Sorry about not posting for the other stories but I think I'm ganna focus on this one for awhile. Sorry if its bad but I finished writing it in 2012 and I have improved since then. I have the whole story finished on paper and I just need to get it up online. Sorry about any inconveniences.

Maddilyn came down stairs and grabbed a bag of trail mix from the kitchen. When she walked into the living room and sat on the couch."He what do you think of watching some crime shows?"

"That sounds great, Maddy." Janet sat down with a bowl of popcorn in her lap. "What channel?"

"Could I see the remote?" She was handed the remote. "Thanks."

Maddilyn and Janet had been watching crime shows for a couple hours when Janet asked. "You're okay with me marrying your father right?"

"I guess." Maddilyn didn't take her eyes off the T.V. "No one could replace Mom though. So don't surprised if I never call you that."

"I can understand." The older woman sighed. "My dad got divorced and married quite a few times. Never called any of them mother."

Maddily merely nodded her head in acknowledgement.

"Maddy?"

"Yeah?"

"I know how hard it is to lose someone you love." She put her hand on Maddilyn's shoulder. "If you ever want to talk about it I'm here."

"Thanks but really I'm okay." She looked at Janet.

"You sure?"

"Yeah." She went back to watching T.V.

The rest of the afternoon was spent watching shows and talking about Robert. At four the heard him coe inside. Maddilyn jumped up and ran toward the door.

"Daddy!" She hugged him.

"Hi, Maddy." He was surprised.

"Hey, Dad. Is it okay if I go to a camp tomorrow?" Maddilyn looked at him pleadingly. "I'm already packed."

"How long will you be gone?"

"A few weeks."

"Okay."

"Thank you, Daddy." She kissed his cheek.

"You're welcome, sweetie. Now," Robert held up a bag. "Who's hungry?"

He had gotten them the best tacos in town and when that had all finished them they still wanted more. After they were full they went to bed. Maddilyn closed her bedroom door ad changed into one of the skirts and the tank she got from Mr. Wriggly.
