A very drowzy Caesar answered his front door that was under the attack of a tired Jazmine. Her eyes popped open at the sight of his bare chest.

"Just wakin up?" She smirked.

"Ye...ah," Caesar yawned, "What's good, Jazz?"

"Well-" Jazmine started, but peered over his shoulder to see Cindy, clad in one of Caesar's Tshirts, "Cindy!?"

"Hm? Oh, Hey, Jazzy!" Cindy waved half heartedly. Jazmine forced a smile and waved back. She then closed the door, shoving caesar out and yanking him down by a dreadlock.

"Caesar! You KNOW I told you that you CAN'T have Cindy over when Lillian is staying the night! It's hard enough keeping her innocent with all the stuff she reads!"

Caesar waved his hands, "Woah, woah! Lillian didn't stay over last night,"

Horror filled Jazmine's eyes, "What!? The-Then don't tell me you just left her alone did you!? Caesar!"

"Woah!" He blurted again, "Relax, she's in good hands but... you might wanna sit down before I tell you who it was..."

ooOoOOoOOOOoOOoOooOooOOO

Huey woke up with a start by the sounds of knocking at his door. He popped his eyes open, little Lillian was still curled up next to him on the couch. He blinked a few times but before his mind could even register to get up, a very flustered Jazmine bounded through the door, stumbling awkwardly into the living room.

Huey's eyes popped wide open, looking intently at the woman he had once been so maddly inlove with. There she was standing in his living room looking like... a single mom.

She was still stunning, maybe a bit thicker due to the pregnancy but it certainly didn't build on her tummy. Oh no. Nothing but good places.

"Hey Huey,"

He covered his mouth with his index finger, "Shh. We didn't get to bed til' late last night,"

"Why?" She asked. Huey carefully stood up, tucking a pillow under the young girl's head.

"We were watching the presidential debates,"

He walked over to her, his hands shoved in his pockets and his gaze serious. She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling as if tears were threatening to spill. He took a hand and cupped it under her chin, not really sure why he felt the need to do so.

"We really need to talk, don't we?"

"I'll...make coffee,"

ooOOOOoOOOoOO

It was akward in that kitchen. The last time Huey had been in that damn kitchen with the woman he was with now, well... it had just started as an innocent kiss, atleast. It was the last time he saw her, actually... unless you'd count the whole kissing her goodby the next morning as he left the house, unknowingly leaving her to go into a whole nine months of pregnancy by herself and another six years to raise and love a sweet baby girl.

"She's... one hell of a kid, Jazmine. You did an amazing job," Huey told her, leaning his back against the counter.

"She is but it had nothing to do with me," She smiled playfully, "I tried so hard to keep her nose out of those books... but Caesar just leaves anything laying around,"

"I'm so sorry, Jazmine," He muttered hushly.

"For... what?" She asked cautiously. Huey stepped over to her, placing his mug down on the counter top and placing a hand on her cheek.

"She's mine, isn't she?"

Her mouth opened to say something as a single tear fell down her face. She couldn't speak, she just nodded and collapsed inside his arms.

"I'm so sorry, Huey!" She sobbed loudly, "I swear I wanted to tell you but no one had your contact information! Not even Grandad or Riley! We all tried and tried but... but we couldn't find you. We thought you had gone off on some crazy government thing and were lost forever or something!"

Huey's heart crushed. Had he known... he never would have left, "Jazmine.. I-"

"It's my fault," She told him, "You told me you were leaving.. and... I begged you for that kiss... I knew I wouldn't stop there"

"But... I didn't control myself, either,"

She sobbed, "Oh Huey! I wanted you here so baddly! I never imagined myself... a pre-wed mother! I.. I wanted to get rid of her as soon as I found out I was pregnant... but... but I just couldn't. I Kept thinking that so long as she was alive... a part of you was with me,"

How could she be apologizing? Huey cursed in his mind and hugged her tighter, "God, Jazmine. I can't believe I..." He heaved a sigh. What could he say? Why was he such a dick? Why did he let this happen? How could he leave the mother of his own child to be alone? How... how could he be what he hated MOST? He felt like a dirty nigger.

He pulled her back so she could look at him. He needed to tell her everything would be okay. He needed to explain how sorry he was and to reassure her that she wasn't alone anymore. He needed to tell her he loved her.

But Huey, as we know, hasn't gotten any better with words than he has from the night before.

Leaning down, he caught her lips in a warm kiss, shattering every hurt she had been feeling for the past six years. He hadn't abandoned her... he would have been there had he known it.

ooOOoOOOoOOO

Lillian slowly awoke, only to hear her mothers muffled voice from the other room. She tiptoed gently to peer in, knowing that grown ups always say their most important things in hushed tones. When she looked, she was shocked to see her mother in the arms of Huey Freeman.

Maybe he was just good at making women feel better?

Suddenly, he pulled her back and just stared at her. What were they doing? What the... OMG!! He just... just kissed her. And not like a kiss from Cinderella or something. This was a kiss from the movies Caesar would watch when he thought she wasn't awake anymore.

What was going on!? Her mother... was kissing a man!?

His lips moved passed hers and trailed down to her neck, wrapping his arms around her lower back and shoving her body into his so they meched to form fit the other. Lillian had to cover her mouth to keep from making any noise. Her face was beat red and she could hardly see straight.

She spun on her heal and headed for the door. She had to tell someone.

Jazmine's head shot up suddenly at the sound of a door slam, she looked at Huey who seemed to have the same expression on his face. They both barreled into the living room. The six year old was gone. With fuzzled heads, they headed for the front door.
