A/N- Thank you all for your reviews, I REALLY appreciate the help
A/N- SORRY, SORRY I KNOW I SAID I WOULD UPDATE LIKE FOREVER AGO but I have been way busy with school, and I had MAJOR WRITERS BLOCK!! I couldn't think of anything good so I rewrote it 9 times! Well it isn't very good sorry. Okay, now I want to thank my reviewers, you guys ROCK my world, thanks a ton! For this chapter all mistakes are mine but I may have a beta reader for next chapter! Yay! (Let's hope.) If you haven't read "She Didn't" yet DON'T it sucks and I was having a really bad week. FYI this chapter starts where the last one left off.
Disclaimer: I tried to borrow CSI's rights from the library but they wouldn't let me because I have a 10 late fee (for the CSI DVD's (No joke! (Can you put parenthesis inside other parenthesis, inside other parenthesis, etc.?))).

Sara entered the living room, and placed the ice cream and spoons on the coffee table in front of Eliza, whose bawling had subsided to a quiet whimper. She then walked over to her DVD cabinet and picked out Serendipity and placed the disk in the Player.
Sara sat by Eliza and stroked her hair until her whimpers disappeared and silent tears replaced them. The movie started and they watched silently until 15 minutes in Sara finally asked, "What happened?" in a low but steady voice. She knew it probably had something to do with Kimberly, but wanted to hear Eliza's side of the story.
Eliza let out a shaky sigh and started out quietly; "My mom showed up at my house about…" she looked up at the clock, "30 minutes ago." Eliza burst out in tears after that tidbit of information had been shared and went to her previous state of crying into Sara's shoulder. Sara just held her tighter for it.
A bit calmer Eliza started again; "She has been trying to call me but I haven't picked up, or called back. I just haven't been in the mood to talk to her."
"How long has she been trying to call you?" Sara wondered out loud.
That hit a nerve and Eliza blew, "That's the thing, I frantically tried to contact her for three months after she left, and the first time she called me back since then was LAST WEEK! My dad and I saw her for the first time in eight months and the first thing she does is yell at my dad and try to blame him for something he didn't even do!" Eliza looked absolutely devastated and it about broke Sara's heart.
Sara let Eliza curl into her as she continued…

"I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MY DAUGHTER BEING AT SOME WOMANS HOUSE!" Kimberly shouted after Nick hung up the phone with Sara.
"Well perhaps you should have acted like her mother if you wanted to say in her life." Nick said calm and collected.
"NICK I HAVE BETTER PARENTING SKILLS THAN YOU AND YOU KNOW IT." Nick almost burst out laughing at the last statement but held it to an amused smile instead.
"Yes, leaving without a word for eight months makes for excellent mothering skills." Nick said sarcastically
"I didn't WANT to leave Nick." Kimberly was almost in tears again.
"I didn't force you to cheat Kimberly." Nick said, mostly because of something she had told him at court about it being his fault.
True, she couldn't pin it on him again so she let out a sigh and went on, "You said right to my face to leave."
"And whose fault is that Kim?" She secretly loved when he called her Kim because he seldom had since he found out. She kept the smile in and put on a pout.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but now it's apparently too late. Is that what you're going to tell me? That I can never see my daughter again?" Her sympathy plans had always worked before but he didn't look too convinced this time.
"The thing that hurts the most is…" She was sure she had him. "…You didn't want her when you had your chance." Nick said coldly. He didn't care what she did to him but when she showed up to court for custody arrangements she simply stated that she didn't want any and gave Nick full custody, he would be thrilled except he knew Eliza was crushed.
Kimberly was absolutely speechless. On one hand she wanted to defend herself, and on the other she knew that he was right.
Nick couldn't stand it and sat down, "Why don't you leave." Nick said with his head in his hands.
Kimberly knew Nick well enough to leave, and let both of them cool down.
Nick heard the door shut, then took his head out of his hands and went upstairs and set his alarm for 45 minutes, and was asleep before he hit the pillow.

Eliza and Sara were half an hour through the movie when Eliza suddenly remembered something and jumped up. "I need to call my dad!" She said with a panicked voice, she ALWAYS told him where she was going to be at all times, but this little visit was obviously unplanned.
"Already done." Sara said wondering if Eliza would be mad or not.
When relief washed over her face Sara knew she made the right decision. "Oh thank GOD!" She said as she tried to calm herself down. She sat down and leaned on Sara as she was doing earlier and started to relax again.
Exactly an hour from when Sara had called Nick, the doorbell rang.
Eliza looked at Sara to see if she was expecting company, and Sara nodded her head toward the door. "It's your dad."
Eliza got up quickly, looked through the peephole (just in case), and opened the door jumping into her dad's arms. Nick was almost knocked over by her force against him but held his ground.
"I'm so sorry daddy!" Eliza said almost in tears again.
Nick held her tight, "You're okay, you're okay." He repeated over and over again as he stroked her hair.
By this time Sara had come in and was standing in the doorway to the living room.
"I think we should get going." Nick said regretfully. He wanted to stay with Sara, but he knew Eliza needed to go home.
"Alright, I'll see you at work." She said to Nick as they left the house.
"Bye" Nick said as he led Eliza to the car.

A/N- I know I know it sucked!! It wasn't even 1000 words and all of the words that were there were crap I AM SOOOOO SORRY I will post the next chapter tomorrow I would have put it with this chapter but I didn't think it would fit. I am answering individual reviews at the bottom because then you don't have to skip ahead of them to get to the story even though I'm sure you do with my extensive, ghastly, petrifying, agony filled author notes, and disclaimers anyway. THANKS FOR READING!!
I got 7 reviews last chapter, YAY that's my highest yet! I REALLY APREATITE THEM THANK YOU!!

Meg-Breanne- I love to know what things in particular you like, it really helps me in writing. I thought it would be fitting for Eliza and Sara to have an interesting relationship.
