It was at least 7:00 pm when we arrived at Mona 's house because of Randy's horrible sense of direction.
When we got there Becca was in the back sleeping and I was on my way there until Randy gently patted my shoulder making me jump up.
"We're here", he said.
I took off my seat belt, got out and opened the back door and took Becca out of her seat belt.She hadn't had a car seat because it had been in our BMW.
I walked her to the door as Randy sat in the car going through his missed calls.Even though I was sleep for like the last two hours I knew Samantha had been blowing up his phone.
I walked to Mona's door and rang the doorbell.Only three rings later Mona was at the door dressed in a black and white plaid pencil skirt and a black button up shirt.
"What took you soo long",she asked taking Bec from my arms.
"Do you really wanna know Mom",I said as I followed Mona to the room she had given Bec."I had a horrible day".
"Well does this horrible day include meeting a father figure for your daughter?",she asked laying a still asleep Bec on an Ed Hardy comforter.
After my Mom found out Randy had gotten me pregnant and left me she had done nothing, but criticise me.For all my childhood Mom never had a problem finding a man and hated me for not being able to do the same for Becca.
"Mom,can you please not bring this up again?",I snapped at her.
"Well,there would be no need to bring it up if you would find a rich man who's willing to father your child",she said turning the light off in Bec's room and walking out."I mean I grace you with good looks and you don't use them",she said as I followed her out of the room.
"You know Mom,they're aren't many men who want to date a 23 year old with a 3 year old daughter",I said as we went down the spiral steps.
"There was plenty when you were growing up",she said.
"Well maybe I just still one of yours",I said.
"Nik,I said rich;Lord knows I sucked every penny out of the ones I had.
"Actually Mom I did sort of, kind of meet someone today",I said shyly as we made our way to the dining room.
In the dining room was Mom's husband Micheal.Micheal had been going through some papers,but when Mona and I entered the room he quickly put them away.
"Mike,honey",Mona said "Nikki was just about to tell me about someone she met today.Care to listen.
"Sure, hon",he said"?
I looked at Micheal who was 65 years old,skinny in that unhealthy way,and who's skin was wrinky and all blochy then I lokked at Mona.She was 45,but looked to be in her early thirties,she was skinny in that healthy model way,and her skinned was tanned and tight."She definteley married him for the money", I thought myself'this man looks like he's goning to be dead by summer".
I took a seat down in front of Micheal and began to tell my story."It started off this morning",I said, but was interruped by Randy poking his head in through the unlocked door.
"Sorry to interrupt,but Nikki I got to be home soon",he said.
I looked over at Mona who was giving me that smile she smiles when she's trying not to smile.
She obviously knew who that guy was who just poked his head into her house without even knocking.
"Oh no it's fine",she said and winked at me.
I got up from the table and walked over to the door,but remembered before I left I had to tell Mona some things.
"Mom when Bec wakes up you should give her a bath,there's a snack in her bag, and if you want her to fall asleep really fast you should put in the Lion King",I said quickly."Mom can you watch Bec for me tomorrow I have to work all day?",I asked.
"Sure,doll".We can have some grandma and granddaughter time at the mall".
I closed the door behind me and headed back to Randy's car.

About half an hour later I was standing at my porch trying to find away to get into my house because my house key had been on my key chain with my car keys.Finally I remembered the key I had under the welcome mat and lifted it up to find a key.
"Thank God",I said kissing the key.
I put it into the door and it quickly unlocked."Bye,Randy",I said to the man standing next to me."Thanks for the ride".
I took a step into the house,but Randy grabbed my hand."Nikki I was wondering, since I haven't been a very big part in Rebbecca's life would you mind if I picked you two up for dinner tomorrow",she said quietly,almost like he was kind of scared to ask.
I had missed Randy in my life when he ran away and had thought every single day what life would be like if he was there for me and Becca.I couldn't pass up this chance to put Randy into Rebbecca's life.
"Um,I'd like that Randy",I said.But,I have to work all day tomorrow.Can I have your number",I asked.
"Sure",he said almost excitedly" you got some paper.
"Yeah come in",I said an stood back so he could enter.I quickly found a sheet of paper and gave it to Randy.He wrote his number down and handed it to me.
"See you tomorrow",he said, walking outside.
"Hopefully",I said as I turned around after locking the door behind him.I clutched the paper to my chest.
I was so excited,but tried my hardest to not get my hopes up.My manager might not let me off of work.
