It was already Friday afternoon. I had just gotten home from Ryder's. We had dropped off Rosie at her house with Sammi and Ryder was now dropping us off.

Izzy was dancing around in a tinkerbell tutu and leggings with a blue t-shirt on.

"Think of all the joy you'll find when you leave the world behind and bid your cares goodbye!!" she sing-songs.

"Izzy where did you get that from?!" I ask worriedly as Ryder watches with a troubled frown.

"Peter Pan!" she smiles and shakes her head, "You worry too much Rory."

I frown, "What do you mean?"

"Mommy told me you refuse to go away for school because you don't wanna leave me with a baby sitter."

I sigh, "You'd have no human interaction if both me and Carter went away."

She bites her lip, "You wanna be a teacher right Rory?"

I smile and tap her house, "Yes and hopefull one day I will be so I can teach adorable kids like you."

She grins and says, "I want you to go. I want you to teach other kids and make them happy as happy as I am!"

I shake my head, "I'm not leaving. You can't convince me to leave sweetie."

She looks at Ryder and grins sweetly, "Can you convince her to leave?"

He sighs and looks at her sadly, "I think your sister is trying to be good to you. I don't think I can change her mind about not leaving."

Izzy frowns, 'Where are you going to college? What about Rosie and Sammi? What about Rory being your," she pauses and leans in to whisper (quite loudly), "Your girlfriend?"

I bite my lip and say, "Ryder doesn't take care of Rosie and Sammi all the time. His mommy and daddy are home a lot."

She nods, "Yeah, but your daddy is always there for you isn't he?"

I nod, "He tries to be."

She smiles innocently, "Why don't you live with your daddy?"

"He has Abigail and Carter and I like spending time here with you. That's why I'm staying. Mom is always on business trips honey."

Izzy nods, "I know she and daddy wanna move to New York! They said we'd live in The Apple!" she gasps, "I wasn't suppose to tell you it's 'pose to be a surprise."

"That's the Big Apple and Izzy they won't move. They don't want to take you away from your friends and family."

She shakes her head, "No silly that's where mommy is! She's looking for a house."

I shake my head in disbelief, "No Izzy they wouldn't not tell me about that."

She nods, "Daddy wanted to keep it a secret so you'd go to school away from home."

I gulp, "When did you find this out Izzy?"

She tilts her head, "The day we all spent the night at your daddies house and Ryder stayed with us."

I gulp, "Honey that was a long time ago."

She nods, "Yeah but Rory if you move with us and come visit your daddy can you bring me to see Rosie? I don't wanna stay with my daddy and mommy all the time."

I nod, "Of course sweetie."

I meet Ryder's gaze and worry fills his eyes. It's then I hear my mom, "Oh good you're home."
