Katherine

When she started running I didn't know why, when she told me that the song I was playing was at value to her I felt hurt. I didn't know. I didn't know what to say or do I just hugged her. I held her close, the way I would Normally hold Jace.

When Jace finally came home he looked tired from his day at work and I didn't blame him.

" How was work today my sweet love?" I ask when we all sit down for dinner.

"It was alright hun" Jace sighs as if he didn't wanna talk about it. " Some stuff happened down in Cuba today and my boss wanted a story on that but I couldn't come up with one that didn't already exist."

"Do you recon you could try to get a different story?" I push him to tell me more.

" Probably not love it looks like we may be going to war."

" Oh, well is there something here people are concerned about?"

He sighs " Kathrine can we not talk about this."

He seemed annoyed at me now

"He looks to Michelle., who hadn't touched her dinner " How was your day sweetie" he asks a smile appearing on his face.

" it was alright sir." Michelle responds looking at her dinner plate.

" We had a little mishap in the ballroom earlier" I through out there just to start a conversation. Michelle looks at me like she didn't wanna talk about it .

" Oh what was that about?" Jace asks concerned his smile had now daddies as he began to cut into his stake.

" just a song I started playing I gue-"

" Could we not talk about it please miss" Michelle says cutting me off. I roll my eyes in her direction.

" Katherine, love I am sure there is a reason for it. She hasn't been here long we shouldn't get upset over a simple thing." Jace says flustered at me .

I excuse myself from the table an walk to my room. I had never seen Jace so protective over a weird child. I take a seat at my vanity as a servant enters my room.

" Lady Katherine I am here for the laundry" she says quietly, her hands shaking as she spoke.

" you know where it is Missy" I say as I take the pins out of my hair.

Missy gets the laundry and leaves me alone with my thoughts. My eyes fart around the room as I here faint giggling. I felt left out of everything. I lay my head down hoping to the heavens that they would stop. However the more I had my head down the louder the laughter got. The more happier Jace seemed to be without me.

[Jace]

I spun Michelle around to soft music she smiled and giggled as if she was happy. I couldn't help but smile. I longed for my wife to share this moment with us though. I lifted Michelle up spinning her around. I wanted her to feel like a princess, she deserve that. She deserved the world. I took her to my favorite place in the whole house. The balcony on the third floor. It over looked the whole city of New York.

" it's so beautiful up here." Michelle gasped as we walked out of the threshold.

" It truly is" I respond warmly.

" I feel like I could fly" Michelle giggles crawling onto a bench so she could see above the railing. I leaned on the railing smiling. Lady liberty stood tall in the distance. Looking at her made me feel free. The april air felt nice as it blew against me.

After a while I took Michelle to her room letting her get changed into her def clothes an tucking her in.

" Good night papa" she smiles.

I felt my heart lift, " night blue bird."

I make my way to my room to see my wife with her head down on her vanity.

" Katherine are you alright?" I say approaching her.

" Yes hun, I just don't feel well."

I change into my own bed clothes. Why didn't you come to bed love?"

Katherine listens to my request after changeling her clothes. She lies next to me cuddling me, her head on my chest.

" I don't think she likes me" Kathrine says sadly.

" Just give her some time honey" I respond reassuring her she was alright. I hold her close. I felt like I had lied awake for hours. I heard Kathrine's shallow breathing an I knew she was asleep. I hop to my feet without waking her. I walk to Michelle's room an peek my heard in she was fast asleep. I walk past the servants quarters to see they have all gone home or are resting. The house was silent and peaceful. It was dark, but light Shone in from the windows from the moon light. It had to be April 25th.
