Yup another update on Family Matters…Coventry is still under construction but the first chapter WILL be up before my birthday. Anyways you all know I don't own anything. Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Chad looked at Taylor and the little girl in her arms. She looked to be about 8 years old, which was around the time Chad had left in the first place.

"Tay…" Chad said softly still confused as Taylor walked around him with the girl in her arms.

"It's Ms. McKessie to you sir" Taylor said formally, she wasn't going to let him ruin everything that she had worked for. She had built herself a wall of protection around her and Mika and no one not even her old lover Chad Danforth would bring it down.

"Ms. McKessie….can I ask you something?" Chad asked nervously as she opened the door to the room and turned around.

"Of course Mr. Danforth what can I do for you?" Taylor asked cautiously.

"Who's her father?" Chad asked pointing to Mika in Taylor's arms. Taylor just put on a smile and took a deep breath.

"No one important Mr. Danforth, no one important" She said coldly as she turned and left him in his room with his mouth wide open. He had to figure out who was the girls father, he didn't care what it would take. He wanted a family with Taylor and if she had a daughter with someone else he'd hunt the man down and hurt him.

In the elevator, Taylor took a deep breath trying to calm herself down as she looked at her daughter as she put Mika down.

"Mommy who was he?" Mika asked.

"No one important sweetie, no one important to you" Taylor said with a fake smile but Mika didn't see the fakeness as soon as they reached the ground level. Mika ran out of the elevator to go play with one of the employees who ran the daycare. Taylor let out a sigh of relief as she went back to front desk to make some phone calls.

"Yes….I know….please sir let us make it up to you….yup….sure…no problem…thank you sir" Taylor said hanging up from the phone call she had when the phone rang again as she noticed it was one of the rooms.

"Front Desk, Taylor speaking how may I help you?" Taylor asked as she picked up the phone to answer it.

"Taylor, who is Mika's father?" Chad asked on the other end sounding demanding.

"Chad I don't have time for this I'm trying to work" Taylor said her voice sounding annoyed as she looked around at her co-workers who didn't seem to notice that it had become a somewhat personal phone call.

"Taylor please I just want to know who it is" Chad said over the phone his voice sounding softer than before almost begging. Taylor sighed as she looked around her once more.

"You are" Taylor said and hung up the phone before he could respond. She sighed as she went back to checking people in with a fake smile on her face. Now all she wanted to do was to go home with Mika to her apartment that she could finally afford.

Back in Chad's room he looked at the phone…Mika was….his?! He couldn't believe it, how could that be? They only had sex one time and right after that he moved. And Taylor never got in touch with him to tell him that he had fathered a child. But why didn't she? Maybe she tired to but couldn't get through to him? He had so many questions running through his mind and he wanted them answered….NOW. After 8 years of not knowing he wanted to know everything that he missed. And he wasn't going to stop until he figured it all out.

He ran out of his hotel room after grabbing his keys and everything and shutting the door behind him. He wanted answers and he was going to get them face-to-face. He went to the elevator as he hit the lobby button as he waited impatiently as the elevator seemed to be moving in slow motion with the lame elevator music. As the elevator dinged for the lobby floor Chad dashed out dodging people as he desperately looked for the front desk. He saw Taylor and Mika starting to leave the hotel as he picked up the pace. What he didn't notice was a bell boy cart infront of him, and it was unfortunate timing that he fell and someone from the media was there and took a picture of him.

A bunch of luggage had landed on top of Chad as he pushed it all off and noticed Taylor and Mika no longer in site. He got up and ran outside looking down both sides of the street for them….no such luck. He turned and went back inside as he went up to the front desk.

"Excuse me, did Taylor McKessie just leave?" Chad asked the lady behind the counter. She looked up from her work.

"I'm sorry sir, Ms. McKessie had just left" The lady said looking at Chad.

"Can you please tell me where she is living?" Chad asked almost begging.

"I'm sorry sir, I can not give out that information. Company policy sir." The lady said as she looked down at her work again.

"Can you tell me when she works again and what time?" Chad asked desperately.

"She'll be back tomorrow sir, at 9 o'clock sir after she takes her daughter to school" The lady said looking at Chad, who nodded.

"Thank you" He said as she nodded back as he went back to his room. So he would wait until tomorrow to get his questions answered.

While Chad had got temporarily 'held up' by the bell boy cart, Taylor and Mika had walked outside with all there things. Taylor lead Mika over to her car which ran fine just it was a bit older and didn't heat up very good. When they got home Taylor made dinner and then went sent Mika to bed. She had no idea what was going to happen tomorrow.
