Chapter 1
"Daddy don't go." Skye said as she jumped into
Kevin's arms
"Baby, I don't want to, but me and Uncle Brian and Uncle AJ and Uncle Nick and Uncle Howie have to sing"
"Fine then. Leave."
"Skye don't be like that. Don't be mad. I would never leave you if it weren't my job. The guys and I love to sing. It makes people happy." Kevin set her down on her bed.
"What about me? I get sad when you leave. Don't go daddy."
"I don't want to. I really don't"
"Then don't."
Kevin leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. "Come on, mommy is waiting for us."
"I'm not hungry. I don't feel well."
"Come on. Your just upset cause I'm leaving."
He carried her downstairs on his back. That night at dinner Skye didn't say a word, she just played with her food. She went up to her room and went to sleep. Kevin told her he would check on her later. He and Jaime, his wife, just sat in front of the fire talking.
"Why do you have to go tomorrow? You just got back." Jaime whispered.
"I've been home a month."
"So? Why can't you be at home more often?"
"At least we will still be in the US. We're not going to Europe or anything."
"Yeah, but still. Your always gone."
"I hate leaving you two. You guys mean the world to me. It's just that making music is something I've always wanted to do. It is not however my whole life."
"Skye is so upset this time. It has never bugged her like this before. I don't understand it."
"I know. She's just realizing how much I am actually gone."
"Yeah. She's daddy's little girl"
"Oh yeah, definitely. I love her so much." He looked at Jaime and saw that she was staring at him.
"What? Why are you staring at me?"
"Sometimes I look at her and I see you. Your green eyes, your skin tone, your hair. It's amazing."
"Thank god she doesn't have my eyebrows."
"But they're so sexy."
"Oh, really? You think so?" Kevin replied as he leaned in for a kiss. They began to kiss more intensely, then Kevin stopped."What?"
"I promised Skye I would check on her."
"Ok. I'll be waiting on our room."
Kevin ran upstairs. Skye was fast asleep. She was still fully clothed. Kevin didn't want to wake so he just put her under her blankets. He knelt beside her bed and just watched her sleep for awhile. He kissed her on her forehead and whispered,
"Goodnight. I'll miss you"
He walked into her bedroom.
"What took you so long?"
"When did you.I just watched her sleep for awhile.."
"You are really gonna miss her huh?"
"Of course. She is just so cute."
That morning Kevin left before Jaime and Skye were awake. He would later regret ever leaving.
