"Mommy!"

Karen bolted upright in bed, throwing the covers off of herself and running to Cailyn's room. Flipping on the light, she neared Cailyn's crib, seeing her daughter sitting upright, crying. She lifted her arms and Karen reached down and picked her up.

"What's wrong, honey? Did you have a bad dream?"

Cailyn nodded and clung to Karen as she rubbed her back and rocked her back and forth. "It's okay, sweetie. Mommy's here." Cailyn continued to sniffle and nuzzled her face into Karen's neck.

"Come on, baby. Let's try and go back to sleep."

Cailyn shook her head violently. "No sleep!"

Karen sighed and continued pacing around Cailyn's room. "What do you want, honey? You want to lay in bed with Mommy?"

She shook her head. "Alright honey, what do you want?"

"I want Da." Cailyn said sleepily.

"You want me to call daddy and have him come over?"

Cailyn nodded. "Okay. Let's call daddy." Karen picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number. She hoped Will wouldn't be asleep.

"Hello?" Will said in a low voice.

"Will, honey, it's me. Can you come over?"

"Karen? Is Cailyn okay?"

"She's fine, honey. She just had a bad dream and was asking for you."

"I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Thanks, honey." Karen said as she hung up the phone. "Daddy will be here in a few minutes, okay? Want to go wait for him downstairs?"

Cailyn nodded and Karen carried her downstairs to wait for Will. As soon as they got to the living room, the door opened and Will let himself in using the spare key Karen had made for him.

"Da!" Cailyn cried as she leaned her body towards Will and hugged him.

"Hey sweetheart, are you okay?" Will asked as he rubbed her back. "Mommy said you had a bad dream."

Cailyn nodded slowly as she had started to fall asleep.

"You okay now? Want me to stay for a while?"

The baby nodded again and leaned her head on Will's shoulder, falling asleep. Will sat down on the couch next to Karen, rubbing Cailyn's back.

"Thanks for coming, honey. She was asking for you."

"No problem. How did everything go with Stan?"

Karen looked at Cailyn, then at Will. "Let's put her back down, then we'll talk."

Will nodded and followed Karen upstairs to the nursery. Placing her gently in her crib, Will tucked her in and he and Karen slowly walked out of the room. He followed Karen into her room and sat down on the couch next to her.

"So, how was dinner?"

"Stan wants me back. He wants to be together again and raise Cailyn with me." Karen replied, raising her eyebrows.

"Really? What did you tell him?"

"I told him no. I said that I could forgive the disappearing, but not the affair. Then he asked about Cailyn and I told him that he could still see her, that I want him to be a part of her life, but that he wasn't her dad." Karen looked at Will and took his hand. "You're her dad, Will. Stan's just her father. She wants you when she doesn't feel well, or has a bad dream. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad she likes Stan, but I'm happy that she considers you to be 'Daddy'."

Will squeezed her hand. "I'm glad she does too, Karen. Being here for the both of you has made me so happy, and I really appreciate the fact that you're okay with Cailyn calling me Dad." Will hugged Karen and kissed her cheek.

"Honey, do you think I made the wrong choice in not getting back together with Stan?"

"Karen, I think that you made the best decision for you and Cailyn. And I'm not just saying that because I still get to be 'Daddy'. I'm saying it because, the way you were after he was gone, I never want to see you in pain like that again."

"Thanks, Wilma." Karen said, hugging him again.

"Not at all, Karen."
