Helloooo world! I'm sooo sorry it's been forever, but I will attempt to update ALL THREE of my stories today! I'd like to give a little shout-out to my new friend K Kelly! Thanks for all the sweet comments! Whale, enjoy!


She'd fallen asleep, her teeny thumb stuck in her mouth.

Blanche smiled, walking back down to talk with Buck, who was sitting in his chair. She kissed his head and sighed.

"Talk to me.. Please." She sat down in his lap and held onto him.

"We… We can't keep her, Blanche.. There are orphanages."

"I can't do that to her," she whispered.

"You have to.. You do, Blanche." He said.

"I want her," she whispered. "I want to keep her. I can't have kids, Buck… This could be our chance. We could be a family."

"What makes you so sure you can't have kids, baby?" He asked, stroking her cheek. Blanche sighed.

"Before I married you.. My mother made me marry this guy when I was sixteen. I didn't want to, but she said it'd be good for me, so I did. He wasn't a nice man and… He hurt me a lot.. In a lot of different ways. Sometimes he'd just get drunk and yell.. Other times he'd beat me.. Sometimes worse." She hugged him. "The doctors told me I couldn't.. They were right! We've been trying and it's just no use!" She cried, and he gently rubbed her back.

"I know, I know, baby.. But we just don't have enough money for a little girl like this. She could be sick, for all we know! What happened to her parents? Did they just abandon her?"

"They're dead, Buck. She doesn't have anyone else," she said. Buck sighed before nodding slowly.

"Alright, alright.. She can stay. But if she causes an ounce of trouble, she's outta here." Blanche giggled, kissing him passionately.

"Thank you, Daddy!" He chuckled softly, kissing her back before easing her off of his lap and standing up.

"Let's go to bed."

"Oh, she's in our bed, by the way.. We can sleep in the guest room." She smiled, taking his hand. He nodded.

"We'll fix the guest room up for her tomorrow.." She nodded, crawling into bed behind him after throwing on a nightgown. They both fell asleep, and the house was quiet.


There we go, kids.

DISCLAIMER: The usual... I don't own any of them. *sad Kat*
