" Miguel, where were you! I gave birth to our daughter, and what were you doing?!" Kay screamed at him.
" What is he doing here?" asked Miguel looking at Fox.
"He helped me deliver our baby, I ask you again, where were you?!" Kay demanded.
"I'm really sorry Kay, Charity was upset about the baby, she thought it was going to break me and her up. You should have seen her, she was really distraught." Said Miguel.
"Miguel, this is unbelievable, you missed your first child's birth, your own daughter. This was supposed to be important to you Miguel. I remember you told me how you would care for this child. You missed Lamaze, doctor's appointments, parenting classes and whatever else. Miguel, we didn't even get to finish our video baby book, but I just reassured myself that when our baby was born, you'd wise up and take responsibility. She was just born, Miguel, you missed her birth! You could have took any other time to talk to Charity, she would have understood if she's a s good as a person as everyone seems to think. You know, I realize you love her and not me, and that hurts a lot, but it hurts even more that you don't love our baby. You know what Miguel? I don't think what you did was unbelievable. I'd believe it and I should have expected it." Kay said with anger, sadness and disappointment all at the same time.
" Kay, I do love our baby, but you know I love Charity. I have to make it right with her. And just because I made one mistake, it doesn't mean I don't care about her." Miguel responded.
" Could've fooled me. Miguel, you haven't even asked to see what she looks like." Kay said in tears, " You haven't asked to hold her, you haven't asked if she's alright…."
" Let me hold her please, Kay?" Miguel pleaded.
Kay sniffled and handed her daughter to Miguel. He looked at her in awe and said, " She's really beautiful Kay."
The little baby began screaming at the sight of Miguel. Kay tried to grab her child from him, but he pulled away, " Kay, just because she cries when I hold her, doesn't make me a bad parent, or any less of parent." Miguel said matter-of-factly.
" Actually, it does, she's crying because she's hungry, and with you pulling her away from me, I need to feed her." Kay said pointing to her chest.
" Oh, right Kay." He said as he handed their daughter to her.
" Miguel, you don't have to stick around, it's okay, go back to Charity. I'm sure she's worried sick." Kay said sarcastically.
" Uh, yeah, you're, you're probably right." He said as he headed out the door.
" Well…she has a great father figure, now doesn't she?" Fox said sarcastically.
" Yeah, really though." Kay said rolling her eyes at Miguel's stupidity.
" So," Fox said, " What are you going to name her?"
Kay looked up at him and smiled.
" Why are you smiling?" he inquired.
" You, are the very first person to ask me that." She said.
" Well I am honored, but do not keep me in suspense any longer! You know, Fox is a good sturdy name." He said smiling his devilish grin.
" Ah, too bad a mother always has a name picked out for her child." She said Matter-of-factly.
"Ah, and what would that be?"
" Lex."
" Lex?" He questioned.
"Alexandria Colynn," she said proudly, " Lex for short."
" Wonderful choice, but I wouldn't have questioned that you hadn't chosen a lovely name."
" Sucking up to me isn't going to persuade me to let you see up my nightgown you know." She smirked. He looked at her in mock horror.
" Kay Bennett! How dare you question my intentions other than simply stating the facts." He winked at her.
" You wanna hold her?" Kay asked him.
Fox looked at her in shock, " You , uh, trust me?"
" No, I need to have my hands free so I can move my top to feed her." Kay said jokingly.
" Ah, my pleasure," he said kind of nervously.
" You won't break her." She smiled at him, as she handed Lex to him. She cooed in his arms and let out a giggle as Fox rocked her back and forth.
" Wow, Fox, you're a natural!" Kay said as she sat back against the pillows ready to feed Lex. " Ok, I'm ready to feed her. Sorry to take her away from you."
" No, no, I understand." Smiled Fox as he handed Lex to Kay.
" Well she likes you a whole lot more than her own father, I think she can tell that she's not number one in his life."
" Well she should be, if he can't figure out he has the two most gorgeous, smart, intriguing girls in all of Harmony, then he's an even bigger idiot than I thought." Fox said with a smirk.
" All this flattery could get a girl's hopes up, too bad I'm not any other girl." She said.
" Ouch Kay, still as feisty as the day I met you." Fox winked.
" You didn't think a little thing like having a baby would change the Kay you all know and love-or hate, depending on who you talk to."
" Of course. You could hear some pretty nasty things about me aswell. You're not alone Kay Bennett." He smiled genuinely at her.
" Could've fooled me." She stated as she started feeding Lex.
" Whoa! Looks like my clue to leave!"
" You've basically seen all of me, I'm not embarrassed, neither should you be." Smiled Kay. She loved the thought of making him uneasy, it was so much fun.
" No, no, I'll let you have time alone with her, but like I said, you're not alone. Anytime, come and see me, and if that walking mannequin you call a father bothers you again or forces Charity on you, you call me and I'll have them on a hit list so fast…."
Kay laughed and replied " I will, but I don't think they'll need to be killed, I'm a big girl."
" I know you are." Fox smiled and kissed Kay's forehead and Lex's as well. " Always a pleasure ladies." He said as he left.
He smiled as he closed the door and turned around to find himself face-to-face with Miguel.
" Hey, ah, Miguelito, you're a little too close for comfort."
" My name is Miguel, and just what the hell do you think you're doing?!"
" I don't exactly follow, what exactly am I doing?" Fox answered irritated.
" Don't play dumb with me, Crane. Stay away from Kay. She doesn't need you screwing up her life more than it already is, she doesn't need you getting her hopes up just fr you to crush them. I've heard all about your past, and I don't want my baby to get subjected to that." Miguel stated.
"Really? Hmmm, tell me if my memory serves me correctly. You weren't even there to see Lex born, or help Kay with her during her pregnancy, so before you harass me again, I advise you to have evidence of your statement. Goodbye Michaelo."
" It's Miguel!" Miguel yelled as he pushed Fox. Fox turned around slowly and
stared into Miguel's eyes with anger.
" Are you really sure you wanna do this, I mean, you're going to get really hurt and you can't be a good father in a body cast."
" Who's Lex?"
" You're daughter. Alexandria Colynn. Lex for short."
" You have some nerve….."
" Miguel, don't start, just back away and go back to your precious girlfriend." Fox scoffed as he walked away down the hall.
