Unexpected

18.

I woke up from my alarm clock. I groaned and turned it off. It was still incredibly early but i needed to bring Becky and Jack to school. So that's why my alarm ringed 20 minutes ealier than usual.

I needed those 20 minutes to wake them up because i knew that they weren't morning people.

I first got ready myself, i took a shower and put my shrubs on because i was to lazy to change at work.

I walked downstairs and saw Ashton sitting on the couch.

"You're up early." I said confused to him. He always stood up later then the rest of us because he could get ready within a minute.

"Yeah, i couldn't sleep anymore." He said in a tired voice.

I went to sit next to him. "What's troubling you?"

He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "This whole situation with Diana. I just feel so powerless. Like i know that i need to respect her decision but i also want her to change it."

I put my arm around him. "I know that this is hard for you. But you need to be there for Jack and Becky. Diana might not see how much  those kids need her. So you need to be there for them now."

He nodded. "It's just feels like i don't even know her anymore. I'm even afraid that she is the reason that Becky has troube showing her emotions."

I sighed. "Yeah, I've noticed that to."

"I'm going to talk to her about it tonight." He said firmly.

We both talked for a little longer until it was time for me to wake Jack and Becky.

I first went to Jack's room because he was very slow in the morning. But when I opened the door i saw that his bed was empty.

I immediately panicked and walked towards Becky's room, hoping that he would be there.

I opened Becky's door and immediately sighed relieved. Jack was laying next to Becky, they were both still sleeping.

I kneeled down next to her bed. "Wake up sleepy heads." I said softly.

Becky was the first the open her eyes. She blinked a few times before she realised that it was me.

She shook Jack."wake up, it's time for school."

Jack groaned while he slowly opened his eyes.
"Why aren't you in your own bed?" I asked him once he was awake.

"I had a nightmare about the closet monster." He said a bit embarrassed.

"Was this the first time you had a nightmare about that?"

He nodded.

I lifted him out of bed and carried him to the door.

I turned around to Becky before i closed the door. "We're leaving in 45 minutes."

She gave me a thumbs up.

I walked Jack back to his room. I needed to talk to Ashton and Diana about this nightmare problem. But it would probably have to wait until tomorrow when he had the check up.

I also said to Jack that he had to ready in 45 minutes.

I walked back downstairs and waited for them to ready.

Jack was the first one downstairs. He bounced around the kitchen. He definitely was happy to go back to school.

Becky came downstairs 5 minutes before I was planning on leaving.
