Lilly then handcuffed Maria to a chair, before getting her escorted to a holding cell in the meantime. However that one glimpse made Scotty yearn to see his daughter even more; but did fully get a chance to see her face. He knew she was already beautiful especially considering whom her mother was; this whole thing was growing incredibly tired some by now.

By the weekend the two starting doing things together, like painting the downstairs of her apartment which was well in need of work. Scotty liked spending time with Lilly outside of work but knew that Melissa could fill the emptiness in his life, but now watching his girl now painting the walls while wearing very tiny shorts.

She had lost all her baby fat by now; looking just as slender as before. While painting him then remembered about the baseball tickets he had" Was hopin we go as a family".

Inspecting the tickets Lilly saw how much Scotty yearned to take their daughter out to her first game; she give anything now to let him experience just one night of being a proud father. Especially since he had bought her an outfit for it" Heard it's supposed be a good one".

"Want my two girls to go with me" speaking in a dull tone while continuing to paint the walls. Somehow Lilly did also knowing how much fun she would have; but also wanting to them to be a family. They had never once done anything together, knowing that Melissa would never look back and see those memories when she was older.



In fact now the two of them were prepared to fight against Maria in a lawsuit; hoping their wish of being a real family could in fact come true.

By the night of the game Lilly and Scotty went together as they made their way up the steps, as he saw fathers with their kids there. Knowing that their daughter wasn't wearing that outfit he had bought for her specifically for this event, which was supposed to be one he'd cherish.

Though the game was a good one especially when one of the players hit a homerun while Lilly cheered them on, as Scotty knew he didn't have Melissa in his arms to experience this moment with her. Instead he continued watching the game while Lilly whom seemed happy to be out with him. That also was important to him, knowing she too needed a break from playing Mommy all the time.

However the two had fun together as Lilly felt so happy just being with him; but then spotted him buying something for Melissa knowing he had wanted to experience this with her. Though she was still an infant Scotty wanted to at least have her there with him during the game, wanting to start a tradition of seeing a game just father& daughter.

Inside of the bag as a tiny jersey and hat, as Lilly took it from him" Can't blame you for feeling this way, but we are going to fight this together. I want us to be a family".

"Also love you" he whispered before capturing her lips several times as they continued enjoying more of this romance between them. However by the time they had gotten back to her apartment the two spent 

a good long time still making out inside of his car" Need you Lil" he whispered before deepening their kiss.

Letting out a moan Lilly too practically craved more passion as her body literally screamed inside wanting pleasure but knew she had to go in and check on their daughter. Pulling away she then straighten herself up" Tell Melissa I love her" Scotty said.

"Always do"

He then let out another sigh but silently vowed to never give up hope. Every when they were both counting down to the court date, but when they day finally came around Lilly put forth so much demanding that they give him visitation rights. However everything remained the same, making Scotty push even more to see their daughter.

"Have no clue how much I love her; you took a chance for me to be a dad to our daughter away. Think this is going to not hurt Melissa it will, not having me in her life does something to a kid " pausing to take in a breath" I ain't someone who could abuse a child ; she's my blood" looking towards Lilly" our Blood you don't hurt Blood".

Scotty wasn't about to give up anytime soon" I'm her dad always will be, there are such I have to still teach her. Ain't fair she only has her mother not me".

At the end the courts then decided to wait another three weeks; as the two walked out terribly disappointed. Somehow they landed up back at her place while Lilly continued holding Melissa upstairs 

whom was clearly afraid of the thunder and lightning knowing that she'd benefit from being with her father right now.

In the next room Scotty sat on Lilly does bed hate hearing his little girl crying out; feeling the father inside of him once came wanting to come out. He liked that feeling but couldn't unleash it knowing he could be one according to the law. As the rain began fall down harder Scotty wanted to just lie on the bed with his two girls; just being a family.

He hated going to sleep alone, especially now hearing a certain song on the radio.

Lonely, yeah that's the word.
I leave my heart when I leave her.
The days go on forever,
and the nights do too.

One evening out on the road,
half a world away from home,
I thought she was sleeping
When the call came through.

I said, "Darling, it's late.
Is everything okay?"
And silence took over the room.

Til she said,
"I just love you.
I don't know why, I just do.
When are you coming home?"
"I'm coming home soon.


And I just love you too."

Lonely lets me be,
And while she sets me free,
I close my eyes and
I dream of her.

She's lost in my arms,
Her head on my heart.
And softly she whispers the words...

"I just love you.
I don't know why, I just do.
When are you coming home?"
"I'm coming home soon.
And I just love you too."

I'll never stop being there,
I'm a boy, you're a girl
Who knows exactly what to say.

"I just love you.
I don't know why,
I just do.
When are you coming home?"
"I'm coming home soon.
And I just love you too."



Scotty remembered hearing the disc jockey saying it was about a parent/ child bonds which to him he had never gotten to experience. Now sitting on the stairs he leaned his head up against the wall, waiting to have that bond with her.

"I'm right here" he thought" I miss you so much" as tears began sliding down his cheeks. His heart too was crying alone with the clouds outside knowing how important Melissa was to him. Breathing out he then saw the door opening hoping he could see his beautiful little girl.

Instead Lilly stood there seeing how broken hearted he was" She's asleep".

"Let me go in there" whispering softly" Just need to tell her something myself" feeling the father inside of him wanting to come out. Scotty then stood up with his fatherly face before breaking down some more as Lilly held him close, while seeing his hand reaching out wanting to touch his daughters for the first time.

The bond that he needed to create was now hammering inside of him" I love her so much" he said while feeling Lilly taking in a breath.
