We've been home for two weeks now and after a week of being back, I got Lily to start dance and gymnastics. She is loving dance, but us a bit a care of gymnastics. She's only four, but she needs to get used to it.
"Lily, come on, time for gymnastics. Your working on back flips and ariel's today." I say.
"What if I get hurt?" Lily asks.
"You won't. I promise." I say.
We get into the car and it only takes 10 minutes to get to the place where she will be doing her classes. Sophie and Charlie are at home with Nathan since it's Saturday. I go inside with Lily and then get her changed. After that, I take her in and then I stand at the side.
"Well done Lily. Now you have perfected an cleaned your cartwheel, try and do it with no hands." The teacher says.
Lily attempts and ariel, but fails and lands on her side. I take a few steps forward, but Lily jumps up and tries again. After a few more tryies, Lily can do an ariel and she is now onto her back flips.
"Mummy! I did it! Did you see!" Lily says.
"Yes. I took a picture. Shall I send it to daddy?" I ask.
"Yeah!" Lily says.
Lily does more back flips into rhe foam pit and at the end of the one hour session, Lily follows me into the changing rooms and then I help her put her normal clothes on. Now we are in the car and driving home.
"Did you have fun?" I ask.
"Yeah. When is it gymnastics again?" Lily asks.
"In 2 days." I say.
"Ok. When do I have dance?" Lily asks.
"Tomorrow." I say.
There's a pause, then I speak up again.
"I'm going to drop you home and then I'm going to the recording studio. Make sure you're a good girl for daddy and play nicely with your brother and sister." I say.
"I will mummy." Lily says.
I drop Lily home and then drive 15 minutes to the studio. When I get there, I find my friend Cacey and we get to work.
"So what lyrics have you got so far?" Cacey asks.
"Can you hear me? Do you feel me? I want to be with you everyday. Do you want this? Will it happen? You shared with me a kiss. And the truth can't ever be told. But I don't wanna hide. Everythings better when I'm alone. I don't know why I'm never at home. But you force me to stay. I don't wanna be this way. Yeah you can be so amazing. But I do not want that diamond ring. I don't wanna love you. But I gotta love you." I say.
"I like it. The tune suits your voice. What about these piano chords and maybe change some to violin?" Cacey asks.
After a few hours, I have composed the music for my first song. I come to the studio every other day, so my time is distributed between family and the studio evenly. I go straight home and Nathan has two if his friends over.
"Is this the wifey Nathan?" One of them syas as they scan my body.
I roll my eyes in disgust and go upstairs to check in the kids. They are playing together and when I go back downstairs, I go into the kitchen and the other friend comes in.
"I've been thinking about you all day." He says.
"NATHAN!" I scream.
Nathan comes in and he starts laughing.
"How can you even think this is funny?" I exclaim.
"He's joking around Harper." Nathan says.
"Garden now!" I say.
I storm away and as I leave the room, I hear them all laughing.
"What is wrong with you Harper?" Nathan asks.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?" I say.
"They are just joking. They've always been like that." Nathan says.
"What? So they've always been sick and per eye people who try to hit on theor best mates wife?" I ask.
"Harper calm down!" Nathan says.
"No. I won't calm down until they are out the house!" I say.
There is a bit of silence.
"And you can go with them!" I scream.
I go back inside and the go upstairs to find the guy that scanned my body watching my children.
"Get away from that door right now." I say as calmly as possible.
"I'm just looking at the kids? Is that such a crime?" He asks.
"You are going to leave right now with that mate of yours. You are not going to come back and if I see you in this house again, I will personally send you back to where you came from piece by piece! Starting with these!" I say as I knew him in the balls.
He leaves with the other gut and now it's just me and Nathan.
"Didn't I ask you to go with them?" I say as I go into the bedroom.
"Harper. I'm sorry ok? I hate fighting with you. I should have said something to them, but I didn't and I feel like a total idiot for not doing so!" Nathan says.
"Whatever. Just leave it." I say.
I go downstairs and start creating a new timetable for when Lily had her stuff and when I have mine. Here's an idea of what it says.

"Harper. There's some big you should know." Nathan says.
"Is now the best time because I'm sort of pissed at you." I say.
"Harper. I've wanted to tell you this for a while, but I didn't know how." Nathan says.
"Tell me what?" I say.
"About 5 weeks ago, someone from my past contacted me." Nathan says.
"What are you talking about? Who contacted you?" I ask as I look up from my paper.
"Harper. Gabriella Peters is alive." Nathan says.
I ignore the rest of what Nathan is saying. I go upstairs and grab the twins. I tell Lily to go downstairs and I take her and the kids over to Dions.
"Harper, is everything ok?" Dion asks.
"Can you watch the kids please, things are about to kick off and I don't want them to see or hear it." I say.
I quickly leave and as I get to my front door, I hit my head on the frame.
