"Mommy?" my daughter Skylerie asked.

"What do you need sweetheart?"

"Does my daddy love me?"

Not this again. "Honey you know that he does."

"But if he loves me then why doesn't he want to see me?"

I hate lying to her, but it is really the only way. "Well your daddy is a very important man and he is very busy, so he doesn't have time to see little girls." At least it is partly true.

"Oh, ok." Good she is over it.

"Will I ever get to meet him?" Or not.

"I don't know darling. You need to go to bed now."

"But mommy…"

"No buts."

"Ok. G'night Mommy."

"Goodnight Skye. I love you."

"I love you too."

My daughter Skyelerie Venturi MacDonald is four years old. Four years since I have last seen Derek, four years since I have last seen any of my family, four years since I have been with someone. I loved Derek, I still love Derek, and I will always love Derek. But he has a life to live, and I don't want to destroy that life by introducing him to his four year old daughter that he doesn't even know exists. I mean sure I talk to my family sometimes, and even Derek too, but not like I really want to. Actually, my mom's birthday is two days from now, and she is having a party, and I miss them so much, and I want Skye to meet her family, so I think I will surprise them. I guess I will tell Skye tomorrow. She will be so happy that she will finally get to meet her daddy.

Skye's POV, The next day

Yay! Mommy just told me that I get to meet him. I can't wait. Derek Venturi, My Daddy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Casey's POV

She is soo excited. It makes me feel like a bad mom for not letting her meet him.

"Skye, put Mr. Chips with your bag in the car, and get in. It's time to go."

"Ok. Mommy, I am all ready."

"Ok sweety. Let's go."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still Casey's POV

"Wake up Skye. We're here."

"Really!?"

"Yep. Come on sweetheart, let's go inside."

I am kind of nervous. I mean I haven't seen my family in 4 years. Oh no, what if they don't want to see me. Or they don't want to accept Skye. That could be a problem, cause Lizzie is really the only one who knows about her. Oh well. Now is as good a time as ever. Awww, Skye is so cute. She rang the doorbell, but she had to stand on her tippy toes. The door is opening! It's…

"Mommy, I'm going to hide behind you."

"Ok baby."

It's Derek! Great just the person I wanted to see first. Note the sarcasm.

"Casey! We haven't seen you in so long. Where have you been?!"

"With me!" Skye jumped out from behind me.

"Well, aren't you gorgeous. What's your name?" Great. I am so in trouble. Derek is acting all sweet to Skye, but his face is telling me that he is mad that I didn't tell him that I had a daughter, and hurt that I had a daughter with someone else.

"My name is Skye. What's your name?"

"My name is Derek, but you can call me Uncle Smerek."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Derek's POV

"Nora! Someone's at the door." Ugh, she'll probably send me to get it. I am 22 years old and she still tells me what to do.

"Derek, be a dear and get that please." See, what'd I tell ya?

I wonder who it is. It's CASEY!

"Casey! We haven't seen you in so long. Where have you been?!" I can't believe it's her. I haven't seen her in so long and I still love her and I still think about her every day. But, it gets hard to love someone who you haven't seen in four years.

"With me!" Who is that?! Casey has a daughter? With another man? How could she do that to me?

"Well, aren't you gorgeous. What's your name?" I can't believe it. I always imagined Casey having my kids, not her having someone elses. She looks and acts just like Casey.

"My name is Skye. What's your name?"

"My name is Derek, but you can call me Uncle Smerek." As soon as I said this two little arms wrapped around my stomach and squeezed me tight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skye's POV

"Your not my Uncle Smerek! You're my Daddy!" I am only four years old but I am very smart, and I know that Daddy and Mommy don't see each other and that right now Daddy is confused and hurt. But, I can see that they love each other, so maybe they will be together and I will have a family. But, until then, I am glad I have him. Derek Venturi. My Daddy.
