Chapter 3
The next day as Amy promised, she and Bailey went shopping. Their first stop was Neiman Marcus. They walked into the children's section and Bailey's face immediately glowed. "Wow, look at this dress," she said excitedly. "How old are you Bailey?" Amy asked. "I'm 5 years old," Bailey answered proudly. "Ok. Let's find the 5 year old section," Amy said taking her hand. They finally found the section and Bailey was astounded. She had never seen such beautiful clothing. "What kind of clothes would you like?" Amy asked politely. "I'd like a dress. I've never had a dress before," Bailey said sadly. Amy felt sad as well. "Pick out any dress you'd like," Amy said smiling. "Really and truly?" Bailey asked surprised.
"Really and truly," Amy reassured her. Bailey smiled and started to look for a dress while Amy looked for pants and shirts. Two minutes later Bailey came out wearing a summer dress with strawberries on it. "You look so cute," Amy said kissing her cheek. "Can I please have this one?" Bailey asked nervously.
"Of course you can. Here, I picked out these for you too," Amy replied showing her 2 pairs of pants and 3 shirts. Bailey hugged her tightly. "Even if I have only known you for a day, I love you."
Amy hugged her back. "I love you too sweetie." After their big day of shopping, they returned to the hotel room to find Jeff and Matt arguing. "You can't keep a kid you don't even know," Jeff said.
"I know that, but I want her. This is Samantha's child and I have a feeling that it's mine," Matt said happily. "Oh don't be ridiculous Matt. This isn't E true Hollywood story," Jeff said meanly. "Jeff, if you don't like the decision I've made, then stay out of it. I'm going to treat her like a daughter, cause she needs someone to love. And I am open to her for love and support," Matt said sternly. Jeff shrugged and walked towards the door. "Amy, think about this and try to convince him to give her up. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just for his own good," Jeff said. Bailey made a sad face and looked at Jeff meanly. "So you don't want to be my uncle and love me?" Bailey asked. "It's not that sweetie. You're a beautiful little girl. Just some things in life aren't as easy as they seem," he said. He kissed Amy on the cheek and walked out the door.
Bailey rushed to Matt. "Guess what I got?" she asked smiling. "HMMMMMM...I don't know, what did you get?" he asked. He grabbed the bag Amy had and showed it to him. Amy started to laugh. "This whole day she's been jumpy," she said smiling. "Can I show you how I look?" Bailey asked. "Sure, go change," Matt replied smiling. As she ran into the bathroom, Amy sat on the bed with him. "You did get her pajamas and a toothbrush, right?" he asked. "Don't worry Matt. She's been taken care of," Amy said laughing.
"Thank you Amy," he said as he hugged her. Through the creak in the door, Bailey watched them. She smiled. She loved seeing them together even if they weren't really together. She shrugged and opened the door. Matt gasped. "Ahhhhh you turned into a strawberry," Matt yelled jokingly. "I did not. Really daddy, I just got a dress with strawberries on it," she said honestly. He smiled and opened his arms. She ran and hugged him. "You look great. You're a superstar," he said sarcastically. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. She then ran over and kissed Amy on the cheek. "I love you guys...a lot," Bailey said sincerely.
"We love you too," Matt and Amy both said at the same time.

Amy and Bailey walked into the bathroom with their toothbrushes. "Bailey, this is how you brush your teeth," Amy said. She grabbed her toothbrush and wet it. She then put toothpaste on it. She then put it into her mouth and started showing Bailey how to brush. "Too hard," Bailey said as she shook her head.
Amy threw her arms up in the air and grabbed Bailey's toothbrush. She then brushed her teeth for her. They both got into their pajamas and walked back into the room. Matt was already in bed half-asleep. Amy picked Bailey up and tucked her into bed. "Goodnight Sweetie. Sweet dreams," she said as she kissed her forehead. "About you and Daddy," Bailey said smiling. Amy was taken aback. "Umm...Sure. Whatever you think is special to you," Amy said as she turned off the lights. She laid on the other side of Matt nervously. "Goodnight Amy," Matt said. "Goodnight Matt," she replied back. She smiled as she thought of what Bailey said. Sweet dreams about her and Matt...and she knew that's what her dreams were going to be about
