"The lawyer called again this morning," Misty looked up from what she was working on in the greenhouse when Cordelia walked in, "They're insisting that I have to let him meet her," The wild blonde dropped her tools and took her gloves off before making her way to her girlfriend and wrapping her arms around her.

"What happens now?" Cordelia shook her head and buried her face into Misty's shoulder, "It's goin' ta be okay, baby," The Supreme breathed in shakily and nodded.

"He doesn't have any claim to her. This isn't right," Misty nodded and held her tighter, "My name is on that birth certificate and your name is on that birth certificate. He's not her father."

"I know, darlin'. He's not anythin'," Cordelia nodded, "What're ya gonna tell her?"

"I don't know. I need to find out when this damn meeting is supposed to happen and then think about it for a while I guess. She's going to be so confused," Misty nodded, "I mean she's never even once asked me about her father. She knew she didn't need him either."

"She's a strong little girl, Dee," Cordelia nodded, "And we'll be there whatever happens," Cordelia breathed in deeply before pulling back to look into blue eyes, "That's our baby, Cordelia. She's not goin' anywhere."

"Thank you, Misty. You're the best."

oooOOooOOooo

Cordelia pulled Misty by the hand into Calla's room a few days later and the girl looked up from her doll house when they entered, "Do you want to play with me?" Misty laughed and walked over before swinging the girl up into her arms.

"Maybe later, sweet pea. Do ya think ya can stop playin' for a minute so we can talk ta ya?"

"Sure," Calla leaned into Misty's body as she held her and the woman took a seat in the rocking chair that they had sat in the room when she was still a baby. Cordelia took a seat across from them on the edge of the bed.

"Is that your Halloween costume from last year?" Calla looked down at her princess dress and nodded, "It looks great baby. It goes really nice with the rain boots," Misty met her eyes over the girl's head and bit her lip to keep her laugh in.

"Thanks!" She giggled at her daughter's enthusiasm, "What do you wanna talk to me about?" Cordelia sighed and Misty took the lead.

"Hey, Calla lily, d'ya remember what we told ya about where babies come from?"

"A man and a woman can make a baby?" Misty nodded to her.

"Well, obviously, we're both women."

"Umm. Yeah?" Cordelia snorted and Misty glared playfully at her.

"What have ya noticed about your friends' parents?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean are they both women?"

"No, most of them have a mommy and daddy but some of them just have mommies or just daddies or two daddies," Cordelia grinned and nodded. She slid off the bed and sat on her knees in front of her two girls.

"So you know that at some point there was a man here to help bring you to us?" Calla thought for a minute before nodding.

"I guess that makes sense," Cordelia nodded.

"Well, umm…" Cordelia trailed off and dropped her eyes to her lap. She felt a little body drop down into her lap and picked her face back up to look at her daughter.

"What is it, mommy?" Cordelia looked up at Misty and she nodded her support.

"That man, your… father.. Wants to meet you," Calla stared at her for a moment before shaking her head.

"Nah, I'm good," Misty laughed loudly at that and Cordelia let a small grin take her face.

"I'm not sure that we have a choice, little one," Calla scrunched her nose up and shook her head.

"I don't wanna meet him though," Cordelia looked into the little blue eyes in front of her and sighed.

"I'll see what I can do, baby girl. What if we were with you though?"

"Maybe?"

oooOOooOOooo

"What do you mean one of us can't be there? She's three. She needs a legal guardian in the room with her," Cordelia pursed her lip as she listened to the woman over the phone, "She won't meet him without someone. She doesn't even want to meet him… I don't know… I may have someone who wouldn't mind being there with her… I don't understand why one of us can't just be there with her though," Cordelia nodded, "I'll let you know."

Cordelia stood and made her way through the house. She stood outside of a classroom for a few moments until the class let out and made her way inside where Madison was sat behind a desk with her phone out now that her younger students were gone.

"What's up, Cordy?" Cordelia rolled her eyes and made her way to the desk. Madison finally looked up.

"Will you do something for me?" Madison opened her mouth and Cordelia cut her off, "For Calla?"

"Yeah. I'll do something for the rug rat," Cordelia nodded, "What's going on?"

"Hank wants to meet her."

oooOOooOOooo

Madison looked up from her place on the couch when Calla climbed up beside her, "What are you wearing?" Calla looked down at herself. She had white tights on, a little pink dress, and white sandals, "You actually match?"

"I didn't feel bright and colorful today," Madison looked at the little girl and picked her up before walking up the stairs with her.

"And how do we make you feel bright and colorful, rug rat?" Calla shrugged and Madison opened the girl's closet, "What about this?" Calla looked at the bright yellow dress Madison held up and shook her head, "Alright, Cal, what's wrong?"

"Mommy's sad and so is mama and so am I and I don't wanna meet him but I gotta," Madison nodded and walked next door to the womens' bedroom. She knocked lightly and heard the woman tell her to come in. Cordelia looked up from the vanity that she was sat in front of and Madison could hear the shower running where Misty was in the bathroom.

"I think we have a sad little flower on our hands," Cordelia turned around and got up before walking over to the two girls. She looked down at her daughter's attire and bit her lip.

"What's wrong, Calla Paige?" The girl just shrugged and laid her head down on Madison's shoulder, "Is it your meeting today?" The girl nodded, "What's bothering you about it?"

"I don't wanna meet him," Cordelia nodded.

"You know, you don't have to talk to him or even look at him if you don't want to," Calla looked up into brown eyes.

"Really?"

"Really, baby," Calla scrunched her face up, "You just have to be in the same room," Calla nodded, "And Madison will be there with you," Calla looked up at Madison who nodded.

"Will you set him on fire if I tell you to?" Madison snorted out a laugh and met Cordelia's eyes. The Supreme was also holding her own laugh back.

"I don't think that's such a good idea, little one," Calla shrugged and her mother and looked up at Madison who leaned down and whispered something into her ear. Calla giggled and nodded to her.

"Can I go change now?"
