"Rose you coming downstairs," Josh shouted after ten minutes waiting for Rose.

"Yeah coming," Rose said appearing at the top of the stairs.

"Good," Josh said with a small smile.

"I need to go and get your brother I'll be back in about half an hour," Kurt said as he walked out of the kitchen.

"I thought Papa was with Jude," Rose said confused.

"No, I need to get Jake his car broke down," Kurt said as he grabbed his car keys.

"Okay. But I thought Jake wasn't coming home till tomorrow." Rose said still confused.

"So did I. I'll see you in a bit," Kurt said as he left the house.

"You okay?" Josh asked looking over at his little sister.

"Yeah. I'm gonna be okay." Rose said before walking into the living room to see her nieces and nephews.

Half an hour later.

"I don't care what was going on you should have been paying more attention to the rode," Kurt shouted at Jake as they walked through the door.

"It was an accident," Jake shouted back.

"You could have really gotten heart. You need to be more careful." Kurt said a little bit quieter.

"Yeah. Whatever." Jake said before walking upstairs.

"What happened?" Josh asked walking out of the living room.

"He crashed his car," Kurt told Josh. "Then asked for me to pay to get it fixed," Kurt said not sounding happy at all.

"What are you going to do?" Josh asked as he and Kurt walked through to the Kitchen.

"I'm not going to pay to fix his car," Kurt said as he turned the kettle on.
"He's 21 he can get a job and fix his own car."

"I thought he did have a job," Josh asked confused.

"He did. Got fired two weeks ago." Kurt said with a sigh.

"I always thought Jake would move out at 18. Not still be living here at 21 with no job." Josh told his dad.

"So did I," Kurt said as he made himself a cup of coffee. "Want a coffee?"

"No thanks. I had about four cups on the way here." Josh told Kurt with a laugh. "What do you and Noah want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing to worry about." Was all Kurt said with a small knowing smile?

"Okay. You think you and Noah can watch the kids tomorrow I was planning on taking Rose out shopping. as I missed her birthday last week." Josh said as Kurt seat down opposite him.

"Yeah of cause we will," Kurt said with a small smile. "Can't wait to spend more time with my grandchildren."

"Thanks, dad. I feel really bad for not being here. And I wanted to do something nice." Josh said before standing up. "I'm going to go see if Rose is okay in there."

"And I'm going to talk to your brother," Kurt said with an exhausted sigh.

"Have fun with that," Josh said as he walked out of the room. Knowing how difficult his brother could be.

"You guys having fun?" Josh asked as he walked into the living room.

"Yeah," Tommy said as he looked over at his dad.

"Lots of fun," Rose said with a smile.

"You know when Noah's getting back?" Josh asked his younger sister.

"Should be back soon. Why?"

"Just wondering," Josh said as Erin started to cry.

"What's going between dad and Jake?" Rose asked as Josh walked over to the travel coat to get Erin.

"Jake crashed his car and wants dad to pay to get it fixed," Josh said as he picked Erin up.

"And dad's not going to pay to have it fixed." Rose guessed as she stood up.

"Yep. Says that if Jake wants his car fixed he needs to get a job." Josh said as Erin quietened down.

"He says that all the time but usually ends up giving in," Rose said as Josh seat down next to her.

"I don't think that's going to happen this time. From what I heard Jake could have gotten heart." Josh said as he bounced Erin on his knee making her laugh.

"We'll just have to wait and see," Rose said as she reached over and tickled Erin's tummy.

"I was thinking you and I could go out shopping tomorrow and I could buy you your belated birthday gift and we could talk about what is happening," Josh said to his sister.

Rose stilled looking over at her brother. "I don't really want to talk about what's going on, but I would love to go out shopping tomorrow."

Josh looked back over at his sister before nodding. "okay we won't talk about it."

"Thanks." Rose said as the front door opened and Noah and Jude walking in the door. "hey guys." Rose shouted making all three of then look into the living room.

"Josh," Jude said when he noticed his brother before walking over and sitting next to him.

"Hey, Buddy," Josh said with a huge smile. "Hey, Noah."

"Hey Josh," Noah said to his step-son as he seat down Jude's new guitar. "How you been?"

"Great. A pit stressed with Lily not being here but good. You." Josh said as Noah walked into the living room.

"Busy but good," Noah said as he seat down on the armchair. "Are Harmony and Willow home yet?" Noah asked looking over at his oldest daughter.

"No, not yet," Rose said as she looked over at the cloke. "But they should have gotten home about half an hour ago. do you want me to call them?"

"Please," Noah said as he to looked over at the cloak.

"be back in a minute," Rose said as she left the room before walking up the stairs to her room.

Rose grabbed her phone, unlocking it before calling Harmony.

"Hey." Harmony said as she answered the phone.

"where are you?" Rose asked as she seat down on her bed.

"on our way home. why?" Harmony asked the sounds of cars loud in the background.
"because you were supposed to be home half an hour ago and we were wondering where you where," Rose said sighing.

"were almost home should be back in the next ten minutes." Harmony told her big sister.

"okay. see you in a bit." Rose said before hanging up and laying back on her bed.

Rose sighed as she thought about everything that was going to change in the next few months.

the next year of her life was going to be really hard but she had an amazing family by her side to help her through all the tough spots and Rose know deep down that everything was going to be okay.
