I would like to apologize for the delay in getting this updated. I am going to try to do better. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, read, and favorite. This story has had more reviews than any of my other stories, I truly appreciate it. I hope you enjoy this chapter, very little Will and JJ but JJ and Maddie.

JJ walked half way up the stairs, she could hear the moms talking about her announcement, she knew that snide comments could be made.

"Hey Hannah, could you come here for a minute?" She called up.

"Sure." As she stood up.

JJ waited for Hannah to come down the stairs before she went back down them. Hannah followed her into Emily's office.

"Something going on?" Hannah asked as she sat down.

"Kind of but it's not anything bad. I remembered Will saying that you were looking for something to do to get you out of the house."

"Yeah, momma's doing a lot better."

"I thought, if you wanted to, that you could help teach one of the trios."

"You both realize that I have not danced in years."

"We do but you are an amazing dancer and we would teach you the choreography."

"JJ, are you both sure about this?"

"Yes, we need help and we could give you the older girls."

"You know that means I will have one of my nieces."

"I do but like Emily pointed out when Will and I get married, I will be teaching three of my nieces. The mothers are going to have to get over it."

"Plus you will be teaching Maddie."

"Exactly and they all can say what they want but I will continue to teach her."

"Momma bear is coming out."

"Maybe. Are you willing to help?"

"Yes, but I would really like the older girls."

"Okay, I'll let Emily know. Since you will be taking over her Trio, I will find out when she wants to teach you the dance"

"Do you want me to tell the others?"

"Not yet. Tell them we were talking about the wedding, no don't Pen and Alex would be part of that, just come with something.

"Okay, stop stressing out." Hannah laughing.

JJ walked into the studio as Hannah was going back up the steps. She stood watching the girls, while Emily was telling each one of them what to do, this dance was ambitious she could only imagine what the other numbers were going to be like.

"Maddie, you have to keep your toes pointed when you flip."

"Nariah, you are not on the right count at all."

Emily called out. JJ noticed Maddie and Aubrey stop dancing and Mia almost collide into them.

"Girls if you stop dancing then you have to move out of the way." JJ told them.

Maddie went running to JJ, looking like she was going to cry. Aubrey was almost in tears.

"I don't know how to point my toes when I flip and Ms. Emily keeps yelling at me and Aubrey." Maddie whispered to JJ.

"Okay, but you have to stay in line and keep dancing."

JJ could tell that Maddie didn't like her answer, but she knew that she could show any favoritism in class.

"Okay."

"Ms. Emily, Maddie isn't sure how to keep her toes pointed while she flips to you think that one of the older girls could show her."

"Maddie, Aubrey or anyone else if you are not sure of something please tell me. I promise I won't be mad but I can't show you the right way if you don't speak up. I know this is a harder dance but I promise we will get through it."

Maddie and Aubrey shook their heads.

"I don't understand what I am supposed to be doing when Mia is dancing." Aubrey told her.

"I don't know how to point my toes." Maddie whispered.

"Why am I on the wrong count?" Nariah asked.

"Nariah you are on ten when you should be on five, you need to slow the count down in your head."

"Aubrey, Maddie I promise that I will go over your parts every day with you so will Ms. JJ. Mia, I want you to do the same flip that Maddie did please."

JJ moved so that she was standing behind Maddie, so Mia had plenty of room. Mia did the flip perfectly.

"Did you see how Mia's toes stayed pointed?" JJ asked.

"Yes."

"We are going to work on keeping yours to stay pointed like when you are turning."

"Why doesn't everyone go get a drink?" Emily suggested.

All the girls ran out of the room.

"You know Maddie is upset with me." JJ as she sat down next to Emily.

"She will be fine and I know that she will get her toes right."

"Doesn't make me feel any better."

"It's not the easiest thing teaching your child and finding the balance between mother and teacher. You will find it."

"I hope so because I hate disappointing her."

"What did Hannah say?"

"She would do it but she wants the older girls and she will need to be taught the choreography."

"Okay, I'll see if she can come in tomorrow around eleven and get her started."

"You get to tell the moms."

"Chicken."

"Yes, Yes I am because this is going to be interesting and I don't want to hear some of them complaining."

Three hours later

The girls were all wore out and so were JJ and Emily. Emily called all the moms back into the studio advising them of the new plan of Hannah teaching one of the trios, however she did not tell them which one yet. Hannah agreed to be at the studio at eleven the next morning. After the meeting everyone quickly said good – bye before heading home.

JJ texted Will from the car asking him to stop to pick something for dinner, since there were more options on his way home then hers.

"Daddy is going to stop to get something for dinner." She told Maddie.

"Okay."

"Please tell me what's wrong?"

"I'm tired and when I came to you during class you, I was upset but you still told me to go back to line."

"Sweetheart, when we are in class it is going to be hard sometime to comfort you. I am sorry that I didn't do a better job at it today because I love you."

"Why is it hard?"

"Because I have to be your teacher and your mom, so I have to figure out when is the best time to comfort you and when I have to be your teacher. No matter what I will always be mom first."

"Even now before you and daddy get married."

"Yes, I am always going to look out for you and do what I think is best."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

When they arrived home, JJ noticed that Will was already home. She helped Maddie out of the car before they headed towards the house. Once they were inside Will greeted them quickly.

"There are my girls."

Maddie ran to give him a hug.

"Hi, Angel."

"Hi daddy."

"Go wash up and we will get dinner ready."

"Okay." As she went running down the hall.

"Cher." Before he gave her a kiss.

"Hey, please tell me you got something simple." When they pulled away.

"Burgers and fries. Are you both tired?"

"Yes, this is going to be a long week. What if we eat in the living room, so Maddie can tell you about her last day of school?"

"Sounds like a plan, then I will put both of you to bed."

"After a hot bath."

"I will take care of both of my girls." As he lead her into the living room.

JJ and Will spent all of dinner listening to Maddie talking about her last day of school, then she told Will about dance. He now understand why JJ and Maddie were both tired. JJ also convinced him to go this weekend.

Please tell me what you think.
