Carley's POV

I'm in the kitchen and Kayde comes rushing in "Has anyone seen my shoes? I have to be there in an hour"

"She said around 10. You don't have to be there exactly at that time" I shrug. "There in the living room" David cuts in and Kayde nods and leaves the room.

"Will you quit being so off with him? He's just excited about going to the game is all" He frowns "Well it shouldn't be like this. The two of them have been texting and calling each other since Sofia and Michael came over... not once has she tried to talk to me" I mutter that last part. "The only time she spoke to me was when I answered Kayde's phone while he was in the bath and she just asked for him. She didn't even ask how I was"

"Michael said she'd be like this at first. We just need to give her time... and it's Leanne not Sofia. She's not our baby anymore, but we still have a chance to get to know her" he says that last part softly. "I can't believe your taking Michael side again" I frown. "Do you really think he gives a crap about us getting to know her!? He's probably just saying that so we don't try and get close to her. He did it before remeber and.. "

"And he also brought her to our house so we could finally meet her" he cuts me off. "I understand why you hate Michael so much and with the things he's done in the past. Apart if me hates him too and..."

"Then why are you always sucking up to him and acting like your his friend?" I cut him off. "Because like it or not. Michael has been there when she needed him the most and they've been through alot together and she went to live with Michael when she was 16 and..."

"Because he bought her and..."

"Regardless of why she first went to live with him.. She did" he cuts me off "The fact is she did and he's spent the last two years taking care of her by himself and in a way he had a part in raising her"

"And also married her an took her virginity. You don't think there's something wrong with that?"

"It's weird I know, but so is this whole situation and there's nothing we can do about it can we? And sitting here complaining and getting jealous that she talking to Kayde isn't gonna change that"

"I'm not jealous" I frown and he raises an eyebrow at me not saying anything and I sigh heavily.

"I just always pictured things would be different when we found her is all. I'm her mother. It should be me she wants to get to know and.."

"But in her eyes your not. Just like I'm not her father and just like you, it kills me knowing she doesn't think of me as her dad, but she's safe and she's finally in our lives. Don't push her away by being all clingy and pushy about getting to know her. Just let it happen gradually. You heard what Michael said. We have to let her come to us" he says softly.

Leanne's POV

"Did you just see that!?" Randy frowns "he just knocked my phone right of the table"

"He's a kitten. Bugsy likes to bat at things too sometimes. It's just a cat thing" I shrug. "No! He purposely pushed my phone of the table! He looked at me as he was doing it"

"I think your being a little paranoid" Michael chuckles and TJ walks in. "What's going on?"

"Their cats knocked my phone off the table! I don't know why I come here sometimes" Randy mutters. "Jeez. I'll get you a new iPhone after The game. Chill out" Michael rolls his eyes.

"I still don't get why you hate cats so much" TJ shrugs, and walks over and strokes Titch. "Not all. Just those two assholes" he frowns, pointing at Bugsy and Titch. "It's only you they don't like. Maybe your evil. Animals cat sense stuff like that" I shrug and he's about to speak when my phone beeps and it's Kayde.
