"She's your daughter?" Chad asked shocked.
"Yep! Jasmine is Taylor's!" Jordan beamed at her sister "But I don't blame you for thinking she's mine though, can't you see we look alike?" Jordan hoisted Jasmine higher and both of them made model faces.
"Yeah." Chad said, not really paying attention. He was staring at Taylor. "Well." Chad said without feeling "She's very bright Taylor."
"Yes, she is." Taylor said half nervous and half bold.
"Can I go play now?" Jasmine asked "I promise I'll be more careful!"
"Sure you can, I'm watching you!" Jordan smiled
"So…who's her dad?" Chad asked
"Oh she doesn't have a father." Taylor shook her head "He died a few years ago."
"But he's with us in spirit right Taylor?" Jordan teethed, angry at this lie.
"Yes, that was a very tragic loss." Taylor put a sad face on
"I can imagine." Chad mumbled "So you…?"
"Remarried?" Taylor's eyes brightened "Yes, I did. But he passed and now I am engaged." She smiled triumphantly
"Oh…really?"Chad said gloomily, he was too shocked to notice Jordan widening her eyes at him and giving hints
"Yeah!" Taylor smiled, Jordan groaned and surrendered
"His name is Kevin…" she sighed "Kevin Jones…"
Chad cleared his throat "Well….I guess some congratulations is in order…soon to be Mrs. Jones."
"Thank you." Taylor smiled "Hey, long time no see! Are you..?" she questioned
"No. Actually I never found another." Chad looked away
Taylor flinched "Oh…"
"Yeah it's…great with basketball and everything." Chad shrugged sadly
"I guess you can't separate true love can you?" Taylor smiled innocently (A/N: I know…that was cold.)
Chad glared at her before Jordan jumped in "Well Chad it was great seeing you again! Marvelous actually!" she softened her voice "This is gonna sound a bit weird but…" she giggled "What do I say that isn't? May I have your number?" she asked
Taylor gawked at her sister and Chad raised an eyebrow "Ex…cuse me?" he asked
"May I have…" Jordan gave a hint, flashing her eyes back and forth between Chad and Taylor "Your, cell phone number?"
Chad grinned "Sure Jordan!" he gave it to her
"Thank you!" She smiled "Close your mouth T it isn't polite to stare." Jordan said not once looking at Taylor, who immediately shut her mouth. "I'll call you so you know it's me." Jordan nodded
"I'll be waiting." Chad followed along.
"Oh, Taylor do you think we should, go?" Jordan gestured
"Yes…" Taylor said uneasily "We should…" she turned to the swing set "Come on Jasmine let's go!"
"Already?" Jasmine said "Okay…" she hopped off and started towards her mother
"Bye Chad." Jordan waved
"Goodbye Chad." Taylor mumbled
"Later." Chad said walking away. Jasmine turned around anxiously.
"Wait! I never got to say goodbye!" Jasmine said
"You don't need to sweetie." Taylor gave a small smile
"I heard what you guys said, I could have died, and he rescued me!" Jasmine pleaded
"Like a guardian angel." Jordan smiled
"Uh-Huh!" Jasmine nodded to her aunt quickly, before turning to her mother "I have to thank him!"
"No you do not and that is enough!" Taylor said as patient as possible. She turned to scowl at Jordan "And you! I have had enough of your whole choir instructor- pre-k teacher attitude!" Taylor fired "And I don't want you infecting her mind with nonsense of every time somebody helps her they are a guardian angel or an elf or a fairy!"
"When do I ever say an elf or a fairy?" Jordan questioned "And guardian angels aren't fantasy they're like good Samaritans! Everyday people doing good deeds." She nodded
"Well I want you to stop!" Taylor glared
"Why? Because you don't happen to like this Good Samaritan?" Jasmine's head began to turn between her two relatives.
"No because it isn't real!"
"You're just saying that because of who it was!"
"No I am not!"
"If your heart is so cold you can't even realize," Jordan pointed in the direction Chad descended off into "That out of nowhere this person was kind enough to grab Jasmine and help her for no reason at all then you are just horrible!"
"Well thank you-"
"Guys!" Jasmine said softly, tugging their hands gently. "Stop it please! Please!" she begged.
Jordan and Taylor sighed
"She's right…" Jordan said
"It can wait until we get home." Taylor sighed
"Can't it just not happen at all?" Jasmine smiled hopefully
"Adult conversations happen Jay, I'm sorry." She said sympathetically.
"Sometimes she doesn't know what to say…" Jordan smiled at her slumping walked into the house.
"And for the record Jasmine's my kid and I have a say in how she is raised. And she will not be raised in a fantasy world." Taylor nodded
"Shouldn't her FATHER have a say in how you raise her?!" Jordan yelled at her younger sister, who gasped angrily.
Taylor started slowly "Don't you…DARE BRING THAT UP!"
"Why? Because you want Jasmine to be oblivious? Because you don't want her to know what happened?" Jordan cried
"She is four!" Taylor whipped her hand in Jasmine's direction
"So you would rather have your four year old…" Jordan climaxed "Come into class on father's day, not knowing anything about her father but that she doesn't have one?" Jasmine's lip began to quiver "That she just - magically appeared from you yet she wasn't adopted?." Jasmine slumped
"Taylor you can judge me and my childish attitude all you want." Jordan shook her head "But maybe your stories are more fake than mine." She shook her head. Jasmine ran into her room.
"Jasmine!" Taylor called after her, "Jordan-"
"That's a true story by the way." She nodded, becoming silently angry with each word of her next sentence, "Jasmine gets teased every single day at school by four year olds just like her because she has an imaginary father." She shook her head.
"She eats lunch with me, she has no friends, she is an oddball, and there is nothing the school board will let me do about it Taylor. I've tried. Teachers and Principals just don't enforce those types of things like they used to." Jordan said before calming down and pausing. "And I just wish for her sake that we could see that change." Jordan quietly walked into her room
Taylor put her head down on the counter
-Not one of the better days-
"You…What?" Troy said on the couch of his living room, as shocked as Chad was.
"I ran into Taylor." Chad said with a pillow on his face.
"When?...How?" Troy asked
"Well, it was today after I told you I had to get off the phone. I had to get off because this kid was falling off that rock wall in the park." Chad explained
"People are trying to remove it, if kids fall and hit the pavement they could be paralyzed, have severe injuries, and even die." Troy stated
"Well a kid did fall. Head first." Chad said
Troy gawked "Oh man…I am so sorry you had to see that…" he shook his head
"No she survived; I kind of dove in and grabbed her head before the impact. Worst case scenario?" Chad inhaled "She belongs to Taylor. I just saved my ex fiancés child Troy. That is freaking weird!"
"Wait…she's a she?" Troy waved his finger around confused. Chad facepalmed himself.
"I give you this entire short story of my creeptastic day, and all you ask is what gender the child is when I ALREADY TOLD YOU THE GENDER?!" He exclaimed
"I was gonna ask other questions!" Troy crossed his arms. "I just really had to ask that one!"
"Then what were the OTHER questions?" Chad moaned
Troy thought for a moment "….I can't remember them." Troy replied with full confidence. Chad hit his head on the wall repeatedly. Troy spoke up. "And hold on a second, how small was she?"
"What do you mean how small was she-"
Madison and Tony ran in "You can't catch me!" Madison sang
"Just watch me Madi!" Tony laughed
"About as short as Madison and Tony." Chad said
"Hi Uncle Chad!" Tony waved before running outside after Madison.
"Wait…Madi and Tony are four…" Troy pondered "And you broke up with Taylor four years ago…"
"Yeah, so?" Chad sighed to his best friend impatiently
"So in order for that child to be Taylor's Taylor would have had to either cheat on you during your engagement or the child is yours." Troy concluded
Chad shook his head, "She must have cheated on me then, because Jasmine's father died."
Troy chuckled to himself "Jasmine." He repeated softly "Cute." He turned to Chad once again, "Is she quiet?"
"Yes, in a sweet way though. She seems very shy." Chad smiled
"Yep. Leave it to Taylor to pick names that fit." Troy grinned "Chad," he began seriously "Have you ever thought of the possibility Taylor might not have cheated on you, but Jasmine might be…" he raised an eyebrow
"I don't need you freaking me out more than I already am Troy, that is impossible." Chad broke it down to him."And I don't want to talk about it. I actually really don't give a care." Chad said, walking out
"Then why did you come over?!" Troy called after him. He groaned in frustration and began grumbling to himself "Just, forget you man." Troy flipped the TV on to Sports Center and relaxed "Oh come on Kobe give it a rest! The shot wasn't that great! It's all over Instagram! I mean, come on. Do you really need to put the freeze picture through every filter and repost it?!" Troy asked
Outside, Chad put his face in his arms and screamed
-TK-TC-TK
That night, Taylor walked into the family room of the house and stood in front the TV. Jordan and Jasmine looked up and paused it.
Taylor inhaled "I want to apologize for what happened today…" she sighed, Jasmine smiled "We're a family and we should never argue like that. Or at least, Jordan and I shouldn't…I'm sorry Jojo. I should never have criticized you." Taylor said
"I'm sorry too…" Jordan sighed "I shouldn't have let my emotions control me…"
"Me too…I shouldn't have left you guys in there to bite each other's heads off…" Jasmine sighed as the two siblings giggled "What?"
"Nothing…" they smiled
"Group hug?" Jasmine reached up.
"Group hug." Taylor and Jordan confirmed, hugging.
"Mommy! Jordan! Look!" Jasmine suddenly pointed "Isn't that the guy we saw at the park today?" she asked
"Why it is…" Jordan said surprised "I didn't know the Bulls were playing tonight…"
"Me neither…" Taylor said half-heartedly "I have to go to bed, I have to work early and Kevin's coming over straight after." Taylor said "Hey, Jazzy, maybe you could show him the song you're rehearsing for the school concert?" Taylor suggested
"I don't want to." Jasmine's eyes suddenly narrowed and her arms crossed
"Oh don't be a poor sport." She teased, kissing her forehead
"Fine…" Jasmine groaned
"Night!" she hugged Jordan before starting upstairs
"I'll help you practice." Jordan whispered to Jasmine before kissing her cheek.
"Okay…" Jasmine sighed; she seemed to have something else, something very important, on her mind.
