*Flash back*

It was Aubrey's first birthday and Mechelle was celebrating with her family and best friend. The gifts had been unwrapped and candles were blown out, but something still felt wrong. Mechelle's mom had taken Aubrey to go get cleaned up, while she sat outside on the deck to calm herself down. "What's wrong Sky" Alexandria asked while she sat down next to her.

"I was just wondering what it would be like if her father would've been able to be here." Sky says.

"You could've found him, I know you left him for many reasons… but you could've went and found him."

"It's more complicated than that Alex" Sky says to her

"Anyways, I'm just happy her and I made it through her first year." And with that she hears Aubrey and her mother coming back from cleaning Brey up.

*Flash back ends*

Waking up from Dean lightly shaking her Mechelle gasps for air. "Sky, what's wrong?" Dean ask while pulling her closer to him in bed. "Huh? Oh… I was just having a bad dream." Sky says while snuggling into Dean's chest. "Well would you like to talk about it?" Dean ask.

"No, I just want to try to go back to sleep." And with that they both went back to sleeping.

Seven-thirty came too soon and they were woke up by Aubrey.

"Mommy! I'm hungry." Aubrey says while crawling into bed and cuddling with Mechelle.

"Okay, okay let's go eat then." And with that Mechelle and Aubrey went downstairs to eat. Thirty minutes later Dean came walking into the kitchen dressed for work.

"Hey, you two." He says while standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

"Hi" Aubrey says in between bites of her cereal.

"Hey" Mechelle says while getting up and fixing him his coffee to go.

Thanking her Dean grabs his coffee and starts to head towards the door. Stopping quickly and turning around "we should probably talk tonight about everything." And with that he was out the door and on his way to work.

Mechelle had to be at work by eight-thirty, Aubrey and she went upstairs to get ready for the day. Dropping Brey off at daycare Mechelle made it to work just in time. Work seemed to go by slow for Mechelle and when five o'clock came she couldn't have been more grateful. Having picked up Aubrey from day care, Sky drove home to cook dinner. While dinner was being prepared she sent Aubrey to go play in her room. It was six-thirty and dinner was cooked and ready to be served when Dean walks in. Having washed his hand Sky sent him to bring Aubrey down for dinner.

Dinner was filled with laughter and joy while Mechelle cleaned up Dean and Aubrey went to color. Once Sky was done with cleaning the kitchen she walks into the living room. "Brey, it's bath time." Mechelle states "Okay, I'm sorry but I have to go take a bath now." Brey tells dean just before following Mechelle upstairs. "Since you are all clean you can play with your toys for a few minutes I'll be right outside the bathroom." And with that Mechelle walked out to see Dean sitting on the floor leaning against the wall with two beers in his hand. "Hey" Mechelle says while sitting next to him and taking a beer. "So we should talk." He says while staring at Mechelle.

"Yes, I agree we need to talk… how bout after I tuck Brey in?"

"That's fine." They sat there in pure silence for a few minutes, before Sky decided that Brey had played enough. Getting her dressed and tucked in, Mechelle walks into the living room and takes a seat next to Dean.

"So what do you need to know?" Sky ask.

"First things first, I need to tell you this… I left her Sky I want to be with you and Brey."
