Nat walked off the grass and on to the road where her car was parked. The nanny stood there, holding baby Ezra. Ezra had Mark's sort of squinty blue eyes and skinny nose. She got her small ears and thin lips from her mother. Her hair was a mix of Nat's dirty blonde and Mark's brown hair. She was a beautiful baby girl, no doubt, but she was almost the spitting image of Mark and it made Nat sick sometimes.

"Well, where is he?" Surya, the nanny, asked.

Nat picked Ezra off Surya's arms and sighed. "Inside, rehearsing. Time to bring little Ez in."

"Mommy, where's daddy?" she asked.

Nat kissed her forehead, "Inside baby, and he's so excited to see you."

Ezra squealed with joy, her little hands clapping. "I missed daddy. Didn't you, mommy?"

She giggled, "I sure did baby girl." she replied and walked back towards the stage.

"I'll help you see it through, cause I ju-"

"Daddy!" Ezra yelled at the top of her lungs the moment she saw Mark. She practically jumped off Nat's arms and started running towards the stage.

Mark ditched the keyboard and sprinted towards his daughter. He picked her up and hugged her tightly, tears of joy almost filling his eyes. He felt like Ezra was his only stress reliever - during times of hardships, he would call Nat to be on the phone with Ezra. He would feel like all the pressure of touring, writing an album and being a band in general were off his shoulders.

"I missed you so much, baby girl. Daddy is so happy you're here." He kissed her forehead and looked at his precious.

Ez kissed his cheek, "I missed you too daddy!" She leaned over and whispered, "Mommy missed you more. She told me earlier!"

They both giggled as Nat came over. "What's with the giggling?" she asked.

"Oh you know, little Ez just told me a secret about you." Mark replied as he and Ezra giggled again.

Nat leaned over at Ez, "What is this secret, Ez?" she asked with a smile.

"It's not a secret for nothing, Nat." Mark answered with a smile.

Nat slapped his arm lightly, "I was asking our daughter." she said, her dimples forming.

Ezra looked up at the both of them, "Daddy's right, mommy! It can't be a secret if I tell you!"

Nat laughed, "You win this round, Foster!"

He snickered, "Don't I always?" he replied as he pulled her closer and kissed her forehead.

Ezra looked at the both of them and saw the tension in their bodies. However, she could see in both their eyes that they've missed each other. Nat and Mark smiled at each other, both turning red.

The boys left the stage and walked to the family. They found little Ezra really cute, and they all wished that she would be the one to bring Mark and Nat back together again. They picked Ezra from them and walked off, giving the two time to talk.

"So are you staying for the show?" he asked.

She sighed, "I guess so. I'm sure Ezra would want to see you guys perform."

"Are you sure it's only Ezra who wants to see me?" he joked with a wink.

Nat giggled shyly, "Don't start on me, Foster." She hated how easily he could make her melt even after what went down between them earlier.

Mark grinned at the thought of her laughing because of him. His grin faded as he spoke, "Nat, about earlier-"

"It's nothing, Mark. Let's forget about it."

He sighed. "I don't want to forget about it. It was foul and I really shouldn't have." He looked at the grass in guilt, "I'm really sorry, Nat. Really."

She smiled, "It's alright, Mark." and a put a hand on his shoulder.

He looked up with the look of relief washed over his face. He opened his mouth, then RING RING! went his phone. He picked it out of his pocket and looked at the screen.

"It's Jas." he said. "Just... give me a minute." and he walked off to answer his phone call.

Cubbie went to Nat, who was now alone. "Well?"

"He apologized, and now he's on the phone with Jas." she replied.

He shook his head, "I swear, there is something really fishy with Jas."

Nat shot him a look. "You're only saying that cause I'm your best friend."

"No, I swear! No bias Nat, but I just have the worst feeling she's screwing Mark around." he said.

She shook her head and the two of them observed Mark's action. He looked like he was under stress. After a minute or so, he dropped his phone and plopped on the grass. He hugged his knees with his fingers pulling on his hair. Everyone ran over to him in panic, wondering what it could be.

Ezra was passed on to Mark and he hugged her like there was no tomorrow. Nat bent over next to him and put an arm around him. He held her hand and started sobbing.

"Daddy, what's wrong? Stop crying daddy... daddy..."

"Ez, promise you won't leave me. Promise me you and mommy won't leave me." he muffled, his grip tightening on Nat's hand.
