Nina's POV

"Alright Lilly, time for bed." I said to the happy little 5 year old that is my daughter.

"But Mommy..."

"No buts. It's an hour past your bedtime." She climbed into her bed frowning. "What's wrong, buttercup?"

"Daddy would let me stay up."

"But daddy's...daddy's not here." Her hazel eyes looked so mournful."Come here." I said pulling her into a hug as I sat on the foot of her bed."I'm here and I care about you. I love you."

"I love you too Mommy." said my little girl kissing my cheek and burying herself under the blankets.

"Goodnight, baby bear." I said turning off the lights.

"Goodnight mama bear."

{1 hour later}

"Amber I just feel like he not only cheated on me but he cheated her too. I mean Lilly is 4 and she already gets that her dad left her." I stated over the phone as I sat on my bed watching Titanic for the billionth time.

"Nina, Fabian just needs sometime to get things straight."

"I think he's had enough time to think I mean he left a note saying that he was moving to...Costa Rica to be with some red-head that works at the coffee shop down the street."

"Okay, Nina, I just want you to be happy...I know just the thing...online dating."

"NO."

"Yes, yes. I mean that's how I fell back in love with Mick. And now look at us, marriage and two kids later."

"Ambs, everything always goes you're way. Your life is perfect."

"And yours is too. I love what you have with Lilly. You have a New York apartment downtown that's not even 10 minutes away from Times Square, an amazing mother-daughter relationship that every mom wants. And she listens to you and is grateful for everything you give her. Emma and Ethan are two greedy little brats that have to have everything they want. Look who got the better end of that bargain."

"I guess Ambs. We just move in 3 days ago though. I don't even know anyone here. "

"But you will soon... No Emma sweety, you're supposed to let the polish dry... I gotta go but I'll come over tomorrow."

"Alright bye Ambs. Tell Mick and the kids I said hi."

"Night Neens."

Eddie's POV

"Got to sleep Henry it's nearly 10 o'clock it's getting late."

"Yes dad." said the 5-year-old jumping off the couch and running to his room.

"Night Hen!" I yelled after him.

"Night dad!"he yelled back. Dad. The word you never get used to. Especially when you're not hearing Mom right after it. After graduation, Patricia got pregnant with Henry. When he turned 1, I woke up in the middle of the night to her packing her stuff. She said that she was running back to England with a drama teacher from a nearby school. Rob, his name was. Meanwhile, I was abandoned here in New York with our son. My life has only gotten worse since I lost my powers with the single highlight of Hen's birth. I still feel bad about it. Not only did I loose my powers but Nina lost her's too. I here she got with Fabian when he and Mara broke up after a one night stand. There's no telling what her life is like now. My phone is buzzing who is it now? Jerome.

"Hey Jerry."

"hey Eddie, Guess what...it's a boy." he said referring to the baby Joy apparently just had.

"Awesome buddy."

"Yea and guess what his name is...Edison Maxwell Clarke."

"You named him after me?"

"Of course. You're like a brother to me. Plus I don't want him walking around named Alfie, now do I?"

"Well I guess not."

"Um..I..I gotta go."

"Oh okay congrats."

"Thanks Ed. Bye." There goes another Anubis alumni baby. I looked at the clock 10:30. Well someone has to take Henry to school in the morning. Off to bed I go.
