Chapter 4: Secrets and lies

I go inside and I see her. My Blonde hair, blue-green eyes. She is a gorgeous little girl. She looks so much like her dad. I gave her up at birth, to my oldest guy friends. I stayed with him while I was pregnant. My mother shipped me away. She wasnt ready to become a doesnt even know about her I go over to her and she knows im her mother. I pick her up and she hugs me.

Hey babygirl. I say as I rub her head.

Mamma! She looks up at me with her bright blue green eyes.

How is she doing Bran? I ask my friend.

She's doing good. How is her momma?

I'm fine, so is her uncle. My mother died about 2 weeks ago. Did I ever tell you who her father is?

No.

Jeff Hardy.

No way. He says, as he doesnt believe me.

He is, where do you think she got her eyes from. everyone on my side has blue eyes. You know he took my virginity.

Yea. You know what you guys did is illegal.

Yea but do you think she can meet the other side of her family?

What do you want? He asks

Could I have her for the weekend?

I guess. Oh wait..Shannon doesnt know about her?

No, my mom sent me to you when I was pregnant. So no. Please Bran? They will love her.

Yea sure. Have her back by monday.

Thank you Bran. I love you.

I love you too Jess.
He goes and gets her things.

Hey baby you wanna go with mamma?

Yea! She screams.

He hands me her bag and her car seat and we go outside. He puts the carseat in the car. He stands back up after he puts Maci in the car.

Nice car. Looks familiar.

Yea. it was a birthday present from shannon. I tell him while I walk around and get in the drivers seat. I look at Bran and he looks nervous.

I laugh and say Don't worry, I know how to drive. Shannon taught me.

Oh god. Please Jess. Be careful she might be your daughter by blood but shes my daughter by law.

I smile and I shut the door. I drive off and I open my phone and call Shannon.

hey Jess what's up?

Um Shan i have something to tell you. I say in a shaky voice.

What?

You have a niece.

What? He almost yells

Yea. You never found out because you were always gone and mom sent me away during the pregnancy. I tell him as I pull into the driveway.

Where are you? He asks

Out front. Come meet your niece. I say

I hang up and get out and go get Maci out of her chair. As I stand up I look up and I see Shannon. I smile and he walks towards us and Maci gets excited. She reaches for him.

What's her name? He asks while he grabs her.

Maci. She says

Shannon laughs and I grab her bag and shut the car door. We go inside. He puts her down and we sit down on the couch.

I sigh and I lean my head on his shoulder. He pats my head.

How old is she? He asks

She's three.

What's her full name?

Maci Jayde Moore.

Who's the father?

I sit up and pats my knees

Maci, you hungry baby?

Uh huh, mamma me hungry. uncle Shan feed me? She asks

Yea baby. Shan, shes got some food in her bag there. I'm going to call her father. I only ask from you. Don't freak out. please I don't need that right now.

Maci walks over to him and he looks at her eyes.

She's got green eyes. Is it Jeff?

Yea.

He stands up and picks her up. He takes her in the kitchen and I go into my room and calls Jeff.

Oh Jess hey i'm sorry about eariler.

Jeff I need to see you. Can you meet me at our place?

Yeah

Ok. I'll be over in an hour.

Alright.

I walk out of my room and go into the kitchen. Shannon looks at me. He sees the worry in my face.
It will be fine Jess. It bothers me that my best friend impregnated my baby sister at the innocent age of 15 but i'll have to deal with it. He tells me as he puts his hand on my shoulder. I smile.

Thanks Shan. I'm going to show Maci to him tonight.

That should be interesting.

I laugh. About an hour later. I get Maci ready and I get ready and I call Jeff.

Hey Jess what's up? Beth answers

Hey Beth is Jeff around? I ask

um he's out in his studio. want me to get him?

Um no. i'll be coming around in a few minutes and I'm bringing my cousin too. I tell her.

Alright see ya in a bit.

Bye Beth

Bye

I hang up and grab Maci and i head out to Jeff's house. When I get there I take Maci out of her seat and take her inside. Beth is there. I smile at Beth.

This is?

Maci. I tell her.

Maci go lay down baby.

Ok. She says as she runs over and lays down on the couch.

Could you watch her while I talk to Jeff?

Yea sure honey.

Thanks.

I go outside and I walk over to his studio. I knock on the doesn't answer. So I go grab the hid-a-key from our secret spot and open the door. He has his headphones in and I walk behind him and take one out.

Hey Lurverboy. I whisper.

He turns around and pulls me on his lap and hugs me. He takes out the other one.

Hey Lurvergirl what's up?

I have to tell you something. We have a daughter.

He just looks at me.

Jeff say something.

I thought you..

No i didn't. My mom sent me away to my cousin's during my pregnancy and after I gave birth, he adopted her and today I went to see her. She knows who we are and it probably wasn't a good idea to leave her with Beth.

I run out of the studio and run to the follows me, When we get to the house, Maci is asleep on the couch. I smile. I look at Jeff and he looks like he is going to cry.

Since she is asleep. I think i'm going to take her home.

I'll help you Jess. He picks up Maci

Thanks Jeff, G'night Beth.

G'night honey.

We walk out of the house. We get to my car.

What's her name?

Her name is Maci Jayde Moore. She's got your eyes Jeff.

How long do you have her?

All weekend. You could come over tomorrow and spent time with her while she is awake.

Sure i'd love that Jess.

I gotta go lurverboy.

ok i'll see you two tomorrow. He hands me her and I put her in the carseat and I turn around and He kisses me. I break the kiss and Maci and I leave. I put her to bed and I come into the living room and lay on Shannon.
