“Look Mama a puppy” Rose called out and pointed as she had done whenever she spotted one.Vanessa giggled and kissed her forehead, Rose was hell bent on convincing her to get them a dog and she felt it was too much work for her and Jenny.“We will get one when you're old enough to take care of it,” she said, dusting off sand from her knee. She had agreed to spend time with her this weekend and was somehow tricked into coming to the park. Rose was an outdoor person like her father, Vanessa would rather stay in and sleep, watch movies or tend to her garden if she had one, “I can take care of it Mama,” she said with a familiar smile and her best puppy eyes. She knew calling her Mummy Mama makes her emissional and affectionate and she almost always gets what she wants with it but not this time.“Okay Baby how about you take care of me and Jenny for the whole week and then I will consider” she offered resting her hands on her shoulders.“Really Mama?” Rose’s blue eyes light up with excite

If Alex had any doubt he is sure this is his daughter now and he is sure he is getting Vanessa back he just has to make her listen and understand.He was on his way to the golf club when he spotted her play with a little girl, he didn't just assumed she was her daughter, he just got carried away by how beautiful they had looked so much that he couldn't help but ask the driver to stop for some reason he wanted to get a closer look is like he was hypnotized by them, he was shocked the girl called her Mama that could mean only want thing.He had wanted to confirm then and there but how could he explain his presence? He knew she would just assume he is stalking her now and she had been threatening him with a restraining order. He doesn't want to give her any reason to act on it, not that it's going to stop him from seeing her.And when she kicked him out of her apartment later that evening it only confirmed his claims he has a daughter, a four year old daughter, he knew he wasn't going to

“ Say something,” Alex said, his tone lace with concern. He had followed her almost immediately she left and was relieved when she was the one who opened the door even though he could see her detest for his presence so much that even Rose's presence couldn't turn her frown, but she let him in without a word she walked straight to the kitchen and sat on one of the chairs around the kitchen island. He could tell she had been seated there probably since she came home , her face looking aged by worry.He sat on the vacant chair next to hers, while Rose ran around playing, occasionally calling for his attention but he was too concern for what Venassa was thinking to join the little girl, could do anything to make her smile it pained him to see her like that.“ What do you want me to say?” She asked when he had lost all hope that she would talk to him.“Say anything, tell me what you are feeling, what you are thinking please” he had her hands held in his hand while the other lifted her chi

Rose swung her Father's hand happily as they walked to their car. It was parents teachers day and she was happy both parents came, she is having this bond with him that scared Venassa to the core, what if he up and leave again was forever her fear.“ You see, we work perfectly,” Alex pointed out, smiling at Vanessa.It always amazes her when he smiles even after all these years it was beautiful, almost like it he was a totally different person and she still wonders what most have caused him to be like that, Alex was never one to do back stories they are too painful she figured. If she could she would very much like to take the pain away, be his sunshine and see that smile everyday but she has been burnt down that road before.“I told you I am in a relationship,” she replied.“What are we then?” He asked with a mischievous smile this time.She knew exactly what he meant as Soon as that smile crossed his face and she hated thinking or talking about their shared nights together almost
