Hey guys! Please continue reading and leaving reviews! I don't really have a set end to this story, I'm just letting the words come out and hoping it takes me somewhere. Saying that, leave ideas in the reviews and you never know what could show up in the story! Thanks and here is the third instalment:

She has a daughter?! She's not married, no boyfriend and she has a daughter… They'd talked about kids when they were dating, but she'd never expressed any extreme desire to have children. Hell, he'd been the one to fantasize about them and their three kids living in Jersey, spending their summers in Australia. He never told her that, but he just didn't want to scare her. She looked too much like Cameron to be adopted. Maybe it was a sperm donor, maybe after they broke up she had to fill an empty void in her life. He wouldn't ask questions, he wasn't sure he even wanted the answers. Cameron had just found his way back into his life, he didn't want to go prying.

"Here's my number," Cameron handed him a card, "give me a call. I'd like to grab that drink," she carried her daughter toward the pharmacy. He wasn't going to blow it. He was going to call her.

That night Cameron had put Chandler to bed early since she was sick. Or at least that what she told her. She wanted to get that call from Chase. Seeing him today she had felt herself light up in a way she hadn't in a very long time. She sat down and turned on the TV with her phone in an arm's reach. He probably wouldn't even call, why would he? They were divorced, yet she was still acting like when they first dated. And eventually she would have to explain Chandler. She didn't want to ever have to tell him. He never wanted kids, she couldn't just throw that on him. Where is this going anyway? Are they going to go out for drinks and then what? Date? Get married again? Give Chandler little brothers and sisters? This was too much. They DIVORCED! Lost in her thoughts she heard her phone ring and smiled at the caller ID, it was one she had missed oh too much.

"Chase?" she answered the phone.

"Cameron," he smiled on the other end, "Friday night?"

"What about it?" she was confused. It was Thursday, what is he blabbering about Friday for?

"Grab that drink…" He explained. What was he doing this was crazy. She didn't want to get a drink with him.

"Oh yeah defiantly, I'll just have to get a baby sitter,"

"Oh yeah of course, I'll come pick you up tomorrow then?" he asked

"Chase?" She just had to ask before he did. "You do want to do this right, you know how this could end and I just don't want to do anything-"

"Allison, I called you remember. And it will only end that way if we both want it to" they both knew what they were like. A couple drinks in, they both hadn't gotten much in while. They both knew where this could be headed, but neither of them did anything to stop it.

Early that morning Cameron brought Chandler to preschool with few tears shed. Chandler was independent as hell, but she still hated being away from her mommy all day. Cameron hated being away from her too. Hours at the hospital can be long, she hated having to leave her there all day sometimes having to get Anthony to take her home and get some sleep. The hospital daycare had a preschool through age 5. Chandler was turning five soon and the school year will be over. She didn't know what the plan was after that. Would she have to be one of those moms who got a nanny to pick her kid up and came home just in time to eat dinner and put her to bed? She didn't want to do that.

And Chase starts working here Monday. Chase, oh gosh she missed him. She missed that hopelessly romantic fool who would do anything to make her smile. Would she tell him? Hey chase, you've got a four year old daughter! That's not something you really bring up over martinis.

During her lunch break she stopped by the daycare to see Chandler.

"Mommy!" the thrilled four year old came running toward her. She scooped her up in her arms and hugged her as a smiles spread across both their faces.

"Hey babe, mommy's going to go out with her friend Chase. You remember Chase you met him yesterday?" she nodded. "I'm going to call Callie so she can stay the night with you okay?" Chandler looked a little upset, but she tried to mask it. She was so little but was so brave. It broke Cameron's heart knowing she disappointed her baby, but she just hugged her.

"Okay, mommy has to work. I'll pick you up and we'll get ice cream before mommy has to get ready okay?" That most adorable smile returned to her face. With a kiss on the forehead she made her way back out. Uhg mommy has to work. She hated the sound of it. She hated saying it. She hated most of all it being true. Her job had been the only thing keeping her happy after her first husband died. Then Chase came along, and after he was gone it was back to work. Now Chandler came first. Being with her was the thing she loved most of all more than anything. But mommy has to go to work has been her catchphrase since day one.
