I do not own these characters most of them belong to the Kings, Madison belongs to thegoodmarble. She gave me permission to use the character in my own story.

…

A man in his mid-fifties is busy doing a ballistics test when he receives a call from a lawyer. "Hello is this a Mr. Kurt McVeigh?" Asks the oddball Elsbeth Tascioni.

"Whose asking."

"I am Elsbeth Tascioni I am the lawyer carrying out the will of a Miss Trudy Anne Kent, do you know her?" Kurt thinks back to almost 14 years ago when he had a girlfriend by that name. He thought it didn't end well with her throwing him out for not talking enough to her.

"Yes, I do someone by that name. I haven't seen her in many years though." Kurt sets back in his chair not knowing will this will go, but remembers hearing about this woman from Diane.

"It says here that her daughter Madison Mcveigh Kent is your daughter too and that if she dies she is to go live with her father." Kurt almost drops the phone as Diane walks into his workshop she looks at him as she walks up to him she puts her hands on his shoulders to feel him extremely tense.

Kurt puts the phone back to his ear "you are saying that I have had a daughter for 13 years and did not know about her existence until just now." Diane looks at him nervously thinking about what this will mean for their relationship that just started up again. Should she have gone out with Jack instead of telling him that she is back with a guy she has strong feelings for. Kurt puts his other hand over Diane's to anchor him to what he knows.

"I am saying that there is a young teenager that is now without her mother and as her father you have the right to have her under your care."

"Miss Tascioni, I know nothing about children, but I will have to have my lawyer and Lockhart and Gardner look over this will to see if it is all legit. I wouldn't want to yank anyone from the place that they love after losing the only parent that they have known their whole life and moving out to the country with visits all over the country for my job."

"Wait you work alongside Lockhart and Gardner? I love them, especially Alilica Florrick she is amazing. I would hate to be on the opposite side of anyone from that firm." Diane silently asks for the phone.

"Elsbeth Tascioni, this is Diane Lockhart." Diane pulls the phone away from her ear at Elsbeth's excited tone.

"Oh, Diane it is so great to talk to you, but why are you talking on 's phone?"

"I was right by him when he found out and was wondering if you can send a copy of the Last Will and Testament to my office where I will have one of my associates look it over." Kurt pulls Diane into his lap as a silent thank you.

"Why can't you read it over?" Elsbeth thinks she may know the answer to that as she remembers a story from a few years ago about an expert witness being outed on the stand to be sleeping with Diane, but also remembers that she represented him about a year later in a civil case.

"I am involved with Mr. McVeigh." Kurt wraps his arms around Diane and kisses the back of her neck. "I can get anyone at my firm to read it as they are not or ever have been as close to Kurt as I am."

"Can you get Alicia, I love her." Diane shakes her head at the nature of the lawyer that has helped out many people that she knows.

"Ok, I can get Alicia to look it over to make sure that Kurt is in the clear and can we get a DNA test." Diane looks at Kurt making sure he is ok with it.

"You may not need that. I have seen pictures of Mr. McVeigh and have met with Ms. Kent they do look like father and daughter, same face shape, nose and eyes." Diane's heart speeds up realizing that Kurt may really be a father of a teenager a female one at that.

"Ok, when can they meet?" She looks at Kurt hoping that he doesn't have any cases out of state so that he can take care of a young girl in mourning. She turns to Kurt "one second Elsbeth, Kurt do you have any cases coming in the near future out of state?"

"No, I do not." She smiles at him.

"Good, I know how much you love taking those cases, but until Madison get's settled and maybe for even longer you can't take cases out of the state again." Kurt barries his head in her neck not happy about that, but understands that he now has someone that is more important. "I will help you every step of the way. You may need a women's voice sometimes especially when it comes to lady problems."

"Thank you," Kurt mumbles into her neck.

"I'm back Elsbeth, I just had to talk to Kurt."

"That's fine how does Saturday sound?" Diane turns around and mouths Saturday to Kurt he nods his head for an ok.

"He can be there."

"Great, we will be at the park." Elsbeth hangs up as Diane fully turns around and places her legs near Kurt's hips and gives me a hug and kisses his forehead. She continues to hold him for a few hours until he starts to snore. She nudges him awake.

"What?"

"I think it's time for bed and maybe a small dinner, so we can get a pleasant nights sleep," Kurt grumbles his agreement. Diane gets off his lap and offers her hand to help him up from his chair they head out of the workshop and head into the house.

"Di," Kurt says as she is preparing them sandwiches.

"Yes, Kurt."

"Thank you for today."

Diane turns around and walks over to him, she puts her arms around his neck. "Kurt, you never need to thank me for something like that. I love you, and we are a couple. You just have a slight advantage than most people as I am a top Chicago litigator. Now, let's eat and go to bed so we can fall asleep in each other's arms. She gives him a small kiss. She grabs their plates and sets them n the table. They eat and head to bed. "Good night, Kurt I love you."

"Good night Diane, I love you too." Kurt leans to Diane and kisses her deeply, they don't stop until air becomes a necessity. As they part they open their eyes at the same time. Diane curls into Kurt as they both fall into a deep sleep dreaming about this weekend.

…The Next Day…..

"Alicia, I need you in my office," Diane says as she pokes her head into Alicia's office early the next morning.

Alicia walks into Diane's office to see the older woman sitting in her chair waiting for her. "I need to ask you to look over a will. This will is from a former girlfriend of Kurt's that resulted in a kid he just found out about last night."

"Why can't you look at it?" Diane looks into Alicia's eyes.

"I am in a relationship with Kurt, and it will have to be someone not emotionally involved with the father. Elsbeth Tascioni is faxing it over for you to look it over, and Kurt is meeting them on Saturday."

"So you are going to be a mother figure now."

"I will be there for Kurt in any capacity that I can."

Alicia smiles, "if the two of you need any advice I am one call away."

"That is great as the both of us are being thrown into a whirlwind of parenthood, of course, I will look at it." Around noon the Last Will and Testament is faxed over to Lockhart and Gardner for Alicia to read after she looks over it she goes over to Diane's office. "Everything looks in order for Kurt and he is the father. She included a birth certificate of Madison McVeigh Kent, she was born on September 22, 1998."
