Day of the Picnic

Dee's POV

OH MY GOSH! TODAY IS THE DAY. The day I get to see Katy. But most importantly the day Daemon and Katy are going to be reunited.

"Hey Dee where do want these tables for the food?" I heard Andrew ask.

"Near the blankets but not too close because I'm pretty sure one of the kids will spill something."

"Andrew hurry up with the tables so I can set the food down"

UUGGHH there goes Ash being her bitchy self again.

"Hey where is Daemon!?"

All of a sudden Andrew appeared next to me saying, "I don't know I keep calling him but he won't answer do you want me to go get him"

"No that's fine he promised he would come and he doesn't break promises"

"Ok whatever. Where do you want the streamers?"

"In the trees where the children won't be able to reach them because they will make a mess if they can get a hold of them" I said remembering what happened at the winter break party. I shivered at the memory. Wow those kids LOVED hot chocolate. I pulled out my cell phone about to call Daemon when someone tapped me on my back.

"So is Katy coming?" Ash whispered.

Ash was the only one that knew Katy was here and Aaliyah her daughter was in my class. I also really want to tell Daemon because I knew he still misses her. He tries to pretend he's fine and yes he laughs but that sparkle in his eyes that he had when Katy was around is gone.

"Well she sent the confirmation that she was but I guess we won't really know unless she comes"

"What are we going to do when Daemon sees her and not to mention she has a daughter? You know it will probably crush him"

"Maybe it's his daughter. I mean I don't think Katy would go sleep with someone right after we left. She's just not that kind of person."

"Well you never know maybe she wanted a rebound or maybe she was raped"

"Gosh Ash stop being a bitch! Don't even joke about something like that those topics are serious," I said angrily.

"I know and even if you don't believe me I hope it's Daemon's kid because I don't want to see him hurt" After she said that she walked away.

When we finished setting up we heard a car door slam. It was Matthew with Daemon. Almost all the families that were coming were here. Katy wasn't here yet either. I rushed over to them about to yell at Daemon for being late but then decided not to.

Matthew said, "I found him asleep and decided to wake him" with a smirk on his face. I turned towards Daemon and noticed that his hair was damp.

"Well at least I made it. What do you want me to do?" Daemon asked.

"Everything was already set up no thanks to you but you can rake some leafs as your punishment," I said angrily while grabbing the rake for him and Matthew.

"Anything for you baby sis" he kissed my head then went to go rakes some leafs. I saw Matthew hold the rake to Andrew. He shook his head and I think he cussed a few words but eventually took the rake and went with Daemon. I looked around and to my displeasure didn't see Katy or Aaliyah.

Before the Picnic

Katy's POV

"Ok I understand I'll be there in a few minutes." My boss just called me saying that I had to go to work because my co worker got food poisoning. Today was the day I was going to take Aaliyah to the picnic. I hurriedly called Miranda my friend from school to see if she can take Aaliyah. They both like hanging out with each other and it's only for the first hour, then my shift would be over. Ring Ring Ring. On the third ring she answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Miranda can you take Aaliyah to this picnic at her school? I can't go for the first hour because my co worker got food poisoning. It's ok if you can't."

"Of course I can Katy. I'm not busy so yea."

"Thank you so much I'll drop off Aaliyah right now"

"Ok do I need to take anything?"

"Umm just some cookies I made for the kids if that won't be too much"

"That's fine I'll be waiting. Bye Katy"

"Bye Miranda"

I heard Aaliyah running out of her room with her backpack full of toys and a big smile on her face. She was dressed in her favorite dress with red polka dots.

"Mommy are you ready for the picnic?" Then she noticed my uniform and asked "Why are you dressed like that?"

"I'm sorry sweetie but my boss called me and said I had to go to work" I said bending down to her height.

"So we aren't going?" she asked with a sad little look on her face.

"No we are going, but Miranda is going to stay with you for the first hour then I'll come ok?"

"Okay but after you leave work you need to change I want everyone to see how pretty you are" She said while she put her little hands on my face.

"Hahaha ok Aaliyah"

"Mommy can you do my hair?" She asked as she handed me her bag where she keeps her hair supplies. Because her hair already had really pretty curls I just tied a red bow on the side of her hair.

"There now you look even more beautiful" I said with a smile on my face. I can't believe I was blessed with such an amazing little girl as my daughter.
