Dan POV
I walked downstairs and saw Auri looking a bit taller. I ran over to her grabbed her by her stomach and stared kissing her stomach while she laughed like she was going to cry. Once I stopped and she calmed down I said,
"It looks like someone has got a visit from the growth elf."
"What is that?"
"It's when you grow, or at least that's what grandma used to say. I remember the second time I seen grandma I just turned 19 and she told me I had gotten a visit from the growth elf, daddy was soooo embarrassed. Best day of my life, other then the day we got you, Winnie, and Daddy and mines wedding." I stared smiling.
"Well, how much have I grown then dad?"
"So much! You are probably taller then me."
"Not quite." I turned to find the source of the answer to see Phil standing with his morning quiff and glasses, adorable. I kissed him on the cheek and said,
"I thought you were going to sleep forever!"
"Hey it's only 8:30 and Winnie is still sleeping so I win."
"Go wake him up will you? I want breakfast."
"Ok."
"HI DADDY!"
"Hi Auri." He kissed her head and walked to Winnie's room.
"Idiot." I said as I stared at Phil walking away, all of a sudden I was falling, I looked up and saw Auri was the one who did it. She was punching my stomach thinking she was hurting me and I was laughing the hardest I think I ever have. Then Phil came back in with Winnie and Auri jumped up to hug him I got up and checked my phone, I got a text from my dad. I hadn't talked to him in a while. I opened my phone and the text said,
'Dan, I have visited church recently. I know I told you I wouldn't go because they are against your relationship but, I couldn't help it. The lord is right. He always is. You and Phil are disgusting, utterly gross. Your mother has left me since I have brought this up and now she is going there. I will be there soon, I will take the kids and put them up for adoption. I WILL kill your mother. You will be going back to Manchester and will be under my control, as for Phil, he will die. I have teamed up with someone who wants you dead and he is willing to do anything for you to be dead. Little does he know the one he's after will die too. Good bye fag' I broke down. I started crying and showed Phil the message, he cried. Obviously we weren't full on sobbing just a simple year or two. I grabbed Auriella and Phil grabbed Winnie. I packed all of our bags and gave the kids a small breakfast. We left our beautiful apartment. Winnie and Auri were questioning the entire time. I picked up my cell phone and rung my mom.
"Daniel?"
"Mom, you can't come to London."
"Why? I just landed, is there something wrong sweetie?"
"Dad will be there."
"Oh, Where will you, Phil, and the kids go?"
"Exactly where you're going. LA."
"When did I say I was going there?"
"No choice. We have friends in LA that said they would take us in."
"Ok. I will be at the airport, right at the doors. I love you."
"I love you too mum."
"Send Phil and the kids my love too."
"Ok love you bye."
"Love you, Bye." I hung up and told Phil and the kids what she said.
"That's sweet." Phil said in a hushed tone, I looked into the backseat to see 2 children sound asleep. I was about to take a picture before we halted to a stop. I looked at Phil and he said,
"C'mon lets get the bags." I sighed in response. I am very upset I have to leave our affordable apartment, and we have to pull our kids away from an amazing environment to grow up in. Now we have to go to LA and stay with Cat, all of a sudden she called,
"Hi Dan."
"Hey Cat."
"I'm sorry Dan but I only have room for 2 people."
"Well we can't leave you with the kids."
"Um. See this is where it gets complicated, Phil and Auriella could stay with me." 
"But what about my mum?"
"Joey and Daniel said they would take in you and Winnie. As for your mum, she'll have to get a hotel." "I'm sorry Dan, tell Phil I'm sorry too."
"It's alright Cat. Our flight leaves in 2 hours so I will drop off Phil and Auriella there."
"Sorry again, I'll see you soon."
"See you soon." I turned to Phil to break the bad news,
"Phil, Cat said she can't have all five of us there so, my mum will stay in a hotel, you and Auriella will sta-"
"If you are about to suggest we stay or sleep apart for even one night I will cry."
"Let the rivers flow then. She arranged Winnie and I to stay at Joey and Daniels. You and Auri will stay with Cat." he got a sad expression "Don't worry. I'll come over everyday."
"Fine." I picked Winnie up off the ground and we headed to the doors of the airport. 2 bags in my hand and 2 in Phil's. When we walked to the doors we saw my mum gave our hugs and kisses. We headed to bag check. This is actually happening.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Phil whispered.
"Yeah I guess, I mean what other choice do we have?" All of a sudden he picked up Winnie from my arms and dipped me . He gave me the most passionate kiss I could only describe as one of the best. He had swept me off my feet right from the start and man, he can still sweep me off my feet by looking at me. The feeling when he looks at me is like I am the only person he could ever love. We broke apart and I whispered,
"I love you so much."
"I love you too. Bear."
