A/N: So I attempted to write a normal chapter for this story, but I kept getting stuck after each paragraph or whatnot so I'm going to take the break to come up with a better chapter for you all. Until then I hope you enjoy this Interlude in the meantime. Again I apologize that I have not given you a "real" chapter. I'm still deciding on what I want to do with it.

Interlude Two: My Baby is Growing Up

Sara walks around her kitchen shaking her head.

"I don't like this at all. Nope, this is not going to happen. She's my little girl. Nope no way is she leaving me."

Julian sat in a chair sipping orange juice as he watches his ex putter around the kitchen. He thought that this was really interesting. Never before had Sara showed any emotion like this. He was as calm as could be.

But today was a memory worth remembering. It was Sam's first day of kindergarten. Sara didn't like it, but Julian knew Sam had to go so he didn't mind. It was a plus to see Sara not her usually calm.

"Sara calm down. Sam is only going to be gone for a few hours. It's not a big deal."

Sara turns to Julian with a glare.

"Our daughter has spent every day with me and now she has to go off and not spend the day with me. I don't like it. School sucks."

Julian chuckles and shakes his head.

"I'm going to go wake up our daughter," Julian says as he walks out of the kitchen.

Sara takes a seat at the table with a huff. She didn't like this day one bit.

"Mommy!" Sam screams as she runs through the house with two shirts in her hand. "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"

Sara runs out of the kitchen and stops Sam from falling down and hurting herself.

"I'm right here sweetie, what's the matter?"

"What shirt?" Sam asks as she holds up both of them into her other's face.

One shirt was plan black and another one was pink and had a rainbow on it.

"Well I don't know sweetie. You are the one that is going to have to wear it."

Sam's lip starts to quiver.

"I-I-I can't choose."

Sara wraps her arms around her daughter. Sam was just so adorable sometimes.

"Alright, well let's go with the black shirt. It will go well with your jean skirt."

Sam grins and hugs her mom tightly.

"Thank you mommy."

"You're welcome sweetheart. Where is your daddy?"

"Getting my bag. It's almost time to go," Sam says before quickly pulling off her nightshirt and putting on her black one.

Sara fixes her daughter's hair, mumbling quietly.

"Don't remind me."

############

Sara buckles her daughter into the seat and gets into her own. Julian was sitting in the passenger seat with a small smile on his face. Sara looks at her ex with a raised eyebrow.

"What are you smiling about?"

"Our daughter is going to school. I love school. I wonder if she will be a whiz at math like me."

"It's kindergarten," Sara deadpans. "The most she's going to do is play and take a nap."

"Then why are you so freaked out by her leaving."

Sara frowns.

"Shut up."

Sam gasps in the backseat.

"Mommy shut up is a bad word."

Sara looks in the rearview mirror.

"Sorry baby, mommy will be better next time."

"Okay," Sam responds with a smile. She couldn't wait until school starts. She was going to make a bunch of friends and she was going to be a big girl and not a baby like her daddy always says.

##############

Sara, Julian and Sam got out of the car and Sara held her hand out for Sam to take, but when Sam didn't take it she turned around and was heartbroken at what she saw. Sam was sitting on the ground with her knees pulled to her chest. She looked scared.

"Julian," Sara says to get his attention.

Julian looks at Sara and then to his daughter. Julian nods his head and he and Sara kneel down next to their daughter.

"Baby, what's the matter?"

Sam frowned at her daddy's words. She wasn't a baby, but she stayed quiet.

"Sammy, look at me honey," Sara says in a soothing voice. Sam looks into her mother's eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I'm scared," Sam whispers.

"I know you are sweetheart, but you are going to be just fine and your daddy and I will be here to pick you up at the moment school ends."

"You promise," Sam asks with a sniffle.

Sara laughs and nods her head while she opens her arms.

"Of course."

Sam climbs into her mother's arms and rests her head on her shoulder.

"Will you be lonely mommy?"

"Yes," Sara responds honestly as she stands up. Julian doing the same. "But it's not very long. I think I can handle being away from you for a few hours."

"Okay," Sam responds quietly.

Sara grabs onto Julian's hand and they walk inside the school to drop their daughter off for her first day of kindergarten. Sam was definitely growing up; growing up into what was everyone's question.
