Lily sat at her desk going through some folders that Garret had left for her. Maddie, who just turned two was sleeping in her port-a-crib after running around the morgue. Lily smiled at her glad she was sleeping. She put her head down hopping she close her eyes for a minute, what seemed like a minute there was a soft knock on the door. Slowly getting up she made her way to the door, opening it slowly she walked into the hall, carefully closing the door behind her, looked at her guest.
Lily smiled at Bug, "Maddie is finally sleeping and i wish i was." he nodded "ever since she learned how to talk and walk she has stopped either."
Bug laughed "I told you I would have put her do last night so you could get some sleep." she sighed "Lily, you need to get some sleep, I want you rested not tired for this week"
"Who is keeping Madeline?" she asked. Bug gave her a look as if she should already know "In case you have forgotten he doesn't want her and we will be gone for a week, can't we find someone else?"
"Lily, relax, I talked to him already and he is willing to do this and wants to." he pulled her close "He is her father and she has a right to know him and he hasn't given her up, until he signs those papers he still has a right to her." Lily sighed "Its a week and Jordan can check up on them."
"Can't we get Kate and Nigel to watch her? There thinking about a baby and they lover Maddie, please, it would ease my mind alot." Bug shook his head and she sighed giving up "I'll try again later."
He laughed knowing she would try again "lily, you need to forgive Jeffrey for leaving you, he wants to help out and be in her life." she gave him a look" i know she's two but he's trying here, meet his halfway Lily, if not for us then for Madeline, let her know him"
Lily looked at her watch "I have work to finish before Maddie wakes up, but I'll think about it, promise." he kissed her and left to go finish his work.
Lily walked quietly back into her office to try and finish her work. Sitting down she went back to her folder but her mind wasn't into it. After thirty minutes she looked over at Maddie who was starting to wake up. She got up and went over to her.
"mama" the little girl said upon seeing lily "out" laughing a little she got her out "Play"
"Change then play, promise" lily said laying her down to do a quick change. When she finished she put her on her feet "now you can go play, right over there, later we will go for a walk."
"Daddy, see daddy" she said walking to the door and reached up for the handle "Daddy mama"
Lily sighed "I guess, I need to go somewhere." she picked her up and headed to Bug's office "Someone got up and she wanted you and I need to run and earn." she handed Maddie over who was trying her best to get to him "I need to make peace before we leave."
"Its ok I'll take her, don't kill him and hear him out." she scoffed at him "lily, please be nice."
She promised she would, kissed them both, dropped off her files and went to see Jeffrey, Slowly making her way to his house her mind raced with what she was going to tell him. Once there she walked up and knocked, praying he wouldn't be there.
