Emmett felt nervous. It had almost been a month since he last saw his daughters and Rosalie.

He wondered what she had told them about his not coming home.

He knocked on the door and was mildly startled when his younger daughter Kathy opened it before jumping in his arms.

Seeing that no one was in sight, he came in.

"Hey Maggie, where's Mom?" He asked his older daughter who was seated on the couch watching TV.

"Upstairs. She said she had a headache."

"Okay. Are you ready?"

She nodded and went to the door.

He was about to ask where were their sleepovers bags when he saw them lying next to the front door.

As he was backing out of the ally, he saw his previous bedroom window curtains being closed.
