A/N And the show is back on the road! It's been a while I know, but I've had some pretty rough writers block with this. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! R&R!

"So when are you going back?" I asked her. Claire had come to stay with us two weeks ago. She was trying to avoid Riley. I personally thought she needed to talk to him and I was doing everything in my power to try and convince her to go back to him.

"Jeff, you ask me that question everyday, when are you going to leave it alone?" She sighed putting some cans of string beans in the grocery cart.

"I'm sorry Claire Bear I just think you two need to talk this out. He's right, you're running from him and nothing good is ever going to come out of it." I told her.

"Jeff, you should be taking my side." She said with her country twang. I sighed heavily.

"Claire I can't take sides on this. Yea okay Riley was wrong in a sense for not telling you, but you were wrong for running away. It was his daughter Claire. His only daughter. Everyone blamed him, he probably felt like he had no where else to go from there and like if he told you that you'd blame him as well. That feeling sucks." I said trying to explain to her. Trying to make her open her pretty blue eyes and see the reality.

Claire stared at me for a moment before staring at a bag of frozen vegetables in her hands. I could see her face turning red and her hands starting to shake. Well this wasn't my intention.

"Belle I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." I said quietly.

"No." She said shaking her little blonde head. "You're right. Jeff. Can I ask you something?"

"Always." I said.

"Have you ever felt like being with Addy was a mistake? Or like it was a trick or something, because deep down inside you know that you don't deserve so good and pure when you're so fucked up." I went to the tiny woman and hugged her tightly as she cried in my arms.

"Is this what this is really about Claire? You fill like you're not good enough so you're just taking the easy way out?" I asked her. I could feel her nod against my chest and I rubbed her back squeezing her a tad bit tighter.

"I figured that if I left him he wouldn't have the chance to leave me." She sobbed.

"Claire he wouldn't do that you." I told her. "Look at me Claire. Look at me." I said holding her away from me. She wiped at her nose quickly staring me in my eyes as I stared in hers.

"Claire Leanna Scott." I said using her maiden name. "You are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Any man would be lucky to have you and if Addison wasn't around I would just about break my neck to be that man. You are so special and unique. Yes okay you've had your problems, but look at you now! You're married Claire. To a man that wants nothing more than to love you and be there for you. Don't let your past ruin your future." I leaned in and planted a long lasting kiss on her forehead and hugged her again to let her know I was there for her. I just hoped she realized I wasn't the only one.

…...

There was a knock on the door and a big smile appeared on my face. I knew who it was. The girls and I were so happy. I hadn't seen Chloe in a long time and Reagan had never really met her. Fallon only had bleak memories. The three of us raced downstairs to the front door opening it and throwing ourselves at the young girl.

"Chloe!" I exclaimed. "Good grief it's been forever!"

"Tell me about it Addy! How have you been cousin? I heard you and Jeff were ehh." She said.

"Well actually we're much better. We made up last week. He's moved back in and everything." I told her with a huge victory grin.

"That is so great." She said. She looked down and smiled widely at the girls. "Hey Phoenix! Oh and I bet this cute little kid is Reagan huh!?" She exclaimed picking the little girl up. Reagan laughed and giggled full of excitement and joy. She'd always wanted to meet Chloe.

"Do you even know who I am?" Chloe asked. Reagan nodded.

"You're my computer friend!" Reagan said.

"But what's my name pretty girl?" She asked.

"Clover?" Reagan asked.

"Hmm, try Chloe kid." She laughed.

"That's a pretty name Chloe." Reagan said.

"C'mon Reagan." I said taking her from Chloe and setting her down. "Chloe let's go on in and we can have some tea or something."

"Yea sure." Chloe followed me and the girls into the kitchen and sat at the table.

"You guys redecorated. It looks nice." She complimented.

"Thanks, it was pretty recent. We got bored with the old design." I told her pouring the four of us some tea.

"Have you met Reby yet?" She asked. I smirked looking up at her.

"Oh have I?"

::Flashback::

Jeff, the girls, and I were going over to Matt's for dinner that night. He wanted us to meet his new girlfriend. I personally didn't want to meet her because she wasn't Amy, but I'd promised Jeff that I'd be on my best behavior and give her a chance.

"Mama I'm cold." Fallon said.

"You'll warm up as soon as we get inside I promise. Just a few more steps." I smiled. We approached the front door and knocked. Jeff was holding Reagan in his arms. She was sleepy from the ride over here.

"Hey!" Matt said opening the door.

"Cold!" Fallon exclaimed. Matt leaned down and picked scooped Fallon up into his arms kissing her cheek.

"Hey there baby girl! Come on in guys." He said stepping inside. Jeff and I entered the warm and cozy house and Matt shut the door behind us. "Still cold sweetie?"

"No, it's warm in here." Fallon said.

"Good. Thanks for coming Jeff, Addy." Matt said.

"No problem Matt. Anything for you bro." Jeff said.

"Well hello everyone." Jeff and I turned to see a gorgeous girl walking towards us from the kitchen.

"Hi. I'm Jeff, this is my wife Addison and my girls Fallon and Reagan." Jeff said introducing us.

"Oh you don't have to tell me who you are, trust me I already know." She said smiling coyly at him. I couldn't help the quirk that happened in my eyebrow. I cleared my throat and extended my hand to the light brown haired woman. She took her time shaking it and then turned her attention back to Jeff.

"So Jeff, I don't know if you this, but I'm an independent wrestler." She smiled.

"Actually yea I've heard of you a couple times." Jeff smiled.

"Maybe you could..teach me a few moves?" She winked.

"Oh isn't too bad?" I started. "Jeff is gonna break his leg tonight so he won't even be learning any new moves himself."

::End of Flashback::

"Wow she hit on him!?" Chloe laughed.

"Yes she did. I was so appalled, but I promise that was the only mean thing I said to her all night. Just had to make sure she understood that Jeff was mine." I laughed.

"Wow, well I met her last week. She was really iffy if you know what I mean." She said.

"Speaking of that, why did it take you a whole week to come visit me?" I asked her sipping the tea.

"I was hanging out with Mama Juniper and my dad. A lot of catching up to do with them. Looks like our tight little family fell apart huh?" I knew what she was referring to. Marcy leaving. Lucas was never an absolute family member, but he felt like he was on his way. My mom running off and Savannah high tailing and Kristen ditching her own family. I hadn't heard from Marcy not once and deep inside it kind of hurt. The little sister I'd loved so much all my life had just jumped ship and left me stranded without her. I wondered if she and that guy had settled down. I wondered why she'd cheated. I wondered a lot of things that I wouldn't get answers to without talking to her. I talked to my mom almost every weekend. She was doing good. So was grandpa. I still missed Grammy like hell though. I still cried over her sometimes. Savannah had opened up her own little salon in Germany. I was happy for her. Kristen, Jeff missed her whether he'd admit it or not.

"Yea." I nodded. "We did fall apart. We did."

…...
