Demi's POV

3 years. 3 years since that night. That night that changed my life forever, I hadn't seen him. I didn't want to, I left him. I had a beautiful reminder of that night, a living, breathing reminder. My daughter; Madison.

I saw her father before me, he looked exactly as she remembered a man who could never blend into a crowd. Muscular shoulders, dark hair, soft brown eyes. But today there was something more.

A blonde girl, around my age appeared behind him. She gently kissed him on his smooth cheeks. But he ignored her. His eyes were on me.

A small, impatient hand tugged at hers. "What you looking at mommy?" she sounded anxious.

I gave her hand a gentle squeeze and replied "nothing sweetheart." I tried to ignore the trembling in my stomach, the unwanted surge of anxiety shooting high, filling her throat.

Oh dear lord, he's walking towards me now. My heart thudded so hard that my chest kind of hurt.

"Hey Demi" he said so casually. How could he not feel any awkwardness? Did he forget about our past or something?

"Hello Joe" I replied back. My voice was hoarse, I tried to clear it silently

"Who's that little girl on the playground, your niece, cousin?" he asked, gosh his voice made me melt.

"No, she's not my niece or my cousin" he looked at me his eyes filled with confusion. At that very moment Maddie came up to me.

"Mommy! Mommy! Did you see?" I leaned down to meet her eye level.

"Yes I did, very impressive honey" I kissed her on the forehead. She ran off to the swings again. I looked at Joe. His face was white, his expression was blank. I waved my hand in front of his face, still nothing.

Jesus Christ. If this was his reaction to my child. I shivered at the thought of this reaction when he found out that she was his daughter. He came back to life. Finally.

"yo.....you have a daughter huh?" he tried to sound normal about it, but I could hear the anger in his voice. I read his thoughts immediately. I knew he thought that I was married and this child was someone else's. He could get jealous so easily. I decided to play along with it.
