"Hey Kevin you're making too much finger noises!" Tommy called into the mike. On the other side of the glass, a young teen of about 16 looked up, confused. Kwest shook his head.

"Man, you okay?" Tommy motioned for Kevin to continue recording. He looked over at Kwest.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Tommy replied, busying himself with the soundboard. He cringed when he heard the slight sound of a string being brushed against.

"I don't know, maybe because poor Kevin in there has been dealing with your Mr. Perfection act all morning. Give the kid a break and tell me what's going on." Kwest insisted. Tommy cut the music, leaning over to speak into the mike.

"Hey, Kevin we're gonna take a quick break, okay?" Kevin nodded, grateful, before running out of the studio.

"Well?" Kwest pushed. Tommy erased the recording they had just finished.

"Well what, I'm fine." Tommy replied, not turning to face his friend.

"Yeah right, just tell me before Kevin hurts himself trying to play to your standards." Tommy glanced at Kwest, rolling his eyes. Kwest could be such a drama queen. Kwest fixed him with a look that eerily reminded him of Sadie.

"I guess I'm just a little upset at the fact that Jude and I can't find any alone time." Kwest nodded.

"Man you think you've got it hard? Try living with twin five year olds. There is no time for ANYTHING!" Kwest cried. Tommy laughed.

"Well even when we are alone it just seems like one of us always has somewhere else to be."

"So where is the lovely Mrs. Quincy?" Kwest asked. Tommy leaned back, letting out a deep breath.

"Some investor's meeting downtown with Darius. He works her too hard." Kwest slapped Tommy on the shoulder.

"Maybe you two should think about going on a mini vacation. Hell, I wouldn't mind going on a vacation." Tommy laughed. Kwest and Sadie's twin girls, Bridgette and Pierre were certainly a handful. Tommy always thought that they were a lot like how he envisioned Sadie when she was younger. For that, he apologized to both Kwest and Jude, for the fact that Jude had to grow up with Sadie and Kwest was stuck raising two mini Sadie's.

Jude walked into her home, exhausted after her three hour long meeting. She heard the TV on in the living room, so she headed in there. Noelle was lounging on the couch, a bag of chips next to her.

"Hi mom!" She called from her spot on the couch. Jude smiled at her daughter.

"Hey sweetie. Is your dad home?" She asked, slipping out of her shoes. Noelle shook her head.

"Nope, I haven't seen him since last night." Jude nodded, heading up the stairs.

"Okay, well he if comes home soon, I'm gonna be upstairs taking a nap." Noelle nodded as Jude disappeared into her bedroom. She threw her shoes into her walk in closet.

"I hope I never have to wear those shoes again." She cringed. She hated those shoes. Jude began changing out of her business clothes and into a more comfortable outfit of jeans and an old band t-shirt. She surveyed her bedroom, her gaze stopping on her dresser where a plethora of pictures were. She stared at each picture, documenting such important moments in her life.

There was a picture from like a million years ago of Jude, Sadie and their parents, back when they were still a happy family. One of Jude on stage the day she won Instant Star. A picture of Jude and Tommy from her first album release. Another one of Jude in the hospital holding a newborn Noelle. A bunch of pictures of Noelle from school, one from each year. There was a picture of Sadie and Kwest on their wedding day. A picture of Jude and Tommy from that day. A picture of Jude holding her infant nieces. Noelle playing with her young cousins.

Jude stopped and picked up her favorite picture. It was from Jude and Tommy's wedding. The smiles on both of their faces were huge and bright. It had been a beautiful day. Tommy had gotten his wish of getting married at Whitfield Park. Jude had given up her idea of a wedding to make Tommy happy. But hey, if he was happy so was she!

Jude set the picture back down. She stared at the pictures a little while longer, until she heard her bedroom door open. She turned to see Tommy walking in.

"Hey," She smiled walking over to him, kissing him on the lips. Tommy wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in for a hug.

"What are you doing?" He asked, kissing the top of her head. Jude snuggled deeper into his chest.

"I was looking at our wedding picture." Tommy smiled into her hair.

"That's one of my favorite days." He grinned. Jude pulled away.

"What are your other favorite days?" She asked. Tommy shrugged.

"Only the day we met, all of the times we kissed… need I continue?" Jude laughed.

"No, I get it." She sighed, sitting down on the bed. "We really need some time together, don't we?" She asked, looking up at him.

"Actually, Kwest and I were talking-" Tommy was interrupted by a knock on the door and Noelle entering.

"Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt." Jude shook her head.

"What is it?" She asked, looking at her daughter.

"Katie called and wanted to know if I could spend the night." Jude glanced at Tommy, waiting for him to decide.

"Is her mom going to pick you up?" Tommy asked her. Noelle nodded.

"Yeah, she's going to drop us off at the movies, so I'll need money, and then I'll just go back with her to her house." Tommy looked at Jude, both deciding. Noelle looked between her parents. Tommy turned to face her.

"Okay, just be safe." Noelle jumped for joy, before holding her hand out.

"I'm gonna need 20 dollars." Tommy gave her a look.

"20 dollars!" He cried. Noelle rolled her eyes.

"For the movie ticket, duh!" Tommy begrudgingly pulled out his wallet, handing her a 20 dollar bill.

"But I want change." Noelle nodded. A honk sounded from outside. She gave both her parents a quick hug and a kiss before racing out the door.

"See you guys tomorrow!" She called. Jude and Tommy waited until they heard the door slam shut.

"How long do you think she'll be gone?" Tommy asked.

"A while." Jude stated, pulling Tommy down onto the bed with her.

"Thank you god!" Tommy called. Jude laughed.

"So what were you saying about Kwest?" Jude asked. Tommy shook his head, leaning in towards Jude's mouth.

"I totally forgot." Jude smirked.

"Right," Tommy cut her off with his lips.

"Don't ruin the moment." He said, recapturing her lips with his.
