A/N: Hello readers. As you may or may not have realised, this is a reupload. Basically I started writing this story a little while ago but kinda forgot about it. I've just started getting back into fanfic and I thought about starting this story again and so I'm reuploading the first 3 chapters that I wrote and then I'm going to continue. T

This is a sequel to the story Southern Glow which I wrote a whopping 3 years ago (when i was 15!). To be honest, you don't have to specfically read it to get this story but don't let me stop you. For this story, what you need to know is that Ella is Sawyer (who now calls himself James) and Kate's daughter. Sawyer knew she existed for a long time but only started to get to know her when she was in her teens. Now, she is married to Aaron Littleton and they have begun to start a life together.

Morning coffee – 1 week

"What is it supposed to be?"

"What? Can't you see it?"

"Maybe it's upside-down..."

"It's not upside-down!"

James wasn't enjoying this. He continued to stare at the painting, if you could call it that! He looked at Ella out of the corner of his eye and could see she now had her arms crossed, never a good sign. "Maybe he hasn't finished it yet. I mean, he might still need to do the most important part of it, the bit that makes it all make sense."

"Thank God you're not an art critic, otherwise Aaron would never get his work displayed."

"Could you at lest tell me what it is! It's really starting to piss me off."

"I'm gonna let you work that one out on your own." James sighed. "Coffee?"

He shook his head and saw a look of confusion show across his daughter's face. "Don't tell me you're cutting back Daddy."

"No, it's not that."

"Then what? As far as I can remember you've been a caffeine junkie."

James smirked. "I just don't want to make you jealous."

Ella smiled. "It's okay, didn't drink all that much before." She continued to talk as she walked to the kitchen. James followed her. "And anyway, I thought I read that scientists found the baby isn't affected."

"Now don't be taking chances Bambina, those scientists types will say anything to get you to do something."

"Ahhh, that's sweet. I only found out i was pregnant a week ago and you're already getting over-protective."

"Can you blame me? This little ones gonna be carrying the Ford torch to the next generation..."

"Littleton torch, I think you'll find."

"Yeah, yeah, don't remind me. Anyway, I need him to be strong, healthy. Live up to his grandfather's name."

Ella giggled and handed him the freshly poured cup. "Who said there was a name to live up to? And who said that they won't be a she?"

James shrugged his shoulders. "No-one I guess, I just know these things."

"Yeah right, just like you knew that..." Ella thought for a moment.

"Ha, see, you wanna think of something that I got wrong but you can't. I'm just too perfect."

"I'll have to track down Ana, see if she agrees."

"Hey, she dumped me because of her own issues, nothing to do with me."

Ella looked at her watch. James put up his hands.

"What are you doing?"

"If you want me to go, just say so. I won't hold a grudge."

Ella shrugged. "You can stay if you want. It's just Alex and me were gonna catch a movie around now."

"In the middle of the day? That's just sad."

"HEY!!!! I like it in the day, you get a discount and there's no annoying teenage kids with you to ruin the movie. If anything, it's common-sense!"

"Wait a minute, is Alex the friend whose Dad I beat up?"

Ela nodded. James downed the coffee like it was an espresso and picked up his jacket. "I'm outta here." He swiftly walked towards the door and Ella had to run to catch up with him. She stopped him in the hall.

"Y'know, I could always cancel."

"That's my girl. Wanna go eat? Satisfy any cravings?"

"Well, I do have a craving for something really expensive." She gave him her cutest smile.

"Ha ha, very funny."

"I learn from the master." She grabbed her coat and they walked out of the apartment together.
