{ Sierra }

Oakley is with me for the next couple of days. Ashton wanted to test out how Oakley would do if she stayed behind while they toured North America. Last night she did fine, but we will see how the morning goes.

I got up early and let Petunia and Bear out in the backyard. Bear is the easiest dog I've ever dog sat because he literally does nothing. Ashton chose the laziest dog ever. Once they both came back in, I started making breakfast. Oakley had requested pancakes and bacon, so that's what I'm making.

Oakley stumbled in rubbing her eyes at 8:00. She walked right to me and hugged my legs. Oakley's always a cuddly person when she wakes up and when she's about to fall asleep,

"Good morning Oaks" I smiled, kneeling down and hugging her,

"Call Daddy?" she asked with a pout,

"Yeah, we can call him. How about we eat first then we will call him" I suggested. She nodded and I stood back up. I thought she'd go and watch tv but she stayed right next to me instead,

"Si Si?" Oakley spoke and tugged at the bottom of my shirt, "When Daddy come home?"

"In a few days" I answered, glancing down,

"He weave me wike Mommy?" she asked, making my heart break. I quickly plated our breakfast and knelt back down, pulling her into a hug,

"No, not like Mommy. Daddy's going to be back in a couple of days. He's gonna give you a big hug. Daddy won't ever leave you" I promised her,

"Uncle Wuke come home too?" she questioned,

"Yeah, Uncle Luke too"

After lunch, Oakley and I decided to meet up with Crystal and go get ice cream. I've been trying to keep her distracted all day because she just keeps asking about Ashton. I'm trying to get her mind off of it.

We walked in the shop and Oakley ran up to the counter. Crystal laughed and picked her up so she could see all the ice cream flavors. As always, she decided on chocolate in a cup. After Crystal and I ordered as well, we went outside to sit on the little bench,

"Is your ice cream good?" I asked a after a minute and seeing most of it on her face. Oakley nodded making Crystal laugh too and wipe her face off.

Just as Oakley was going to tell us something, a voice caught us off guard,

"Mommy!" Oakley gasped making Crystal and I stand and turn to see KayKay. Before I could grab Oakley, she ran and hugged her mom,

"Kay, what are you doing here?" I asked, motioning Oakley to come back. Luckily she listened and did so, making me pick her up,

"I see Ashton's already dumped her" Kay snorted,

"He didn't dump her. You did. He's working for a few days" Crystal spoke,

"Mommy come home?" Oakley asked, her lip pouted,

"Not to Daddy's" KayKay answered, making my eyes narrow, "Mommy shouldn't have left you here with him. You can come live with Mommy soon and get away from him"

"Oh hell no" I spoke, "Leave"

"Fine" she huffed, "But let Ash know I'm coming back"

{ Ashton }

"Have you called Oakley yet?" Calum asked as I walked into the dressing room,

"No. I'm trying to wait until she at least wakes up from a nap" I sighed, "According to Sierra, today has not gone well so far"

I thought Oakley would be okay but she's not. She has so much anxiety about me leaving like Kay did. I would never leave my daughter the way Kay did. It's going to take a lot of reassurance to assure her that I will always come home to her,

"How are you doing without her?" Michael questioned,

"It's hard" I shrugged, "I knew it would be tough but not this tough"

I've been with Oakley almost every moment of her life. She always wakes me up or I wake her up with cuddles and tv,

"Call Si right fucking now" Luke piped in, launching my phone at me,

"Why? What's wrong?" I panicked, already dialing her,

"I don't know. She said you need to call her immediately" he replied. I nodded and kept waiting for it to be picked up.

Finally, Sierra's face popped up on the screen,

"We've got a fucking problem" she shot out, making all the guys gather around,

"What's going on?" I asked,

"Crys and I took Oakley to get ice cream today and KayKay showed up" she spoke, making my jaw tighten, "I think she's trying to take Oakley away again"

"No no no fuck no" I panicked, pulling at my hair, "No fucking way"

"She told Oakley that she would be with her soon" Sierra stressed,

"How's Oakley?" I asked, not really knowing how she'd handle seeing Kay,

"She's okay. She hugged Kay but that was it. I don't think she knows how she feels" Sierra sighed, "Oakley is going to have to go on tour with you"

"She most definitely is" I nodded, "Would you and Crys be able to join?"

"We should" she nodded.

I thanked her as I heard my baby's voice in the background,

"Daddy!" She beamed as she saw me,

"Hi baby girl. I miss you" I cooed,

"Miss you Daddy" she nodded,

"Are you okay after seeing Mommy?" I asked next, trying to gauge emotion to help Sierra and Crystal the next couple of days.

"I don't weave you Daddy" she cried,

"Baby you won't leave me. Look when Daddy gets home you won't be away from me again" I told her, making a promise,

"Daddy come home" she whined,

"I'll be home super soon baby"

She nodded and accepted that.

After seeing how sad my daughter was, I'm praying to the gods above that Kay is just sending empty threats
