Pref 24 - He Left And Didnt Know You Were Pregnant

Michael:

It had been hard for you raising a kid on your own, but now that she is 6, she isnt as big of a hassle as she was when she woke you up every night or drew on the walls.

She is really well behaved and really smart.

She really likes video games, even at a young age, making you tear up thinking about him...

"Mommy, I want another game."

"Gamestop or walmart?"

"Walmart."

"Okay then." You say, taking your daughter up in your arms and carrying her to the car.

"Mommy, I can walk, i am 6 not 3."

"I know, I just dont like seeing you grow up. I want you to stay 5 forever."

She laughs. "Youre silly mommy."

You walk to the driver side and start driving to the nearest walmart.

Living in America now, you avoided Michael most of the time. If he ever comes to LA you stay inside as much as possible.

This is one of the times that you just have to go... Hoping he is nowhere around.

But what would a celebrity like him be doing in walmart at 5pm?

You park, and independent little Emily decided that she would get out herself.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

"No, I am fine. I can walk." She says, measuring herself against you, causing you to smile.

You guys walk in, hand in hand, and she picks out some food for her, and you pick out some foods for yourself.

"Are you ready to go Em?"

"We still havent got the game!"

"Oh yeah! I forgot." You say, gently leading her to the video game aisle.

"Mommy, I want that one!" She said pointing, and you let go of her hand so she can look at it.

"Dont run." You tell her, but she trips on her foot and falls.

"Baby, are you okay?" I ask her and she cries.

"My knee." She points and you raise up her tights to see a scrape that is bleeding.

"Emily, I dont have bandaids with me."

"Here you go." Someone says and Emily takes it.

"Thank you sir." She says.

"Youre welcome, but call me Michael."

With that, you turn around and see Michael Clifford.

"Michael?"

"(Y/N)?"

You cant speak, you just nod your head.

"How old is she?"

"Six!" She exclaims, and realization sets in.

"Is she?" You just nod your head, not being able to explain further.

He picks her up.

"On second thought Emily, call me daddy."

"Youre my daddy?"

"Yes, I am."

"Daddy, where have you been?"

"I was lost and now you guys found me!"

"Silly daddy, dont hide from mommy and I!"

"I wont anymore Em." He says, kissing her cheek, and you smile, tears forming in your eyes, happier than you have been since Michael left.
