"You can't be here" I said through clenched teeth.
"Why not? It's a public place" She said with a little evil smile.
"It's actually not so I'm going to have to ask you to leave" Claire spoke up.
Minnie just glared at her.
"Please you're just a child" Minnie said with a laugh.
"She may be but I am not and if she wants you out then you have to leave"
I looked at the door and saw Stephanie standing there with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed at Minnie.
"Excuse me but she was being rather rude to me" Minnie stated.
Stephanie rose an eyebrow at her.
"You're only allowed to be on this property if you have a child enrolled in classes here"
Minnie smiled.
"Great I can stay since I have a child"
Stephanie looked at Claire and then me.
"Mommy"
Minnie looked towards dill thinking dill was calling for her but dill had another person in mind because she ran straight to Claire and hugged her legs.
I looked at Claire in shock and so did Stephanie and Minnie.
Claire just had a little smirk on her face.
"Hey baby" Claire said as she lifted dill up and set her on her hip.
I was beyond confused but I let it be.
"Minnie please leave" I pleaded and she crossed her arms.
"No I want to see my baby dance"
It irritated me that she was calling Delaney her baby.
"How'd you even know about this place?" I asked.
"I saw your little whore wearing a shirt that said 'SCC Dance Academy' so I just figured you might be here" She said.
Stephanie's claws were out at the mention of her daughter being a whore.
"Leave" Stephanie snapped.
She kind of scared me with the anger that was radiating off of her and I think Minnie sensed it too because she put her hands up in surrender.
"Fine" She said then stormed out, almost hitting a little girl that was walking into the room.
"We will discuss this later" Stephanie said and then walked out.
I turned to Claire who was still holding Delaney and rose an eyebrow at her.
She knew what it was for.
"When she asked me if I was her mom last night I whispered to her and told her only when that woman was around for now"
I smiled because I knew it really got under Minnie's skin.
Kids and parents started coming in so I went and sat down and watched the class.

Later that night Claire and I were laying in my bed.
She was running her fingers over my torso while I ran my fingers through her hair.
"She's crazy" Claire all of the sudden said.
I looked down at her while she looked up at me.
"I know" I said.
"Why did you date her?" Claire asked.
I let out a loud laugh.
"I never dated her. I met her at a party and then nine months later I had a baby" I said and Claire nodded.
"So you never had feelings for her?" She asked.
I let out another laugh.
"No, she was the schools psycho girl but she was a really easy girl so she was popular among the guys"
Claire frowned.
"What's wrong?" I asked before leaning down to kiss her forehead.
"Nothing" Claire said while shaking her head.
"Don't be jealous of her, she's nothing to me" I said.
She nodded but I could tell she still wasn't convinced.
"I have a question for you"
She looked at me and waited.
"I know we've only known each other for about two months or so and we've only been dating for literally a day but..."
She cut me off with wide eyes.
"If you're asking me to marry you the answers no. I'm too young for that"
I put my hand on hers.
"That's not what I was going to ask"
She let out a breath that she was holding, before relaxing against me.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go with me, dill, and my parents to visit my grandma who lives in Pennsylvania"
"Really?" She asked and I nodded.
"We've been planning on going for about a year now so why not add one more person" I said while smiling at her.
"How are we getting there?" She asked nervously.
"We're driving. It takes about a day to get there"
She let out a breath.
"I was worried you were planning on flying and I can't afford that" She said letting out a giggle.
"I'm a twenty year old single dad who is a server, I can't afford that either. The only thing you should worry about is my mom attacking you with questions"
She laughed before leaning up to kiss me.
I deepened the kiss and she climbed on top of me.
Her tank top felt rough against my bare chest but I didn't mind.
I was about to pull her tank top off when my bedroom door burst open and in ran a scared looking Delaney.
I quickly but gently pushed Claire off of me and grabbed Delaney from the ground.
I cuddled her to my chest and she was shaking but she wasn't crying.
Claire tucked a blanket around both of us so dill could feel more safe.
After about five minutes Delaney calmed down and I pulled her away from me a little bit and looked down at her.
"What's wrong baby?" I asked.
"I saw a monster in my closet" She whimpered.
I leaned down and kissed her forehead.
I knew it was a bad thing to watch Monsters Inc. before she went to bed but she insisted on watching it.
"Come on let's make sure Randall isn't in your closet" I joked and she nodded while sucking on her fingers.
I climbed out of bed and set dill on my hip while Claire followed me.
I walked into dills room and turned on the light.
I saw Binkie still sleeping peacefully on dills bed and rolled my eyes.
She was not a good guard dog.
I walked over to dills closet and dill cuddled closer to me while tucking her head into my neck.
I opened the door and turned on the light and looked around.
Obviously there were no monsters in her closet but she's only four so her imagination runs wild.
"Dill I don't see any monsters"
She slowly lifted her head and looked in the closet.
"Under my bed?" She asked.
I turned off her closet light and shut the doors before handing her over to Claire so I could check under her bed.
I stood back up after I checked and took dill back from Claire.
"Nope, no monsters under there either"
Her bottom lip started to shake so I started to rock her.
"What's wrong baby?" I asked in a soft tone.
"I'm scared" She whimpered.
"It's alright baby" I said while shushing her.
"Do you want me to sleep with you?" I asked.
She nodded frantically.
I looked at her bed and groaned.
She slept in a toddler bed, which still had slight rails on it and it was extremely tiny.
It was going to be a long night for me.
I glanced at Claire and she gave me an understanding nod.
I set dill down and grabbed Binkie who yelped in surprise before wiggling in my arms in excitement.
I handed her to Claire and Claire snuggled her into her arms.
"Yes I'll go with you" Claire said.
I smiled before giving her a small kiss.
"Goodnight" I said.
"Night, Binkie and I are going to have a girls night" She said laughing a little before leaning down and kissing the top of dills head and then walking out.
I walked over and closed the door and shut off the light.
I could still see a little because dill has a flower night light.
I climbed into dills bed and my muscles already hurt just knowing I was going to be in a cramped position all night.
Dill crawled over and laid almost on top of me so I began running my fingers through her hair.
"I love you daddy" She mumbled and I leaned down to kiss her head.
"I love you too baby"
