Beck stood at the front door of his car, Cat and Robbie in front of him, slight smiles on both of their faces.

"Just...call me if you need anything." Beck said for 8 millionth time. "I'll be back in a month for like a week or so, I told the girls that, but incase they miss me or something, just assure them of that. And they can always call me, I will pick up no matter what I'm doing, I promise."

"Beck," Cat said smiling, "Robbie and I will take perfect care of the girls, We promise. Now go, or you'll miss your plane."

"Right." Beck said, he looked behind his friends and saw Ophelia and Juliet standing quietly. Even from where he was standing he could see the tears running down their cheeks. He frowned and walked over to them, kneeling so he could be the height of his three year old daughters. "Hey."

Juliet wiped away her tears and attempted a brave smile but it fell off almost instantly. She was only three, she shouldn't have to be brave. "Daddy, Please don't go."

Beck frowned again, combing her dark hair from her face, "Baby, We'll talk every day, morning and night, I promise. And I'll be home next month, and you can spend time with Robbie and Cat. Everything will be okay, I promise."

Juliet bit her lip and nodded, allowing Beck to turn his attention to the quieter of his two daughters. "Be brave for your sister, okay?"

Ophelia nodded and gave her dad a hug, allowing him to kiss her on the cheek. "Bye." She whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too Phee." He told her and then pulled away to look at Juliet, "I love you too J." He kissed her on the cheek before turning back to his car. "Take care of my girls." He said, looking directly at his friends. "Thank you."

He got in his car and waved to Cat, Robbie and the girls and then pulled out of his small driveway and onto the road ahead. He had taken the girls carseat out last night and put them in Cat's car, so now the car just felt empty. He was alone for most of the ride, right up until he got to the airport. That's when she decided to make her appearence.

"I don't like that your doing this." Jade said, her arms crossed, clearly angry.

"Yeah? Well when I adutitioned, I didn't know they were going to make me fly to NYC." Beck told her, rolling his eyes.

"You could've taken the girls with you."

"I don't have the money. Reason number one why I had to take this job. The grocery store doesn't pay the best Jade." He informed her, pulling into the airport parking lot.

"You left them with Cat and Robbie!" She cried, "They are hardly the best canidates for the job of taking care of our childern!"

"They are all I had!" Beck told her, getting irritated himself. "Your brother won't give me the time of DAY since you died. He hates me Jade, and He hardly gives Ophelia or Juliet any attention. Gretchen calls to talk to them maybe once a month? Jade, It was them or Tori."

She huffed and crossed her arms, "I guess they're better than Vega."

Beck actually cracked a smile, "You would think after everything you've been through, you would get over your crazy hatred of Tori."

"Never."


"No, I want Mr. Bear!" Juliet insisted,

"I don't know where Mr. Bear is Juliet." Robbie said, "I'm sorry, Why don't you use Mrs. Waffles." He held out a floppy eared elephant. "She could be your sleepy-time companion tonight!"

"That's OPHELIA'S!" She yelled, tears leaking from her eyes. "I want Mr. Bear!"

Robbie put his head in his hands, "Cat...Do you know where Juliet's bear is?"

Cat appeared in the doorway of her room, her bright red hair in a high ponytail. "No, I would call Beck but he's not off his plane yet." She was holding Mr. Longneck in her hands and pursed her lips. "Here." She knelt down next to the little girl and offered her the giraffe. Juliet's little mouth curled into a smile and she took the stuffed animal.

"Thank you." She said, hugging her around the neck.

"Do you want me to tell you a story?" Cat asked. Juliet nodded, making Cat smile. "Okay, Get into bed and I'll tell you one that your mommy and I made up ourselfs."

Juliet's face brightened at the mention of her mother, "Okay!" She ran and got under her covers, a smile spreading across her face.

Cat pulled up a chair from her desk and sat down next the little girl, "Once upon a time there was a little girl who always dreamed of being a princess..."

Robbie left the room, closing the door behind him. He peered into Ophelia's room where the little girl was already in her PJ's, looking at a picture book in her bed.

"Night Phee." He said quietly, not even sure if she would be able to hear him.

She looked up and smiled, looking more like her sister than usual and waved goodnight to him. He closed the door and headed back to the living room, He couldn't wait till he one day had childern of his own.
