"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

Skylar's POV

Waking up is always the hardest thing to do for me, especially when James and Ashton decided to have a screaming match three times during the night. Ross would take one and I would take the other, but when they wanted milk- that was a little difficult.

I stretch and see no Ross, I turn my head and see it's 8.43. I yawn and look around our room, nice and clean just how we like it. The peacefulness of the house is enough to make me go back to sleep but it's a Friday morning so, school for Riley. Taking a quick shower and putting on some dark jeans with red of the shoulder jumper, putting my hair into a messy bun and applying a little make-up I race into Riley's room. No Riley, for some reason I getting much more used to the idea. She must be downstairs. Making her bed and doing a quick tidy up of her room I walk into the boys room and see the boys cooing to the carasel that was turning slowly above there cots.

"hey babies" I cooed I watched Ashton start kicking happily and James, tried to move his head and started to make many noises. "Come on, come on my little boys" I kissed there heads and one by one I fed them, dressed them and brought them downstairs. "GGGGGGGGGHHHHHHAAAAAA" Ashton screamed with an open mouth type smile. "Yes I know. Mommy knows you like sitting in the car seat" I kissed his head. "we are going to drop your big sister off " buckling the boys up. I put them in front of the TV. I looked downstairs and I couldn't find Riley. She hasn't spoken to me after she went to bed. Ross managed to try and calm her down and he lied down with her until she fell asleep.

I really didn't mean to make her feel like that, that was the last thing I wanted. When she said she hated me, I really felt all the air knock out me, was I really that bad of a mother that my own daughter hates me. I am not acknowledging her, she feels like no one cares. My baby girl. I will make it up to her.

"Riley?" I called whilst looking in the kitchen. A white piece of paper caught my eyes, pivoting to the island I walked a read the note.

Dear Sky,

Morning my butterfly, sorry I couldn't I be there when you awoke but I got a set call at half 7,

Riley was awake and she said she wanted me to take her to school so I did,

so go back to bed. I know your tired. Don't worry about Ri, she's fine and in school at the moment.

I love you So much.

My love Always

Your husband

Okay? I looked at the time and it read 9.54, we her bell goes at 9 so we would have been so late. I sighed and check on the boys, they where gurgling at the TV when sponge bob came on. I took James out carefully out of the car seat and put him in his play pin. I turned to Ashton and started to unbuckle him out of the car seat but as soon as he was in my arms he started to cry. "ssshhh baby," I cooed at him. "wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaa" he cried loudly. "why can't you be like your brother?" I ask as I put him back in his car seat and rocked him back to sleep.

"aaaaagggeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy" James laughs out as the fountains of trees cover the cover on the way to Riley's pick up. I paused my blue BMW and took the boys out of the car, I put them in one pushchair where the boys where clicked side by side with each other, making many noises as they took in the blue sky. Ashton was asleep and James was just starring everywhere.
