Private - Tracey and me only

She leaned on him a little and continued to kiss him, that was all she wanted, to be caressed and kissed by him once again. It's been a long time since someone's held her like this.

He smiled softly and continued to kiss her, stroking her cheek, then her back softly.

Jamie blushed slightly and deepened the kiss, she let her hands rest on his shoulders lightly before one hand trailed down over his heart.

He smiled softly and caressed her blushing cheeks. Though he'd always been lustful, she was making him want her in a softer way. More loving and tender.

She smiled gently as well.

He tucked her hair behind her ear. "So... Your parents know you're here..? Did they forget me, is that why they let you come back," he asked softly.

"They know I'm here.....they never forgot the reason why they had to move...." she sighed "It was a long arguement, but they know I'm here, and they let me come here. Long story short it's Hope that led me to you." She smiled weakly.

He kissed her softly and stroked her cheek. "You don't have to keep seeing me if it's gonna cause a problem with your parents," he murmured. He hated to say it, he HATED to not see her again, but he didn't want her to be upset. He wanted her to do whatever was gonna be happiest with.

"No, it's not going to cause problems...." she said gently.

He raised his eyebrow. "Uhm...babe? Do I need to remind you about the past five years? Was that not a problem?"

"It was, but I thought it was time to stand up to them, I am a legal adult now...." she said looking down. "And, I wanted you to know...." she paused looking down. Should she tell him already or no?

He kissed her forehead. "You know you can tell me anything, angel," he murmured. "Just like I can tell you anything. Right?"

She nodded looking down quietly at her hands all of a sudden so scared, to scared to say it and when she finally did it was in a soft whisper "Hope...is what led me here, back to you. She is the key to everything, the reason why my parents let me come back to you..." she paused once again looking up to him. "That day when we....Hope.....is our daughter."

He listened quietly, letting her get it all out. She was obviously scared, and he realized why once she said the last word. He thought for a moment, a million thoughts and emotions running through him at once. "We have a daughter," he asked softly, caressing her cheek. He was... he didn't know how he felt about that. He didn't think he'd have any children until he got older. Then again, with his behavior, it was bound to happen eventually. He was just surprised it happened with her, when they were both so young!

He did feel angry, though not at the fact that he had a baby girl. He wanted to meet her. He was angry at Hope's grandparents, for keeping her away from him. He'd do everything he could do to keep that from happening again. "Can I meet her," he asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.

She nodded silently, suprised he was taking this so well. "I have to pick her up at day care soon actually...she, she doesn't know about you...not really. I didnt know how to explain it, I just told her that her daddy went on a little trip to Neverland. She loves Peter Pan...." she said gently and looked away about ready to cry again, "I'm sorry Chad, I'm so sorry. I didn't know what to do! I almost put her up for adoption but when I held her I just couldn't let go of her, and my parents hated me for it! Sure they love her now but when they have guests over they say it's their daughter cause they're so afraid I;m going to ruin their perfect prissy reputation!!!" she cried getting up and pacing back and forth. "I'm so sorry for burdening you like this..." she said and sat huddled up against the wall of the church.

He sat down next to her, pulling her into his arms. "Angel, honey, it's alright," he soothed her. "It's not a burden to me. Not at all. I'm here for you, for both of you," he kissed her forehead, wiping her tears away with his thumb. "Always." He smiled softly. "You want me to dress up as Peter Pan for her," he asked, trying to make her giggle, if not smile.

She chuckled sadly and sighed "I wouldn't make you do that." she said and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Or I could dress up as Tinkerbell," he chuckled. "I'd have you do my make up, though. I'm just not good with that kinda stuff. Trust me, darling," he said in his gayest voice. "It's just horrible." He kissed her forehead, laughing.

She chuckled a little and managed to smile "I'm sure that'd make a great impression, "why is daddy whearing a dress?'"

He laughed. "Yeah. Lovely," he chuckled and hugged her. "It's alright," he murmured, rubbing her back. "It's completely your decision if you want her to know me or not. You raised her - you know her best. If you think it will upset her to know me, or it's too complicated for her, then I'm alright with that," he said gently. "I'm really alright with that." Though he did want to meet her, to know her, to hold her, to be there for her. But he would understand if that's what she decided for their girl - he still couldn't believe he was a father! He was nervous, but excited.

"No, I came here because I wanted you in her life..." she said gently "Thats the only reason why I was allowed to come back, because I begged them to let Hope get to know her father..."

He blinked in surprise. "And they let you? Seriously? Really?" He thought a moment. "What's the catch...?"

"I don't know...Hope just new that most people are supposed to have 2 parents. She kept on asking why she didn't have another." she sighed. "I guess, she went crying to my dad about it, because she wanted a daddy so badly that she asked him to be her daddy. They're doing this for her, I know they are.....it's not for me."

He thought a moment. "So..." he thought a moment more and cursed, standing up.

His thought process was this:

Jamie's parents would let Hope meet her Daddy. Then, if/when Chad and Jamie screwed up, then her parents would take Hope back, under their custody, and force Jamie to go back to them.

Of course. Jamie's classic parents.

"F*ck!" he yelled and kicked the church's wall.

She watched him slightly horrified. " Chad, no don't!!!" she said coaxing him to sit back down. "Don't do that, you'll hurt yourself."
