Kathrine's POV

It's been a month since Micheal and Ocean moved away and things have become much more routine and peacefull in our home since they left. We no longer have two hyper children running around causing chaos or a baby waking the whole house at night. It sounds nice, but it doesn't feel like that for us. Especially for me. It feels empty without them. They call me on Skype every morning before the children go to day care and every evening before they go to bed and even though they all seem so happy, I still can't help but worry about them.

I'm in my bedroom getting ready for the day and I turn and see the time and quickly hurry downstairs.

"Have they..."

"They've not called yet" Randy cuts me off. "They still haven't called?"

"Relax. They'll call when they call" he shrugs, putting on his coat. "Where are you going?"

"Work" he shrugs "but they haven't called yet. Why don't you want to speak to your brother?" I frown. "I do, but I also have work to do" he says walking over and kisses my cheek. "If they call tell them I said hi" he smiles and leaves for work.

"Wait! What do you mean if they..."

"Will you just relax? They'll call when they call" Joesph chuckles slightly. "But it's 7:35. They usually call at 7:30. Something must have happened or..."

"Or...they could just be getting DJ and Veah ready for day care. Just relax. All this stressing yourself out isn't good for you"

"How can I relax? Do you know how far Miami is from here? If something happens or they need us for anything, they can't exactly just take a cab over. I still think we should consider about.. "

"We're not moving to Miami" he cuts me off. "But..."

"But nothing. Their doing just fine. They call you every day and talk to you on Skype and you can see for yourself their all doing well, all by themselves. They don't need us following them"

"I know" I sigh knowing he's right. "It just feels so strange not having them around anymore and I hate that I won't be there to she my grandchildren grow up" I confess. "I miss them all too and I know it's hard to let go and I admit I worry about too, but this move was the best thing for them and it's not like we're never going to see them again. We'll be going to visit them soon for DJs birthday and..."

"Sshh... it's them" I cut him off, quickly rushing over to Randy's iPad and answer the Skype call and smile when I see all their happy little faces on the screen.

Ocean's POV

"Mother. I promise you everything's fine. We were just finishing breakfast" Micheal chuckles. "Well you know how much I worry when you don't call"

"Kathrine, we'd never not call you, you know that" I smile "grandma! Look what I made" DJ smiles, proudly holding up his painting to the camera. "That's beautiful! You did that yourself?" She smiles. "Veah and Princess helped too. See?" DJ says pointing at the little pink and yellow handprints the girls did.

"We made it for you and daddy said he'll post it"

"You did!? I can't wait to get it so I can put it up and the fridge" she smiles.

"Oh shoot! Mother we're gonna have to go" Micheal says looking at the time. "Why? Is something wrong?" She asked nervously. "No. We just have to get DJ and Veah to day care soon"

"Ok. Call me back tonight. Don't forget"

"We won't. We never do" I giggle slightly.

We always call Kathrine twice a day. Once before we take the kids to day care and again just before they go to bed, but even though she knows everything's ok and we'd call if there was a problem. We still call her every day anyway because it helps her feel more relaxed so she isn't worrying too much, which like most mothers (me including) she does alot when it comes to her babies.
