"Mommy!"

Aria yelled as she ran over to me.

"Hey baby girl."

I said, picking her up.

"You excited to come stay with Aaron and I?"

I asked her.

"Yes, Mommy. I don't like staying with Daddy without you."

She said.

"Okay well you can stay with us until we have to go on the road. Then you have to stay with Aunt Sasha and Uncle Sami, okay?"

"Okay."

"Alright, let's go home."

I said, picking up her bags and carrying her to my car.

30 Minutes Later

"Aria, this is Aaron."

I said, introducing them.

"Hi."

Aria said with a smile.

"Hi, Aria. I've heard a lot about you from your Mom. You two look a lot alike."

Aaron said as I laughed.

Later That Night

"Someone passed out pretty quickly."

Aaron said, looking at a sleeping Aria in between us.

"Yeah, must've been a long day for her."

I said with a sigh.

"I'm gonna put her to bed."

I said, picking her up.

"You coming back out here?"

Aaron asked.

"Only if you're staying up."

"I'll stay up for you always."

Aaron said as I smiled. I put Aria in my bed and walked back into the living room.

"So, how you holding up?"

Aaron asked.

"It's Whatever I guess. I'm just surprised Aria wanted to stay with me."

I said.

"Did she say why?"

"She hates Kylie. Kylie must be staying for a while if Aria has to come stay with us to get away from her."

I said with a sigh.

"At least she wants to be with her mom and doesn't despise you."

Aaron said, moving a piece of hair from my face.

"I know. I'm just happy I have such a great relationship with her."

I said as Aaron leaned in closer to me. I knew what he was trying to do.

"Um, I'm gonna go to bed."

I said, standing up and heading towards the bedroom.
