Brand New
~~Hey everyone, tis me again, just thought i'd go crazy and write another fic to keep myself busy...hope you enjoy this one...it might be kind of boring but...oh well, we'll see. Thank you and Enjoy!:)~~
The hustle and bustle of a busy day was something not uncommon to the Californian people as they began their days quickly. Through the large trees and heat soaked parking lots stood a small coffee shop already full to it’s capacity with impatient clients.
Anna had been living in this town for almost fourteen years after moving back from her hometown in southern Nevada. She liked the Californian vibe, the hot afternoons and the cool shady nights.
“ One large Mocha.” She ordered quickly, feeling a crowd of people gathering behind her.
The woman behind the counter rapidly filled a large cup and handed it to her demanding $2.75. Anna placed her money on the counter and immediately pulled away from the large crowd.
If there was one thing about California, it was the large crowds at ten in the morning. She felt something hot drip onto her wrist and she looked down, only to smack into something hard.
Dammit, I’m so clumsy.
She glanced up, realizing she had smacked into a tall young man, dressed rather darkly for the heat.
“ I’m sorry.” She muttered and wiped her wrist.
She began to walk away when the man called to her.
“ Anna?”
She turned around slowly and stared at him. There was something vaguely familiar about him, but she just couldn’t quite put her finger on it. His black spiked hair accented his rather tanned skin and brought out his dark chocolate eyes perfectly.
“ Do I know you?” she asked, slightly confused.
The man walked past the crowd and stopped a few feet away from her. “ Don’t tell me you already forgot about your high school boyfriend. Jesus, it’s only been fourteen years.” He explained, feeling rather insulted.
Anna stared into his eyes and searched the back of her brain for any recollection of this man. Suddenly, her eyes brightened in realization. “ Mike!” she stated with surprise.
He gave a small grin and stuffed his hands into his pockets. “ So you DO remember me. Gosh I feel so loved.” He explained.
“ Mike, I’m sorry…it’s been a long time…I mean, I’ve been away-.”
“ –In Nevada, yeah I know. So what are you doing back?” he asked casually.
Anna looked around and slowly led him to a secluded booth at the back of the shop. “ Well, I got a job here in California…chief editor of the newspaper.” She answered as they sat down.
Mike raised his eyes and nodded a little. “ Sounds like fun.”
Anna lowered her eyes. “ Bullshit…all I do is sit at a desk everyday and answer phone calls, making sure the printers don’t stop.” She explained.
He gave a small smile as she sipped her coffee.
“ So…you’ve turned into a rather…good looking…man.” She stated.
“ What, I wasn’t good looking when I was sixteen?” he asked.
Anna gave a small smirk. “ Well you didn’t look like this.”
“ Is that a good thing?” he asked quietly.
“ Maybe…” she replied.
He gave a small chuckle and leaned back in the booth. Anna stared at him, remembering all the fun times she had had with him in high school. All the dances, assemblies, pizza after school, walks through the park…every memory was a good one. Well, except when we broke up, which was all my fault because I had to move away…
“ So Mike…what do you do for a living?” she asked casually.
He stared at her blankly for countless seconds. “ Are you serious?” he asked.
Anna frowned slightly at his remark. “ Of course I’m serious.”
“ What’s it like living in a pizza box?” he asked with a grin.
Anna raised a brow. “ Excuse me?”
“ How could you not know what I do for a living?”
“ Well it’s not like I’ve been hanging around you for the past fourteen years.” She replied slowly.
Mike sighed heavily and rubbed his hair, causing his spikes to ruffle between his fingers. “ Linkin Park ring a bell?” he asked.
She stared at him and blinked with confusion. “ Sort of…isn’t that a band?”
Mike almost smiled. He couldn’t believe she didn’t know about his band. “ Uh yeah…and I’m in it.” He replied, while trying not to laugh.
She stared at him for a long moment then slowly lowered her eyes.
“ I’m sorry…it’s just that I don’t really pay much attention to MTV.” She answered apologetically.
Mike smiled at her. She was so cute when she was blushing. “ That’s alright. Like us millionaires always say, Forgive and Forget.”
“ Mike, everyone says that.”
“ Yeah but it’s more special coming from a millionaire.” He smiled.
“ You haven’t changed a bit Mike. You’re still immature.” She laughed.
Just then, a girl, about thirteen years old walked up to the booth and frowned, slowly looking at Mike. He frowned a little as she looked away from him, and began to address Anna.
“ Can we go now?” she demanded.
Her long jet black hair danced under the air conditioners as her dark brown eyes scanned the woman.
“ Yeah, in a minute, can’t you see that I’m in the middle of a conversation?” she asked quietly.
The girl rolled her eyes and sighed. “ Mom, I have been waiting for you outside for fifteen minutes. How long does it take to get a coffee?” she demanded.
Mike’s ears perked as he stared at Anna in question. Mom?
Anna glanced at him, then looked back at her daughter. “ Well I’m just catching up with an old friend.” She replied calmly.
The girl looked at Mike and her eyes narrowed. Somehow he figured that she didn’t really like her mother speaking to strange men in coffee houses. “ Who the hell is he?” she demanded.
“ Laura!” Anna hissed.
“ What? It was an honest question.” She stated in defense.
Anna grabbed her arm and pulled her towards her. “ Mike, I’m sorry…she’s an extremely rude little brat with no manners.”
He stared at Anna, unable to speak.
“ Can I go?” Laura demanded impatiently.
Anna handed her the keys and pushed her away. “ Don’t you dare drive off.” She warned.
“ Relax Mom, I wouldn’t want to be caught dead driving that shitty car.”
Anna lowered her eyes at her daughter’s language. “ Go.” She ordered.
“ I’m gone.” Laura sighed and exited the shop.
Anna rubbed her head and leaned on the table. “ God, she’s driving me mad. So, where were we?” she breathed.
Mike stared at her and frowned in question. She noticed his quizzical look and raised a brow.
“ What?”
He swallowed hard before replying. “ D-daughter?” he asked.
Anna looked at him, then glanced at the door with realization. “ Oh God, I’m sorry…you didn’t know…wow I guess I should have told you.” She explained in thought.
“ Yeah…when the hell did THAT happen?” he asked.
“ Oh…well…uh…when I had left for Nevada…it was because…I was pregnant.” She stated slowly.
Mike raised his eyes with surprise. “ And you didn’t tell me?”
“ Look, I was scared and I didn’t know what to do so my parents brought me down to Nevada so I could raise her in peace.”
“ Who’s her father?” he asked quickly, not realizing that it could have been the slightest bit rude to even ask that question.
Anna frowned a little, watching his dark eyes. “ It’s complicated…look, why don’t we catch up and talk at my house…say, tomorrow, two o’clock?” she suggested.
Mike blinked slowly and nodded. “ Sure.”
“ Alright then.” She answered and wrote her address down on the back of his hand. He glanced at it as she stood up. “ Mike…it was nice seeing you again.” She smiled weakly.
“ Yeah, you too.” He replied softly.
He watched her walk out of the shop and he frowned in thought. He couldn’t believe he was seeing her after all these years. She hadn’t even bothered to say good bye to him when she had left for Nevada. He had no idea she had been pregnant. A part of him still loved her greatly…but the other part felt slightly empty and rejected.
He felt his heart quicken as he thought about tomorrow. There was so much to talk about. He was also wondering who she could have possibly slept with after they had broken up fourteen years ago.
Oh well, I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
~~Hope you enjoyed the first chappie, more to come, losta drama and such...please review and tell me what you thought, THANK YOU!!:)~~

Back Again
~~Yay 2nd chappie...hope this fic isn't too boring so far. Thank you for the reviews...they are totally awesome!...Enjoy!~~

Mike stood at the door for what seemed like hours until finally it opened slowly. He was greeted by that same young girl. Her dark eyes burned into him with question and curiosity.
“ Wrong house buddy.” She muttered.
Anna glared and came up behind her daughter, placing her hands on her shoulders. “ Laura what have I told you about addressing people that way?”
“ That it’s rude an inconsiderate but also extremely fun.” She smiled.
Anna lowered her eyes. “ Out.” She ordered.
Laura sighed heavily, taking one last look at Mike and vanishing into her room. Mike cleared his throat and stared into her dark blue eyes.
“ Does your daughter hate me or something?” he asked.
Anna rolled her eyes and pulled him into the house, closing the door behind them. “ She’s just not used to me speaking with men…she thinks we’ll date, then fall in love, get married and soon her happy little world of just one parent will turn into two.” She explained quietly.
“ So, basically she’s afraid of having a man around the house.”
“ She’s never lived with a man and I think it scares the hell out of her…besides, she likes to be independent…she says she doesn’t need a father.” Anna explained quickly and led him into the large kitchen.
Mike sighed lightly and leaned on the centre island. “ Does she know who her father is?” he asked curiously.
Anna frowned a little and sat down at the island. “ No, I never told her. She’s better off not knowing.”
“ Why’s that? He a creep or something?”
Anna stared into his dark eyes and sighed uneasily. “ No…he’s a very good person and I cared deeply for him…still care deeply for him.” She explained softly.
Mike noticed how quiet she had become. Perhaps she really didn’t want to talk about this. But as always, Mike’s curious side took over. “ So did all of this happen before or after we broke up?” he asked.
“ Actually I broke up with you because this happened.” She answered cautiously.
Mike frowned slightly. “ You mean you cheated on me and got knocked up?”
“ No, I never cheated on you.” She replied quickly.
“ Then how the hell could you have gotten pregnant if you weren’t with any guys…wait…did you get raped or something?”
Anna smiled a little and ran her fingers through her long dark hair. “ No Mike, I wasn’t raped.”
He stared at her with a visible look of confusion. Anna figured she should give him some time to think about this, after all…it was extremely confusing. “ Look, how about we talk about this later? Right now I just want to catch up with an old friend.”
“ Old?” he asked with an arched brow.
Anna smiled and walked towards him. “ Thirty is very old.” She breathed.
He chuckled and shook his head. “ I still feel like I’m twenty one…besides, I should…I’m pampered like a millionaire.” He explained.
“ That’s because you ARE a millionaire dumbass.” Anna snorted and ruffled his hair with her hand.
He lowered his head and furrowed his brow. “ Never touch a rock star’s hair.”
“ Aw but your hair is so soft and so pointy.” She giggled. He smiled and shook his head.
“ Anna…I’ve missed you.” He said quietly.
She stared into his soft brown eyes and blushed. He still had that innocent look that she could never get over.
“ I’ve missed you too…and I’m sorry I had to leave you. You would have freaked out knowing I was pregnant…besides, I couldn’t stay in school and have all those people judging me. Home schooling in a different state was the only way out and I hope you understand that.” She explained lightly.
“ I do…I just wished you would have at leased said good bye…you know I loved you.” He answered softly.
She cocked her head and wrapped her arms around his neck, peering deeply into his eyes. The moment she had seen him at the coffee house, she had this feeling of electricity zapping at her heart. It was like they were close again after being so far apart for fourteen years.
“ Loved me?” she asked.
Mike stared at her as his heart paced rapidly. The first time he had felt this feeling was when he had first met her, back in high school. He never forgot those eyes when he first looked at her, asking what was for homework. She was always so kind and so warm…someone he had seen possibly spending the rest of his life with. But then she had left just as he was starting to feel something strong for her.
“ Well…seeing as though we were together in the past…I used the past tense.” He explained.
Anna gave a small grin. “ Do you still love me?” she asked curiously.
He squinted slowly and sighed with thought. “ Uh…maybe…do you still love me?” he asked.
Anna giggled and looked to the side briefly, then looking back at him.
“ Yes.”
Mike gave a weak smile and sighed heavily. “ Then I still love you…even though you broke up with me after getting pregnant, which I might add seems a little suspicious to a boyfriend.” He explained.
“ Don’t worry…I’ll explain everything soon…I just need time.”
“ Time for what?” he asked.
Anna sighed uneasily and rubbed his neck with her hand gently. “ Time to get to know you again.”
“ You already know me…nothing’s changed.” He explained.
“ I hope not.” She replied quietly.
“ What’s that supposed to mean?” he asked with interest.
“ Nothing…I’m just glad I found you.” She smiled.
He stroked her cheek gently and nodded. “ Same here.”
Before they knew it, they were pressed into a loving kiss, something they had both missed for a long time. It felt good to get back this feeling of love…even though they had never lost it. Anna took in his scent as all the memories came flooding back. They had shared many kisses back in high school but none was as needed as this one. It felt like a great relief to Mike. He had always thought and wondered what had happened to Anna…why she left and why she never told him. But now she would get a chance to explain everything to him…everything.
A thought that still frightened her even to this day. She didn’t know how he was going to react to finding out he had a daughter, and for this long. She was afraid, but she was also hoping that Mike was still as understanding and calm as he had always been.
“ Oh God.”
They pulled away from the kiss quickly, hearing that soft and slightly annoyed voice. Anna cleared her throat and looked at her daughter with a reddening face.
“ Hey Laura…what’s up?”
Laura’s eyes darkened as she furrowed her brow and crossed her arms.
“ Catching up with an old BOYFRIEND huh?”
“ Uh…how much of that did you see?” Anna asked nervously.
“ Enough to know that you two are probably in love.” She grumbled angrily.
“ Well you’re right.” She replied quickly.
Mike looked down and swallowed hard. This was slightly embarrassing.
Laura raised her eyes with worry. “ What? Mom, you can’t be in love…you haven’t even been out with any guys.”
“ Yes I have.” She argued.
“ Yeah, twice doesn’t count.” Laura snapped.
Mike ran a hand through his hair nervously, feeling like he was intruding.
“ Well sweetie, you’re just going to have to accept the fact that I’m in love with him.”
“ But…you guys broke up like fourteen years ago.” Laura whined.
“ And now we’re back together.”
“ In five minutes?” she demanded.
Anna sighed uneasily and looked at Mike. He was speechless and probably a little embarrassed. She just couldn’t explain to her daughter how much she had missed him and how bad she had felt for leaving him without even a single good bye. She still loved him and had always loved him…which was probably why she had never gone out with many guys over the years, that and because her daughter didn’t like it.
Laura didn’t really trust new men.
“ Laura, its complicated…right now I want you downstairs cleaning that room of yours.” She ordered quickly.
Her daughter grumbled with frustration and left the room in a huff. Anna sighed with relief as the door slammed.
“ Mike, I’m sorry.” She apologized.
“ Anna it’s okay. It’s not like I haven’t been caught kissing a woman before.” He smiled.
She raised a brow and gave a small smile. “ Alright well I have a question for you.”
“ Shoot.”
“ How long is your band in town?”
Mike stared up in thought. “ Well we’re working on the new album…so probably about a month or so…why?”
Anna looked down in thought. “ You wanna stay here for a while?”
“ With you and that little monster?” he asked with uncertainty.
“ Monster?” she demanded.
“ Anna no offense but her father was probably a very rude and insulting person…I think that’s where she gets it from.”
Anna stared at him for a long moment. “ Wouldn’t you like to know.”
“ Actually I would.” He smiled.
She smacked him in the stomach and he winced slightly. “ Get your bags before I change my mind.” She muttered.
“ Isn’t your daughter going to be very pissed that a man is staying here?” he asked.
“ Yes…but she is going to have to get over this fear of men. She should have known her mother would be falling in love with a hot guy in the near future.” She explained with a sideways smile.
Mike laughed and nodded. “ Hot huh?”
“ Sure.” She answered.
“ You should see me on stage.” He smiled.
Anna rolled her eyes. “ Yeah whatever…and Mike? I want to talk to you about something later.”
“ Alright, just let me know.” He answered casually and walked towards the door.
She smiled to herself as she watched him leave the house so he could get his bags. If only he knew that that rude little brat downstairs was his daughter. She sighed heavily and shook her head. She’d tell him soon…she had too. She hoped he wouldn’t freak out but knowing Mike…he would most definitely freak out.

~~OK...just getting the ball rolling with this chappie, more to come i promise...ooooo will she tell him or will she be too freaked out???? Hahaha...review please, Thank you! :)~~

Truth Be Told
~~Okay, i wrote this chappie in like a half an hour so i hope it's interesting...enjoy!!:)~~

“ Mom I’m going out to a movie with some friends.” Laura announced as she entered the dimly lit kitchen.
Anna leaned on the centre island and glanced at her watch. It was around nine thirty. “ Which friends?”
“ The good ones.” Laura replied, knowing her mother didn’t like it when she hung out with her pot smoking buddies.
Anna sighed heavily and nodded. “ Alright, be back before midnight.”
Mike walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Laura stared at her mother with expectation. Anna looked at her and raised a brow.
“ What?”
Mike pulled a carton of milk out of the fridge and popped it open, drinking it down. He wiped his mouth and frowned. He looked at the two women who were staring at each other.
“ Anna, I believe she’s asking for money.” He suggested.
She turned her head and frowned at him. “ Mike, use a glass.”
“ Yeah so make with the money and why the hell is he still here?” Laura demanded with confusion and annoyance.
Anna turned back to her and sighed heavily. “ He’s going to be staying here for a while, while his band is in town.” She explained casually.
“ Here.” Laura stated and glanced at Mike.
“ Yes, here.” Anna answered.
“ You’re kidding right?”
“ No I’m not kidding so get used to it.”
Laura sighed with irritation and crossed her arms. “ What band?”
“ Linkin Park.”
“ Linkin who?” she asked.
Mike frowned and put the milk back in the fridge. “ Anna, your first house was a pizza box wasn’t it?” he asked.
Anna rolled her eyes at him as he closed the fridge.
“ Well I’m just saying that maybe you should force your kid to watch more TV instead of studying all the time.” He suggested.
“ Mike, that’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard.” Anna replied in a low tone.
“ Okay…so what’s so special about his band?” Laura asked.
“ It’s popular.” Mike answered.
The young girl stared at him and raised a brow. “ What, that screaming, rapping shit?”
“ Excuse me?” he demanded.
“ Yeah I’ve heard of you guys. One of my friends is obsessed with your band…actually…not your band, more like you…although I don’t know why. I don’t see what’s so great about you, you can’t even use a glass.” She explained.
Anna raised her eyes with surprise. She was taken by her daughter’s rudeness, although she had expected it.
“ I can so use a glass, I just prefer not to. It gets in the way.” Mike argued.
“ Either that or you’re just an immature excuse for a man.”
Anna glared. “ Laura, go to your movie.” She ordered quickly to end the already starting fight.
“ But I need money.” She whined.
Anna sighed heavily and pulled out her wallet, handing her forty dollars. “ Go, behave.”
“ I will.” She sighed and left the house.
Mike stared at Anna as she turned around. “ Mike, you don’t argue with a thirteen year old. That’s how she learns to manipulate. I’ll give you some sound advice, ignore her.”
“ But she’s so whiny and irritating. How can I ignore that?” he demanded.
Anna rubbed her head and frowned. “ You know what, the end.” She muttered.
“ Fine…oh yeah, didn’t you have something you wanted to tell me?” he asked as he approached the other side of the island.
Anna’s eyes lifted in realization. “ Right…yeah I did…actually it’s more of a question…actually I need some advice.”
“ Yeah sure.” He replied and leaned on the island.
She sighed uneasily and crossed her arms. “ I want to tell her father about her…but I don’t exactly know how to do that without him freaking out.”
“ Are you going to phone him?”
“ Yeah something like that.”
Mike nodded in thought. “ Well I’d say get right to the point, quick and easy.”
“ But what if he’s someone who gets scared easily?” she asked nervously.
“ Then try to remain as calm as possible and if that doesn’t work, start the water works. Men can’t handle the water works.” He explained with a grin.
Anna gave a weak smile as her heart raced. “ Can I ask you something?”
“ Sure.” He replied calmly.
Anna rubbed her finger on the island and watched it leave a small smudge mark on the wood. “ What would you do if you had a thirteen year old daughter that you never knew about?” her words were shaky and uncertain.
Mike raised his eyes, a little surprised by the question. “ Well you’d probably see a Mike shaped hole through the door.” He chuckled.
Anna stared at him with lowered eyes. “ Seriously though.”

“ Seriously…I’d be freaked…a little nervous…probably pass out…and I would probably sit down and think about it for a while.” He explained.
Anna sighed a little out of relief. “ Okay…well I need to tell you something…uh…something kind of important that I’ve been meaning to tell you for a long time.” She said cautiously.
“ Okay go ahead.” He replied softly.
Anna nodded a little and looked around the kitchen. Where to begin? Where to begin?
“ Remember in high school when we went out that night at the club…you know, the time when we got in with fake I.Ds?” she asked.
Mike nodded and let her continue, remembering all the fun times he had had with her.
“ Well…we had drunk a lot of beer…like…A LOT of beer and we were kind of wasted, right?”
“ Right.” He replied, trying to figure out what she was getting at.
“ And then we went back to your place and kinda…you know…had uh…uh…”
“ More beer?”
“ Sex.” She stated quickly.
Mike raised his eyes and cleared his throat. “ Uh…okay…yeah…I guess I remember that.”
“ Well do you remember the next couple of days how I was eating a lot and then throwing up?”
Mike frowned with thought and nodded. “ Yeah, what’s your point?”
She stared at him and lowered her eyes. I can’t believe he’s not getting this. “ And you didn’t think that was just the slightest bit odd after that night at your house?” she asked quietly.
“ No…must have been alcohol poisoning…right?” he asked.
Anna swallowed hard. Oh my God he’s an idiot. “ Uh, no Mike, it wasn’t because of the alcohol.” She answered with a nervous laugh.
“ Flu?” He asked.
Anna rubbed between her eyes and sighed heavily. “ Okay…let’s start over because obviously you’re not getting this…we had sex…”
“ Okay.” He answered slowly, slightly confused.
“ Then I began having pregnant like symptoms.” She stated.
He stared at her and nodded slowly. “ Okay…”
Anna gave him a blank stare. “ Are you not following me or something?” she asked desperately.
“ Well Anna I just don’t know what this has to do with anyt-.” He stopped suddenly, feeling the words choke back down his throat. She watched his eyes become wider and wider; his face became pale.
“ But…you…we…”
“ Get there faster!” she yelled.
“ You were pregnant?” he yelled with shock.
“ Yes Mike I was pregnant.”
“ Because of us?”
“ Yes because of us.” She replied.
He rubbed his face lightly and cleared his throat. “ Uh…so she’s…uh…”
“ Yes Mike…she’s your daughter.” Anna explained slowly.
He stared at her and began to feel light headed. “ I think I’m going to throw up.” He moaned.
“ Mike, do you need to sit down?” she asked cautiously with worry.
“ Yeah.” He replied weakly and collapsed into a chair by the kitchen table. She walked over to the table and sat down near him. He leaned his head into his hand and leaned his elbow on the table. This was all so much information to take in…and one hell of a shock.
“ How the hell did this happen?” he demanded.
Anna frowned at the question. It seemed pretty simple. “ Do I need to explain the birds and bees to you?”
“ No I mean, how COULD this have happened? We used protection.”
“ Mike that only works 97% of the time.”
“ What!” he yelled.
“ You didn’t know that?” she asked.
“ No I did not know that! They should put that on the damn box!”
“ They do!” she shouted.
“ No they don’t!”
“ Yes they do.” She stated through her teeth.
Mike frowned at her in thought. “ Oh yeah…”

“ Look, I’m not asking that you take full responsibility of her. I just want you to know what options you have. I mean, you have a daughter now…there are some things to think about…like what you want to do.”
“ Like get the hell out of here? Yeah perfect idea.” He answered breathlessly, still recovering from the shock.
Anna frowned at him. “ You’re going to leave? I thought you said you’d sit down and think about this.”
“ Yeah thinking done. It’s been nice chatting with you.” He muttered and stood up.
“ Michael.” She stated in disbelief as she stood up.
“ Anna, do you have any idea what this means? I have a band okay. I can’t be here all the time with some teenage brat and record an album and go on tours at the same time. This is impossible! And there is school and books and clothes to pay for…I can’t do that.”
“ Mike I never said you had to pay for anything-.”
“ –What about the guys? They’ll think I’ve gone insane. One minute I’m this single guy and the next I have a girlfriend and a daughter that I didn’t know about. What is the press going to think? How is the media going to handle this? How am I going to handle this? I’ll lose fans…money…my band…everything!”
Anna crossed her arms and lowered her eyes. She knew this would happen. He was only thinking about himself and his band when right now there were other priorities, like, telling Laura who her father was…which could be worse because she might scream and yell and slam doors.
“ Mike, you need to calm down.”
“ I’m calm enough. I’ll go pack.” He stated and began to walk towards the stairs.
Anna frowned and tried to keep her tears from falling. “ Mike…please, just stay for at leased a week. Try to see what kind of daughter you have before you completely abandon her.”
“ I’m not abandoning her…I never knew she even existed and right now I’m going to make myself disappear from her life.” He explained angrily.
“ Mike please.” She pleaded.
“ Good night Anna.” He muttered, walked to his room and slammed the door.
Anna sat down at the centre island and buried her head in her arms.
Great, you told him and he freaked out. Now he’s leaving. He doesn’t even know her. She deserves to have a father…but what kind of father could he be if he wants to leave? Dammit, now I have to tell her. How is she going to react knowing that this man she just met a day ago is her father? How can she accept him? How can he accept her? How am I going to deal with this? Jesus help me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laura entered the kitchen slowly and frowned at the sight she saw. She walked towards the island and sat down across from her mother.
“ Oh boy, alcohol…something bad happened.” She stated softly.
Anna looked up from her wine glass and stared into her daughter’s worried eyes. Her eyes were so much like her father’s, always soft yet intense at the same time.
“ It’s nothing.” She muttered sadly.
“ Yeah right…I know a problem when I see one and this is definitely a problem.” She explained.
Anna sighed uneasily and looked around the kitchen with watery eyes. “ I just spoke to your father.”
“ Yeah?”
Anna nodded. “ Told him about you.”
Laura raised a brow. “ How’d it go?”
“ Well…he’s freaked…he thinks he’s ruined and I THINK he hates me.” Anna explained shakily.
Laura hissed and frowned. “ Ouch.”
“ Yeah…I guess it’s better to tell him now than never right?” she asked with a weak smile.
Laura walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her. “ Mom…I’m sure he’s glad you told him…otherwise he’d have this whole other family and I’d have annoying brothers and sisters that I don’t want to know about.”
Anna smiled a little. Her daughter always managed to put a smile on her face, even when she was upset…a quality she had gotten from Mike. “ You’re so much like your father.”
Laura frowned slightly. “ Is that good or bad?”
“ Both.”
“ Uhuh…so where’s Mike?”
Anna looked up the staircase and frowned. “ Sleeping.” She muttered.
“ Yep, told you…he’s a lazy man…can’t even stay up past midnight.” Laura smiled.
Anna chuckled a little and looked down.
“ So mom…you gonna tell me who my dad is or am I going to be left in the dark my entire life?”
Anna swallowed hard with nerves. She had just gone through one truth telling episode…now she had to go through another one. “ Um…how about tomorrow.”
“ Sounds like a plan.” Laura sighed casually and gave her mom a kiss on the cheek. “ Night.”
“ Good night.” Anna replied wearily.
“ Love you mom.”
Anna smiled a little as she watched her daughter open her door. “ Love you too baby.”
She sighed a little as her daughter disappeared down into her room. She really hoped that Mike wouldn’t leave. He’s just upset, he’ll calm down soon. Then maybe I can talk him into staying a little longer. I know they’ll get along…it might take some time though.
She looked up the stairs and furrowed her brow. A VERY long time.

~~Okay, hope you enjoyed that and MORE TO COME...how will she react, learning that Mike is her father?
