Wyatt"That's great sweety."
Jenniffer"Do you think that it's weird if I started to write some songs myself?"
Wyatt"No. Your mom was about your age when she started."
Jenniffer"When day time turns to night. When the moon shines bright. When your tucked in tight. When everything's alright....."
Jacqueline"What's a family tree?"
Wyatt"You can dig through the attic for what you need after dinner."
Jacqueline"Is this a book."
Jenniffer"I think that's a diary."
Wyatt"How's everything going?"
Jenniffer"Can I wear this dad? Please?"
Wyatt"Sure."
David"The neckless looks really pretty with your other one."
Jacqueline"Can we pick the lock?"
Wyatt"Not the best idea."
The next 2 hours the kids look through the stuff. Jenniffer finally got it opened and can't believe what she read on the first page.
Jenniffer"Who is Kailyn and Rayan?"
Livingroom:
David"Who?"
Jenniffer"Kailyn and Rayan."
Jacqueline"I never heard of them."
David"Same here."
Jenniffer"I never heard of them either. But mom must have heard of them.
David"How is that possible?"
Jenniffer"Listen to this. Mom wrote it....My husband is my childhood friend Cody Martin. Together we have 2 kids Kailyn and Rayan. Kailyn is 2 going on 3. She is to start pre-school soon. Rayan is 1 and just a really pleasant baby."
David"Who's Cody?"
Jacqueline"I though that mom and dad were married. I didn't know that we had another dad. Or that mom was married before."
Jenniffer"Dad do you know anything this?"
Wyatt"Your mom was married before we met. It was to,her best friend since pre-school,Cody Martin."
Jenniffer"And they had 2 kids."
Wyatt"Yes. That's where Kailyn and Rayan comes in."
David"That makes you their step-dad. Right?"
Wyatt"Yeah. Their also your guys half-siblings."
Jacqueline"Did you actually meet them before?"
Wyatt"Well I saw their picture before. I also talked to them once or twice. But other then that nothing."
Jenniffer"Why did ever mom mansion them?"
Wyatt"I don't know. I'm sure that she had her reasons."
Jacqueline"So then I should add them onto my family tree."
Wyatt"Well they are family."
David"I wish that we can know what they are like."
Wyatt"Well David. You and Jenniffer met them before. But back then you where still very young."
Jacqueline"Did I every get a chance to meet them?"
Wyatt"No. They probably heard about you. The 3 of you never actually met in person."
Jenniffer had many questions but before she could talk again the world started spinning. Then she was in whole new place. She started to slowly walk around the room.
January,1,2008
Jenniffer"Where am I?"
(Distance noise)
Jenniffer"I better hide."
Cody"Here sweetie. There you go."
Jenniffer in a whisper"Who is he?"
Cody"What was that?"
Alex"What was what?"
Cody"I though that I heard something."
Alex"Well I don't see anything. Come on we better get the kids breakfast. You need to get too work soon."
Cody"Yeah. I guess it was nothing."
Kailyn"Look. Girl."
Alex"What girl?"
Kailyn"There."
Cody"What?"
Alex"Where sweetie?"
Kailyn"There."
Jenniffer in a whisper"Oh no."
Alex"What was that?"
Cody"I don't know."
Alex"I think we should look around. I'll look around here. You take upstairs."
Cody"OK."
5 minutes later Alex was convinced that there was nothing that there and that Kailyn was just saying different words.
Alex"Did you find anything?"
Cody"Nope. You?"
Alex"No."
Cody"I guess it was nothing."
Alex"Here you go Kai. You better get to wrk."
Cody"Bye Lynnie. Bye Eyan. Bye Alexis."
Alex"Bye. Can you say bye daddy?"
Kailyn"Bye Dada."
Rayan"Bubba."
Jenniffer in a whisper"Their cute."
Once Cody left the day started. Alex took Kailyn and Rayan into the livingroom.
Alex"Stay here and play. I'll just be in the kitchen."
Jenniffer"Now to get out of here."
Kailyn"Hi."
Jenniffer"What?"
Kailyn"Hi. I'm Kailyn. Who are you?"
Jenniffer"Wow you talk really well."
Kailyn"That doesn't answer the questions."
Jenniffer"Why do you want to know?"
Kailyn"Because you aren't suppose to be in this house."
Jenniffer"Jenniffer OK. My name is Jenniffer."
Kailyn"Mommy there's a stranger named Jenniffer in here."
Alex"What?! Who are you?"
Jenniffer"I'm a family member. That's the only way that I could have gotten in here. Only family member have your house keys."
Alex"How come I never met you before?"
Jenniffer"I don't know. I guess you don't remember me. I remember you though."
Alex"OK. Well next time when you decided to come over give a heads up notices."
Jenniffer"OK. Sorry."
Alex"Well Kailyn is over there. That's Rayan. It would really help if you could keep an eye on them."
Jenniffer"Sure."
Alex"Thanks."
Jenniffer"No problem."Then she added in a whisper"Mom."
Alex"What was that?"
Jenniffer"Nothing. I was just going to ask what day is today?"
Alex"January, 1, 2008."
Jenniffer"The day in the diary."
Alex"What diary?"
Jenniffer"Nothing. Just my diary that I was going to start tonight."
Alex"OK. I'm going to be in the kitchen. Call if you need anything."
Jenniffer"Will do."
About 30 minutes later Alex came back out and took Rayan up stairs for a nap.
Alex"OK. I'm taking Rayan up stairs for a nap. I shouldn't be too long."
Jenniffer"OK."
Alex"Can I ask you to watch Kailyn until I get back?"
Jenniffer"Sure. I'll be happy to."
Alex"Great thanks. Kai be good."
Kailyn"Yeah."
10 minutes later Alex came back down.
Alex"OK I got Rayan down for a nap. So we have to be very quite until he wakes."
Kailyn"Mommy play?"
Alex"Sure."
Jenniffer watched Alex interacted with Kailyn. She started to feel sad because as soon as she got back to her time her mom would be gone.
Kailyn"Do you want to play too."
Not wanting to get too close to her mom she just shook her head.
Jenniffer"Ummm. Do you have any photo's or anything like that around here?"
Alex"Yeah. There on the shelf over there. You can take a look if you want."
Jenniffer took the photo albums off the shelf one by one and started to look through it in the corner. As she looked through the book she got sadder and sadder.
Alex"You Alright?"
Jenniffer"Yeah."
Alex"What's wrong?"
Jenniffer"I just miss home."
Alex'Where are your parents?"
Jenniffer"I don't know."
Alex"What?"
Jenniffer"They live in a place called Crossroads."
Alex"OK. Well I'm sure that you'll get to see them again soon. For now just come and eat."
Jenniffer"No thanks. I'm not that hungry."
Alex"OK. I'll leave something out for you just incase."
Jenniffer"Thanks."
As the day went on everywhere she went Jenniffer took the photo album with her.
Kailyn"Hey. Why are you carring that book around?"
Jenniffer"I'm still looking at it."
Kailyn"Oh."
Alex"OK. Princess are you ready for a bath?"
Kailyn"Can I still play with Jenniffer after?"
Alex"Sure."
Kailyn"OK."
Alex"I'm going to give Kailyn and Rayan a bath. I shouldn't be too long."
Jenniffer"Can I ask you something? It's for a school project."
Alex"Sure. I guess."
Jenniffer"Who is this?"
Alex"Oh that is Cody. He is my husband and the kids father. He has been my friend since pre-school."
Jenniffer"OK."
Alex"You can ask me anything when I come back down."
Jenniffer"OK thanks."
10 minutes later Alex caem back down with Kailyn and Rayan who look like they where just about ready for bed.
Alex"OK so did you want to know anything else?"
Jenniffer"What's Cody like?"
Alex"Kind,thoughtful,considerate,and love. I could go on for while."
Jenniffer"Oh. Does he like kids?"
Alex"Yeah. He love kids."

Alex"This is someone from my family whom you never met before."
Cody"I'm Cody. Alex's husband. You are?"
Jenniffer"I'm Jenniffer. I heard about you before. You've known Alex since pre-school."
Cody"Well. It's very nice to meet you Jenniffer."
Jenniffer"Same here."
Kailyn"Daddy."
Cody"Hey Lynnie."
Kailyn"I was a very good girl."
Cody"Good then tonight you get to hear a story."
Kailyn"Yeah."
Alex"Why don't you take her upstairs with Rayan. I'll meet you there in a minute."
Cody"OK then. Later Jenniffer."

Kaiyln"That was great."
Cody"There will be another performance here tomorrow night if you are a good girl tomorrow."
Kailyn"I'll be a very good girl."
Cody"Alright. I'll come and tuck you in after mommy does."
Kailyn"Night daddy."
Cody"Night."
Alex"OK come on. Get in bed. I'll put your brother in his crib then come and tuck you in."

Jenniffer"OK. I should be leaving soon. I'll tak to you later."
Cody"OK then. Bye. See you later."
Alex"OK. So you want to hear the song."
Kailyn"Yes."
Alex singing:
Don't lose your way
with each passing day
You've come so far
don't throw it away
Live believeing
dreams are for weaving
wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
faith,hope,and glory
hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
dream see us through to forever
where clouds role by
for you and I
Souls in the wind
must learn how to bend
seek out a star
hold on to the end
Valley,mountain
there is a fountain
washes our tears all away
Waves are swaying
someone is praying
please let us come how to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
dream see us through to forever
as clouds role by for you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
in the dark we'll feel the light
warm our hearts everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
dream see us through to forever
As high as soulds can fly
Jenniffer whispering"For you and I."
As she sang the last couple of she felt a tear drop from her eyes.
Alex"Night my little Princess."
Kailyn"Night."
Alex"Alright. Sleep tight. See you in the morning."
Alex went into her room and then started to write in a book.
Jenniffer"The diary."
Rayan then starts to cry. Alex goes into the nursury through the connected door.
Alex"Come here buddy. You want to rock with mommy. Come on."
Rayan starts to babble.
Alex"Hush little baby don't say a word. Mommy's gonna buy you a mocking bird."
Jenniffer listen as she sang to Rayan.
Alex"You're growing up so fast."
Jenniffer"So this book is probably going to tell us all we want to know.
Just then the Jenniffer's world started to spin again. 2 seconds later seh was back in her time.
Wyatt"Hey Sweetie you alright."
Jenniffer"Yeah. I think that if we want to know more about Kailyn and Rayan we have to read mom's diary."
Jacqueline"OK."
David"So where were you?"
Jenniffer"I think I got send back to the time of January,1,2008."
Jacqueline"Why?"
Jenniffer"I don't know. I guess to see why mom started the diary and to see what's it about."
Wyatt"Well. What ever it's about it's late and all 3 of you should be getting to bed.
Jenniffer"Yeah. Night."
David"Night."
Jaqueline"Night."
Wyatt"Night. Sleep tight."
Jenniffer"Hey David."
David"Yeah."
Jenniffer"Do you miss mom?"
David"Every day why?"
Jenniffer"How do you deal with it?"
David"Well I just let it out. It helps. If that doesn't help then I just do the things that she would do with us by myself. That definatly helps out."
Jenniffer"Thanks."
David"No problem."
That night Jenniffer missed her mom so much that she cryed herself to sleep.
