~~Harry's POV~~One Week Later~~

This past week has been the best and the worse. The best because Maddie seems to be slowly getting back to herself, the worse because my child has been harassed for a while now and didn't feel the need to tell anyone. Maddie insisted that Ashlyn see a therapist and she agreed. She went last night but I hovered pacing back and forth outside the door as she was in there. "Harold!" I look up as I here Maddie yelling, the kids aren't here they're with Josh and Gemma and London is with Will. Yes against my better judgement I let them go out together. It's the old age getting me, seeing as how I turned 41 today.

"In here love." I chirp from my chair as I sift through all this paperwork. She pushes the door open walking in with her laptop in tote. She's seems happy, and loves the fact that the children will be taught at home from now on. They each have their own teacher who comes four days a week.

"Look at this." She sits her laptop in front of me on the desk. I push back pulling her to sit on my lap and she clicks the link. "London has her own YouTube channel." I glance over the webpage with a smile as I read the description.

Hi I'm London and I make music, you might know my Dad and my Uncles from your mum's talking about them! Haha my dad would go red in the face if he seen this but oh well. I like to write music I guess I get that from both my mum and dad. I read all your comments and I'll put it out there now. Many have asked why I haven't went to my parents for a record deal. Well I want to do it on my own and with this channel, people will see that I deserve it and mum and dad didn't just hand it to me. I love all my dads music, he's a genius as you all might already know. I would never admit that to him, because I like to give him a hard time and I do often. So if you like what you see and hear Subscribe and Like my videos!

I chuckle reading this and Maddie shakes her head. "No Harry it gets better." She clicks something and a video comes up.

"Harry listen to our son, hell we knew London could sing." Maddie looks up at me as I sit here shocked. Hell I didn't even know he could play an instrument and here he is playing a guitar. "Not only that London stole my lyrics." I just look at her.

"What do you mean stole your lyrics?"

"As in this song I wrote and it was in my notebook." I raise my brows, no one touches Maddie's notebooks those lyrics are just that. Unreleased lyrics and most I haven't even see before. "There's more, but I'm not pissed." I chuckle because she's confusing.

"Ok explain why?" She turns in my lap facing me.

"Because they wrote the music to the songs, they made my lyrics into their own, both of them." This makes me proud, and I can tell she is too. We look back as we hear the door slam, Maddie clears the screen of the laptop. "Don't breath a word of this." She warns with a smile and I nod.

"Mum!" Greyson's voice sounds through the house and then he roams into the office where we are. "Bloody hell!" He shakes his head turning around. "Aren't you two, to old to be..." He waves his hand towards us and I cant help my laughter. Maddie rolls her eyes climbing up from my lap moving to his side kissing his cheek. "For fuck sakes mum, stop who knows where your mouth has been." My eyes widen and Maddie slaps the back of his head.

"Watch your mouth and to let you know you are never to old." She winks as me and he looks like he might vomit as she walks out. Greyson moves over plopping down in the chair in front of my desk. I watch him as he picks at the hole in his trousers just sitting there. He never does this, before Maddie was sick I would have to beg him to spend any kind of time with me. Now he comes and just randomly sits. It's like I'm watching myself really, you would think he was my twin, everything about him is me. I look back at my paperwork just leaving him be, it's a comfort though to know he's here even if he is silent. I wish Maddie were in here helping me, no one can sign paperwork faster than her.
