OWENS POV
I woke up and Amelia was snuggled with Riley. They both looked so scared from last night. I got up and walked downstairs where the back door was still busted. I was going to go try to find a replacement today and fix it. The kids came downstairs and I started making breakfast I finished breakfast and brought them each a plate and then put their lunches on the counter. I was looking at the broken door and all I could think about was Riley.
AMELIAS POV
I woke up to Riley snuggled into my chest. I was laying here with her until she wakes up so she isn't scared. She rolled over and I knew she was starting to wake up.
"Good morning," I said softly and ran my fingers through her hair.
"Good morning mommy," she said. She didn't freak out that Owen wasn't in the room which was a good sign.
"How did you sleep?" I asked.
"Okay," she shrugged. I kissed her head and she nuzzled into me.
"Where's daddy?" She asked.
"Probably downstairs," I said.
"Okay," she said and closed her eyes again to fall back asleep. I chuckled as the bedroom door opened.
"Riley," I whispered.
"Yeah?" She said.
"Daddy's here," I whispered. She opened her eyes and saw Owen and smiled.
"There my girls are," Owen smiled and came over and kissed me.
"Good morning daddy!" Riley smiled.
"Good morning princess," Owen smiled. Riley climbed on top of me to get to Owen. Owen chuckled and picked her up. They were so cute.
"Do you want waffles?" He asked her.
"Yeah," she smiled cutely.
"I'll meet you downstairs okay? I wanna talk to mommy," he said. She nodded and ran downstairs and Owen sat down next to me.
"She's okay," he said.
"Yeah," I said, "maybe she thinks it was a dream."
"No idea," he said, "but she didn't have any nightmares."
"I know," I said.
"It's a miracle," he said.
"It is," I said and kissed his lips softly.
"Mm," he smiled and started kissing me more.
"You promised Riley waffles," I chuckled.
"Waffles can wait," he said and started kissing my neck.
"The door is open," I chuckled.
"Shower," he whispered in my ear. I got up and ran into the bathroom and Owen closed the bedroom door. He walked in and grabbed my waist and we started passionately making out. I turned the water on and we both got undressed.

The kids were now at school and Owen and I took the day off after last night. We were looking at new doors, door shopping was boring.
"What about that one?" Owen pointed.
"No," I said.
"What's wrong with it?" Owen said.
"It's ugly," I said.
"It's a glass door," Owen chuckled, "cant we just pick one."
"No," I said, "it was to match."
"Match what Amelia it's glass," he laughed.
"Like that door," I said.
"Yeah sure whatever," he said.
"You're not taking this seriously!" I said.
"Amelia it's a door," he said.
"Yes but we have to look at it everyday," I said.
"Pick whichever one your heart desires okay?" He chuckled.
"We were going to anyway," I laughed.

We bought a door and got it installed so everything was good to go. I was laying on the couch watching TV.
"Owen!" I called.
"What?" He said and came down the stairs.
"I'm lonely come cuddle," I pouted. He smiled and wrapped his arms around me. I snuggled into him. I looked up at him and he smiled at me.
"I love you," I said and pecked his lips.
"I love you too," he said and kissed me back.
"Do you think Riley is okay?" I asked.
"I think they're all a little shaken up but she didn't wake up from a nightmare last night so I think she's okay," Owen reassures.
"Yeah," I said, "she didn't have a nightmare that's a good point."
"I know," he said.
"You're so cocky I hate you," I said and hit him with a pillow.
"I hate you too," he joked and his me with another pillow.
"You're annoying," I chuckled.
"I'm annoying? You're the one who was being picky over a glass door," he chuckled.
"They're all different!" I protested.
"It's fucking glass Amelia," he laughed.
"Look at the handle!" I said.
"Okay, and? It's white, just like every other one in the store!" He laughed.
"It's white wood," I said.
"You are unbelievable sometimes," he chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist, "but I love you."
"I love you too," I smiled. He kissed my cheek and we laid there watching TV together for a while. It was so calm, especially after last night, to feel nice and safe within his arms.
OWENS POV
Amelia and I were cuddled on the couch and she eventually fell asleep in my arms. She was so cute. She almost drove me crazy door shopping because she pays attention to the smallest details but she was adorable doing it. I had my arms wrapped around her waist and she had her arms over mine. She was so cute. I looked at the clock and it was only 12, so we had time to nap before the kids started coming home. I nuzzled into her neck and closed my eyes.

I woke up to the front door opening. Amelia started to stir too. I looked over the couch and it was Ava and Liam.
"Were you asleep?" Ava chuckled, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," I chuckled.
"Hi," Amelia said softly.
"Hi," I said and kissed her cheek, "how was school guys?"
"It was good," Ava said.
"Yeah," Liam said.
"Yeah?" Amelia chuckled. They went upstairs and a few minutes later Logan and Olivia came home. I looked at Amelia who was still in my arms and kissed her cheek, god I love her so much.
