It's Bullseye! I think we should reward Shadow, she's been an amazing author and her storylines are amazing. I didn't expect that in the last chapter, so this is going to be interesting. Enjoy.

Shadow stumbled through the door she walked into the kitchen where Riley left a meal for her, she had to work until 1am because everyone else was sick, she also wanted some extra for Christmas. Riley couldn't work because someone needed to look after the kids, and since Riley couldn't handle office work, Shadow had to take it up. Riley did offer to go to work so she could spend time with the kids, but Shadow declined saying he couldn't handle the amount of work.

"Hey" She turned around and saw Riley with two cups of coffee, she smiled and took one of them, kissing his cheek in the process. "You work way too much"

"It's for our family" Shadow put her dinner in the microwave. "Anything happen today?"

"No" Riley smiled, he sat down next Shadow, who was silently eating her meal. "Actually, I think something did happen"

Shadow looked at Riley, she frowned knowing what this meant.

"It was Eric, not Sophia" This took Shadow by surprise.

"How?" Riley shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, Sophia screamed and I told them that you would explain" Riley rubbed the back of his head. "It's catching up, isn't it?"

"Yeah, what should we do?" Shadow hugged Riley's arm.

"Call your brother?" Shadow squeezed Riley's arm.

"He and Luke will try to recruit our kids" Shadow drifted off against Riley, he smiled and picked her up. Riley carried Shadow upstairs, he put her into their bed and kisses her forehead. After he was done making sure she was comfortable, he walked downstairs and picked up the phone.

The next morning, Shadow rolled over in the bed. Next to her was Sophia and Eric, they were soundly sleeping. Shadow couldn't see Riley though, she sat up and looked around, he wasn't in the room. Shadow went downstairs, she couldn't hear anything. She walked into the kitchen, there was note a note saying 'Covering you at work, take the day off' Shadow sighed and started making breakfast.

"Just like our first date" She chuckled, Shadow debated using the force to check on Riley. She wanted to see how well he was doing, but didn't want to alarm the kids. After a few minutes of thinking, she decided to use it. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, she felt Riley's waves of stress, bliss and depression. Shadow felt bad about Riley having to cover her, but she got a day with her kids.

"Mom?" Sophia said, she had fright in her voice.

"Yes sweetie" Shadow knew where this was going.

"I felt something, it felt tingly" Shadow was confused, she never got that.

"What do you mean?" She sat down with Sophia, she smiled at the 10 year old girl.

"Something special, but then I felt cold and lonely" She frowned, but then smiled. "Then I felt dad"

"You felt him?" Sophia nodded her head, she looked so happy.

"Where is dad?" Sophia asked, she looked around the kitchen expecting to find him.

"He's gone to work" Shadow went to continue breakfast.

"Dad can work?" Shadow giggled at the question, she always thought the same. "That means we get to spend the day with you!"

"Yes it does" Shadow thought for a minute. "How about a story when Eric wakes up?"

"Yeah!" Sophia cheers. "What's for breakfast?"

"Pancakes" Shadow smiled.

"Yay!" Sophia jumped out her seat and hug Shadow. "Best mom ever"

"I'm not that great" Shadow said, she bent down and kissed Sophia's cheek. "What about your father?"

"Nope" Sophia smiled.

"Nope?" Shadow looked shocked, did Riley's own kids not like him? "I love your father"

"I know" Sophia said as Shadow started plating the pancakes. "I hear it every night"

"What do you hear?" Shadow asked as her whole face turns red.
"The kissing, the I love you" Sophia happily took a bite out of her pancake. "You and daddy love each other a lot"

"Yes we do" Shadow smiled at the memories, she really loved Riley.

"How did you meet?" Sophia put more syrup on her pancakes, Eric walked into the kitchen and plated his.

"We were both working, and one day we met each other" Shadow smiled.

"But how?" Sophia whined.

"I don't want to hear it" Eric shouted. "It's too sappy"

"Fine" Shadow leaned closer to the two. "How about a Jedi story?"

Both Sophia and Eric gasped, they nodded their heads frantically.

"Ok, long ago, there was a Jedi by the name of Qui Gon Jinn" Shadow watched the awe faces on her children. "Now, this Jedi taught his pupils in the way of the force"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""What's the force?" Eric asked curious.

"We'll talk about that later" Shadow ruffled Eric's hair. "Master Qui Gon taught a very important student called Obi Wan Kenobi, Kenobi would face a very difficult path. What ever he would do, might change the world"

"Wow" Sophia said. "Tell me more"

"Later" Shadow grinned and picked up her kids. "Now how about we go for a fly?"
