Hey here's your chapter enjoy!!
"Mommy are you k?" Sophie asked grabbing one arm and trying as hard as a four year old can to help her mother up.
"I'm fine sweetie thanks for asking." Massie said standing up and brushing off herself. "Are you ok? I'm sorry I was totally spacing out."
"Mommy?" The girl said getting up. It was . . .. . .. . . . Dylan! "I knew it! You and Dempsey! Wow I was suspicious when I heard the giggle this morning, but I thought I was just delusional!"
"What?" Massie asked her clearly confused "You weren't there this morning. It was just Me, Derrick, Alicia, Dan, and the Producers right?"
"Oh I was there waiting for Leesh. I got Derrick on the phone, well he called me and demanded me to give the phone to Dan. When I heard a giggle I knew it wasn't you so I asked Leesh just to make sure I wasn't completely crazy. We both heard her giggle." Dylan explained. "By the way she's just adorable!"
"Dylan. Dylan." Massie mumbled so low that she wasn't sure Dylan heard her, but she had. "It's not Dempsey. He's not Sophie's father..."
Dylan look confused, her eyes glazed over as she tried to think of all the possibilities "Then who is? I can't think of anyone else. Maybe I'm just brain zapped. The Daily Grind is causing a lot of stress. Did you know Miley Cyrus will only come to an interview if she gets specially imported water. Little Brat."
"Deh-ick!" Sphie shrieked pointing at a TV screen, in a window. She ran to the window and watched the re-runs of Derrick's many victories, closley
Dylan's eyes got extremely wide. She looked at the screen and Sophie. "You don't mean..... You and Derrick! Thats what was going on last night! Wow....... Claire doesn't want him to know, but neither do you either....."
Massie nodded. "He's finally doing ok... He has Claire, his soccer career is going great, and a life that is going in the right direction. I don't want to just swoop in and ruin it all. I don't want to hurt him anymore than I already have. Again, he has Claire."
Dylans face got red and all the way to her side part. "Massie Elizabeth Block! Don't you think Derrick has a right to know that he has a daughter! And you know very well, that Derrick loved you and still probably does. Claire is nothing more than a rebound or in a way a fling!"
Masie looked around and people were now stoping to watch the scene unfold. "Dylan can we talk about this later/ Unless you want all this on every gossip magazine, website, and talk show there is."
"Ok, but your coming to Derrick's game today. Cam and Derrick got their team and their rivals the Kangos to play. It's at the old soccer field downtown they're trying to raise money to restore it. I'll pick you and Sophie up in an hour. So you can't weasel out of it just because Derrick and the Ice Queen will be there." Dylan ordered.
Massie shook her head. Dylan gave her a glare and reluctantly she nodded. "Sophie let's got home. I'll fix yiou your favorite mashed potatoes! Oh and we need to get there before Dylan does.."
Sophie's face lit up with excitement and she started pulling Massie in the direction of the exit. "Come on mommi! Mash atoes are waiting!"
Massie shrugged in a Kids-what-can-you-do way and Dylan smile back in a awww-she-is-just-the-cutest-thing-since-the-iPod way. She picked Sophie up and carried her to the Range Rover. Carefully, she put Sophie in and buckled her up, opened her door,buckled up, started the engine, and headed to their home.
-O-
"Here you go Sophie." Massie cooed feeding her freshly made mash potatoes. Sophie smiled with delight and swallowed. The door Bell rang. "Anna could you be a dear and let them in please."
She heard the thumping of Anna's feet walking down the stairs and went back to feeding Sophie. "Sophie mommy will be right back. Mommy just needs to see who that is. I love you honey."
"I wuv you too mommi!" Sophie said digging into her mashed potatoes and smiling widely. There was a rare moment when Sophie wasn't smiling. It was just part of her like rain is to clouds, light is to the sun, it was just like that.
Massie turned around and came face to face with none other than. . . . . . .Alicia and Dylan. Alicia was smiling widely and Dylan was smiling and had her left eyebrow raised in a oh-I-sooo-knew-this-would-happen kind of way.
"MASSIE ELIZABETH BLOCK! How come you never ever told me, even before you left that you and Dempsey were having a kid!?!" Alicia happy squealed. "It's just so adorable she has your eyes and dirty blond hair....that doesn't. look like, dempsey's...... Wait! No way! No frickin way! Derrick? As in Derrick and you?"
Massie nodded shyly and smiled a bit. She turned around and looked at Sophie. Sophie was looking at them with a cute little puzzled look on her face. It was adorable. Alicia went over and started cooing over how adorable Sophie was. Sophe of course being Massie's daughter loved the attention.
"Hey Sophie were gonna see your daddy play tonight." Alicia said in a baby voice. Massie made a stop talking sign with her finger and pleaded Alicia with her eyes to stop, talking. Alicia took the hint and instantly shut up going on about how she loved Sophie's outfit.
"Wat? Mommi said daddy gone and nevur see again." Sophie said curiously and some tears brimming on her eyelids. "Mommi! We gonna see daddi!!! Leasha found daddi!!"
Alicia awwwed at Sophie's nickname for her, but Massie gave her a thanks-a-lot look. "Umm.. Yea honey we're going to see daddy but don't say a word cause his soon to be wife is really mean and I don't want her to hurt you. Oh and just stay by mommy so I don't loose you in the mass of people that will be there."
Sophie nodded. "But mommi you not mean. Why you say so?"
Massie laughed. "Your so adorable. No your daddy isn't marrying me he's marrying a lady named Claire Lyons. She doesn't like mommy or you which is mean cause your so adorable."
Massie started tickling Sophie. She squealed out in enjoyment. "Mommi. Why daddi don't wuv you?"
Alicia decided it was time to jump in. "Well this has been so much fun but Mass we've got to go so we aren't late. I so do not want to sit next to some nacho cheese disaster who smiles at me with cheese in his teeth. Not that I'm that superficial anymore, but come on that's just disgusting. Anyways, that's not the point lets go."
Massie giggled at Alicia's babbling and picked up Sophie. She wiped her mouth and grabbed her keys. Locking the house, she took a deep breath knowing that at least some drama was coming up. Sophie pulled her to the limo and they both got in.
-O-
Alicia got out of the limo first, then Dylan, and then Massie and Sophie. When they all walked out of the limo, everyone - and I mean everyone - stared, and then the whispering started. Alicia and Dylan just walked away acting as if nothing in the world was wrong, Massie however rolled her eyes at the gossiping people and glared at whoever took a second glance at her or Sophie.
Alicia led them all up to the top row reserved for only those who were close with the soccer players on the field. All the soccer players ran out from under the stadium bleachers on opposite sides. Josh, Cam, Kemp, and Chris walked out of the little underground hall after all the other overexcited players had run out. Derrick and Claire came out after them, Derrick was leaning to the left - away from Claire - and Claire acted as if nothing was wrong. She looked into the crowd and saw them.
She gave Massie a wicked smirk and pulled Derrick closer to her and kissed him on the lips. Massie rolled her eyes in a gag-me kind of way. Derrick crinkled his eyebrows together, and looked to where Claire was smirking. He saw Massie and it was like it was just them when they locked eyes. Massie was the first to look away. Claire looked like you could boil eggs on her head, and it wasn't very flattering.
Derrick pulled away from Claire and joined the rest of the team for a warm up, which was basically them all kicking the ball really hard to each other, and talking about what - or who in Massie's opinion - they did last night. Sophie looked up from her little palm pilot - which she was drawing a picture of Massie, her, and her image of what her dad looked like to her.
"Deh-ick?" Sophie whispered, probably to herself. She got up from her seat and started running down the stairs. Massie sat there with her mouth open for a second and then chased after her. Dodging people and she accidentally tripped a lady with a pointy nose and beady eyes. Someone grabbed her arm she turned and saw....... Alex!
Flash back
Massie had just come out of the local Market and had gotten a copy of US Weekly - she had an obsession -, diapers for Sophie, and a few bottles of baby food, when she bumped into someone and they both fell to the floor.
"I'm sooo sorry. I'm such a klutz and I was in my own little world." Massie apologized picking up her bag. She blushed thinking only she could have this happen, especially here in North Carolina.
"It's ok. I wasn't paying attention that much either." he said getting up. Massie gave him the once over. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, and his shaggy light brown (A/N: I don't know what's with me I'm just a fan of the light brown haired guys my friends say I'm crazy...Oh well). that just touched his eyelashes. He smiled and Massie smiled back.
"So want to tell me what was on your mind exactly when you ran into me?" He asked Massie. She gave him a questioning look. "You just looked like you were thinking of something when you were picking up your bag besides embarassment."
She blushed again and explained everything to him. After a while they became good friends, but then something happened one night.
Massie sighed as she stretched her arms out. Her and Alex had just got done watching one of her favorites Tuck Everlasting (A/N: Yes I'm a dork but i love that movie I cry every time!). Alex turned off the TV and they had just been there staring at each other the whole time.
"Hey Mass. I know this is really random, but do you want to move to Los Angles with me?" Alex asked looking directly at her, his blue eyes piercing through her gaze.
"Well yea! We could live by the beach! Ehmagawd and Sophie would love being able to swim everyday. I'm sure she'll make a million friends there too! This is a great idea Alex I can't believe you didn't ask me before!" Massie said now standing up from the excitment. Something in Alex's gaze faltered.
"Actually I was thinking just us." Alex said. Massie gave him a horrified look. "Before you say no think about it. No trace of Derrick, Claire, or any of them left in your life. You'll be free from your past. Nothing to worry about. Besides she'll only get in our way."
"Get out of my house." Massie told him as calm as she could. When he didn't move an inch she repeated "Get out of my house or I'll call the police."
Massie never saw Alex after that or wanted to. He moved to California a month later and Massie didn't bother trying to keep in touch with him
End of Flashback
"Let go of me. If you haven't noticed Sophie is running somewhere and I need to get her before she either gets hurt or kidnapped." Massie said struggling to free herself. She looked down Sophie was at the edge of the soccer field and running towards the goal.
"No. Who cares if she dies? She ruined what we had. Besides she always got in the way. Mass I have missed you and this is the only way for us to be happily together. I have a house in California for us. You and Me not Sophie." Alex whispered in her ear.
"Get away from me! I can sue you for Murder!" Massie said looking again, that was her mistake. Sophie was running toward Derrick while a ball was coming straight for her, and by the looks of it, it would kill her.
"SOPHIE!!!" Massie shrieked, tears now pouring down her face, she looked away for a moment, and then summoned all her strength into her fist and hit Alex in the nose. He let go of her and staggered back, obviously shocked by the power in her hit.
"SOPHIE!!!" Massie shrieked. The ball was now about five feet from her, Sophie had just realized that something was wrong and stood in shock as the ball came flying at her. Massie closed her eyes, she couldn't bear to see her die, she meant so much to Massie.
Then the cheering started. Massie opened her eyes and there on the huge screen Derrick was holding Sophie. A replay went on the screen. Derrick had seen the scene unfolding in front of him, ran towards Sophie, grabbed her and spun to the right before the ball could hit them. The ball barely missed them.
Derrick was holding Sophie and tickling her. She of course was giggling like there was no end. Claire looked ready to kill. She looked up at Massie and gave her a glare that basically said don't-you-dare. Massie ignored her and ran down the bleachers, to Sophie.
"Oh, my, god, thank you so much Derrick." Massie said tears still running down her face. She grabbed Sophie out of his arms. "Don't you ever scare mommy like that again ok sweetie?"
"Eh k mommi. I sawwi." Sophie said giving Massie a Derrick like puppy dog pout. "Mommi. Why that lady giving me mean looks?"
Massie looked to where Sophie was pointing. It was Claire. "Oh sweetie that's Claire, the Ice Queen of Westchester. And Derrick's soon to be wife."
Sophie looked like two wires had just connected in her brain. She walked over to Derrick and looked at Massie for a second. Derrick looked down at her and squatted down to her height. Sophie gave him a hug.
Next, she said something Massie least expected her to say to Derrick. "Daddy?" she murmured.
Gawd. I'm such a cruel person to leave off her but oh well. Sorry! Review please
