Murmurs next to her ear are soft and sweet. Bailey realizes that she is partially awake. She listens harder to the soft whispers and feels arms wrap around her. She knows that it is Tyler who is holding her. She opens her eyes to see Tyler still laying right next to her. She raps her arms around him.

"Morning." She said her words slurred with sleep. She kissed his jaw and smiled looking into his eyes.

"Morning." He kissed her hair like he had last night. She snuggled closer to him resting her head on his chest.

"Mmmm." She murmured closing her eyes. "Love you." Bailey said inhaling his scent.

"And I love you." He told her lifting her up to his face. They kissed fervently and heated Bailey. She liked the seam of his lips and giggled. She sat up in her bed and looked over herself. She still had on her clothes from yesterday as did Tyler. And she could already tell that her hair was a mess. Tyler sat up next to her wrapping an arm around her waist and kissed her shoulder.

"I gotta take a shower." Bailey said after a heat wave crashed through her body when he put his lips on her shoulder. She bit her lip and stood, he followed quickly. She turned and hugged herself to him, her arms around his waist and her face into his chest.

"Be back in a few." She said reaching up on her tip toes and kissing him again. She laughed when she pulled back and he sighed.

She walked out of her bedroom and down the hall to the bathroom. She toke a quick shower and wrapped herself in a towel. She combed through her hair with her fingers and walked swiftly back to her room. Tyler had went downstairs. She walked to her CD player and turned it on hitting play. Nora Jones 'Don't know why' played and she turned to her closet.

She remembered that she, Ell, Sarah and Kate were going dress shopping today. She had mixed feelings about the dance. She wanted to be with Tyler of course but she wasn't a great dancer. She grabbed her low rider jeans that she hardly wore and a fitting black t-shirt that had a peace sign on it. She threw her socks and converse shoes on and went to her mirror. She yanked a brush through her hair quickly, and put a little makeup on as usual. After she checked that she looked presentable in her mirror she stood and looked around her room. She heard laughter from outside. She walked slowly to her balcony doors and opened them. A light breeze greeted her and the sun swept over her skin casting warmth through her body. She walked out on the balcony letting her eyes sweep over the beautiful scenery around her.

Bailey looked down and saw that Tyler was playing with Adora. Adora's dark curls bouncing about her head as she ran from Tyler and Caleb. Her small laughter drifted up to her. She stood listening to her laugh and her mind drifted to the dream that she had last night. She remembered that it was the same dream but it was different. She wondered why there was a change in the dream when for so many nights it had been the same over and over again. She thought of Tyler laying there next to her holding her. She remembered how safe she felt and thought maybe it was because of him.

"Just once in my life I think it'd be nice Just get to lose control, just once with all the pretty flowers in the dust"

Evanescence's 'Lose Control' interrupted her thoughts. She picked her phone from her pocket and answered.

"Hello." She looked back down to Tyler and Adora.

"Hey so are you guys still coming with us?" Sarah asked quickly. Her voice laced with anticipation.

"Yes." She said running her fingers though her hair.

"So when are you guys coming?" Sarah asked her and heard muffled voices in the background.

"We will be there in a few minutes." Bailey said before snapping her phone shut and stuffing it back in her pocket. She smiled and walked from her room and stopped at Ell's room knocking on her door.

"Hey, Sarah just called lets go. I told her we would be there in a few." Bailey walked down the stairs and grabbed her keys. She walked around to the side of the house where Tyler and Adora were. She smiled when she rounded the corner and saw them still playing.

"Hey guys." Bailey called out. Adora's heat shot up making her curls bounce about her face. She took off running at full speed towards Bailey. Bailey held out her arms and Adora closed the final few spaces and jumped into her arms.

"Mommy!" Adora yelled hugging Bailey tightly.

"Hey baby." Bailey said hugging her back and kissing the top of her head.

"Mommy, me and Tyler and Caleb were pwaying. Do you want to join us?"

"I can't right now babe. I have to go out and fined my dress remember? For the dance."

"I'm sure you will look beautiful." Tyler said as he walked up next to Bailey. "And if it is alright with you, Adora and I would like to spend the day together."

Bailey couldn't talk yet. Tyler was smiling at her his eyes twinkling and wanted to spend the day with Adora. She didn't know quiet what to say. She searched for her words quickly.

"Uhmmm…sure. Thanks I'm sure that Adora would like that." Bailey felt shock but struggled to regain her self to tell them goodbye.

"Okay well, you will be spending the day with Tyler okay. And I will be back soon, promise. I love you." Bailey said to Adora and kissed her on the cheek and hugged her tightly again before setting her down on the ground. She walked to Tyler and hugged him.

"Thank you." She said into his ear and she kissed him briefly on the lips. She smiled and took a step back.

"Okay, I love you guys and I will be back soon." Bailey looked at them once more and took off towards her car where Ell was waiting on her.

Bailey stood from the car. They were finally at the store. She had spaced out for most of the conversation after she picked up Sarah and Kate. They were now walking towards the store to buy their dresses for the dance. She walked quickly behind them as the wind blew stronger around her making her shiver. She looked around her as she stepped into the store. It wasn't huge but it would do. They all went in their own directions looking for their dresses. They had a wide selection but so far nothing had caught Bailey's eye.

She was looking through another rack when she saw a flash of green. She walked over quickly and found the dress. She loved it immediately. It was a beautiful green. She held the dress up to her frame. It Swayed all the way down to the floor, it had no sleeves or straps. She looked at the size to make sure that it was her size. She didn't want to try it on here. She smiled as she walked to the counter and held the dress up telling them that she wanted to buy it. She handed them the dress and she paid for it. They handed the dress back inside of a protective zip up sleeve. Still smiling she found the other girls

"Hey, I'm going to take my dress out to the car and bring it around. I'll be waiting for you in the car. Kay." She told them and when they nodded she walked out into the cold breeze.

She finally reached her car and walked to the back popping open the trunk. She carefully placed her dress in the trunk and slammed the trunk down. She felt a sudden chill run through her as the wind picked up slightly. She looked up and shock and fear slammed through her making her freeze. She had to remember to breathe but it was hard.

She had looked up to see a man standing a few yards from her smiling. But it was an evil grotesque smile. She shivered again dropping her eyes but looked back quickly only to find that the man was gone. She blinked rapidly trying to make sense of what just happened. She was hugging herself tightly as the wind wiped around her small frame and her hair twisting in it. She sucked in a deep breathe and almost ran to her door and jumped in locking her door.

Her chest was heaving with the effort to control her breathing. Her mind was swirling with so many things. Yet she couldn't make what happened make a lick of sense. He was there, she still felt fear from his penetrating gaze and his malicious smile. But as soon as she looked away and back he had disappeared. She turned the car on and reached down turning on the heat. She ran her fingers through her hair and bit her lip. She knew she wasn't going crazy but it felt like that. She looked back at the guy. He had short brown hair and he was average height. He was muscled and from a different prospective he would be found cute.

She shook her head trying to dispel the memory. She pulled the car in front of the store and sat there waiting with nothing but her thoughts. She quickly tried to occupy her mind thinking of Tyler and Adora. She smiled in spite of herself. The sudden ring of her phone caused her to jump and gasp. She felt like slapping herself when she realized that it was her phone. She answered quickly.

"Hello." She tried to mask the shakiness that laced her voice.

"Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Adora and I are at Caleb's." There was a brief silence then. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I hope that you guys have fun. Love you." She hoped that she sounded normal.

"I love you." Suddenly she felt completely warm again and safe at his words. She closed her phone and put it back in her pocket.

She sat there letting the safe feeling wash over her when someone tapped on her window. Her head jerked up and she saw that it was Ell and the girls. She popped the trunk and waited as they also placed their dresses in the trunk on top of hers. They jumped in and started talking animatedly.

Bailey drove down the road as it started to get dark and tried to focus on the road not letting her mind wonder. Because she knew that if she did she would be thinking of him. Of that wicked smile that played on his face. She would feel that fear and knew that it was all to real. She wanted to forget that that had ever happened. They had arrived at Caleb's and she stood from her car popping the trunk so Sarah and Kate could get their dresses. They all walked towards the beautiful house and Bailey felt reassurance was just a little bit away.

She followed them into the living room to find Tyler and Adora. Adora ran to her just like before. She smiled and embraced her daughter.

"Me and Tyler had a reawy great time. We played with Caleb and then…" Bailey walks with her and sits down next to Tyler. He wrapped his arm around her waist and Adora kept telling her of her eventful day. She instantly felt safe at his touch. She let a small sigh through her lips.

They all sat around the big beautiful room and talked. Adora told her of her and Tyler's day and was now asleep across Bailey and Tyler's laps. She listened to her even deep breathing. Bailey ran her fingers through the dark curls on her daughter's head. She never wanted to move from this spot. Tyler was next to her holding her and Adora was laying in their laps sleeping. But it was getting late and she had things to do. She turned stiffly towards Tyler.

"Well I guess its time for us to go." She said looking at Tyler. "It's getting late."

"Yeah I'll walk you to the door." He told her.

She pulled Adora into her arms still sleeping and stood. She watched Ell stand and tell Reid by. They kissed and Ell walked ahead of them out the door and to the car. Bailey stopped at the door and turned to look at Tyler.

"Thank you for today with Adora." She looked into his blue eyes and knew that she would always be safe with him.

"It was nothing. I love you both so much." He said and placed a gentle kiss on Adora's cheek. She smiled and they kissed but with more fire than usual. She felt the heat wave start to crash over her and pulled back.

"I love you. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight." She told him running the pad of her thumb over his eyebrow. Then down his cheek to his lips.

"As I love you. Goodnight." He told her. She took another long look into his beautiful eyes and turned out the door and to the car. She carefully placed Adora in her car seat in the back not wanting to wake her up. She looked back to the door where Tyler still stood and she waved before driving out into the darkness.

They were home quickly. Bailey got Adora from the car and took her in, Ell caried in their dresses. She walked up the stairs and placed her in her own bed. She kissed her on the cheek then on top of her head and whispered I love you's to her before shutting the door and walking the short space to her own room.

She went to the balcony doors and grabbed her arms in her hands taking a deep breathe. She ran through the memories of the man from before. She remembered the smile -if that's what you would call it- and with clarity she realized that he seemed familiar. She didn't understand that. She knew deep down that she had never met him before. Yet it seemed as if they had. She shook it off and walked over to her desk with her laptop and sat in the chair. She decided to keep her mind busy so she wouldn't think of him. She started working on a school report that was due shortly. She completely immersed herself in her work.
