This is your daughter.

"Hey Troy man, can I talk to you in your room real quick?" Chad asked as Troy walked in.

"Yea sure." Troy answered following Chad into his room.

"What is going on here dude?" Chad asked.

"Corrie, is my daughter…" Troy said slowly letting a lot of breath out.

"Your daughter? How does anyone know if she's your daughter or not?" Chad asked.

"Her mother is… Gabriella." Troy told Chad.

"How did she know you are her father?" Chad asked.

"Don't ever think Gabriella would lie about something like this!" Troy almost yelled.

"Sorry dude… I know you still love her." Chad said.

"Of course I do, I always have." Troy told Chad.

"Wait, why is Corrie here?" Chad asked.

"Gabriella was in an accident… it put her into a coma." Troy sighed sadly.

"Why did she have to come here?" Chad asked.

"I'm her dad." Troy said.

"Well I have to go, bye!" Chad said running out the door. Troy knew he just didn't want to help him with Corrie. Troy sighed and walked into the living room and sat next to Corrie on the couch.

"So, Corrie… do you know why you're here?" Troy asked.

"Grandma said I had to come and live with you because mommy is sleeping…" Corrie said.

"Ok, has mommy ever mentioned me?" Troy asked.

"Well, we watch your games sometimes and she always says she loves you and Chad." Corrie said. It made Troy's heart flutter. He figured whether she loved him as she used to or as the father of her child, was still good.

"Well I'm glad you came to live with me for a while." Troy said. He didn't know how this would turn out but he already loved his daughter and he was glad she was there with him.

"Why am I here?" Corrie asked.

"Uh… well… I… Ok, I'm going to come straight out and say this… I'm your father." Troy said quietly.

"You're my dad?" Corrie asked slightly confused.

"Yea…" Troy said looking her in the eye.

"Then why did you leave me and mommy?" Corrie asked getting a little upset.

"Well your mother got pregnant when we were eighteen… I left for college without knowing I had an unborn daughter." Troy told his daughter.

"And mommy didn't tell you?" Corrie asked.

"No, she knew that if I knew about you… I would have ditched my basketball dreams and came to her aid." Troy told her. He wasn't sure if he should have told her.

"When did you find out?" Corrie asked.

"About forty-five minutes ago…" Troy said noticing the time was twelve forty-five.

"Oh… I want mommy." Corrie stated.

"I'm sorry… mommy isn't available, but your daddy is." Troy said looking down at the girl who just turned from upset to sad thinking about her mom. Corrie just scooted closer to Troy and leaned on him. Troy realized what she was doing and pulled her onto her lap and wrapped his arms around her.

"Daddy… will mommy be ok?" She asked sadly.

"Truthfully? I don't know baby girl." Troy said holding her tight to him as if she were the most precious diamond to a poor man.

"I'm glad you're my daddy." Corrie told her father.

"I'm glad you're my daughter." Troy said back.

"If I go back with mommy… what will happen with you?" Corrie asked.

"I don't know baby girl, but I wouldn't worry about it know… Are you hungry?" Troy asked.

"Yea." Corrie said.

"I'll go make something." Troy said setting Corrie down next to him and going to his cupboards.

"What do you have?" Corrie asked.

"Nothing… so how about a pizza?" Troy asked looking into his empty cupboards… he usually ate out.

"Yea ok!" Corrie said cheerfully.

"Come on." Troy said leading her to the kitchen. He called the pizza man and not too long later their pizza was delivered. After they ate Troy led Corrie out to the backyard.

"Whoa! You have a basketball court in your backyard?" Corrie asked.

"Yea, I practice a lot." Troy told her.

"Can I have a ball?" Corrie asked.

"Sure." Troy said picking up the ball on the ground and throwing it to her.

"Mommy said my daddy was good at basketball… I didn't think he was a basketball star though!" Corrie laughed.

"Show me what you got." Troy said. Corrie positioned herself and the ball swooped through the hoop.

"And that's how you shoot!" Corrie exclaimed.

"Whoa, you're good kid." Troy said.

"Thanks it's in my genes…" Corrie said making Troy raise an eyebrow and steal the ball from her. They started dribbling and faking… of course Troy went easy on her but she was outstanding for a seven-year-old.

"Very impressive Ms. Bolton." Troy said.

"Not so bad yourself daddy." Corrie said before she took off and ran towards the door.

"Hey you! Get back here." Troy yelled playfully. He caught up to her and picked her up. He tickled her and picked her up over his head.

"Ahh!" Corrie laughed.

"Here we go." Troy said and pretended to almost throw her but he caught her in his arms, brought her inside, and threw her on the couch as she laughed. Soon enough the two were tired and sat on the couch together. Troy turned the TV on and turned it to the Disney channel. There was a movie playing so Troy left it there and they watched it.

When the movie was over, the two were sleeping peacefully on the couch together. Troy was leaning against the armrest and his legs were spread across the couch, while Corrie was lying next to him with her head rested on his arm.
