I enter my home not long after and soon I'm greated with little footsteps running my way.

"Mommy mommy" my daughter Adriana screams

Much like her father her hair is a thick chocolate brown but her eyes match my green ones. She's about to turn 5 this week but has the attitude of a 10 year old at least. I blame that on her father.

I give her a big hug and lift her into my arms positioning her on my hip. I pay the babysitter and thank her for staying with Adriana.

"Where were you mommy?", she asks shyly

" I had to see an old friend darling" I respond knowing she will ask more questions

" Does your old friend know daddy?", she questioned some more

"It was your daddy" I want to say

Instead I respond " Yes he knows your daddy very well"

"When will daddy come and see me, will he come for my birthday?"

I don't know how to respond so I quickly change the subject

"What do you want for lunch" I ask

After a prolonged silence she finally says spaghetti and I serve it to us within 20 minutes

After lunch Adriana when down for her usual 1 hour nap leaving me time to contemplate this morning's events

Knowing my ex husband he won't stop until I'm back in his arms. I can't risk him finding out about Adriana. I know that if he ever does there will be a lot of explaining to do especially after I just told him I lost one of our children. Sometimes I can't help but wonder what would have happened if we never got divorced and I never lost my precious little treasure.
