Authors note: Hi! So here's the sequel to Together Forever. Enjoy and don't forget to review!

Clark's POV

It's been a year since Lillie and I got married and Scarlett is now two years old and everything's going great.

At least it was.

"Hey Lils." I say as I walk into the kitchen after work. I walk up to her and wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her cheek. She unwraps my arms and walks away, completely ignoring me. "Lillie? What's wrong?" I ask, following her into the living room where she is picking up Scarlett's toys. When she doesn't respond, I ask again. After putting the toys in the toy box and staring out the window for a while, she turns to me.
"Are you cheating on me?" She bursts
"Cheating on you? Lillie, what, why, why would I do that? That's ridiculous!" I say and stifle a laugh, me, cheating on her?
"Oh so you think it's funny do you? Well I don't!" She shouts and storms out the room. Maybe that wasn't the best move.
"Lillie!" I call and walk after her. I follow her into the bedroom where she pulls back the covers on the bed and climbs in, curling up into a ball. "Lillie. Why would you think I am cheating on you?"
"Because I drove past a cafe earlier and saw you sitting outside with a girl, talking to her. I've heard so many stories about how guys have babies with girls and marry them and then cheat on them and leave. Clark I don't want to think that you would do that but to be honest I don't really know what to think right now."
"Lillie, that was Jessica, my friend Alex's girlfriend. He went inside to order our food and I sat outside with Jessica, it was nothing, I promise." I say and rub Lillie's back. She shakes off my hand and turns over.
"You spend way too much time with your friends nowadays anyway." She mumbles into her pillow.
"So you're saying I can't spend time with my friends now that we're married?" I ask, slightly confused
"No, what I'm saying is you spend too much time with them." She replies
"Seriously? You're seriously saying that I'm spending too much time with my friends? You can't say much after all the time you spend with your friends." I reply
"My friends?" She snaps and sits up and turns to face me. "I have no friends that want to spend time with me anymore Clark! Not since you got me pregnant! The only people I talk to nowadays are you and Lettie and our families and Jules. That's it! At least your friends still talk to you! Mine don't!"
"Oh don't be so stupid! Of course you have friends! Lillie you need to be less jealous and protective! I can spend time with whoever I want!" I say and get up and walk across the room to the door.
"That would be fine Clark, if I knew where you were half the time! You're never here to help me put Scarlett to bed or here when I wake up in the mornings. You're always busy or at work. Well I'm sick of it Clark! You can't expect me to sit around and be the perfect little wife and run around after you because guess what! It's not going to happen! I need time off too Clark!" She shouts just as Scarlett wakes up and starts to cry. Lillie gets up and pushes past me and storms down the hallway to Scarlett's room.

Lillie's POV

"Ssh baby mummy's here, it's ok, ssh, mummy didn't mean to wake you, ssh." I whisper and rock Lettie in my arms. She quickly calms down and gazes up at me. I smile down at her and kiss her forehead.

*A few hours later*

"Dean's coming over to watch the hockey game later Lillie." Announces Clark at dinner. I raise my eyebrows and carry on feeding Lettie, as always Clark leaves everything to the last minute, even telling me things and hardly ever helps me with Scarlett.
"And you were going to tell me this when?" I ask and I see him shrug out of the corner of my eye.
"Earlier but you started screaming at me and accusing me of things so I couldn't." He replies and carries on eating.
"I'm glad you're enjoying you're meal Clark because I haven't even touched mine yet." I mutter.
"Well it's not my fault you feed Scarlett, I'm pretty sure she's capable of feeding herself." He says
"Whatever and for the record, I couldn't care less of Dean is coming over later because I won't be here." I reply which gets his attention.
"Ok so I'm looking after Scarlett and you're going out?"
"No, I'm taking Scarlett to my parents and we're staying there tonight and I'll decide in the morning if I want to come back here or not for a few days."
"So you're taking my daughter away from me."
"Our daughter." I correct him. "You don't seem that bothered what Lettie does at the moment anyway because as I said earlier, you're never here. And lets not have this conversation right now ok?" Clark doesn't say anything, he just carries on eating whilst I feed Lettie.

An hour later, I pull up outside my parents house and get out, quickly and effortlessly lift Lettie out of her carseat in the back and our bags from the boot and run towards the front door as the rain starts to come down.
"Just in time Lettie!" I say and ring the doorbell.
"Lillie! Lettie!" Shouts Ally as she answers the door and pull us inside.
"Hey Ally-gator!" I say and pull her into a hug.

No one's POV

"So, trouble in paradise huh Lils?" Asks Wordy after Claire, Ally and Lettie had gone to bed. He hands her a tub of her favourite ice cream and sits down on the sofa next to her. She smiles at him and curls up into her mums side.
"Something like that." She mutters and starts to eat the ice cream.
"What happened baby?" Asks Shelley and Lillie explained about everything that had happened and by the end, she was holding back tears that were threatening to spill. Wordy looked down at his first born daughter and could see the hurt in his eyes. He put down his own tub of ice cream and took hers before pulling her onto his lap. Even though she was married and had a baby of her own, she still was and always would be his baby.
"I just need his help, just occasionally." Lillie whispers and buries her head in her dads chest and starts to cry. Wordy tightens his arms around her and kisses the top of her head softly. A little while later, he hears her breathing even out, indicating that she is asleep so he carefully carries her upstairs to bed.

*Meanwhile at Clark and Lillie's apartment*

"So she just accused you of cheating and left with Scarlett?" Asks Dean after Clark had explained what had happened earlier that evening.
"Yeah pretty much." Clark replies
"Do you think everything will be ok with you and Lillie soon?"
"Hopefully, I love her and Scarlett way too much to leave them I just hope Lillie feels the same way." Clark replies and shrugs.
"Have you told them that recently?" Dean asks and Clark turns to him.
"That I love them?" He asks and Dean nods "No I guess not." Clark replies and turns his attention back to the TV.


The next morning, Lillie wakes up to find that Scarlett was no longer in her bed.
"Dad?" She shouts as she makes her way downstairs "Mum have you -" she smiles as she reaches the kitchen and finds her sisters feeding Lettie her breakfast.
"Lettie woke up about half an hour ago and the girls wanted to feed her her breakfast. Sorry we didn't mean to worry you Lils." Explains Shelley walking over to Lillie and hugging her.
"That's ok." She says wrapping her arms around Shelley.
"Hey where's my hug?" Wordy asks from behind her. Lillie turns and hugs Wordy before turning her attention to Scarlett who was shouting for her. She lifted her out of the high chair and kissed her forehead before sitting down to eat breakfast herself.

An hour later, after Wordy and Shelley had both gone to work an the girls had gone to school, Lillie was lying on her old bed with Lettie playing beside her when she got a text from Clark.
'Hey Lils, I'm really sorry about last night, maybe you could come back and we can talk about it and work something out? I missed you and Lettie last night Lils. I love you both so much. Clark xxx'
"Daddy wants us to go home Lettie, what do you think?" She asks more to herself than to Scarlett who couldn't really reply. "Maybe not today, I think I need a little more time to think."

"Maybe we can go and see daddy today and then if mummy decides that she wants us to come back here again tonight we can, how does that sound?" Lillie says to Lettie after they had had breakfast two days later again talking more to herself than the two year old.

Two hours later, Lillie and Scarlett leave the house, leaving a note to her parents explaining where they are and make their way home.

Clark's POV

I texted Lillie a couple of days ago saying that I missed her and Lettie and that I love them and that they should come back so that we can work something out, but Lillie hasn't replied yet but I hope that she's decided to come. Just as I finish tiding away the rest of Lettie's toys that were lying around Lillie and I's bedroom, I hear the front door open and the sound of Lettie's babbling.
"Clark?" Lillie calls as I make my way down the hallway and into the living room where Lillie had already sat Lettie on the floor with some toys.
"Hey." I say and Lillie turns around and smiles slightly before sitting down on the sofa and patting the spot next to her, indicating that I should sit.
"So I did a lot of thinking the past few days," she starts after sitting for a while in silence. I nod and she continues. "And really, I think that once again I've jumped to conclusions and maybe been a bit dramatic and over protective."
"Maybe just a bit." I whisper and take her hand. "Lils I'm sorry if I ever did anything to make you question my commitment to you and Lettie and if I have, I want to make things right again." Lillie nods and shuffles closer to me on the sofa before resting her head on my shoulder. I lean down and press a kiss to the top of her head.
"So we're good?" I ask and she nods and sits up before pulling me in for a kiss.
"We're good." She repeats and kisses me again before pulling away saying that it's not appropriate for our daughter to see us making out.
