I just adore the reviews I have been getting. They make me happy and want to keep posting. So, thanks to my reviewers :)


Chapter 5

"I think Speed might be your new daddy." Jamey said once him and Vie were downstairs.

"Why?" Vie asked intriguingly.

"Because, my mommy said if two people sleep together naked and are old, it means that they are in love and want to get married."

"Wow, I might get a cool daddy." Vie said after thinking about Jamey's comment for a few minutes.

"Do you think he is your real daddy, you look a lot like him?"

"I don't know, that would be cool if he was." Vie said as her mind started to run wild.

------------------

After lunch, Jude and Speed took Vie and Jamie sledding. Jude spent most of her time watching Jamey and Vie run up the hill just to slide back down. Speed of course had to join them. He mostly snowboarded down beside them.

"Speedy, can you show me how to snowboard like you?" Vie asked after a little while.

"We can give it a try, here hop on with me." Speed said as he picked Vie up and placed her on the board with him.

"Be careful Speed." Jude shouted as they took off down the hill.

"That was fun Speedy." Vie said after they got up from their fall half way down.

"It was, you will get better. Takes a lot of practice, just like the guitar." Speed replied.

"Would you help me with guitar too? Tommy tries but he is always too busy for me and so is mommy."

"Well, I will always be here to help you sweets."

"Speedy, are you my daddy?" Vie asked nervously. Jamey's comment really had her thinking.

"Vie, no, I am sorry. I wish I was, I would always make time for you but we can be best friends."

"I would like that, do you love my mommy?"

"More then anyone knows. She was my first and only true love."

"I think she loves you, could you be my new daddy and marry her?"

"Vienna, for your age you ask a lot of questions about love and stuff don't you?"

"Yes, I just want a daddy and I like you the best of any guy friend mommy has had. You like her and me both."

"We will see sweets, want to go solo now?"

"See about what?" Jude asked walking over.

"Oh nothing important, right Vie?" Speed replied winking at her.

"Right, Jamey, lets ride the inner tube." Vie said as she ran off.

"We are leaving in ten minutes guys." Jude shouted.

"Ok." Jamey and Vie replied.

"Oh, and we have a meeting in two hours." Jude said to Speed.

"Oh fun fun, what about Wally and Kyle?"

"They will be filled in Friday when they show up." Jude replied then asked, "Want to take a ride with me?"

"Hop on sledding babe." Speed said as he pulled up a sled for them.

--------------------

"Welcome home Vin!" Darius said as Speed walked in the boardroom.

"Thanks D, it is great to be home. I missed it here. None of the other studios could compare to my dear Toronto G-Major." Speed said as he sat down across from Jude.

"Alright…now down to business. As we all know G-Major is celebrating twenty-five years of being under my label. We are having a major blowout to celebrate this." Darius said.

The meeting lasted two hours. The whole meeting Jude and Speed kept exchanging smiles. Speed acted like he was really into what Darius was saying, Jude on the other hand could only concentrate on Speed. Jamie noticed this as well as Mason. Once the meeting was done, Speed had stuff to take care of with Darius as Jude went to her office with Jamie.

"So, how was the homecoming last night? I am guessing by your face the sex was pretty good?" Jamie asked once in Jude's office.

"It was amaz….hey wait, how the hell do you know?" Jude snapped.

"Jamey came home saying that Vie might get a new daddy because as the law says, if you sleep naked with someone you want to marry them." Jamie replied.

"You and your half ass excuses." Jude smarted off.

"Hey, this wouldn't be a problem if you just told your kid the truth about everything. She is going to hate you when she is grown and finds out everything." Jamie replied.

"Well, won't Jamey hate you too?"

"You are the only reason we don't tell him all the stuff. Patsy and I want to but you won't let us. Jude, you need to tell Vienna the truth about you, her dad, everything."

"When she is older." Jude said before she stormed off.

--------------------

A couple days later, Speed volunteered to pick Vie up from school. He waited outside the door with most of the parents. He felt odd being there. He then saw Jamey walk out and knew Vie had to be near. He then saw Vie; she took off running at him screaming his name. She jumped into his arms and hugged him. He lifted her up and hugged her back. She then kissed his nose.

"What was that for?" Speed asked confused.

"Because I love you." Vie said as she rested her head on his shoulder holding on to him.

"Thanks Vie." Speed said confused.

"I made you something and Mrs. Raymond wants to talk to you." Vie said once Speed sat her down.

"Thank you Vie, it is lovely. I will be back." Speed said then Vie ran off and he walked up to the teacher wondering why her teacher would ever want to talk to him.

"Remember me Vincent?" Mrs. Raymond said as she turned around.

"Oh my god, Monica Robbins?" Speed shouted once he saw the teacher's face.

"You bet." Monica said as she gave him a hug.

"Wow, you got married?" Speed replied as he looked at Monica.

"Yes, and the divorce is almost final. This makes two."

"Damn, missed a lot didn't I?"

"Yes you did, is Kyle really coming back with Wally?"

"I sure hope so and he is single."

"Good, I can't wait to see him. So, are you and Jude engaged?"

"No, why?"

"It is just that Vie has been bragging about this guy who is staying with her mommy and how he is going to be her new daddy. She said he is awesome and so much fun. He takes her places and helps her with her homework as well as making her mom smile all the time."

"Great, adds more fun."

"Hey Speed, there is hope. I haven't seen Vie take to any of Jude's boyfriends like you. I also know that every year on the day you left she has these bad days where she won't leave the house or talk to anyone. She just stays in her room in the dark and cries cursing herself for letting you leave. She apparently was caught once about to OD on the first anniversary of your breakup. She took it hard."

"Didn't know that…I got to go. Nice seeing you Monica." Speed said as he ran off to get Vie. The talk with Monica made him feel awkward yet a little happy but sad that Jude had gone through all that.

When he approached Vie, he heard her telling a little girl, "That guy is going to be my daddy. He loves me and my mommy both, not just mommy."

"SPEED! WAIT UP!" Monica yelled chasing him down.

"Huh?" Speed as turning around.

"I forgot to give you this." Monica said handing him a piece of paper with her number and address on it. "Call me if you ever need anything or if Wally and Kyle get back early."

"Thanks Mon." Speed said bending down and giving Monica a friendly little kiss.

"Vie, time to roll." Speed said as he headed to his car. That is when he noticed Vie was standing there crying. "Sweets, what is wrong."

"You are supposed to love mommy, not Mrs. Raymond." Vie cried.

"What are you talking about?" Speed asked a little confused.

"You kissed my teacher and you are only supposed to kiss my mommy." Vie cried.

"Honey, that was a different kiss then I give your mommy." Speed said now trying to figure out how to stop Vie from crying.

"It didn't look different."

"It was."

"No it wasn't."

"Remember how I gave you a kiss good night last night?" Speed asked desperate.

"Umhmm."

"It was like that, just a friendly little kiss."

"It was?"

"Yes, Moni…Mrs. Raymond is one of my best friends. I could never be her boyfriend." Speed said hoping that made since.

"So you still love my mommy?" Vie asked as she stopped crying.

"Of course, and you." Speed said as he scooped up Vie in his arms and turned around to see Monica staring at them and thinking about something.

-------------------

"Vie, has your mom ever told you about your dad?" Speed asked.

"Not really. She said he was funny and the one true love of her life. Jamie told me stuff. He said he was funny too and that he was sick at how in love him and my mom were. Do you know him?" Vie replied looking at Speed hoping for answers.

"I don't know." Speed replied realizing how much he had missed over the past eight years. Jude had a six-year-old daughter that he knew nothing about. And while he thinks, why don't you review?
