I got up and went to wake up the kids. "Aurora, wake up honey." Stephanie said.

Aurora got up and got out of her sleeping beauty pajamas then got on her favorite shirt and jeans and ran down for quick breakfast before Paul caught her. "Where are you going you little munchkin?" Paul said.

"Daddy, let me go." Aurora said laughing.

He gave her a kiss on her head and she took off down stairs. Murphy stumbled out of her bedroom, already dressed for the day. She was still half asleep. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. Vaughn was hard to wake up. Stephanie started to tickle her and she was up in an instant. Stephanie got her clothes ready and sat them on her bed. After all she was just four years old. Stephanie made sure that Vaughn didn't go back to bed and then followed her down stairs. Paul already had breakfast served. She walked right up to Paul and kissed him. Aurora was already done with her breakfast and ran off somewhere. Paul had to leave for work yet again and he would be gone for three days, which he hated. He didn't like not seeing his girls and Stephanie for that long. He ate and ran upstairs to pack. When he returned there was a tower of toys and boxes in front of the door. "What is this?" Paul said.

Aurora appeared. "Daddy, I don't want you to leave. You're mine not their's." Aurora said.

Paul preceded to move stuff out of the way. "Daddy please. Daddy, no! stop it!" Aurora demanded.

Aurora started to cry and it killed Paul but he had to leave. Aurora clamps onto his leg. "If you're leaving your taking me with you." Aurora said as she was crying.

Paul pried her off of him and said "I don't want to leave either but I have to."

Aurora reached into her pocket and took out a heart locket with a picture of her sisters, Stephanie, and her in it. "Take this Daddy. It will keep you safe." She said.

Paul knelt down and gave her a hug and a kiss and shed a tear. "I love you Aurora. I love all of you." Paul said.

He picked her up and carried her into the kitchen. Stephanie could see the tears in her daughters eyes. "What's the matter baby." She said as she took Aurora into her arms. "She doesn't want me to leave again." Paul said.

Stephanie reassured her that he will be fine and he will come back. Stephanie rubbed her back as more tears went down Aurora's face. Paul walked over to Stephanie and Aurora and gave them both a kiss. "Me next! Me next!" Murphy said excitedly.

Paul went over and gave her a kiss and tickled her. He reached over and started to tickle Vaughn too.

"Daaaaaddddddyyyy, sttttoooopppppp it." Murphy and Vaughn said at the same time with giggles.

Stephanie was smiling at them. He turned all of his attention on his youngest and gave her a kiss. As he made his way out the door he said "I love all of you guys."

Stephanie turned to Aurora and told her she will have to clean up her mess she made for Daddy. Aurora reluctantly cleaned up. She still had tears in her eyes. It seemed that she only misses him. She had heard Stephanie say that he was going over seas and that meant he would be gone longer and it would be harder to call him because he was more busy than usual. After she was done she went back up to her room to do her homework and play with her "daddy" action figure. Murphy kept chasing Vaughn all around the house. Murphy was mischievous, just like her daddy. "You two be careful!" Stephanie shouted.

Stephanie was still in the kitchen, finishing loading up the dishwasher. She could hear Murphy's giggle's and Vaughn's whining and telling Murphy to stop. Stephanie walked out and saw them kinda fighting. "You two, I swear. Will you ever get along?" Stephanie said.

"No Mommy, Murphy is mean." Vaughn said.

Murphy stuck out her tongue at Vaughn. Unfortunate for Murphy, Stephanie saw it and put her into time out. "You don't stick your tongue out at people. Now you have to stay here for six minutes." Stephanie told Murphy.

Murphy sat in the corner with her arms crossed and pouted. Vaughn was giggling at Murphy which then she got into trouble as well. Murphy smiled in the corner. After Murphy was done with time out, Stephanie had her apologize and give Vaughn a hug, which they reluctantly did. They quickly stopped and ran off in opposite directions. Stephanie went to check on Aurora. She was on her bed, still doing her homework and right beside it of course was her Triple H action figure. Her eyes were still red. Stephanie went over and stroked her hair. "Need any help?" Stephanie said.

"No Mom." She responded.

Why don't you come downstairs." Stephanie said.

"I'm fine in here." Aurora said stoic.

Aurora would be like this every time Paul left and every time he came back she would be smiling ear to ear. She would be the first one to greet him every time! Nobody understood how much she loved and missed Paul. Don't get her wrong, she loves Stephanie too. Murphy and Vaughn are total mommies girls and Aurora thinks that they fight because then Stephanie give them both attention and of course they also loved their daddy! Aurora is very smart for her age. Just then there was a huge ruckus. Stephanie ran down to see what happened. Murphy and Vaughn started to fight again and it looked like they were running around and knocked over everything in the living room. Stephanie sighed. "What am I going to do with these two?" She said to herself.
