Okay, people new story. Nancy's twenty - three in this fanfic. I'm not going to say anything else...I'll shut up. Please read and review.

"Today, Andy, his Daddy and I were playing 'aseball. I 'ike 'aseball," Nancy's two year old son said to her. They were lying on the bed in Nancy's room. Matt had wanted to sleep with her because it was raining, and he was afraid of the thunder.

"Uh - huh," Nancy answered, smiling at his enthusiasm.

"Mommy, do you know to play?"

"No, sweetie. Maybe you could teach me."

"I like Andy's Daddy. He always plays with us," Matt continued.

Nancy smiled in answer and kissed her son's cheek. They were quite for a moment.

"Mommy, why don't I have a Daddy?" Matt asked, his blue eyes full of curiosity.

Nancy was shocked.

Oh no, what am I going to say?

"Can we buy a Daddy from the shop? Please Mommy. I won't lose it,"Matt said innocently, before she could think of anything to say.

Nancy laughed. "No, baby. I don't think they sell Daddies in shops." She ruffled his hair.

You've got your father's hair, she thought.

"How do Mommies get Daddies then?"

Nancy smiled. She pulled Matt into her arms.

"Well, let's see. A Mommy meets a Daddy one fine day and they talk to each other, and after sometime they become best friends. That's how Mommy meets Daddy."

"Oh...don't you have best friend? Can he be my Daddy?" Matt asked eagerly.

Nancy shook her head no in sympathy.

"But I want a Daddy ,too," Matt said, pouting.

And I want a husband.

Nancy knew for a fact that there'd be a number of guys who'd want to marry her. But not the right one. Not the one that she loved.

Matt needs a father.

"What if I learned how to play baseball? You wouldn't need a Daddy then, would you?" she asked.

"I still want a Daddy," Matt whispered.

Nancy tried hard to keep the tears fom rolling down her cheeks.

"Matt, we have a great time together, don't we?"

Matt nodded and Nancy hugged him.

"Don't you want me to have a Daddy? That be fun," he asked.

Of course I want you to have a father. Your real father. The man that I really love.

"I love you, Matt," she said and kissed his forehead. Matt snuggled upto her.

"I 'uve you too, Mommy." He smiled.

You've got your father's smile.

Nancy reached out and flicked off the light.

When she was sure that Matt was asleep, she reached under her pillow and pulled out a picture that she always kept under there. She looked at the photograph of the father of her son for a long time. Then she kissed the picture of him goodnight, wishing she could kiss him instead.

I love you.
