A/N Yeah Scott is a real stinker in this, but he has a few redeeming qualities, not many,lol, but a few. Thank you guys for the reviews!

"Aggggg!" Bailey said banging her head on the table.

Emma giggled and looked up at her mother, they were in Bailey's work room, she had a identical table to her mothers, just a smaller version.

Bailey looked over at her daughter. "Mommy is going nuts, I cant get the new dragon to look right, his eyes are not right."

Emma stood and looked at her mothers sketch. "It's pretty, but..."

Bailey grinned. "The eyes aren't right."

"Uhh huh." The little girl nodded.

Bailey sat back in her chair. "He's going to be different, a little fierce, but loyal, its going to take Keta a little while to be friends with him."

Emma nodded. "I cant wait to read the story Mama."

Bailey grinned at her daughter. "Well it will be a little bit yet, thats not done either, I have to get him to look right first."

Emma nodded. "Can I get the first copy?." Bailey grinned. "A signed one, yes, you always do." The little girl smiled and looked back down at her own work.

Bailey studied her daughters drawing, the little girl had talent, it was a picture of a park with trees and playground. "Thats good Emma, where is that?"

Emma kept her eyes on the picture. "The bad man took me there."

Bailey sighed, thats what she called Josh. "Emma do you want to talk about it?" She gently questioned.

Emma shook her head and kept drawing. Bailey felt like crying, she didn't know what to do to help Emma.

"Mama?"

"Yes Baby?" Bailey said looking down at her daughter.

"I think the dragon has nice eyes, not mean ones, maybe you could make them nice eyes." Emma said.

Bailey nodded. "Okay honey, I'll try that." Bailey got up and hugged her daughter, and Emma wrapped her arms around her mother. Bailey just hoped things got better with Emma, the child was way too serious.

Bailey yawned and stretched as she stood beside the coffee machine, it was four in the morning, Emma had another nightmare and it took a while to get her settled back down to sleep, another side effect thanks to Josh. She had nightmares at least three times a week, it was all Bailey could do to get her calmed down and back to sleep.

Bailey took the coffee and went to sit on her deck., she loved to sit out here, it was to dark to see the waves really, but she could hear them and the tangy smell of salt in the air , it made her curly hair, even curlier, and the wind whipped the curls about her head, she didn't care, she was relaxed and it was peaceful out here.

Her thoughts were pulled to that jerk at the gym yesterday, God what a loser, she couldn't imagine a guy using lame lines like that, he was handsome no doubt, but his personality left a lot to be desired.

Besides, she didn't want or need another man, she screwed up with the first two, no more for her, she just wanted to raise her daughter in peace and quite, no drama that men brought with them.

Bailey sat there until Giselle showed up at five, the older blond walked up the stairs and went in the house to grab some coffee, she came back out and sat down in one of the deck chairs. "Another nightmare?"

Bailey nodded. "A bad one, it took forever to calm her down."

"Time will works it magic on her, she'll forget what happened in a few years, kids are resilient." Giselle said.

Bailey nodded. "I hope so."

"So I was talking to Donny, he said some guy tried to hit on you at the gym and that you ripped him a new one and slapped him." Giselle said smiling.

Bailey laughed. "He offered to make me come five times."

Giselle burst out laughing. "And you slapped him, you should have took him up on it."

Bailey shook her head. "I'm not looking for a man..."

Giselle interrupted her. "Sex, you need sex, I know it must have been a while, you need to work off some tension." She said sipping the steaming coffee.

"Umm thats why I run and work out, no thanks." Bailey said and got up. "At least I don't have to see that jerk again."

Giselle grinned. "I wouldn't count on that, he's your next door neighbor."

Bailey's mouth fell open. "What?"

"Yes dear, Donny told me it was Scott Hall, he lives down the beach, his house is right there, he's a handsome devil, big flirt, retired wrestler, yeah just what a girl needs to work off some stress." Giselle said and got up to go get more coffee. Bailey followed her. "Do you know him?"

"Yes, he's been here longer than me, but I know him to speak to him, not close friends or anything." Giselle said pouring more coffee.

"Great." Bailey said flopping down in the kitchen chair. "Now I cant even leave my house."

Giselle sat down across from her. "Don't overreact, Scott's not a weirdo, he's a nice man in fact, a little stuck on himself, yes, but he's not all that bad, sure he's a whore, but most men are, until they meet the right woman."

Bailey stood up. "There is not a woman alive thats right for that horse's ass."

Giselle watched her leave and walked outside as Bailey ran down the beach. "Oh you might be surprised." She said grinning.

Scott smirked as he fell into a jog behind her, he couldn't keep his mind off this little filly, her slapping him did nothing to cool his libido, in fact it made him want her more, she held her passion just under control, boy he bet she was a tiger in bed. "Hey baby."

Bailey jumped and clutched her chest turning around to glare at him. "You big ape, you scared the shit outta me."

Scott came to a stop and grinned. "Now baby, you know you're thrilled to see me, lets go back to my place." he said as his eyes ran down her body. God she was so hot, her large breasts heaving as she tried to catch her breath. "Listen pervert, I don't like you, go away."

Scott took a step closer. " Baby, I can make you come so hard, I bet thats just what you need, you're way too uptight."

Bailey had enough, she reached down and pulled off her running shoe. "You freak." She yelled and started hitting him with her shoe.

"Hey calm down!" he yelled, backing up as the shoe smacked his arm.

"Fuck I was aiming for that thick skull of yours." She said still slapping him with the bottom of the shoe.

"Baby stop, now is that anyway to make friends." She kept advancing, hitting him harder. "My fucking name is not baby."

The shoe finally made contact with his head and he yelped. "Owww dammit, stop it."

Bailey stopped but still held the shoe up. "Now go away and leave me alone, or I will beat your brains out."

Scott sighed. "Fine okay, but thats just for now..." He backed up and she held the shoe high once more. "I will be seeing you later Bailey." he said and turned and jogged back toward his house.

"Hey how do you know my name jerko?" She yelled after him, but all she heard in return was his laughter ringing out.

"Fuck." She muttered putting her shoe back on, what was she going to have to beat this man every morning to keep him away from her?

Scott smiled as he ran up on his deck, the sweet little thing had dropped her keys, they must have been clipped to her shorts, he would have to return them, he laughed as he laid them on his counter and made fresh coffee, he loved a challenge and she sure was one, he didn't have any problems getting any woman he wanted, Bailey was a challenge and he loved a challenge.

She would give in, they all did eventually, he rubbed the sore spot on the back of his head and grinned, coming after him with her shoe, that was different , he might just have to pay her back when he got her in his bed, smack that hot ass of hers , oh this was going to be fun.

He sat down and sipped his hot coffee, she had beautiful tattoo's, her arms had different dragons on them, the artwork was beautiful, he had noted two Celtic circles around her ankles.

He wanted nothing more than a chance to explore her for tattoo's further. Scott vowed, he would have her in his bed. There was something about her that made him so damn horny, he shrugged, he just needed to get her out of his system, she was just new thats all.

"Emma , want to go to the park?" She asked her daughter. Emma looked up from the book she was looking at . "No, Mama."

Bailey sighed, the child hardly left the house anymore, she looked at her dressed in her pink ice cream shirt and little denim shorts, her matching ice cream bows in her black curls, she looked like a angel. "How about we walk on the beach, look for seashells?"

"No, Mama." the little girl went back to her book. Bailey turned and went in the kitchen to pulled the cookies out of the oven she had baked for Emma , it was her favorite, peanut butter cookies with Hershey kisses in the middle.

"MAMA!"

"In here baby." She called, she could hear the panic in Emma's voice.

Emma came running in and hugged her mother. "I was getting your cookies from the oven."

Emma smiled and jumped in the kitchen chair. "I love peanut butter Kisses."

Bailey kissed her cheek. "I know you do, that why I made them especially for my baby."

Bailey poured them both a glass of milk and they dived into the cookies. "Mama, is the new dragon done yet?"

"No, I cant get him right, I'll figure it out soon, hopefully, I need a name for him too, maybe you can work on that for me."

Emma thought about it. "I'll try."

Bailey smiled. "Thank you Emma, you're a big help."

The little girl smiled and went back to eating her cookies.

Scott walked up the back steps to the beach house. He had showered, and combed his long dark hair, he had on tight jeans and a white shirt, he knew he looked damn good. He rang the doorbell.

Bailey opened the door"Oh Good Lord, what do I have to do, shoot you!"

Scott grinned, damn she was pretty. "Now don't hit me again, I think you gave me a concussion with your shoe." He said leaning on her door.

"Go away." She said just as her cell rang, she picked up her phone. "Hello."

"Yeah, I'm working on it." She said making a shooing motion at Scott, he grinned and held up her keys dangling them just out of her reach, she sighed and waved him in. "I have to take this call, wait right here." She said and went back to her phone call.

Scott watched her walk toward the kitchen, he smiled at the site of in cutoffs and a tank top, her body was gorgeous.

Scott moved into the living room, it was big and spacious, she had good taste, simple, but classic, and a big screen TV, he liked that, most women had little bitty TV's.

A big bay window with a view of the ocean. He looked around a bit and sighed, how was he supposed to get her in bed, if she didn't get off the phone.

He looked up when a small figure walked into the room from the hallway. There was no question who the kid belonged to, she looked like her mother, exactly like her mother, but what got to him was the look of terror on her face, not the normal, I'm shy around strangers, this was terror.

Scott had nothing against kids, he thought they were cute enough, he didn't hate them, just never wanted any his self, but he had his winning charm on his side. "Hey there Niblet, you look just like your pretty mama." He said giving her his most charming grin.

Emma watched him, scared to death at first, she heard her mama talking on the phone. She didn't move. "My name is Emma, not Niblet." She said correcting him.

Scott's grin got even bigger. "Yeah, your just like your mama, well I happen to like Niblet, beside you're about the size of a Niblet, but much prettier." he said and sat down on the couch.

Emma watched him for a minute and then walked around the couch. "What's a niblet?" She asked edging closer.

"Well its corn, baby corn, niblets." He said

Emma giggled. "I'm not no baby corn."

Scott laughed. "I say you are, like I said a lot prettier, come sit down, I don't bite, I'll tell you a story."

Emma flopped down beside him. "I like stories."

Bailey finally hung up and sighed, her publisher was driving her crazy, she had several books going at one time, there was always a deadline.

She hadn't meant to leave the pervert for so long, but she must have dropped her keys this morning, now she had to get them away from him.

She walked into the living room and froze, her baby was sitting beside that jackass, fear froze her, all her old fears, she didn't want anyone near her baby. Then she looked again, Emma was smiling at him, he was telling her a story and she was laughing, if she acted crazy, Emma would freak out. Scott looked up and seen the same look of fear on her face and he had saw on Emma's.

He was confused, yeah he was a womanizer, but damn wasn't some criminal, hell he liked kids for the most part.

"Emma baby, you're up from your nap." She said wanting to snatch her daughter in her arms.

Emma smiled at her mother. "Scott told me a story about Niblets, he's a mouse that ate everything in site and he got too big to fit in his mouse hole."

Bailey looked at Scott like he was a alien, he was a toad, yet he managed to make her baby smile, what the hell?

"Thats nice honey, but Scott has to go." She said turning her gaze on the man.

Scott stood and tossed her keys on her table.

"I'll see you around Niblet." He said smiling at the little girl.

"Where do you live?" Emma asked.

"Right next door." He said.

"Emma, I'll be right back, go get you a a juice box."

Emma looked at Scott one last time and left the living room. Bailey looked at Scott. "Alright thanks for bringing my keys back, now get out."

Scott laughed. "You're starting to hurt my feelings, I'll think you don't like me."

Bailey frowned at him. "I don't like you and don't try to use my daughter to get on my good side."

Scott did laugh then. "I don't need to use a defenseless kid to get what I want, you're barking up the wrong tree, I'll have you, the kid has nothing to do with it, she's sweet kid, I was just trying to be nice, excuse me."

Bailey held the door open for him. "Go away."

Scott leaned toward her. "How about a kiss?"

"You make me want to scream." She said becoming frustrated. "Well thats a step in the right direction, I want to make you scream too."

"GO." She hissed at him.

"See ya doll." He said and walked off. Frustrated she slammed the door and went to the kitchen.

Emma was sitting at the table drinking her juice box. "Mama, Scott told me a good story."

"Thats nice sweetie." She said grabbing a cup of coffee. "He calls me Niblet, I like it."

Bailey stopped and looked at her daughter, she was smiling, happy even, good grief, she liked that idiot.

"Mama?"

"Yes baby?" She said sitting down.

"When can he come back to play?"

Bailey groaned to herself, she just hoped Emma forgot all about that jerk, because he was nothing but trouble.
