"mommy" the screams started and Lexi jolted awake and walked over to the bed the kids were sharing.

"Stella baby, wake up. Mommy's here" Lexi cooed as she cradled Stella to her chest.

"Mommy a mean man hit me she cried. No one will hit me right?" She asked as she sobbed into lexis chest.

"No one will hurt you baby I promise. You want to sleep with mommy?" Lexi asked. Stella nodded and Lexi carried her over to her bed and played down with Stella cuddled into her.

"I love you baby girl" Lexi whispered a d kissed Stella's head.

"I love you too mommy" stella yawned and curled up into her. Lexi soon felt the bed dip a little and skylar lay down next to her against her back.

"I ya you mommy" sky said as he clung to Lexi's shirt.

Lexi woke up to the sound of giggling and screaming coming from downstairs.

She grabbed hed phone and saw it was about 9 am and that sbe had some messages from kellin.

Love: where are you?

Love: babe please come home. I miss you.

Love: I talked to Nick. I know you are there.

Love: I'm sorry for how I acted please come back. I miss you. Baby please I will try to deal with this. I just he is my only son. I don't think I couldn't fathom the thought of possibly loosing him.

Lexi: kellin you never lost him. He's expressing himself. Doing exactly what we've raised him to do. Be him. You've not lost him. I honestly think he is genderfluid. He doesn't know what's going on kells. He can't understand this. We have to be here for him every step of the way. He will grow do understand as he gets older but for now we need to be his parents and be there for him he needs us and you being a dick like you've been isn't helping. Are you ready to man up and be a father? If you are I will bring the kids home.

Love: I know. I'm sorry please come.home :( I will try I promise.

Lexi: if you don't I'm leaving and don't expect me or the kids come back.

Love: i will I promise. Please come home.

Lexi: I will. Going to get ready and leave soon.

Love: see you in a bit. Love you.

Lexi: love you too.
