It was 10pm and Addy was getting ready for bed. No surprise to anyone in the house their mother hadn't made an appearance which happens more often than not.
Stacie walked into Addy room and admired the paintings on the wall. How Addy was that talented she will never know but it was one of the best things Stacie had ever seen.
"Come on squirt, bed." Stacie said folding back the cover on Addy's bed and then sitting on the end of the bed.
"I'm not 5 anymore, I can get ready for bed on my own." Addy exclaimed getting into bed.
"I know bug, just wanted to make sure you enjoyed your first day of school?"
"It's school. What am I suppose to say?" Addy said with a laugh.
"I guess your right just you know you can talk to me about anything, right? Or you can talk to Em, or even moody Beca?" Stacie said nudging Addy who responded with a nod and a giggle.
"Alright then, lights out bug! Love you!" Stacie said going to turn off the light when Addy interrupt.
"Are you still mad at Beca?" Addy asked timidly.
"No, it's okay. We just fight sometimes, we all do. It's just... nothing don't worry. We are going to be okay!" Stacie replied.
"Okay. Love you." Addy said lying down and going to sleep.

Stacie reached her hand up and knocked on Beca's door.
"Go away!" Beca shouted through the door only to be ignored as Stacie walked straight in.
"Hey." Stacie walked in and sat down on the stair in the corner facing Beca. Beca turned back to face her mixing board and put her headphones back on seeing that it was Stacie.
"Can we talk?" Stacie asked knowing full well that Beca could hear her.
"You are." Beca replied sarcastically not turning around.
"Beca!"
"Fine. If you've come in here to tuck me into bed like i'm 3 you don't need to. I'm good. And you don't have to do that to Addy either. She's old enough to go to bed when she wants." Beca took her headphones off and put them around her neck.
"Beca, please. I was overacting earlier. We just can't get in trouble as much, okay."
"Why?"
"Just I don't want Addy getting hurt."
"She won't. Not at school. She has us, if anyone ever try's to hurt. We will stop it. Right?" Beca says looking Stacie straight in the eyes.
"Yeah..." Stacie said getting up.
"Go get sleep Stace. We argue with each other because that's just us. Sleep. Your tired." Beca said turning around and going back to her music.
"Night Becs!"
"Night Stace!" Stacie left closing the door behind her and going to bed.
