"Rory please give you sister back her ribbon," Kory sighed at the antics of her children. This was the morning routine her family had come accustomed to in the five years since she became a single mom. Mari, the oldest adorn with big green eyes and straight long black hair, fought with Rory, the middle who had dark red hair with blue eyes, who usually took something from her sister while Ryan, the youngest with blue eyes and black hair watched while eating his breakfast. Kory rolled her eyes before sending the two to the bathroom to get ready for school.

"Ryan, what are you doing?" she asked the little boy, whose legs were dangling from the tall kitchen stool.

"Sittin," he replied with a giggle as Kory picked him up.

"Well, you have to get ready for school," Kory put him down and smiled as he ran to the bathroom.

"Why did I have kids?" Kory muttered as she grabbed her apron. Dropping off the kids at school had always been such a hassle. Today, Mari forgot her lunch, then Rory wanted to change her outfit, and half way to school, Ryan announced he didn't have his backpack. Kory walked over to the door deep in thought and flipped the closed sign to open. She then walked to the counter and started to finish the flower arrangement she worked on yesterday. She began to hum a tune as she arranged the flowers into perfect order; her mind on nothing put the floral arrangements. As her mind began to completely drift away from the world, the door chimes stopped her thoughts.

"I guess you didn't see the paper," Rachel commented as she waltzed through the door, throwing the paper in front of Kory before grabbing her apron. Her green eyes widened at the headlines of the paper. RICHARD GRAYSON, GOTHAM'S PRINCE, ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT TO GIRLFRIEND BARBARA GORDON.

"I'm happy for him," she forced a smile onto her hurt face, causing Rachel to roll her eyes.

"Sure you are," Rachel said before pulling out a book and resting on the counter.

"I'm just worried about how the kids will react," she sighed before returning to the flower arrangement

"If I were them I would be happy that my father, who barely has enough time for me now, is getting married, meaning possibly no time for me at all," Rachel replied sarcastically without looking up from her book. Kory let out a bitter laugh before wondering how to break it to the kids.

"You know what," she announced, causing Rachel to look up, "this is his mess, and for once I am going to make him clean it up."

"Sure," Rachel snorted a bit before Kory shot her a glare. "Come on Kor, you know you are going to help him. You always cover for him."

"I do not!"

"Let's see," Rachel began counting on her fingers. "You covered for him every Saturday when he had a date and couldn't be with the kids, and the time he missed Christmas with them, and all the plays he missed… Need I go on?"

"Well I am not going to do it this time." The chimes rang through the store, causing their heads to turn to the door as a tall man entered the store.

"Speak of the devil," Rachel muttered before picking up her book again.

"Nice to see you, too, Rachel," Dick replied sarcastically to the raven haired girl. Richard and Rachel had constantly been at each other's throat's since the divorce.

"Don't let me get in the way of this blissful meeting," Rachel quickly excused herself to the backroom, but not before accidentally stepping on Richard's foot.

"Lovely friends you have," Richard said sarcastically.

"Cut the crap, Dick," Kory spat.

"Whatever do you mean?" Dick asked quizzically, flashing her the lopsided grin that use to make her melt.

"We both know that you only visit the shop when you need something," she sighed, continuing to work on the flower arrangement. "And I am assuming this has to do with the paper."

Dick chuckled as he picked up the paper. "Well then this is easy for me to ask," he began before she cut him off.

"No Dick, you have to break this to the kids yourself."

"But," he begged, "you are so much better at things like this."

"Dick I am not the one who doesn't spend enough time with them," she growled while poking him in the chest, her emerald eyes flashing dangerously. "It's not my fault the paper decided to announce your engagement before you could even tell your kids. So for once, I am not cleaning up your mess. Tell them tonight during the dinner you promised them, which I might add you have skip two weeks in a row." She took a deep calming breath before returning to the counter with a smile.

"Fine," he muttered before placing a fifty on the counter and grabbing two red roses. She rolled her eyes as he waltzed out of the shop.

"That sounded like a fun meeting," Rachel appeared out of nowhere before plopping down on the stool with her book.

"It was the greatest," Kory added sarcastically, propping her elbows on the counter and resting her head on her hands. "I'm always going to end up breaking it to them, aren't I?"

"Oh yeah," Rachel flipped the page as Kory's head hit the counter, "but your kids may love you more after this."

"Thanks for trying to look on the bright side," Kory muttered from the counter well Rachel offered her a shrug.

"Rory, did you take my blue headband?" Mari shouted from upstairs. Kory smiled as Rory ducked behind the couch just as her sister ran down the stairs.

"No," she replied from her hiding spot.

"Will you stop taking my stuff?" Mari snapped while snatching the headband off Rory's head.

"You're just mad that it looks better on me!" Rory huffed before her mother intervened.

"Rory, just wear your green ribbon and ask your sister before you take her stuff. Where's your brother?" Her eyes wandered around the front room looking for the youngest.

"Getting ready," Rory answered while tying the ribbon in her hair. Kory hurried upstairs concerned about the amount of time Ryan was taking, "Ryan, are you almost ready in there," she gently knocked on the door before peeking in. "Honey, what are you doing?" She tried to suppress her giggles at the sight of Ryan trying to put on his football helmet.

"I wanted to show dad my helmet since he missed my game last Saturday," he managed as Kory pulled the helmet off.

"Honey, you should just tell him about it," she swiftly picked him up and carried him downstairs, placing him on the couch next to his sister.

"Ok," he nodded turning his attention to the TV. Kory sighed looking at the clock; he was already thirty minutes late.

"Hey mom," Ryan's big blues eyes met hers, "do you think dad will come to my next game?" His eyes filled with hope and Kory had no idea what to say.

"Well," she began, but the doorbell promptly cut her off. She sighed in relief before answering the door. "Hey Kor," his voice caused the kids to sprinted to the door.

"DADDY, DADDY," filled the room as Dick picked them up and spun them around the room. He gently placed them down.

"Here's a gift for my two lovely ladies," he presented two roses for the two giggling girls. "And a gift for the football star." Dick tossed a brand new football to Ryan who easily caught it. Kory rolled her eyes at his usual antics; the gift giving that usually got him off the hook.

"Where are we going to dinner?" Mari asked, her jade eyes sparkling with excitement.

Dick smiled. "It's a surprise. I'll have them back before bed time." Kory watched as they left and silently prayed. "Please don't let him break their hearts."
