Chapter One

2008

Tawny Robson opened her eyes. Someone was staring at her. She looked to her left and saw her husband Wade sleeping peacefully. Then she looked over to her right and found herself staring into a pair of brown eyes.

“Hi Momma.” Her daughter, Kaylee, said to her.

“Hi sweetheart. What are you doing?” she asked.

“I can’t sleep in my room.” She replied.

“Why?” Tawny asked her.

“I like sleeping in here better.” She told her.

“But Kaylee, I told you that you need to sleep in your own bed.” Tawny said.

Kaylee gave Tawny the most pathetic set of puppy dog eyes. “Please Momma.”

Tawny shook her head. “You’ve been spending too much time with Uncle Justin.”

“Uncle Justin told me that…umm… if all else fails use the eyes.” She said seriously.

Tawny laughed. “That sounds like him. But you can’t sleep in here.”

“Please Momma, please.” Kaylee pleaded.

Tawny was about to respond.

“Get in here princess.” Wade said to her.

“Yea!” she said climbing into bed.

Tawny rolled over. “Way to be firm.”

Wade shrugged. “Sorry.”

Tawny couldn’t help but smile when she saw Kaylee climb into the bed. She remembered the day she brought Kaylee home from the hospital four years ago. It seemed like just yesterday she had met Wade. But that was over six years ago.

“You okay baby?” Wade asked interrupting her train of thought.

“I’m fine.” She said.

There was a knock at the door.

Wade looked at the clock. “It’s only 8:00. Who could that be?”

Tawny shrugged. “I’ll go see.”

She made her way down the stairs and opened the front door.

“Good morning!” Justin Timberlake said entering the house.

“Hey Tawny.” Emma, his girlfriend and Tawny’s best friend, said following him.

“ What are you two doing here? It’s 8:00 and it’s Saturday.” Tawny said.

“There were no good cartoons on this morning so Justin suggested we see what you guys were up to.” Emma said.

“I don’t watch cartoons!” Justin said in his own defense.

“Okay, it wasn’t because of cartoons. He ran out of Lucky Charms and was hoping you had some.” Emma replied.

Justin was about to respond when Kaylee ran into the room.

“Uncle Justin!” she squealed running into his arms.

“Hey pumpkin! How are you today?” he asked.

“Good. Daddy said I could sleep in his bed!” she told him excitedly.

“aWade! She’s your daughter!” Emma said.

“Ha, ha. You’re so funny.” Wade said sarcastically.

Emma and Wade had a total love hate relationship going on. Tawny remembered the first time she met Wade, Emma was ripping on him about the way he ran dance rehearsal. The words “12-year-old Nazi” were used quite frequently.

“Guess what?” Justin asked Kaylee.

“What?” she replied.

“Aunt Emma and I have something for you.” He told her.

“Justin, you’re going to spoil her rotten.” Tawny said.

“That’s what godfathers are for.” He said. “Come outside with me.”

Justin and Kaylee walked out into the yard.

Tawny poked Emma. “What did he buy her?”

“Oh Momma, Daddy! Look! It’s a car.” Kaylee squealed.

“A what?” Tawny practically screamed.

Wade, Emma, and Tawny went outside and low and behold there was Kaylee sitting behind the wheel of a Pink Barbie Benz.

Wade laughed. “Look out world, here comes Kaylee.”
