Niko POV: Age - 34
I wake up from my sleep suddenly as I hit myself against the window. I look out the window and see that we're on a highway. I stretch and being on a moving vehicle I move to the next seat switching my bag with myself and I look around the bus. Everyone is asleep, some are falling asleep and others are waking but getting to sleep again. I sigh and standing I walk to the front to speak with the driver.
?-Awake?
-Yes. How much longer to arrive?
?-Four hours but with this traffic, maybe more. I'm going to try and find a fastest way but I don't guarantee anything. Why? Are you in a rush?
-I just want to know for how long I can talk to my wife.
He laughs and holding his shoulder I leave and go back to my seat. As I take out my computer and everything to make the video call I just have to wait until she answers. She answers after a little bit.
Nina-Hey love. You're calling.
-Sure I am. So, I miss you.
Nina-I miss you too.
-How are the girls?
Nina-Your dad took them shopping.
-He's spoiling them?
Nina-Not really. He offered his help with grocery shopping and the girls wanted to go out with him. I stayed back home with Akon.
-Right, he's four months old now.
Nina-He is. One second.
She goes away for a moment and she comes back with him on arms and I smile.
-My god. He's so adorable.
Nina-Look at your dad Akon. Say hi to him.
She waves his hand slightly and my heart melts as I wave back and we laugh.
-I can't wait to meet him. Sorry for not being there.
Nina-Is quite alright. At least this is the only time we're going to be apart. By the time you get done with that project I can go back to work and we can go all together.
-Thankfully.
I sigh and so she asks.
Nina-What's wrong? Why that sigh?
-I miss you. I really want to be there with you all.
Nina-Where are you going to do now?
-Record the songs for the show. Some dance moves and steps for the extra part when people look online, the videos and photo sessions. You know, just the extra stuff.
Nina-Those can be the worst things of work or the best. It depends.
-It does depend. There is one thing I have to do that I want you to see.
Nina-Oh?
-I am not sure of the details just yet but is going to be a live interview. That's just me and my career. I know for sure that as soon as the interview is done I am going home with you.
Nina-You want me to see it.
-I will call you before so you can put it on TV and see it. I'm going to text everyone else so they see it too but as long as you see it I don't care if anyone else does.
Nina-I'm sure of that.
-Love you.
Nina-Love you too.
-I want the girls.
Nina-They're shopping with your dad.
-Oh, yes right, you told me. Sorry.
Nina-Don't worry about it. Go on, you need to work.
-I do. Nina. Akon.
Nina-We miss you too babe.
-Tell the girls I love them.
Nina-I will.
It takes us a bit of work but we finally hang up and I lean back on my seat again.

Nash POV: Age - 34
I arrive home one evening and being excited about seeing my brother on TV I just sit with the family after leaving my stuff and so I ask.
-Has it started yet?
Kelly-Not yet.
Adaobi-Hey dad.
-Hey Ada.
Evie & Izna-Hi.
-Hey girls.
They sit at my sides after I sit down and laughing I let them giving my wife a look.
Kelly-Do you want Jamal too?
-I'm alright.
Adaobi-I want him.
She stretches her arms and Kelly leaves him go on her lap. Jamal starts playing with the bottom edge of her dress making her roll her eyes but still smiling.
-Well then, let's watch or, well, wait to watch.
Kelly-Look. Is about to start.
With that we get silent and watch Niko's interview as it starts.
In TV
Host-Now what you all been waiting for and the event of the night. Let's welcome our favorite actor Niko. A big applause to welcome him.
There is the big applause as he comes in and while it dies down they greet each other before they sit down.
Host-We are so glad you're here with us tonight.
Niko-I'm glad to be here.
Host-So, we understand that you are more than an actor. You're also a great husband and father. Is either your work or family hard for you?
Niko-Neither is hard but sometimes work is harder. Way harder.
Host-Oh. Why?
Niko-Is mostly the paparazzi and the cameras and all the questions. I'm used to it but the fact, is still exhausting.
Host-What about the fans?
Niko-I like them. Is a bit overwhelming when they come but I find myself enjoying it.
Host-What about this latest show you did. Is there anything you can give us about that?
Niko-That one I'll be bad because I can't tell anyone anything.
Host-Too bad for us. Well then, what about the family? How is that aspect of your life going?
Niko-It couldn't be better. I have a wonderful wife and four kids that are very dear to us.
Host-Four? I understood it was three.
Niko-Don't worry. He was born on this work trip of mine. I don't know him yet and I already miss him.
Host-Good husband and father.
Niko-Thank you.
Host-Well, what do you say if, to close the program, you sing the solo you did on the novel.
That actually makes him hesitate but he still sighs.
Niko-I can. Is no problem.
With that he stands and so everything starts playing and he starts singing and dancing.

Neil POV: Age - 34
I sigh as I turn the show in mute as it ends and I hold my seven year old daughter closer to me.
-What do you think?
ArezoMahin-He has a good heart.
-Yes, he does has a good heart. Still, I just remembered, this is for you.
Letting her go I grab the gift and I hold it.
-Hands out.
She does and I place the picture on her hands.
-Is open so you just have to enjoy it.
Arezo-What is it?
-Feel the picture.
Arezo-A picture.
She says it to herself more than anything as she starts enjoying her gift.
Arezo-Is this you? A picture of you?
-Yes it is. It was hard making it but I finally got it and, well, now you have it.
Arezo-Thank you.
-You're welcome baby girl.
Arezo-I love you dad.
-Love you too baby girl. Now then, come on, is bed time.
Arezo-Can I sleep with you?
-Arezo, you're not a baby anymore.
Arezo-Please. Pretty please dad.
She kisses my hand between words just being nice to me and I sigh at her affection.
-Alright fine but no stories. Alright?
Arezo-Yes dad. Thank you.
She hugs me and unwilling to get off from me I carry her to my room and to the bed.
-Wait a little bit.
I leave her to get changed and her bedclothes too. I get changed myself and then go back with her.
-Arezo. Let's get changed.
Arezo-Can you help me?
-Sure I can. Come on, sit up so I can help you.
She does as told and I help her change before lying down with her. She cuddles with me making me laugh.
-So much bed and you have to be on top of me.
She doesn't answers and as I look I smile as she's already asleep.
-Good night baby girl.
I hold her slightly tighter and more safely close to me before I sigh and so I go to sleep as well.

Liam POV: Age - 48
I finally get out of work and as the only one taking care of my kids now I go to their school to get them or at least, the three youngest. As I go Rosabella calls me.
-Hello.
Rosabella-Hi dad. You're out of work already?
-Yes. I'm on my way to get Blaz and the twins and then I'll get Arunika and the eldest twins.
Rosa-That precisely is why I called you. I can help you with Arunika and the eldest twins.
-I don't know.
Rosa-Dad please. You can't fit them all in your car.
-Alright fine.
Rosa-Thank you dad. I'll keep you informed and I'll also speak about something important when I get home, alright?
-Sure. Anything for my baby girl.
Rosa-Bye dad.
She hangs up and I laugh. My beautiful baby girl is not a girl anymore. I sigh and arriving to the school I park to go get the kids.
-This always feels good.
I breathe deeply and so I make my way inside of the school and I look around for my kids. I spot the boys sitting on the floor by the stairs and as I walk over to them calling them out I look around for my daughter.
-Blaz, Navin.
Blaz-Dad.
Navin-Dad.
-Where's your sister?
Navin-On the bathroom.
He gets up and helping them both I get their backpacks and we wait outside the bathroom for a little bit before she comes out smiling when she sees us.
Navinna-Daddy.
I catch her grabbing her up in my arms as she comes towards me.
Navinna-I love you daddy.
-I know. I love you too baby girl. Come on boys. Let's go home.
They follow me to the car and so we go home at last. I smile when I see that the rest of my kids are already there.
-Rose, Arunika, Aviva, Aviv. We're home, kids, go change.
They nod and the three of them go upstairs with me close behind. I look on the bedrooms for my other kids.
-Aviva, Aviv.
I go in his room and I find them both leaning over the desk doing homework together. I watch in silence from the door.
Aviv-So this one, if we have it turn this way instead of the other way it improves speed and aerodynamics not to mention that it looks good.
Aviva-It does look good but I feel like something still missing.
Aviv-Yeah me too but I can't figure the missing link just yet.
Aviva-Perhaps a bit of exercise might help us think better about it.
Aviv-You don't like exercise.
Aviva-I like you. That's good enough for me.
Aviv-Then how about this, you take a fencing class with me and I'll go and take a ballet class with you. Do you like that?
Aviva-I have to admit is tempting and that I will agree but I also feel slightly weird about it.
Aviv-Come here now. I'm going to love you tightly.
He pulls her in a tight hug and they laugh together. I sigh as I lean against the frame of the door before I go check on my other kids. I see Rosabella studying with a half eaten sandwich on her bed. Arunika is on her room doing yoga so I leave her enjoying her personal time. I sigh and I go check how the youngest ones are doing. I see Blaz drawing on his notebook and cautiously I go in and ask him about it.
-Hey, what are you drawing?
Blaz-Dad. You like it?
-I do but I don't know what it is.
He leaves the crayon and holding the paper up he shows me about it.
Blaz-Well, this is my happiness. This is me in my world and all this is what I like.
-What do you like?
Blaz-The first part is what I like alone, drawing and stories. The second part is my cousin Bellatrix, you, my siblings and cousins. The next part is the future, that's why I haven't done it yet. I don't know what to put there yet.
His emotion dies down and holding him I ruffle his hair messy.
-Don't worry, you got a lot of time to do it and I'm going to be here to help you be as happy as you can and help you make the right choices.
I kiss his cheek and, to my surprise, he clings to me in a tight hug.
Blaz-I don't like this.
-But what happened? Why are you crying?
Blaz-I don't know.
-It doesn't matter. Everything will be alright. Hey, do you want to help me cook dinner?
Blaz-Can I?
-A little bit because I don't want you to get hurt but still, yes you can help me, I want you to smile and be happy.
Blaz-Yay.
He gives me a tight hug before he jumps out of the hug and dashes downstairs to the kitchen. I laugh and seeing the two youngest safely playing together I catch Blaz on the kitchen and we start cooking.
