngest, Stevie helps unpack my bag.

'' In the shower for apparently the second time.''   

'' What do you mean?'' 

She places the small fold of clothing in her hands on the bed, she stands on the opposite side of the bed facing me. '' You're daughter, snuck out at eleven pm to go to a Ginger Baker gig on a school night. I said she's grounded for two weeks, and guess what,she snuck out of the house this morning during my interview to go over to Dom's house. I don't even know how she can sneak out.'' 

I'm shocked, '' Whoa..Ginger Baker was here in LA.'' Stevie rolls her eyes at me and I apologize if I made it sound like I supported our daughter's little escapade.   

I chuckle I've obviously caught her in a bit of a frustrated mood, I go over to her, behind her. I wrap my arms around her waist, how I've missed having her in my arms. I kiss her neck, '' I know honey, I know that you feel that it's your job to keep a tight leash on her. But she's a good kid, they're all good kids.'' I feel her take my hand she kisses it, and places it on her stomach. '' I know Linds, it's just. I don't want her getting any ideas, you've seen the youth nowadays, they're basically doing what you and I did when we joined Fleetwood mac. Getting High, Getting wasted, having sex, partying non-stop.'' 

If I know our baby daughter, I know that she's interested in none of those things. Before I left she said that '' I imagine getting wasted is not as fun as Disneyland'' and she's right, Disneyland is pretty fun...   

She knows our history, she's not a little girl. I've told her some of the stuff we use to get up to and I warned her that it will do you no good, life is far too precious to just give it away to those type of activities. '' Stevie, you know our girl isn't like that. I mean you have to admit we know no other people around her age who will sneak out at the middle of the night to see one of the best drummers in the world from a 1970s rock band. I'm not saying that I agree with her doing it behind your back, but she's very innocent in a way.'' Stevie untangles herself out of our embrace. She sighs heavily and sits down on the bed, I join her. '' I just, I just don't want her to make the same mistakes that I made. Or any of our children for that matter, especially her. Lindsey I worry about her. She, I stopped performing and touring after I gave birth to Lily and Theda and when I was pregnant with Ella I was touring--'' 

'' But you didn't plan to get pregnant, she just popped up out of the blue. Don't beat yourself up Steph. She's not like other kids, and she's definitely not like how you and I were.'' Stevie softly chuckles '' about a hundred thousand years ago'' despite the small smile she gives me, I feel Stevie starting to think about some really deep thoughts she's obviously been having. She's an amazing mother, I do wish she'd stop undermining her abilities. '' Stevie come on what's really the matter?'' 

She looks at me with her innocent ebony eyes, she looks a little tired. Probably had to get up early for her interview this morning, and due to this current album collaboration with Dave Stewart she's still not use to her new 'schedule'. '' Do you think we're neglecting Ella?'' she painfully ask, I instantly want to throw every single reason why we're DAMN good parents, and how we never take advantage of the time we have with our children. '' No! Stevie, no were not, why are you asking me that?''
