"Why don't we go to the mall so you can get something new. Plus I want spoil the hack out this little one." CD said tickling Alley that was setting on her lap.

"Are you sure? I mean you never seen her in a public place she not always this good." Abby tried to warn her.

"Yeah I'm sure. You won't show off will Alyssa?" CD asked tickling her again.

"Nope. I promise." She giggled

"See." CD smiled

"Whatever. You'll see when we get there." Abby laughed

An hour later they arrived at the mall.

"What store you want to go in first?" Abby asked CD as they entered the Mall.

"I don't know. Let's get your work clothes first and go from there. What type of job is it?"

"Desk clerk for a law firm." She said with a sigh. "Meaning I probably have to wear something boring." She said sadly, she was so use to her regular attire blue jeans in a T-shirt. CD laughed.

"I know what you mean." She smiled she was about to say something else when her cell phone ringed. "Hello?"

"Hey, I was just call to see if you want to have dinner with me since we didn't have our lunch."

"Oh yeah Nate I'm sorry about that I had to-"

"Hey don't worry about it the captain told me that you found out that that girl in the office was one of you relatives and you wanted to spend the day with her. So you want to come to dinner you can bring her if you want."

"Hold on a minute. Let me asked her." she said and took the phone from her ear and covering it with her hand. "It's Nate he wants to know if you want to come to dinner with us. I really want to tell him about you." CD said trying to convince her.

"Alright I'll go." Abby smiled

"Abuela can I come to?" Alyssa pouted.

"Sure sweetie." CD smiled and but her phone back to her ear. "Okay where do you want to go?"

"How about you come over my place and I'll cook dinner for you two."

"You cook?" she laughed

"Yeah I can cook." He said definably.

"I never said you couldn't I was just surprise. So what time did you want us to come over."

"Eight o'clock?"

"Okay eight it is."

"Alright bye."

"Bye." She smiled and hung up the phone.

After being at the mall for three hour Abby finally found set for her interview. And even with all Abby's protest CD ended up buying Alyssa a little over hundred dollars worth of clothes and toys. After dropping their bags at CD apartment and changing there clothes they way over Nate's apartment.

"So what are you going to tell him." Abby asked CD curious how she was going to explain to him about her and Alyssa.

"I'm not sure yet." CD said quietly

"You'll know when the time is right. You don't have to tell him tonight." Abby said putting her hand on top of CD's to reassure her. CD smiled 'I don't deserve her' she thought sadly.

Five minutes later they arrived at Nate's apartment building.

"Mom you sure you want to go through with this." Abby asked looking at CD who was holding Alyssa while they stood in front of Nate's door.

"I'm sure." She smiled and knocked softly on the door. Nate answered the door in seconds.

"Hi... who's this." Nate asked pointing to Alyssa.

"That is my daughter Alyssa." Abby smiled " Hi I'm Abigail." She said extending her hand.

"I'm Nate but you probably already know that." He returned the smile and shook her hand. "Well come in and make you self at home." They follow him in the living room and sat down on the couch. "Dinner should be ready in five minutes, can I get you anything to drink while you wait?" He asked nervously

"I'll have a glass of water." CD and Abby said in union. They looked at each other and start to laugh.

"Okay two waters. What about you little lady." Nate asked Alyssa. She just stared at him.

"She's a little shy around people she doesn't know." Abby told Nate he nodded and went into the kitchen for their water. "What is he so nervous about?" Abby asked in a whispered to CD.

"I have know idea." She whispered back. Nate came back with their water a minute later. As they where beginning to chat Alley started squirming on Abby's lap.

"Mommy I have to go to the bathroom." Alley whispered in Abby's ear.

"Okay sweetie. Nate can we use your bathroom?"

"Yeah it's just down the hall to you left."

"Thanks." Abby said as she rushed Alyssa to the bathroom.

"You and Abigail look a lot a like, how exactly are you two related." Nate asked CD when they where alone in the living room.

"Well...Nate she's...Nate remember what I told you happen to me when I was fifteen...I didn't tell you everything..." she trail off hoping he got the drifted

"She's your daughter?" he whispered in disbelief. CD nodded as she did every thing in her power to avoid eye contact.

"I gave her up for adoption a week after she was born." She whispered barley audible "she was never adopted she was raised in an orphanage. She got my name from the orphanage." She said never making eye contact. Nate was speechless; he didn't know what he was spouse to say after hearing something like this.

"H-how do you feel about this, I mean I know this have to be hard for you." Nate said as he got his wit back.

"I never knew how much I miss her until now. I mean thought about her every day since I gave her up but now that I see her I don't know I gave her up." She replied feeling tears coming to her eyes. "Then I met Alyssa she's an angel. Nate I finally feeling like I'm getting a second chance you know. She's not even blaming me for giving her up, she understands completely." She said openly crying. Nate quickly went to her side to and pull her in to a hug.

"I already told you you'd make a great mom, so now here's your chance." He said rubbing her back. She smiled.
