I don't own SWAC or Disney seen it. I would like to thank the people who's ideas I did use in this Chapter. Sonnycoooper for the name Dylan, rachpop15 for the name Vicki, musicluhver for the idea of them both being girls, lolchanny819 for the idea of the twins being girls, georgieM for the idea of the twins being girls and for the names Grace and Serenity, she also half way gave me the idea of what they look like. I think that's it. And for all of those that I didn't use your idea's in this chapter (names, amount of children, the sex of the twins, …) I am planning to use in the later chapters and give you credit for it then. I love you guys! So here it is the sequel to Running To Stand Still!

Searching for former clarity

Chapter one

Sonny POV

10 years later

I watched from the kitchen as my almost happy family watched a movie in the living room. I was spouse to be making us dinner but I found myself angrily thinking about the one person that isn't here right now, the one person that is never here, Chad Dylan Cooper. Now being my husband you would think that he would be rushing home to his family that loves him very much, but instead he comes home late at night after everyone is asleep and leaves before anyone wakes up. It is a rare day when one of us actually see him at home.

Realizing that I wasn't going to get much done with being mad at Chad I took out all the necessary items to make a sandwich and put them on the table. The kids are just going to have to settle for this as their supper tonight.

"Kids supper's ready!" I yelled for them getting mumbled responses in return. Mackenzie was the first to walk in. It's hard to believe he's already fifteen.

"Ah, another meal brought to us by our very own father." He said sarcastically. Mackenzie has grown to learn that I only made sandwiches when I was made at Chad.

"Mackenzie just eat your food." I told him while helping out my youngest son Lukas Alexander who is six. Just to let you know me and Chad have five children together.

All six of us sat down to eat. I looked across the table at my identical twin daughters. It didn't feel like they were born ten years ago. Alison Serenity had her blonde hair up and out of her face showing her chocolate eyes. Victoria Grace let her long blonde hair fall over her face hiding her chocolate eyes. Sitting on either side of them was one of their younger brothers. Dylan Sterling was sitting by Vicki. His beautiful blue eyes hidden by the mop of brown hair on his head. He's my little eight year old. Luke was sitting by Ali looking similar to Dylan, besides his brown hair is short and spiked up out of his blue eyes.

Not much was said during supper, because ever since Chad started spending all his time at work one year ago this family has started to fall apart. Not being able to handle the silence anymore I started to talk.

"So… who's up for a family game of Disney seen it?" I asked randomly.

"Are you forgetting we're not a family anymore. We would have to have a dad." Mackenzie said getting up from the table and leaving. I just watched in shock as he left. I stared wide eyed at my other children waiting for a response.

"But we do have a dad. He just doesn't care enough about us anymore." Vicki said as she and Ali left the table. They always do everything together.

"I wish daddy would love us more than his job." Dylan said as he followed his sisters out of the room.

"Are we ever going to be daddy's number one's again momma?" Lukas asked me.

"Of course you will sweetie." I told him hoping I wasn't lying. He nodded and ran off to a different room.

I sighed. We used to be such a close knit family and now we don't do anything together. I cleared the table while cursing Chad in my thoughts. He promised me before the twins were born that we would never be like this, but look at us. I walked up the stairs to Mackenzie's room after finishing cleaning the kitchen. I knocked loudly on the door knowing he proudly had his headphones in and on high. When I got no reply I opened the door without an invitation.

"Go away. I don't want to talk." Mackenzie ordered me. It hurt a little.

"Mackenzie that is no way to talk to me even if you are mad at your father." I scolded him.

"Don't call him that! He isn't my father! My father would never put work before us! For all I'm concerned it's like when I was little, I don't have a father!" He yelled standing up from his bed that he was sitting on previously.

"Don't say that Mackenzie Lee! You know your father loves you and wishes he could spend more time with you!" I yelled at him tired of having another on of these 'dad don't care about us anymore' fights.

"Face it mom, Chad abandoned us." Mackenzie whispered sadly.

"Mackenzie, please just stop, and don't refer to your father as Chad." I whispered back to him almost in tears. I quickly left his bedroom and went to mine. Yes it's just mine. Cad has been sleeping in the guest room because he says he doesn't want to wake me up. I'm not sure if that's the truth anymore.

When I got to my room I sat on the edge of the bed and did something I've been doing a lot lately in the last year of my life, I cried. I also happen to be cursing Chad out but for our younger viewers that part has been removed from the story. Why did I have to fall in love with Chad Dylan Cooper?

Love it… Hate it…. What ever you wish just please let me know what you think in a review!
