"So I just woke up," I said to my camera, "And I can hear Ellise and Joe laughing outside so we're going to see what is so funny."

I pushed myself up and pulled my door open. I walked down the hall into the living area and saw Joe holding Ellise on a tricycle. I turned the camera as I let out a small laugh.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked.

Joe looked up at me with a smile.

"She woke up a little while ago so I've been showing her how to ride." He smiled.

"Mommy," She reached her arms up.

I laughed and handed Joe my camera. I picked up the girl, placing her on my hip.

"Hi baby," I smiled.

She giggled and placed her head on my shoulder. I smiled and looked to the camera.

"She looks just like you did." Joe said.

"You think?"

"I know," He nodded.

"Well little miss is going to daddy's so I can film." I smiled.

"Who are you filming with?" Joe asked.

"You?" I raised an eyebrow. "You asked me two days ago if I'd film a confession video."

He started laughing, "I also asked Conor to do so."

"Can I still be included?" I smiled.

"Fine," He said. "Also, I already fed her."

"What did you feed her?"

"Her cereal stick things." He shrugged.

"Okay, then let's get you bathed."

"Okay," She laughed.

Joe cut the camera and placed it on the counter.

I headed for the bathroom and sat her down as I turned the bath water on. Joe stood in the doorway, watching us.

"So if you're not planning on getting back with Byron, are you planning to marry Daniel?"

"I'm not sure Joe," I said and looked over. I threw a glance at Ellise, telling him to shut up.

"She doesn't know what we mean." He rolled his eyes.

"I don't care," I smiled, "Stop talking."

"Avoidance shows that you're doubtful." He shrugged.

"I'm not doubtful, just unsure." I said and ran my hand under the lukewarm water.

I shut the tap and watched as the tub began to fil. I turned to Ellise and stripped her of her clothes.

"Look, once marriage or whatever comes out, I'll figure it out." I said.

"You don't work like that Lex," He laughed, "You never have. You are just afraid to admit the truth. You are in love with Byron and you always will be."

"Are we talking about how in love Alexis is with Byron?" I heard Toff's voice as she appeared behind Joe.

"Oh my god," I laughed and placed Ellise in the tub.

"See?" Joe asked.

"I left my coat here last night." Toff smiled.

"It's in coat cupboard." Joe told her.

She nodded and walked away.

"Look, I don't know why you want Byron and I back together so bad but it's not happening." I told Joe. "So please drop it."
