Ally sat on a park bench watching McKenzie practice her pageant walk. She'd put McKenzie in beauty pageants since she was 3 and Kenzie absolutely adored it. She loved the dresses and the makeup and the excitement. She hated her flipper though, which was fake teeth so your missing teeth didn't show. They had splurged a little on her dress (PICTURE ON PROFILE), which was blue with sequins all over it. It brought out the blue in her eyes. McKenzie's eyes, exact replica's of Tyler's. Ally could NEVER get him out of her head, she always thought about him. No matter how hard she tried, he was always there, in the back of her head. She missed him desperately, crying herself to sleep when she was sure McKenzie was asleep.

"Mommy!" McKenzie called out to her. Ally's head snapped up to focus on McKenzie. She nodded and McKenzie started her walk. She smiled big, and strutted down the sidewalk with all the grace of a ballerina. But the gracefulness didn't last long, because McKenzie tripped on a rock about halfway there. Ally's hand flew to her mouth to suppress her giggles. It didn't work. A giggle escaped her lips, and it turned into more giggles, which turned into a full out laugh attack. McKenzie glared at her mother and stomped her foot on the pavement. Of course, this only made Ally laugh harder.

"MOM! It's NOT FUNNY!!" Kenzie yelled, but Ally was laughing so hard she was crying. She heard footsteps heading in her direction, but she was too distracted to pay too much attention, figuring it was McKenzie. But when she finally looked up, she couldn't BELIEVE what she saw. Standing before her was the only person Tyler loved as much as her, Caroline Hawkins. She let out a little gasp and her eyes grew wide.

"C- C- Caroline?" She choked on her words, not believing it WAS really her.

"Ally," Caroline breathed. She was just as shocked as Ally. She'd searched high and low for this girl, and she FINALLY found her. Ally jumped up and gave Caroline a HUGE hug. Caroline and Ally were both crying by then. McKenzie looked on in utter confusion. Why was her mother crying? Who IS that woman? And why does she look so much like me? So many questions were swarming through her mind. She cautiously approached the pair and tugged on her mom's jacket. She looked down at her with a huge smile on her face. She pulled away, and leaned down to McKenzie's level.

"Kenzie, there's someone I'd like you to meet." She scooped up McKenzie in her arms and held her against her hip. "Caroline Hawkins, meet McKenzie Tyler Hawkins." She said with tears in her eyes. Caroline gasped, WHAT THE HELL? Then something clicked in her head. This girl had the same eyes as Tyler, the same hair, the same EVERYTHING. This really was Tyler's kid. Oh, he was going to FLIP! She waved to the little girl. She really was a cutie. Blue eyes, bronzish hair, cute little nose. She was going to be a real beauty one day. She knelt down to McKenzie's level.

"Hey cutie I'm your Aunt Caroline," She whispered as she looked at the little girl. McKenzie smiled shyly and waved. Caroline stood up and pulled Ally to a bench. "Ally, there's something you should know..," She trailed off. Ally looked at her, anxiously.

"Well?" She questioned. Caroline couldn't tell her, she didn't have the heart. She did know why, but she just couldn't.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. What are you doing at the park, anyway?" she pressed.

"Practicing McKenzie's pageant walk for the pageant at the Empire Lounge in the Empire State Building," She answered excitedly. Caroline smiled and looked at McKenzie smiling Tyler's huge smile and waving a pageant wave. "What were you doing?"

"Oh, studying. I'm getting my pre-med, so I'm trying to be a good student," she answered. They talked for several hours, until it was getting dark.

"Ally, I'm having dinner with my parents tonight, I bet they'd be thrilled if you and McKenzie came." She left out that Tyler would be there too.

"Oh, no, we wouldn't want to impose on you, right Kenzie?" she said pointedly.

"Oh, can we please Mommy? I really like Aunt Caroline!" McKenzie exclaimed. Ally sighed.

"I don't know Kenzie…where are we eating at?"

"At my mother's house at 8. Please come Ally, it would mean a lot to everyone." Caroline begged her.

"Oh, alright, see you at 8 Caroline," Caroline jumped up gave Ally a bear hug and kissed the top of McKenzie's head.

"See you at 8!!!" Caroline squealed and ran off towards her car. Ally chuckled and took McKenzie by the hand as they walked back to their apartment.
