It was the week that the children would be leaving with Amelia's parents. And Amelia was on edge not aboiut the children leaving although she'd miss them but for months 8he had been like that snapping at everything big or small. she and Alton had been argueing more here recently over small thing such as how the towels are folded.

Amelia was sitting by the window drinking her morning coffee and Alton was reading the paper drinking his cup.

It was rainy and the kids were bored not a healthy thing when your six and five. "Brother im bored.." "Me two becca.." Crescent mumbled back .

"I got an Idea we can go to mum and papa's study there always cool thing in there!" "but Becca Mummy said not to go in thre unless her or papa are with us -"

"Oh crescent there drinking there coffee they'll be there forever you know that...and we wont touch anything just look." Crecent thought it sounded safe enough. "o-kay"

they climbed the stairs extra quite to make sure Scarlet or Bethany didn't hear them. they looked though alot of boxes mostly junk that there parents collected on their travels. They were about to leave when Crecent Fell backwards and knocked open a boxcontaining a small black book inside.

Rebecca read it , "Amelia's Dairy? What would mummy have a dairy book we dont have any cows and we can have milk?" "No no Becca it say Diary " "Oh.. I knew that Cres...""How do we open it?" He asked seeing the little lock on it."

"I seen Scarlet do this to Bethany lotsa times she said pulling a bobby pin her mother had placed in her hair that morning to keep her hair back.

After she stuck it in and turned it , it opened. Both grinned and began flipping through the pages. "Oh Crescent listento this."

"Mummy kissed papa before they were mummy and papa?" Becca said in a harsh whisper. "Oh wow!" "Rebecca , Crescent?" Alton called from down stairs. "Come along now you'e going to your grandpapa and grandmums! for a few hours. " Amelia called.

Rebecca and crescent couldnt keep it in any longer they HAd to tel there grandparents. Rebecca even still had the book in her pocket. "Grandmama!" Beccca called. "Yes darling?"tabitha Smollet asked looking away from the chicken she was battering."We got something for you to read!" Crescent declared.

"Oh? well let me see." after reading the paper she said , "Go get your grandpapa." "okay" Once he was in there she had him read it too. "Seems to me tablitha we have a little intervention to commence." "Quite right Alvester."

Alton and Amelia both walked in right after dinner both laughign at something that took place. "did-did you see his face." Amelia said , "Mine would look the same way if I wasnt married to you and seen you down an entire rib set and hlaf of my steak how do you do it Amelia and stay so tiny." "Oh shut up you sound like one of those girls from school." When the two walked in they were recived by odd looks.

"Alright...what happen?" Amelia asked as she was still holding her husbands hand. "this." her mother produced the diary. amelia took it and look atonished so did Alton , he knew of the diary but he never in a million years would touch more less read it.

It told of Amelia's more troubled and private topics of her lifegrowing up and she evern had a journal today but it wasnt as privatejust of her motherly experiance.

"h-how did you get this?" everyones eyes fell upon Crescent and Rebecca who were both looking anywhere but there slowly angering mother. "you went into our study didnt you!" " Neither one of them said a word they knew she wasnt asking a question.

"then you went into my privacy! And showed it !" Amelia was now feuming. "Come now Kathrine it isn't that bad now you needen't yell at them." her mohter soothed. "It may hold no Value to you but it did to me!" She snapped and then said , "Thats it in finished im walking home!" and pushed past Alton.

"papa.."Becca said tugging on her fathers jeans. "We didnt mean it.." "I know baby but you did it and your hurt your mama..I'll be right back."He said and went after her.

"Amelia!" She stopped and utrned back to him brealthing deeply. "Darling what are you doing? " "Going home!" "You're not walking 20 miles!"

"I can!" "I didnt say you couldn't but your not!" he caught up with her and put and hand on her shoulder.

"Amelia there only babies." "Alton that still doesnt excuse-" "Your babies." she sighed and looked up at him. "I know Alton it's just im so used to keeping everything locked up and hidden..." "I know dear I know." He pulled her close. Then they realized they were in the middle of the road when someone shout 'Get a room!'

when they walked back in Rebecca and Crescent looked at hteir mother droopy eared and she knelt down. "Come here loves." she said quitely. They came to her and she embraced them . "We're sorry mummy." "sssush darlings. I know , I over reacted."
