I watched as this small young girl came into my lockeroom right behind Jay, and the first thing I think is how beautiful she is. How she looked like some girl I used to date back in high school. Jay then suddenly springs upon the name I was putting this girls face to. Next thing I know Jay is telling me that this girl is my daughter.

"Is this a joke?" I ask, but I know it's not a joke. I can see it in her eyes that this girl is what a copy of me and Christi would look like, so why was I making myself feel this way. The girl looks at me with these vacant eyes that I know are mine, the color isn't mine, but the shape and the slight weird look…that's mine.

The girl shakes her head and hands me a note with slightly curved writing. Was it Christi? I open the folded papers slightly in my head I don't know what the hell to think.

Dear Adam,

I know it has been so long since the last time you've seen me. I mean I was eighteen and you were going out with my sister. After you left though Christi

was pregnant and soon gave birth to Kerri. Yes she is your daughter so don't

try denying it. Christi though, seven years ago died from cancer. I have taken good care of your daughter since then, and wanted to raise her as my own. Kerri is seventeen and will be turning

Eighteen in a month, so if you want she can come spend the time with me. Adam she needs to know her father, and I think it was right for me to do this. If you have any questions just ask Kerri to get me. Please get to know her. She is a sweet girl who knows what she wants to do. Also, please be patience with her, sometimes she doesn't like to use her words so please. My best of luck, and hope all goes well.

Lilly Livingston.

That's when I see when I look up at my daughter. I have an actual daughter, but I don't know how to react. I look at the note in my hands and shake my head a bit as if not to believe it. Christi died…that small girl who looked at me with such a amazing air. That same damn girl who told me that we were going to get married. That same girl who I took her virginity from. I guess it was that night where we made her.

"You're Christi's daughter, you're my daughter." I mutter. The girl nods, but doesn't say a word. Is this what she meant by being patient? I glance up at Jay who shrugs his shoulders, and I still can't picture myself a father. We were seventeen…I was an actual teenage father and never knew. What the hell is up with that?

I look as the girl digs through her wallet and hands me a small photo of what looked like her and Christi. She didn't change at all; her long blond hair, rippled down her shoulders, and blue eyes just like the little girls. They were laughing…they looked cute. I look back up at the girl and hold my hand out

"Nice to meet you finally I guess after all these years." I smile, but how do you even say that? How the hell did I even say that? I just found out I have a daughter and all I can say is nice to finally meet you? I must sound like the biggest jackass right now and it sucks to know that I don't know how to even feel yet.

The girl looks down at my hand then grasps it with her own tiny, cold fingers, it was nice, and she looked nice. When she didn't open her mouth I knew that I needed to kick myself in the balls. How could I just sit here and not know what to do? I thought it was like coded gene that once you find out you're a father you know exactly what to do.

"…Yeah nice to meet you." Kerri looked like she tried to smile. My God it was even heartbreaking. My eyes met up with Jay's and he knew what I was thinking.

"I'll take her around Adam?" Jay spoke first, breaking my thoughts. All I could do was nod.

"Yeah, just bring her back later I guess." I mutter, turning my back away from my daughter and my best friend.

Beautiful.

She stood there in front of me and I became an asshole in the matter of seconds. Lily…I remember Lily; that small quiet kid in the room when Christi and me would come home from a date or something. So I have a daughter. Christi… why didn't you tell me when I went back home to visit you? Where the hell was she then?

"I can't believe you just turned into the biggest asshole ever. "Jay came right into the room to break my thoughts. (Note: Beat Jay next time when he is not being dick. End Note)

"I can't believe I'm a father." It was the only thing that was trying to penetrate my skull.

"So what you going to do then papa?" Jay chuckled saying that word. He shook his head, taking in a deep breath. I was too lost in my own world that I didn't even notice her walk by with the Hardy's laughing by her side. We caught sight of each other; our eyes linked for a moment before anything even happened.

"I don't know…" I look up at him with lost eyes and it is the truth, what the hell do you do? "You want to teach me a bit?"

It was the most pathetic thing to ask, but Jay has kids, and that's all I knew.

Beautiful.

My mind goes to her, and that picture and all I could do was actually sit there and feel one small tear fall down my face.
