"Come on baby, Where's mommy keys?"

"Mama" Charlie squeals running down the hall

"Come on Char, Auntie Candice is waiting for you"

"Candy! Candy!"She cheers showing me my keys in her little bag

I chuckle at the nickname she gave Candice. I bend down grabbing the keys and getting her shoes on before standing up again grabbing my purse and keys

"Come on, mama's running late"

I pick her up and place her on my hip and walk out, locking the house up. I walk down the walkway that Rick ended up making for us. I knock on her door

"Coming!"

She opens the door 

"Candy!"Char yells

"Charlie!"She squeals back picking her up

"Thank you"I thank handing her Charlie's bag "Love you girls"

"Bye bye"

I wave before running to my car, getting in hurrying off to work

I park and get out of my car and race towards the building. Our bakery doesn't have parking so we share it with the building next to us. I get a text and as I walk down the side walk I check real quick.

"Sorry!"I lookup

"Watc-"

I pause and stare at the man in front of me

"I'm sorry, I'm running late"I go around him quickly hoping he wouldn't notice me. I took my contacts out a long time ago and let me go back to blonde but, I have highlights that make me look different.

"Hey, sorry uh Charlie was playing hide and go seek with my keys"I chuckle walking into the back of the bakery

"Don't worry love"Finn smiles

"I fixed her tutu"Jerry states "It's in my office"

"Thank you, She will be so happy"

I tie my hair up and start baking

"Are you alright?"He asks as Finn works in the front

"Y-yeah, yeah I'm fine"

"I have to take this order to the wedding now. Are you sure you don't need Finn to stay with you?"He asks

"No no, don't worry. I got it"

"A-alright, call if you need him here"

"I will bye!"

I head to the front and start cleaning the corner tops before putting my apron on 

Ding

"Welcome to Camp's Bakery, I'll be with you in just one sec"

I place the rag in the back, placing a smile on my face and I walk back out front

I freeze and stare at him

"You're here...in Nashville"

"H-how can I help you? We have a fresh muff-"

"Rebbeca" He calls out

"I'm sorry you're mixing me up with someone else. I'm Amber"

"Rebecca Amber
