Third Person POV:

{I don't remember their ages,
if I have put it... please let me know!}

daniel and julia have been together since they were 19 and now they are 29. him and julia have been each other's rock, and each other's best friend. they've always been loyal, and loving towards each other;
but some things change.

"daniel, can you please change Anthem?" julia asked daniel

"I have to take Deja and Phoenix to the bus"

she looks over at him as she helps deja with her book bag.

"no" he bluntly says.

"no? why not?" julia looked at him confused. daniel rolls his eyes and turns around, going into their shared bedroom; slamming the door.

julia looks down and shakes her head, wondering why he's been doing this for a whole week and it's starting to bring her to tears.

"mommy, are you okay?" phoenix looks up at his mother worriedly.

"y-yeah i'm fine, bub" she smiles, sniffling kissing his head.

she runs over and picks up anthem, trying to change her quickly. anthem is being extremely cranky and wants her father. she's always been a daddy girl, anytime she goes to sleep she needs daniel to sing, anytime daniel leaves she cries, and anytime daniels upset she's upset somehow.

"it's okay baby"

julia finally picks her up and glances at the clock on the wall and it's 8:30. the family was supposed to be at the bus at 8:10.. they missed missed it.

julia walks out and sees deja and phoenix still waiting at the door, all ready to go.

"i'm so sorry, i'll just drive you to school" they smile at her and she packs them all into the car and starts the journey to their school.

the light music playing in the background and anthems occasional babbles, phoenix's fake car noises, and deja singing along to the song.

"mommy, why is daddy being so mean?" phoenix asks julia.

"yeah!" deja agreed with him.

"daddy's not being mean, he's just having a bad week" julia says what she thinks.

the truth is, julia doesn't know why daniels been acting like this; has he fallen out of love with her? does he not want any children with her anymore? he was just being nice to them all last week.

julia drops off the kids at school and makes the drive back home; feeling all the emotions hit her as she catches a glimpse of her wedding ring.

julia pulls into her driveway, sitting in her seat resting her head on the steering wheel. she takes a deep breath ready for what she's about to walk into.
julia gets out of the car, seeing anthem is asleep in her car seat; she takes the whole thing out and brings her into the house; bringing the car seat into deja's room; just so the baby doesn't wake up from any yelling.

julia takes off her shoes and sweatshirt that she had on, walking into her bedroom seeing daniel at his keyboard in the corner of the room.

"bab-daniel" she stuttered out.

julia sits on the bed, immediately latching her hands onto the small blanket that was laid over their bed. she hears daniel sigh.

"why are you being so off this week?" she asked him finally.

there was no answer, just silence. the silence was killing julia; making her want to dash out of the room and dodge all the arguing that was bound to come. she wanted to also just hug her husband, tell him she loves him.

"the kids asked why are you being so mean. wh-" she gets cut off by daniel leaving the bedroom and storming out to the living room. julia runs out to the living room; seeing daniel with his head in his hands and sounds like he's crying.

"daniel wh-" shes cut off again

"I cheated"
