As AJ started to pack for Becka for their trip to New York for Sky's wedding. He was trying to keep himself busy so that he wouldn't have to worry about what Sky was doing. He started to pack Becka's bag as she stood there and watched. "Daddy look it! Pooh talks!" Becka said watching her new Pooh bear and Tigger toys.

AJ stopped and looked at Becka, who for last few months he had ignored. He had Sky on his mind who he was really worried about. "Come here sweetie." he said as she walked with both animals in her arms to him. "What daddy?" she asked in the innocent 3 year old tone.

AJ laughed, picking her up and placing her on his lap. "Do you like them?" he asked her. "Yes, Pooh talks to Tigger. I lub it daddy!" she exclaimed.

AJ hugged her tightly. "I love you too pumpkin." he said to her giving her a kiss on the head.

"Daddy, can we play before we get to the airplane?" she asked holding Tigger towards him. He nodded his head, and she jumped off of him and sat on the floor. "Okay daddy, you talk to Tigger." She said as they stared to play.

On the plane, AJ took the scared Becka on his lap. "Baby, don't be scared, your going to be on these things a lot while I'm on tour." he said to her. "You tired?" he asked looking at her eyes. "Yes Daddy, but I'm scared, that we are going to get hurt."

He laughed. "We won't get hurt, maybe Mickey will, but not you. Your too sweet to get hurt. I'll protect you, I'll always protect you." he said.

He looked over at Brian and Nick who were talking, then he looked over at Howie who was sitting next to him, listening to music. Then he looked around for Kevin, who stopped talking to him months ago. AJ never really thought about it, between talking to Sky and worrying about it. To raising Becka by himself. He closed his eyes when he heard his name. "What?" he said not opening his eyes.

"AJ, what's wrong? You've been to yourself lately." Howie said.

"I don't know, I've got Becks and then I got Sky going out of my life what am I going to do?" Howie looked at him. "Sky's just moving to New York. She's not going out of your life."

"But she's been living next to me forever. And now she gets up and leaves? Plus she's told me that she would help with Becks, and that's not going to happen the way that Becka is used to." AJ said rubbing his daughter's back.

"AJ you could always visit her, and she can visit you guys. You two are friends and not even being thousands of miles away should stop either of you." AJ sighed and smiled at Howie. "Thanks D." he said.

"No problem anything else?" AJ sighed. "Why has Kev just stopped talking to me and just ignored me. We start rehearsals next week. So he has to talk to me, but he just saw that I have a kid and boom he's gone."

"Well, he's told me that he doesn't believe that Becka is yours. He thinks that some girl found out where you were and dropped her off there. But we all know that even if you found out that she wasn't yours you would still treat her like your own."

"Yeah, she's mine. I don't care but you know I do want to know if she is mine, and who her real mother is." AJ said rubbing Becka's back and yawning.

"Look man, go get some sleep. Then we will see Sky and talk to her, she knows what to tell you." AJ smiled, "Thanks. But I promised Becks that I wouldn't let anything happen to her, and she's sleeping so I'm just going to watch her." he said looking at Howie. "Dude she's got you in a knot."

"Yup, yup." AJ said with a smile as Howie put his headphones on and went to sleep.
