(Ashley's P.O.V)

I woke up the next morning and it was still raining. I glanced at the clock and read 8:50AM. I looked to my right and saw Josephine cuddled up in her blankets still sleeping, the dogs at her feet, both awake. I quietly got out of bed and grabbed a towel, boxers, grey sweatpants and a black tank top. I then walked to the door and whispered.

" Come on boys." They then hopped off the bed an walked out the room. I shut the door and walked into the bathroom. I used the bathroom and then stripped from my clothes, turning on the shower and stepping in. I relax as I felt the warm water

trickle down my body. I washed my hair and my body and got out, quickly drying my hair, body and getting dressed. I brushed my teeth, took my stuff and quietly walked back to my room. I opened the door and saw Josephine starting to wake up. I put my stuff in the hamper and sit next her, stroking her hair. She yawned and pulled the blankets off herself and rubbing her eyes. She then sat up and smiled at me.

" Hi dad!"

" Hello baby." I said giving her a kiss on the check.

" I have to pee." She said. I chucked.

" So then go. And brush your teeth." I helped her out my bed and she walked out of the room and into the bathroom. I stood up and folded her blanket and put it on top of my dresser and quickly made my bed. I then took Josephine's blanket and walked out of my room and into hers, placing it on her bed before waking out and in front of the bathroom door lightly knocking.

" Josephine, I'm going to make breakfast so I'll be downstairs. Make sure you brush your teeth and hair."

" Okay." Is all I heard from the other side of the door besides the toilet flushing. I then walked downstairs and into the kitchen where my two dogs already were, sitting by there food bowls.

" You guys hungry?" I asked them as I opened the cabinet next to the oven and pulled out there food, pouring it into there bowls and refilling there water. I put there food away and washed my hands. I then gathered bread, cinnamon, eggs, a bowl, a fork, a frying pan, butter and a spatula from all over the kitchen and set everything on the counter. I cracked the eggs into a bowl and poured some cinnamon into it, beating it together before dipping slices of bread into the egg, coating each side and then placing it into another bowl. When that was done I put the egg bowl and fork into the sink and put the frying pan on the stove top and put the flame on medium so it can heat up a little before putting butter on it. I washed dishes in the mean time, also making coffee. I looked around the kitchen and saw that Josephine was not downstairs yet. I lowered the flame on the stove and put butter in it to let it melt before walking into the living room, looking around but seeing no Josephine. I stood in front of the stairs, looking at the top.

" Josephine! You okay?" I yelled. Killer and Tokyo then ran up the stairs. There was still no noise. I then walked up the stairs and looked into the bathroom, not there. I looked in her room, not there. I then walked into my room and saw her sitting on my bed, back facing me, and talking into my phone. I slowly and quietly walked in, listening to her.

" No. I love daddy. But-" I was now behind her and grabbed the phone out if her hand, she jumped, startled.

" What did I tell you about using my phone with my permission Josephine? Who is this?" I asked putting the phone to my ear.

" Hello Ashley. This is Jenny. Just called to remind you about court. It's coming up pretty soon. But I was surprised by my little angel." She said smugly. I frowned.

" Josephine wait downstairs." I told her. She quickly walked passed me and out of the room.

" I don't need to be reminded of court Jenny. And how did you get my number?"
