*Now cue where the prologue had left off*

Harrington Household
The front lawn
Monday, August 18, 2014
8:12 A.M.

Massie had taken a look at the house Dylan was living in. She had obviously downgraded since she had left Marvilous Marvils. Instead of such a stately mansion, Dylan had just moved into a rather large house or a mini mansion, she really couldn't tell. Such a shame too, Dylan could have easily dropped 2.4mil + on a nice home in Beverly Hills.

She walked up the walk and pleased to see a nicely groomed front yard. She had frowned though at the Disney Princess tricycle and children's toys littering the yard. Claire didn't tell her that Dylan was babysitting some kids this weekend! Massie would be almost positive that Dylan wouldn't have a kid yet. Not that they didn't like kids or anything but Massie was only 23, she had at least until she was 27 or even 32 before having kids of her own.

"Massie?" asked Derrick with a confused look on his face. Why was his ex-girlfriend and his wife's friend on his doorstep? He stood blankly unaware that his wife and daughter were waiting for him to invite whoever it was inside.

Massie studied him, he had shaggy blond hair and friendly brown eyes. He gave off an impression of a yellow lab puppy with spunk. Massie recalled him from somewhere…

"Do I know you?" she asked drawing a blank.

"I'm Derrick. Derrick Harrington we knew each other in middle school? We used to date in the eighth grade?" he said shaking his head confused. How could Massie forget him? She was the one that... Never mind he thought.

"Derrington," said Massie remembering the nickname she had given him but didn't notice him cringe at it. "I'm at Dylan's house right?" Massie knitted together her fine dark eyebrows in confusion. Oh gosh did Claire give her the wrong house? Maybe Dylan had moved away from this place.

Derrick sighed, he still hated the nickname even though it hadn't nearly been used in 11 years. He guessed that Massie didn't know that he and Dylan were in fact married and had a daughter together.

"Yea you're at the right place, come in," he said inviting her in. He shook his head and lead Massie to the kitchen.

Just great she was here in his kitchen. Not that Massie was mean or anything but she was unbelievably controlling sometimes. Derrick had remembered Massie telling Dylan to stay away from him back in the eighth grade. If she was here to run Dylan's life again he was defiantly going to have to stop her.

Massie's jaw nearly dropped but had stopped herself just in time. Claire did not say anything about Dylan dating Derrington again! In fact Claire didn't say anything about the PC's lives now since they had broken up. Granted that was probably her own fault and demanding answers about the past instead. She hadn't thought of Derrington in years especially after meeting James. Both had remained quiet until they had got to the kitchen.

Once inside the kitchen there was quite a bit of a mess. Chocolate pudding had splattered on the floor! Pudding stains started settling in the hardwood and a bowl splattered on the floor. In the middle of the kitchen stood Dylan scolding her daughter.

"I said no pudding for breakfast Cassidy," said Dylan. "I have a small container in your lunch box for you to have."

Cassidy stood with her lower lip trembling. Miraculously there was no pudding on their daughter. Clearly the young girl made a grab for the bowl with a loose lid. Which was probably Derricks fault since he liked having pudding at midnight. He couldn't help it! Dylan made some of the best food that was secretly healthy.

"Cass I'm sorry I yelled at you but we need to clean this up okay?"

"Okay mommy," said Cassidy still looking a bit sad before perking up. "Can I still have pudding?"

Dylan rolled her eyes but smiled as she was craving some chocolate pudding herself. She grabbed two hand towels and handed one to her daughter. Where was Derrick? He should have answered the door by now. Instead she did the best she could with a bulging abdomen wishing the babies would just come out already.

"Dylan," started Derrick but she had not heard him say her name. Massie stood there a shocked expression on her face at the sight of Dylan Marvil right now. If she had a picture of her right now the paparazzi would have a field day. Dylan was sitting on her knees with her red curls running down her back. She wasn't wearing anyone in particular and didn't wear any kind of makeup. Massie could not help but stare.

"Since when did you have a kid?" asked Massie staring and could not find herself to turn away. Claire had never told her this. Granted Massie wasn't letting her speak but keeping a secret like this should have been said. Even her thoughts were jumbled up unprepared for this as it was important to know.

Most people their age (23) didn't have kids; they were graduating college, creating careers, moving into new homes thought Massie thinking of Claire. None of them should be trading martinis' for baby formula, girl's nights for a Disney movie marathon.

Dylan stopped cleaning to turn around and look up. Above her stood Derrick looking sheepish about letting the woman in. Next to him stood Massie Block in a designer outfit that Dylan had not recognized. Some European thing? This was Massie Block she was talking about her outfit had to be designer.

Wait a second, Massie Block in her state of the art kitchen?! This did not compute as Massie should be in London taking Europe by storm. She should be in some private jet going to a far off place. Unlike herself, Dylan was in the middle of her kitchen floor cleaning up chocolate pudding.

"M… Massie?" she said unsure, maybe this was really Strawberry violating her restraining order.

"I thought Claire would be a housewife not you!" said Massie. Surprised that she had said that Massie had slapped her manicured hand over her mouth. Dylan found herself growing hot, she was a mother not a housewife. There was a difference or at least she hoped so.

Derrick had stepped forward to help Dylan get up from the ground. My gosh, she hated being this big, she was a lot smaller when she was pregnant with Cassidy. Then again she was carrying two children.

Cassidy looked up to the older woman before running to in front of Massie.

"My name is Cassidy Peyton Harrington and I'm this many!" said Cassidy holding up for fingers showing her age. "What's your name?"

Massie sputtered at the little girl that had come forward. Not only was Dylan about to pop any minute but she already had a four year old? Had the universe decided to switch Dylan and Claire's roll? Putting on a fake smile Massie bend down to face her.

"My name is Massie Block and I'm 23."

"Um Cassidy why don't you go to the car we have to get you to preschool," said Dylan. "Daddy's going to drive you okay?"

"Okay," she said as Dylan slipped a tan corduroy bag with a Winnie the Pooh monogram on it. Cassidy happily bounded into the garage and into a navy car. She happily pulled out her doll she was going to show off at show and tell.

Massie turned to the both of them and only looked incredulous at them. The look on her face read so oh really? Instead of feeling like Dylan's friend she felt like a parent ready to scold them. What were they thinking having a kid right now? Dylan was only 23!

Both Dylan and Derrick only looked at each other before saying anything. Derrick was still holding Dylan close his hand on her pregnant belly.

"It's really nice to see you Massie," said Dylan finding the words hard to actually say. Of course it wasn't nice to see her. She had left the PC falling apart when she had left!

Massie knew she had to be nice. It was hard though because Derrick was sending her that look that said 'you're kidding me right?' There was nothing nice about this day so far, at least for him. Not that he hated Massie or anything but this was too weird.

"I'm going to drive Cassidy to school," said Derrick. Massie only sent him a look that seemed to say be gone you peasant. She felt that she needed to be alone with Dylan right now anyway. Both seemed to forget that Massie was here because neither of them paid much attention to her. Derrick was whispering something into her ear and kissed her on the forehead before leaving.

Massie waited until the car had pulled out leaving Dylan alone. With Massie.

Does anyone but me ever picture Jason Dolley as Derrick (P.J. in Good Luck Charlie)? Would be funny to since the girls who play as Teddy and Skyler were in the clique movie.

Annd I'm still looking for anyone that is willing to bounce off ideas with me! Don't forget to review as it helps me update!
