Chapter Title: Explain

Disclaimer: If only I owned them….

Author's Note: Sorry it took so long. I've been in zombie mode. All I did was eat, sleep, and go to guard camp. Oh and I rewrote this about a billion times. So I hope it lives up to your expectations. Thanks to jewelbaby, Karieflybabe, mrs sanders, Cici, chiroho, ForensicsFreak1988, Roman Legion (make sure you read the last author's note) Salem Navy, Emerson, iceicekatie, AllHart, DannyMcCoyVikingChick, A, Theoretical, JennR, and ArodLoverus2001 for the reviews! I edited this chapter because Salem Navy and my big sis Julie pointed out to me that would be too fast so here it is. It's short but the next chapter will be longer. I promise. And now on with the story…

"Daddy?"

She looks from him to her and back again.

Finally he breaks the silence, "Hayley what are you doing up?"

But she's too busy staring at Kate to answer his question.

He comes over and picks her.

"Come Hayley. You need to be in bed."

"Who is she Daddy?" She asks him quietly.

"That's Kate. Now off to bed." She compiles and after he places her back on the floor she leaves.

"I'm going to be going now." Jen says. She pushes past them and heads out of the apartment.

He has a lot of explaining to do….

"You're a d…dad?" She says slowly not wanting it to be true.

He pauses for a moment before confirming it, "Yeah."

"How?"

"Well you see Kate when a…." She glares at him and he realizes that now may not be the best time to crack a joke.

"Her mother and I were…well um….she….we…"

She doesn't really care how.

"And you thought that it would be better if you didn't tell me?"

"Kate…"

"No Tony! I'm your fiancée! You aren't supposed to keep secrets from me! Especially when you have a daughter!"

She's screaming now.

But it doesn't matter because he hid a child from her!

It's not like she would have not accepted her. Yes it would have taken her a while but eventually she would have come around. Now she's not sure if she EVER will.

"When I told you I didn't want to know about your past relationships that doesn't mean I don't want to know about any children you have."

"Kate I'm sorry." She stares at him for a while before she abruptly gets up from the table and leaves.

"Kate…" He starts to say, "don't do this."

"I have to go. I need to leave."

She opens the front door and leaves him behind.

A/N 2: I'm not exactly sure where this is going so bare with me! I'm thinking only one more chapters seeing how I have a good idea for an ending but it all depends on what happens when I sit down to write. I think the next chapter will probably be it unless I decide to mess everything up. Anyways, review please!

Roman Legion I use to be totally into ancient history. I'm not exactly sure where that went but right now I'm really into Austria and Germany. All the Empire episodes are saved on my Tivo right now. I just haven't had the time to watch them. I'm either at guard practice or pigging out a restaurant with the guard.
