*Three Years Later*

AJ sat on the cold grass, with Becka on his lap, her head against his chest.

"Daddy?" now six year old Becka asked.

"What Becks?" AJ said.

"Is Sky still on that cloud?" she asked pointing to the one above them.

"Yeah, she is. Sky is watching us from where she belongs up in the sky."

"But why does that say Sky?" she asked pointing to her grave stone.

"Because when people leave us we need reminders that they were here and they are looking over us, like Sky is right now."

"That's good. I miss Sky."

"I do too Becks, but right now let's go and get some ice cream."

"Okay." Becka said getting up and looking at Sky's grave stone. "Have fun watching us Sky." she said and kissed the top of it.

While AJ walked up to the stone and kissed his fingers, and placed it on top of the stone. "Yeah, have fun, keep a careful eye on me baby. I miss you." He said dropping the lily on the grass and walked away catching up with Becka.

As they ate their ice cream, AJ looked at Becka. "You start school in a week, you excited?" he asked.

"Yeah, but why can't Kelley do it?"

"Because Kelley's going on vacation, besides she thinks it's good for you to learn off of the tour bus. And you need more friends then Nicky."

"But I love Nicky Daddy, and I love Howdy, and Kevvy, and I love Bri, and I love you." she said as AJ kissed her head.

"I love you too Becks, let's go home so you can get some sleep."

"Okay. I'm done." she said getting up and throwing out her stuff. "Lets go, I wanna watch movies with you, like we always do after ice cream." she said dragging AJ to the car.

"Do you want to drive?" he asked. "No, I can't reach." she said jumping into the car by the drivers side and going into the back.

"You are such a monkey." he said. "Did Nicky teach you that?"

"Yeah, he taught me a lot of things." she said and laid back, and went to sleep.

The next week.

Becka was up and ready, followed by AJ who was ready to take his daughter to her first day of school.

"You ready?" he asked as they were sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast.

"Yup let's go Daddy!" she said.

As they got there, AJ and Becka had to go into the talks with the principal about her staying a month and then going back with her tutor. After the meeting, AJ and Becka walked to her classroom, her hand holding his as they got there, she looked at him. "You going to be okay? Or do you want me to come in with you?" he asked.

"I'm a big girl now, I wanna go by myself." she said.

"Alright, I'll be back at two to pick you up, then we can go to the park. Now give your teacher this slip, and I'll see you later." AJ said, standing there.

"You leave now, Daddy I will be fine." she said as AJ bent down and kissed her head. "Alright I trust you." He said starting to walk down the hall, when he heard the door open he turned back and looked into the room. He watched as Becka talked to the teacher and went to her seat. ‘You've grown up so much, I hope you'll always be my little girl.' he said to himself as he walked out of the school.

A few weeks later, AJ was doing rehearsals and picking up Becka in the middle of it, taking her there to watch. They came home and AJ picked up the mail. He started to go through it, while Becka sat on the couch waiting for her Dad to come and sit with her, to watch a movie.

"Daddy? Are you coming?" she asked. AJ looked up at her and smiled "Yeah, let me get some food in the oven for us. You want Pizza?"

"Sure." she said as AJ looked at the envelope that he was holding.
