Penelope caressed her daughter's honey hair. The little girl was looked at her, her big blue eyes full of happiness.
She fell in love with her smile, just like a mom could. "You're beautiful"
Her little arms was gently around her neck, her head resting on her chest, "I missed you"
Penelope's heart was filled with sadness. She had a lovely baby, and couldn't even remember her name.
"Sweetie, please, can you sit in that chair for a moment? I have to talk privately to ..."
She smiled from ear to ear, "He is my daddy"
The man's eyes widened in surprise. She raised an eyebrow, looking the man up and down. Oh, yes. She would have hundreds of his babies. Well, she did not have to be so drastic. After all, contraceptives were for something.
But she could give that sexy guy, hundreds, thousands of orgasms.
When the little girl was far enough away, she began to speak, "Who are you?" she whispered softly as much as she could.
He frowned in disbelief
"Who am I? Hey, what's wrong? Know that we have not seen each other for years but come on, it's me... I'm Derek ... don't you remember me?"
Penelope could see the pain that crossed his face.
"I can not remember anything. I'm amnesic"
Derek took a deep breath, before burying his head in his hands, "God ..." he whispered, in a devastated voice "This can not be happening"
"Uh ... well yes, this is happening. Least tell me the name of my girl. I don't want her to suffer because of my memory loss"
He raised his head, looking into Penelope's eyes "Her name is Melody"
Penelope put her hand on his arm "Sorry"
Derek shook his head, smiling, "Don't worry, baby. Glad you're here"
"I'm glad to be here, too"
She narrowed her eyes, smiling weakly
"Ok, I'm not happy to be here in the hospital. But I'm very happy to meet you ... again ... I mean, not that I remember you but ... if you're here ... "
His smile grew bigger, while he hiding a lock of her hair behind her ear "You still have that motor mouth"
A crazy thought crossed his mind
What could happen if he kissed her? Does she accept his kiss or she dislocate his neck with a slap?
He really needed his rest. He was beginning to lose his mind.
His cell phone rang in his back pocket and he turned away from Penelope. Melody quickly ran beside her mother.
"Morgan"
"Honey, where are you?, I'm waiting half an hour ago"
"Mom?" he asked, surprised, "Where are you?"
"Derek, I'm at the airport. You could not come to , Desiree and I are here"
Shit. Christmas Eve. He had been so stressed with the whole thing, he had forgotten even his own mother. What a nice gesture.
"Ok, give me ten minutes"
Derek sighed heavily, turning to look at the bed.
"Mom is sleeping," the girl said, worried "She will sleep for a month?"
"No, Mel. She's just tired. When we return from the police station, your mom will be awake"
She smiled, kissing her mother's cheek "I love you so much"

Fran took another sip of her coffee. Her daughter was too entertaining, playing with her Nintendo DS.
The woman shook her head, sitting next to Desiree "Don't understand these machines"
"You don't need to understand any of this, is not necessary"
"Where the hell is your brother?"
Desiree sighed, half laughing "Surely he was entertained with some floozy and you've ruined his fun"
"Des, please!" The woman screamed, almost offended "Don't talk about your brother that way"
"Oh, come on, Mom," she replied, rolling her eyes "You think Derek is a virgin?"
"I don't mind his affairs in bed. Period"
Fran sighed with relief when she saw her son's car park nearby.
"About time, baby. Honestly, I thought you never were coming for us"
She opened the passenger door, without listening her son, "Mom, wait, no ..." then she looked inside the car. In the seat, a smiling little girl "Hey grannie"
Fran's eyes widened. She looked at the girl, then Derek, and the girl again. "Grannie?"
Desiree's laughter filled the air "I told you. Did not you want grandbabies? Here you have a granddaughter. Hi sweetheart"
Fran shut her eyes, taking a deep breath. "Derek, can you leave the car for a minute? I NEED to talk to you"
They walked away from the car, while Melody looked at them carefully.
"I can explain it"
"You can explain it? Really, Derek? Then, start talking"
Derek bit his lower lip, not knowing what to say. "She ... she is Penelope's daughter"
"Where is Penelope?"
"She's in the hospital. Penelope had an accident. I could not leave her child alone herself. She's just a seven years old"
Fran looked down, slightly quieter, "Why you hid me your daughter for seven years?"
He frowned, whispering "I don't even know if she is my daughter"
"My God..." she whispered, with a faint smile, "She is your daughter. Even I've noticed. And I've only seen this girl for a few seconds"
"Mom ..."
"Why Penelope did this?"
"This is not her fault, okay?" Derek said, gulping "Don't be angry with her"
"I'm angry" Fran whispered, moving closer to her son "I'm very angry with her. Penelope gonna tell me her reasons"
"Penelope is sick, she just woke up from a coma"
"I don't care. She hid me my own grandchild. She had no right"
"Leave her alone!"
Derek ran his hands over his face in frustration. He never had shouted at his mother. Her eyes looked with disapproval, her face distraught
"Don't ever yell at me. Never do it again. Not for this woman, she never told you about your daughter. Just remember that"
