*Mike's POV*

"Victoria you can't keep doing this, what's gonna happen if I'm not here? Are you just gonna let Luna fend for herself?" I questioned my wife who was still in bed at three in the afternoon.

"You're just gonna leave? After all this you're going to jump back on a tour?" she mumbled against her pillow. It was the first time I'd heard her speak in weeks.

"No, Vicky that isn't what in saying. We still have our daughter who needs us. We're still parents Bubby" I laid down next to her and stroked her cheeks. She was even more pale then usual and her eyes looked sunken in. "When was the last time you ate anything?"

"I dunno" she mumbled "I had some of your fries yesterday"

"Baby, that was two days ago" I could feel the shock spread across my own face. All she did was shrug and close her eyes again. "If you don't get up I'm calling the girls and they'll make your get up."

"Please don't let them know I got this bad. Mikey please" her eyes went wide as she spoke and she slowly pushed the blankets off of her body.

Thats when I got a good idea of how much she had been eating. Her hip bones stuck out of her skin drastically and you could she the knots of her elbows clearly. She wasn't horribly skinny, but she didn't look like her normal curvy self. She moved slowly into the bathroom and I followed behind her closely.

"Show me your sides" I demanded.

*Victorias POV*

"Show me your sides" He sounded angry at me.

"Mike just leave it-" I began

"No. I'm not going to leave it. You can't start this again. You can't get stuck in this haze! We're dealing with hard shit right now Victoria! The both of us! Do you think it's not just as hard for me as it is for you? Every single day I wake up looking for him! Only to realize he isn't going to be here!" I saw tears forming in his eyes as he slammed his fist against the bathroom wall.

"Mikey..." I really didn't know what to say to him.

He was right. I had to be there for Luna. I pulled my clothes off my body and stood naked in front of him. His hands traced the scars on my right side, some newer then others, but none of them recent. His arm went across my lower back and he pulled me against him.

"I love you so much Victoria" he whispered to me shakily.

"I love you too Mike"

"Take a shower and we'll go to waffle house. You need food." he kissed me gently before walking out of the bathroom and closing the door behind him. I turned on the water and stepped into the shower letting it run over my hair and body. I heard the bathroom door open again and Mike's voice followed "On second thought, fuck this."

He threw his shirt across the bathroom and kicked off his jeans before joining me under the water. His left hand went behind my neck and pulled my face up to meet his, sending our lips crashing together. The other hand rested just above my butt and pressed my naked body against his barely clothed one. Mike worked his way from my lips, along my jaw line, and down my neck, leaving several hickies along the way.

He picked me up by my bottom and pressed me up against the wall of the shower, my legs locking around his waist. His lips moved across my chest and his tongue swirled around my right nipple while his hand massaged my right breast. My own lips were working on his neck, biting and leaving hickies wherever I could. I could feel him growing hard against me and I smirked.

"I can feel that little smirk" he growled. I let my feet reach the bottom of the shower again before tugging his boxers down and throwing them out of the shower. Kneeling in front of him, I took him into my mouth, pumping slowily. "Vicky..." he groaned and placed a hand on my head, pushing me lightly.

I could feel him growing tense, so I stopped. This was not going to be the two of us making love, I knew that already. We were too worked up. He was going to fuck me. Hard. Mike stood me up and turned me around, positioning me so I was leaning forward with my palms against the wall. Only a few seconds later he was inside of me. I screamed out his name as he pounded into me. There was nothing gentle about this and I loved it.

His hands gripped onto my hips and he went deeper with each thrust. My nails scratched against the tile of the shower and the knot in my stomach grew tighter. Mike pulled out of me and picked me up again, holding me up against the wall, fucking me just as hard as before. The feeling in my stomach built up even more and I felt myself starting to shake.

"Mikey!" I screamed. He slowed his pace to almost a complete stop and pressed his lips against mine. "Don't tease me Michael" I growled after breaking the kiss. He quickened the pace to where it was before and my nails were scratching his back now.

"Victoria.." he groaned and bit my neck. That sent me overboard.

"Oh my fucking god!" I shouted "Michael-oh! Holy shit!"

Mike came inside of me only seconds later. I leaned against him, panting as he stroked my hair.

"Wow" I breathed.

"Seriously" he laughed, just as breathless.

*Mike's POV*

"Do you wanna pick up Luna from Vic's or just go the two of us?" I asked Victoria as I came to a stop at a red light.

"Lets go get Luna" she turned to me with a smile spread across her face.

Ten minutes later I pulled up to his house and she jumped out of the car and ran up to the door. When Vic answered it, he engulfed her in a hug and I watched as her body shook while she cried. I wiped a tear from my own eye whenLuna cane running out to her. Victoria crouched down and wrapped her arms around Luna's small frame. She stood up, said something to Vic and walked back to the car with Luna in her arms.

"Poppa! Muma says that we're goin to Waffle House!" She exclaimed.

"We sure are princess" I smiled at her through the resented mirror as Victoria put her in her car seat. We drove in silence for a little while before Luna asked the one question we'd been dreading for the past month.

"Muma, Poppa, when are we gonna see Anni?" she said playing with the doll in her hands. I watched as my wifes face fell and I took a deep breath.

"Lulu, we're not gonna see Anni for a long time baby. Not until you're old and wrinkly like Abuela." I looked over to Victoria who stared blankly out the windshield. I reached over and gave her hand a light squeeze. She snapped out of her trance and smiled at me weakly.

"Luna do you wanna go talk to him after we eat?" Victoria asked her.

"Yes muma!"

"Are you all ready to order?" the teenage waitress asked with her notepad in her hand.

"Yeah I'll have bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a side of hashbrowns. The little one want two pancakes. And she'll have-" Victoria cut me off before I could finish.

"I'll have an egg and cheese sandwich, but can you toast the bread? And a side of hashbrowns smothered, covered, and capped" She finished for me.

"Since when do you order by yourself?" I laughed. Her light brown eyes sparkled with humor and she beamed her wonderful smile at me.

"Well I had to find some way to feed myself while you were touring all those years." she giggled.

"Poppa what's toooo-er-ing?" Luna asked. She bit down on her tongue as she concentrated on her drawing. I smiled at the memory of Victoria doing the same thing so many years ago.

"Oh goodness she sounds like Kevin when she says it" Victoria laughed, meaning the director of Warped tour.

"She does" I laughed along with her.

"Helloooooo?" Luna waved a crayon in front of my face impatiently.

"Luna" I scolded her and she dropped the crayon immediately. "Sometimes daddy has to go away on reeeeally long trips with your Tio's for our band"

"Band? Like Big Time Rush Poppa?" I heard Victorua snort as she laughed, practically choking on the juice she was taking a sip from.

"Not exactly baby" Victoria laughed.

"You wanna hear on our way to talk to Anni?" I asked her. She nodded her head and went back to her drawing.

"What are you gonna put on for her?" Victoria asked as she swirled her straw around in her drink.

"I was thinking Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides" I smirked at the beautiful woman sitting across from me at the table.

"You buttface" she laughed lightly.

"Muma!" Luna looked at her mother with a shocked expression on her face.

"I'm sorry baby"

"Don't say sowwy to me. Say it to Poppa!"

"But Luna I was just-" Victoria began.

"No cuts no buts no co co nuts!" Luna wagged her finger.

"Yeah say you're sorry!" I pouted at her. She narrowed her eyes at me before mumbling a 'sorry'. "What was that? I couldn't hear you!"

"I said I'm sorry daddy" she rolled her eyes and a satisfied Luna went back to coloring while we waited for our food, Victoria checking something on her phone. I smiled at my now small family. We could definitely get through this. Maybe not right now, but we can do it.
