"He's still completely devastated that you left. He's been taking on missions and keeping himself buried under work. But he's been completely broken ever since you came here." I scoffed.

"He should've thought about that before he kissed another girl."

Cammie's POV-

Liz and Macey glanced at one another. I eyed the two of them

"What?" Macey sighed and turned towards me.

"Listen, Cam, maybe you were too hard on him this time. I think-"

"I was too hard on him?! He's the one who had his tongue halfway down that bitch's throat!" I snapped, slamming my plate down on the table.

"Cameron." Bex said quickly. I flinched, realizing that in my fury, I had forgotten about the children in the room. Kayla quietly picked up her empty plate and ran into the kitchen, climbing on a stool to drop it in the sink. Feeling guilty, I followed her into her room and gently closed the door behind me. She was sitting on the floor, half-heartedly pulling apart some Legos.

"Sweetie? Can you look at me, please?" She turned around, crossing her legs and wrapping her arms around a toy car. I sighed, smoothing her hair back.

"Mommy, why are you mad? I won't play tricks anymore." She looked up at me with watery eyes and my heart broke. I pulled her towards me, shushing her softly.

"No, baby, Mommy isn't mad at you. She just remembered something and got angry. I'm sorry that I made you upset." Kayla pulled away slightly.

"Are you mad at Daddy?" My eyes widened. "He's a bad Daddy for making you sad."

"No, no Kayla." The one thing I didn't want was for my daughter to hate Zachary. Despite the things that had happened, he was the sweetest father any man could have been. And even though I would rather go on missions than face him again, I didn't want Kayla to grow up thinking that she had a douche for a father. "Your Daddy was the best daddy ever." I told her, smiling. "He loves you very much."

"Then why did he miss my birthday?" My eyes teared up, and screwed them shut, refusing to let the tears fall.

"He's just busy, sweetie. Don't worry, he loves you no matter what." And as I held my daughter, I prayed that even if he forgot all about me, that he had not forgotten about his angel, the one who brought tears to his eyes when she first opened hers'.

Zach's POV-

I ran my hand down my face, exasperated. This guy would not shut up. Why did I have to take around the newbies anyways? I had to work too. But whatever the Director wants, he gets. Eventually, we reached the end of the line, and I spun around, cutting him off short.

"All right, that's it for today. You can go." Surprised, he just nodded and scampered off. I shook my head and walked back to my cubicle, praying that I had more paperwork. It was the only thing I could really do nowadays, when there weren't any missions for me to take. I needed anything to get my mind off of them. Off of her.

Cameron. God. I never forgave myself for the look on her face when she saw me with Shannet. I don't even know what I stayed with her for so long. Compared to Cameron, she was a piece of dirt under my shoe. Yet, I still gave up the best thing in my life. For some dirt. Round of applause for Zachary Goode.

And what do I get now? An empty life. I'm physically alive, but I'm so empty. I have nothing to live for except the hope that one day, I'll be able to find my girl and be able to apologize to her. I want to hold my daughter again and I want to grow old with Cammie. But I've been looking, and I've had no luck. I know that the girls know Cammie's address. But they all have been putting their spy knowledge to good use in protecting her whereabouts. The guys have been cut off from this knowledge too, but they still see their girls. Jonas and Grant more often than the Preston, since they have kids.

A buzzing from my desk phone cut off my thoughts and I pressed the button.

"Agent Goode here."

"Mission: CD34TY."

"I'm on my way."

Cammie's POV-

After wiping her face with a tissue, I took Kayla's hand and we both made our way back into the main room, where the girls (and Max) were waiting. Thankfully, no one commented on our disappearance as Kayla joined Max in front of the Wii system. They had both managed to push the coffee table to one side, making enough room for them to play.

Watching them out of the corner of my eye, I turned back towards Macey and Liz who had started packing up.

"Thank you guys, for stopping by. It was great seeing both of you again." I smiled at them and walked them to the door, waving as they walked back down the hallway.

I closed the door, and flopped down on the couch next to Bex, content with watching the kids play. After I had settled in the suite, Bex and Grant found their own place near by. With a 1 1/2 year old Max to take care of, they needed a bigger space and decided to buy a house about a walking distance from my building. Bex's old room, I converted into a guest area. Whenever Grant was on a mission, Bex and Max slept over. And the few times that I was on a mission, I sent Kayla over to Max's to stay. So all in all, it worked out pretty well.

I just hope that one day, Kayla will also have a father to look up to.

Hi everyone!
