Chapter 2- disaster

"Craig, Gingers dad just can't come into our family like this!" Manny exclaimed "He's been gone for 13 years and now he decides to come back?"

The party was over and they were getting ready for bed. Manny had asked Nick to leave because they had to talk as a family before he could just come into there lives. Ginger disagreed saying it was her dad and that Manny should back off. Manny ended up in tears because Gingers birthday party was ruined and Emma taking control of the party asked everyone to leave and apologized for what happened. Now Manny and Craig were in there room talking things over.

"But it is her dad" Craig said

"No he's not, he's a guy who helped make Ginger. You're her dad! You take care of her and you buy her food and you…you're the dad figure."

"Manny just cool of about it ok?" Craig asked

He laid his head on Manny's not so big stomach.

"At least I know this baby is mine" Craig said He looked up at Manny. "Ginger is happy to see her dad ok? Just leave it like that"

Manny nodded her head. "I really want to talk to her but I don't know what to say. I never really told her that her dad left I just kind of said we separated."

"Well than take a deep breath and go tell her. Manny she should no the truth."

"But what if she gets mad at me for lying?"

"She's a teenager she's having mixed emotions right now. I'm sure she's confused in a couple of days it will all be fine. So just go tell her the truth"


Manny got up and walked towards Ginger's room. She knocked on the door.

"What?" Ginger asked

"I need to talk to you" Manny said

"Go away mom" Ginger yelled "Don't come here ever again. Just get out of my life"

"Ginger I'm sorry ok can I just talk to you?" Manny asked

"I don't want to speak to you again!" Ginger yelled

Missy walked out of her room. She was in her Betty Boop pajamas. Missy had grown up so much from when she was 5. Hey hair was long black and wavy. She looked a lot like her mom. Her eyes were a piercing green and she had a really pretty smile. Ginger was more of a outgoing loud hard partier type person while Missy was the quiet not so hard of a partier type person. It was like Ginger was Paris Hilton and Missy was Nicky Hilton. Missy's room was next door to Ginger's and they shared a bathroom which was in the middle of there rooms. So it was like room, bathroom, room, which made the rooms connected in a way.

Ginger gave Manny a smile. Her smile reminded Manny of Craig because they had the same smile. And Craig's smile was the type of smile that would make you melt.

"I'm thirsty so I was going to go to the kitchen to get some water" Missy said giving Manny another smile

"I was trying to talk to Ginger but she won't let me in" Manny replied

"She said she's mad at you because you ruined her party and you and dad told Nick to leave."

"Why is she so nice to this guy? She hasn't seen him in 13 years! I can't believe this!"

"I don't know it's kind of her dad. I would have acted the same way if it was my mom"

"I'm sorry to be putting you through this Missy. I mean we're here complain about Ginger's dad and then you don't have a mom. I feel so bad"

"It's ok, I didn't really know her. And anyway I have a great substitute" Missy said with a smile

"Awww your to nice" Manny said and she gave Missy a hug

Then Ginger came out of her room. Her mascara was ruining down her cheeks her light brown hair was messed up. She just looked at Manny with a sour face. Missy and Manny broke up there hug and looked at Ginger.

"Ginger you ready to talk to me?" Manny asked

Ginger just glared at Manny and wiped her eyes. "Come downstairs to the kitchen with me Missy" Ginger said grabbing on to Missy's hand

"Ok Ginger" Missy replied

They started walking away. Missy looked back at Manny and mouthed the words "I'll talk to her for you"

Manny nodded with a smile and walked back to her room.
"So how did it go?" Craig asked

Manny laid on the bed Craig laid down next to her. She looked at him with a smile and laid her head on his chest.

"All I want to say is I hope that you don't leave us so I have to go through this again." Manny said

"I won't leave you Manny, I'll never leave you."

"Not even for a billion bucks?" Manny asked

"Not even for a billion bucks" Craig replied

Manny got up and gave him a kiss.

"I won't leave you either"


Meanwhile in the kitchen…

"I just don't get it Missy what does dad and mom have against Nick?"

"I don't know Ginger maybe they are trying to protect you" Missy replied

"From what? He's my dad what can he possibly do to hurt me?"

"Maybe he can tell you stuff I don't know I'm not a parent. Just be nice to your Ginger. She loves you and she's heart broken that you hate her."

"I don't care Missy. She can die for all I care" Ginger said looking outside the window

Missy looked at Ginger with almost about to cry. Ginger looked at Missy.

"I'm sorry Missy I didn't mean it like that I ju…"

"God your so stupid Ginger" Missy whispered a tear rolled down her cheek "Your mom is here and a live and just because she is keeping you away from your biological dad doesn't mean you have to stop care about her. My mom can't do that for me Ginger because my mom is dead. And I love your mom I love our mom she is one of the best moms in the world biological mom or not so don't ever say that about her again. And if you do I swear I won't talk to you"

Missy put her glass of water in the sink and walked away.


Ginger finished her water and grabbed tootsie their shitzu from her cage.

"At least you still love me Toots" Ginger said giving her dog a kiss

Ginger brought the dog upstairs to her room and shut the door. She laid in her bed and laid Tootsie right next to her. Tootsie decided she didn't want to go on the bed so she jumped to the ground. Ginger got out of bed and turned on the radio. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked just like Manny when Manny was 14. Ginger's hair was straight and black she had light brown eyes. Her eyes were really pretty they were her best physical feature. Ginger and Missy looked so much a like that it would be hard to tell that they wern't biological sisters. Ginger gave herself a smile and went back into bed. She looked on her night stand where there was a picture of her and her mom. She grabbed it and looked at it. This was taken 2 years ago when Manny, Ginger and Missy went out for a girls night. Missy took the picture they were hugging and it looked really cute.

"I don't care what Missy says" Ginger whispered " I hate you and I'm going to hate you forever"

Ginger stuck the picture under the bed turned off the light and went to sleep.
