Playing for Keeps, Not Cheats.

Sam;
I drove into a nice little neighborhood and nodded. I pulled into a nice looking house that was small, though I could see Hannah living here. I got out and headed up to her door, ringing the doorbell. I looked around and noticed there were outside toys on the porch. I frowned wondering why they were here.

[haileyjordan]

I heard the doorbell and raised an eyebrow. It was a bit late for someone
to be here. "I'll be right back sweetheart," I told her as I walked down the
hallway, to the door. I opened it, still wearing the costume as I stared at
Sam. "Sam? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, quickly taking
the tiara off my head.

[lauren.]

Sam;
I raised an eyebrow at the choice of clothing she was wearing,"I thought you were going out with some girlfriends. Are you babysitting?"I asked as I looked around her shoulder into the house.

[haileyjordan]

"Um...yeah, I am." I said looking at him. "How did you find my house?
Why are you here?" I asked in a panic. I prayed that Taylor would stay
in her room. "Mommy!" I heard her yell down the hall. I spoke to soon.
I bit my tongue as she came over to me, staying behind me legs.

[lauren.]

Sam;
I was shocked when a little girl came behind Hannah's legs. I met her piercing blue eyes that looked like mine. I stared at Hannah,"Mommy?"I said quietly. The girl looked about six or seven. I felt my heart pounding in my chest.

[haileyjordan]

"Sam..." I said, not planning on ever having to do this. "You have a
daughter." I looked down at Taylor who looked at Sam, then at me.
I could tell she was confused. I knew this wasn't going to go over well.

[lauren.]

Sam;
I stared at Hannah wide-eyed. I have a daughter and Hannah wasn't going to tell me. "I have a daughter,"I whispered as I looked down at the little girl. "You've kept this from me? Were you ever going to tell me?"I asked shocked.

[haileyjordan]

"Taylor, please go in the living room. You can watch tv," I told her.
She nodded and ran off. "I never thought I'd see you again, I didn't see
a reason to tell you," I said, crossing my arms.

[lauren.]

Sam;
I ran a hand through my hair,"You weren't going to tell me?"I strained out. "I have a fucking daughter,"I said quietly,"I think I have the right to know that. You can't just keep something like that from me,"I said tangling my fingers in my hair and letting out a deep breathe as I looked up at the roof of the porch.

[haileyjordan]

"Well the way you stormed out so quickly it didn't seem like you'd care.
All that would cause is trouble, Sam. Taylor doesn't need worry in her
life," I told him. "I didn't feel like you deserved it anyways."

[lauren.]

Sam;
I stared at her,"I didn't deserve to know? Come on Hannah, she's my child and I don't want her to know me as the freaking sperm donor. Of course I would have cared,"I said my heart hammering in my chest. "Her names Taylor?"I asked.

[haileyjordan]

I nodded, "Yes, it is," I told him. "It just bothers me that now you
know this you decide to care. You're trying not to seem like the bad
person, but it's already done. I had to do this all alone Sam," I said.
I felt myself becoming emotional, but I tried my best to hold it in.

[lauren.]

Sam;
I babbled on my words trying to figure out what I wanted to say,"If you would have told me I would have been here,"I said feeling betrayed. I peeked into the house, looking over her shoulder to see Taylor watching TV.

[haileyjordan]

I sighed and my hand through my hair. "Well since you're here, do you want
to meet her?" I asked him. There was no stopping it now, he was officially part
of Taylor's life.

[lauren.]

Sam;
I looked at Hannah,"I'd love to,"I said, removing my hand from my hair. I have a daughter and she's seven. Damn, I've missed everything and I didn't even know.
