Hey guys! Hope you guys like this! It will be cute and sweet and heart-wrenching and every other emotion that could be felt (at least I hope so). Much love!

The characters are grown up and their lives are still changing.

The alarm clock's beeping wakes Lucas Friar from his deep slumber. He rubs the blurriness out of his eyes and looks at the bright red numbers on the clock beside his bed.

9:30 a.m.

It's time to start getting ready for the day. Lucas sits up and yawns, stretching in the process. He stands up and makes his way to the bathroom, flipping on the light switch, which adds light to the very dark apartment. He looks at his tired sea-foam colored eyes in the mirror, and he, then, grabs his toothbrush. After he is done brushing his teeth, he grabs a shower.

He ran the wash cloth over his bruised ribs, wincing due to the pain. His muscles ache because of the night before. His opponent was a tough one to beat. But being a boxer comes with a price. A price he was willing to pay to make a living. Lucas was a newbie to boxing, but he wasn't a horrible fighter. He hasn't lost any of his ten matches so far, which is pretty impressive, considering the fact that the only fighting Lucas had ever done was a long time ago in the sixth grade.

He climbs out of the shower and dries off. He changes into a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. He had a day off from training today; however, he still had a press conference to go to. He was going to take advantage of it. He wanted to relax on this Saturday morning. But he didn't want to do it alone.

"Hey, baby girl. It is time to wake up! Come on, sweet heart! Open those beautiful eyes of yours," Lucas says.

The matching sea-foam colored eyes flutter open. A large grin appears on her face when she sees who wakes her up. Her sandy blonde hair is a mess from a full night of slumber, and Lucas is still so mesmerized from how adorable his four year old daughter is.

"Morning daddy," She says, sitting up in her small bed. Lucas smiles and gives his little girl a hug.

"Good morning, Sadie."

Sadie Elizabeth Friar was born in April, the year that Lucas graduated from high school. He was only seventeen years old when his girlfriend, at the time, told him that she was pregnant. Lucas wasn't too proud that he had gotten a girl pregnant before he even finished school, but as time went by, he got really excited. He and his girlfriend were on good terms, until she told Lucas that she didn't want anything to do with their daughter. That was when things went a little downhill for him. He was eighteen years old with a newborn baby, and he was left all alone. He got help from his friends. Riley, Zay, and Farkle were very reliable whenever he needed them to be there. But there was one person who stuck by him. She was there through the harsh, fussy nights, diaper changes, feedings, burpings. Everything.

But she had left them too. Lucas thought that she wanted to stay with him and help him with Sadie. It was until, she got accepted a very prestigious art school. He hasn't seen her since.

It's been four years since he has seen or heard of any of his friends from middle and high school.

"Are you hungry?" Lucas asks.

Sadie nods, "Is Emma here yet?" She asks about her babysitter.

Lucas shakes his head, "Emma is not coming today. It's you and me, squirt."

The way Sadie's face lit up when he told her that he was, basically, staying home today make Lucas's heart smile. He loved seeing his little girl happy. He don't know what he would do if she were to hate him.

Lucas picks Sadie up from her bed and carries her to their kitchen. He sets her down on the counter and tells her not to move from that spot until he tells her to. Sadie is a good child, and very smart for her age. She can feel when something is too dangerous for her and uses her instincts not to do anything that will get her hurt.

Lucas makes them a quick breakfast, and they eat together in their living room while watching cartoons.

"Sadie. What would you like to do today?" Lucas asks.

"Daddy, I have to go to dance class today! Remember?" She asked. Lucas wondered where Sadie had gotten her sass from.

Lucas smiles and nods, "Of course! How foolish of me. Will you forgive me princess?"

Sadie nods with a grin on her face, "Well, I guess I have to since it's the princess thing to do."

Sadie is Lucas's whole world. He can't believe how anyone would not want to be around someone this sweet and adorable. Sadie's kindness is beyond this world, and she can make friends with anyone in a heartbeat.

"What time does ballet start?" He asks.

"11 o'clock. Are you gonna come watch me today, daddy?" Sadie asks.

"I'm sorry sweetie. I would love to watch you dance, but I have a press conference to go to," He responds. He watches Sadie's face fall, and his breaks his heart.

"Tell you what. I'm going to drop you off and pick you up today, and then we can go to the park. Does that sound okay with you?" Lucas asks, hoping that her pouty lips turn into a smile. Lucky for him, they do when she nods.

"Okay, well you better get ready kiddo, you're going to be late!" Lucas says. Sadie jumps off the couch and runs to her room. Lucas goes to the laundry room and grabs his daughter's leotard.

She yells as she comes running through the hallway, "Daddy! Do you know where my-" She stops and grabs the leotard from Lucas's hands. He laughs as she runs back to her room.

Sadie has gotten a lot of her traits from Lucas. His eyes, hair color, nose. But she has an extra toe on her left foot. Lucas remembers buying custom-made ballet slippers right after Sadie told him she wanted to start ballet. She never wanted to take those shoes off. But he was happy that she was passionate about something at a young age.

His daughter comes running out of her room with a scrunchy in her hand, "Daddy? Can you help me put my hair up in a bun, please?" She asks.

After a lot of practice, Lucas finally mastered the ballet bun that his daughter asked him to put in her hair. It was difficult to do when she would asked him to do it for the first time, but once Emma showed him how she had done it, it became a whole lot easier.

"Thank you daddy! Let me get my slippers, and I'll be ready!" She yelled.

It was chilly outside, so Lucas grabbed her tiny gray sweater. He remembers how sick she got that one time he didn't make her put a sweater on.

The small girl comes back to her father, and he quickly helps her put on her sweater. Hey grabs his keys, and the two of them leave their home.

The ballet studio smelled like fruit and lavender. Lucas sets his daughter down on her feet and she immediately runs over to her friends.

"Sadie!" He calls for her, acting like he was offended that she just ran away from him.

She giggles and runs back to him, "Sorry daddy," She apologizes, giving him a hug and a peck on his cheek, "Bye, love you!"

"Love you too sweetie! Have fun, and I'll be back soon!" He responds. As he is turning around, he is stopped by a woman. He turns around and immediately recognizes her.

"Wow! Long time, no see, huh Huckleberry?" Said the girl. The girl who had helped him when Sadie was a newborn. The girl he had hoped would never leave him.

"Maya?"
