Blown Apart

Beca POV

I rolled over in bed and looked into my wife's sleeping face for like the first time in my life I was up before Chloe. She looked so peaceful. A faint knocking came from the door and I sat up and looked to the bedside clock to see it was 5am, wow it was early for me. The door slowly creaked open to reveal my youngest daughter, Bronte stood at the door.

"Hey monkey" I whispered.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up, it's that Mama normally comes on a run with me in the morning and its time to go." Bronte whispers, I am never awake for this but normally Chloe would be awake for this but after last night, we had she needs some extra sleep.

"Can you skip today for once please, Chloe needs some rest if that's okay!" I whispered back as Bronte's face fell.

"But..."she started.

"Monkey, please!" She nodded and left the room. I know that was hard on Bronte as she likes to keep to a routine. Bronte was are youngest daughter, she had just started high school a few months ago. Bronte was are little athlete. Our track star, she was the youngest person to make the track team, the whole rest of the team were either seniors or Juniors. Which made us even more proud of her. Bronte's whole life revolved around running. She already had scouts looking at her. She was training constantly and she had a natural talent. The Saturday just gone she had won six medals and trophies for 800m, 400m, 200m, the 100m sprint, relay ( where she ran 4th) and overall best performance of the day. And yet, she always trys to better herself.

"Was that Bronte?" Chloe mumbled beside me turning round to look at me, I nodded at her in response.

"I need to go get ready with her to go running." Chloe began getting up and I grabbed her arm.

"I told her to stay in today, its not gonna kill her." I said pulling her towards me and wrapping my arms around her. Chloe and I are both teachers at a local middle schools. I would never believe I would be a teacher when I was in College, I never even wanted to go to college. But surprisingly I found a love in teaching children music, and I am quite good at it. Chloe teaches drama and dance and loves it and is loved by many students. With both me and Chloe being teachers the income isn't very large and having four teenagers, money is always tight but we were happy with what we have. They lived in a 2 bedroom house with a basement and attic which has been converted into two bedrooms. Our eldest son Colby, lived in the other bedroom down the hall from us as he was first born that has always been his room. The twins, Cece (Cecilia) and Brynlee lived in the basement as they were next and the bedroom was biggest as it had enough room for two of them. And when we had Bronte we offered the attic to Colby but he didn't want to move so now that is where Bronte hides to make our little house work.

"I love you Chloe." I told her as I moved my hand up and down Chloe's body.

"I love you too Beca." Chloe's soft lips touch mine and she places a small kiss on my lips and got up.

"Hey, that's not fair!" I whined.

"Come on, I need to get ready to take Bronte to Practice and everyone ready for school including you!" I whined at her statement and got up and began to get dressed.
