A/N Yay reviews! Thank you so much- sorry I didn't update quickly, I got the idea for 'for the first time' in my head and it wouldn't leave me alone 'til I wrote it. Hope you enjoy!

The morning after the wedding Cat was getting ready in her en-suite bathroom, pulling her hair into a ponytail and throwing on some trackies and a vest top before going into Lyssa's room. Jogging in the morning was a tradition they had shared since before Lyssa could remember.

She opened the door to Lyssa's room and saw her daughter in front of the mirror, her hair in a messy bun and she was wearing shorts and a t-shirt which proclaimed to the world that she had danced with the royal ballet in florescent yellow lettering.

Cat leant on the doorframe and waited for her to finish getting washed so they could go jog- remembering the day that she had made the decision to come to L.A. She was worried about Lyssa- she was the only person who could tell that despite putting up a couldn't-care-less front Lyssa was conflicted and upset about the recent developments in the father position which had been unoccupied for so long.

'You ready?' Cat asked her

'Yeah, let's go' Lyssa turned around and revealed that her cheeks were red and puffy from crying.

'Lyssa, sweetie, come here' Cat sat on the bed and motioned for her daughter to sit with her.

'It's just allergies mum- I'm fine' She protested but Cat could see through all of that.

'Do you want to talk about it?' Cat asked but Lyssa shook her head and buried herself on her mother's tiny lap where she cried for a good half an hour with Cat stroking her hair and whispering comfort to her.

After a while she sat up and began to talk.

'It's not that I don't like Andre,' she chose her words carefully 'It's just that it disgusts me that he would leave us for so long then expect me to have respect for him!' she exclaimed, flopping back on the bed.

'I know sweetie- I don't like it either- but we have to be polite.' Cat sighed 'Maybe he's changed'

'Caaatttt Lyyyssssaa! Andre's here to seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you!' Jade shouted up the stairs. Cat and Lyssa splashed water on their faces then, hand in hand, they made their way downstairs to see Andre.
