*Ariana's POV*

"It feels good to be back." Dad smiled as we walked into our house. Yeah,for you it is. For me, not so much.

Dad's tour just ended and now we are back home in LA. Tomorrow I go back to school. Which means I have to face everyone there. Which I am not looking forward to. The only people I'll be happy to see is Lacy, Stephen and Jonathan.

The media found out about how Alex and I dated and then broke up. They of course twisted the truth a lot. Some stories were that he cheated on me, that my dad broke us up and that I cheated on him with another band member. Alright the last one was kind of true, but I didn't cheat on him with another band member. I cheated on him with my EX boyfriend. There's a difference.

I sighed and looked around the house. I haven't been here since the concert in LA.

"Just think, this is a time for a fresh start." Jess told me.

"It sure is." I said. She smiled at me and walked away. "I'm gonna go unpack." I said, grabbing my two large suitcases. They both are very heavy.

"Here I'll help you." Dad Said as he went to grab one of my suitcases. I pulled it away.

"I got it." I said. He looked at me and slowly nodded his head. I carried my suitcases up to my room, laid them on the floor and laid on my large bed.

It's so good to be home. Hence the sarcasm in that whole sentence.

*Justin's POV*

"Just give her time Justin. She's probably still stressed out about everything." Jess told me. I sighed and nodded.

"Alright." I said. She came up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck.

"We're finally home." She smiled.

"Home sweet home." I smiled. Right when we were about to kiss the doorbell rung. I sighed and went to answer it.

"Welcome home!" Jimmy,Nancy and Winnie all smiled.

"Hey!" I smiled. I hugged them all and let them come inside.

"Hey guys!" Jess smiled. She then hugged them all.

"Where's Ariana?" Jimmy asked us.

"Upstairs." I told him.

"I'll get her." Jimmy smiled. He walked over to the bottom of the staircase. "Ariana you're favorite Godparents and Godsister are here!" He yelled. We then heard Ariana's door open and she ran out to the top of the staircase. She smiled and ran down the stairs. Jimmy held his arms out and she practically jumped into them.

"I missed you so much kid." Jimmy smiled.

"I missed you too." She smiled. She then went over to Nancy and they hugged. Then she hugged Winnie. It's good to see her happy for once. All of the tour she wasn't happy. She's still having a heard time with everything. Her breakdown was what changed her. Then her and Alex's relationship and breakup got into the news,so that just made everything worse for her.

"Can we go play outside?" Winnie asked Ariana. She smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. Let's go." She smiled. The two then went to the backyard to play.

"How is she?" Jimmy asked us.

"Better. Still not the best,but better." Jess said. Jimmy and Nancy both nodded their heads.

"I'm sure with time she'll get back to normal." Nancy reassured us. Jess and I both nodded our heads.

"Maybe we could get her into counseling or something." Jess said.

"She won't do counseling." I shook my head.

"Why not?" Jess frowned.

"Because she's to stubborn for that. She doesn't like to talk to us, why talk to a stranger?" I said. Jess sighed and nodded. "We'll figure something out." I said.

"Maybe getting her back in school will help her." Jimmy said.

"I don't know though. Will will be there." Jess sighed. I sighed and rubbed my eyes with my hands.

"I just wish everything would go back to normal and she would be happy again." I sighed.

"Why don't you just homeschool her or put her in another school?" Nancy suggested.

"She said she doesn't want to change schools. She wants to still be with Lacy,Stephen and Jonathan." I explained to them.

We honestly don't know what we're going to do.

*Ariana's POV*

"Where did you,Uncle Justin and Aunt Jess go?" Winnie asked me as I pushed her in a swing.

"We went on tour around the world." I told her.

"Did you have fun?" She asked me. I sighed and nodded.

"Yeah. I sure did." I smiled. Of course I didn't,but she wouldn't understand, she's only five.

"Are you and Alex still friends?" She asked me. I frowned and shook my head.

"No not anymore." I sighed.

"Why?" She asked. She must be in the stage where kids ask a lot of questions.

"Something happened." I answered.

"What happened?" She asked me. Alright now it's time to change the subject.

"Why don't we play some basketball?" I asked her. She cheered, jumped off the swing and ran to the basketball court. I sighed and followed her to the court. She already grabbed a basketball and shot it in the hoop. She actually made it!

"Yay!" She smiled.

"Good job." I smiled. She's actually pretty good for a five year old! Maybe we'll have another basketball star in the family.

*Justin's POV*

"Ariana's birthday is in two weeks. Maybe a party will help her." I suggested.

"We could make it a surprise party. Lacy,Jonathan and Stephen can help us invite people." Jess said.

"Jess and I can plan it." Nancy Said.

"Justin and I can be the entertainment." Jimmy laughed. I laughed and nodded.

"No!" Our wives said.

"Fine." Jimmy and I groaned.

"We can have it here!" Jess smiled.

"Finally something we can plan!" Nancy smiled.

"I can't believe she's going to be seventeen." I said.

"Don't cry Justin!" Jimmy laughed.

"Don't you cry either!" I laughed.

"I'll bring the tissues!" He laughed.

"Sounds like a plan." I smiled.

"Justin you have to make a big speech at her party." Nancy told me.

"Great another speech Jimmy can interrupt." I said.

"One time Justin! One time!" Jimmy said.

"One time to many!" I laughed.

"I thought you forgave me for that?" He asked me.

"Yeah I did,but I can still make jokes about it right?" I smiled.

"Yeah. I guess so." He shrugged.

"Good because I have a lot of jokes." I said.

"Well just say them now, so we can get it over with." He said.

"Not yet, Fallon. It's not the right time." I shook my head. Jimmy looked at me and sighed.

"Whatever." He said.

"C'mon let's go outside and see what Ariana and Winnie are doing." Jess suggested. We all walked out to the backyard and saw them playing basketball.

"Team Fallon!" Jimmy cheered. The girl's looked at us and laughed.

"Whatever! More like team Timberlake!" I cheered.

"I guess we should just determine who will win in a game. Timberlakes versus Fallons." Jimmy said.

"Oh it's on." I said. "C'mon Jess and Ariana! Huddle up!" I said to my family. They both laughed and we huddled up on the court.

"Alright I'll cover Jimmy, Ariana cover Nancy and Jess cover Winnie." I told them.

"How come I have to cover Winnie?" Jess asked me.

"Honey, I mean this in the nicest way possible. You aren't very good at basketball." I said. Ariana laughed and Jess sent her one of her 'looks'.

"Alright. I'll show you." Jess said.

"Alright let's beat the crap out of these people." I smiled. We put our hands in middle of our circle. "Team Timberlake on three! One two three!" I smiled.

"Team Timberlake!" We all three cheered. We walked to the middle of the court where the Fallons waited for us.

"Let's go Timberlake." Jimmy smirked at me.

"Bring it on." I smirked. I will never get tired of beating Jimmy in a game of basketball.
