It was late afternoon and Donny still wasn't back. Even after having all day to think Sindy has no idea what will happen once he returns. What are they going to 'talk' about? Are they going to have sex, or is he going to question why she suddenly lost it? Maybe both? Ugh! The frustration makes her want to pull her hair out.

Little feet padding their way across the floor alerts her that Daniella has woken up from her nap.

Rubbing the sleep from her eyes with her tiny fists, her cuteness momentarily distracts Sindy before her words shock her. "Mommy, where's daddy?"

Collecting herself as best she can, Sindy manages to choke out the word "Daddy?"

Still sleepy, Danny crawls into her mother's lap and rests her head upon her shoulder while playing with the strand of hair tickling her nose. "You told granny you named me after my dad. Donny acts like all the other dads and his name sounds like mine. He's my daddy isn't he?"

Looking up to her mother for confirmation on what she thought was obvious, she puts her hand under her chin, pushing it up from its open position.

"How old are you again?" Sindy couldn't believe her 2 year old could figure that out so easily. Then again kids are very perceptive to their surroundings and all the evidence was there. Thinking about it now, it's surprising she didn't figure it out sooner. Anyone can see the similarities the two share.

Suddenly launching from her lap, Daniella bolts for the, now open, front door into Donnys open arms squealing with glee. "Your back!"

Laughing, he stands up with her placed on his hip making his way over to her.

"Put on some shoes while I get her dressed. We're leaving for a couple hours." Dictated Donny as he makes his way to the bedroom.

"Why are we leaving? What happened?" Following him she watched as he helps their daughter into her socks and shoes, putting hers on as well.

"Luke got Aria to come back."

"And that means we are leaving the apartment because?" confused as to his logic, the pieces fall into place when he states the facts over again, with some implications of course.

"They've been apart for a week. He got her to come back. It was a long car ride home. Understand yet?"

"Oh" red faced, Sindy quickly grabs her purse.

Walking out the front door, they secure Daniella in her car seat as Lukes car pulls up.

"Let's get going before the car starts rocking"
