"this morning, your mom is worried about you."

"i'm fine" I said

"it doesn't look like it."

I didn't say anything

"go get changed"

We were in the resturant.

they sat the food in front of us. I looked at it then back at the floor.

"eat, you have a game in two days"

"i don't know if i'm playing"

"your playing......what if Ali watchs the game and finds out her daddy isn't

"Did he eat?" mom asked my dad. they were in the living room. I was in the dining
room.

"yeah. he did"

"i'm worried about him, troy." she said

"he going to be okay, he going though alot"

"Troy, he not sleeping, and its only been a day." i was listening in the dining,
just looking at my hands, and i started thinking about everything that had happened
the last few years. I put my head in my hands , i felt tears to start to come to my
eyes.

"you okay?" I heard mom ask.

"no"

"you'll not going to lose her."

I looked up "how do you know?, first my wife, my baby and now maybe my little girl,
mom I.....I...."

"baby?"

I put my hand on my forehead.

"baby?" she asked again.

"kaylee was pregnant." I said not looking at her.

"oh my god" she sat down.

"she was about three months, i didn't know, the doctors told me."

"Sidney"

"I don't know, mom i can't"

"your not damn it, Sidney" she said getting loud.

I got up.

"where are you going?"

"i'm going to try to get some sleep." i said

"good."

I walked upstairs, and stopped at Ali door. i didn't go in. When i got to my room.
the pictures from Christmas were on the nightstand. I picked them up and went though
them. Kaylee just kept coming up in my mind.

Flashback

"i love you." she said

"i know" I said with a smartass grin arcoss my face.

"Sid"

I laughed "i love you too."

"thats more like it." she leaned across the table and kissed me.

"are you sure you don't want any wine?" I asked her again when the waiter walked by.

"yeah, im sure."

"why?, you always have wine. "

"because i don't."

"okay" I said

a few mintures later,

"so you ready to go?" i asked her.

"yeah."

We got up I put her jacket on her., we walked out of the resturant.

"and i have something I have to tell you later."

"really?" i asked

"yeah"

"tell me now"

"no, i want to tell your later."

"why?"

"because i want to."

"come on." i said

"no, lets go get our daughter."

"okay."

We stop at a intersection. i looked at Kaylee.

"what?" she asked

"your beautiful" she smiled "and i want to know what you have to tell me."

She laughed. I looked at the light it turned green. I went.

I heard a horn, then Kaylee yelled. 'Sidney'

I next thing i know is i woke up in the hospital later the next day. I slowly opened
my eyes. i ran my hand over the top of my head. there was bandage around my head, i
had a headache. I kept closeing and opening my eyes, and it took me awhile to relize
where i was.

"Sidney" i looked at the door, my mom was standing in the doorway.

"mom" i said, i started to sit myself up.

"what are you ........?"

"we got here this morning"

"we?"

"your dad, taylor and I"

"What happend?"

"you don't remember"

"i remember going to dinner with Kaylee then we were in the car."

"you were in the a car crash."

"what?......Where Kaylee?"

"Sidney."

"wheres Kaylee?" I said again.

"Sidney, its not good."

"Mom." I said

"she didn't make it."

"mom"

"i'm sorry sweetie."

"no....no..." I said starting to cry. "i want to talk to the doctor."

"sidney, thats---'

"now"

"okay, i'll go get him."

She left, when she came back the doctor was with her.

"Sidney glad to see your wake how are you feeling?"

"that doesn't matter what about my wife." I asked and my mom left the room.

"I think i does matter."

"my wife."

"there nothing, we could have done."

I put my hand on my head.

"i'm sorry, for your loses."

"loses?"

"your wife, and the baby."

"baby?"

"your wife was about three month pregnant."

I couldn't believe. " that what she wanted to tell me." I said to myself.

"Miss. Mitchell why do you think "you and your husband should have custody of Alison?"

"well, i've been a mother for a long time, and i'm a stay at home wife, and I think
we will always have time for her and gave her the attention that she needs." she said

"so you think Mr. Crosby doesn't give his daughter the attentions she needs?"

"how could he, he has games and he's on the road."

"so you think you and your husband are better then Mr. Crosby?"

"yes"

"okay, thank you, your honor."

"Okay, Mr.Miller " the judge said, and my lawyer stood up.

"Miss. Mitchell, you say that Mr. crosby doesn't have time for daughter?"

"yes"

"do you know that for sure?"

"well not-"

"answer the question yes or no"

"no, but his job and no one's there."

"your saying because he has a career he has no time for his daughter. Miss. Mitchell
did you know that Sidney has missed games in the pasted for Ali?"

"no sir."

"is there any other reason that you think sidney has no time for his daughter?"

"no"

"it doesn't have anything to do with that you don't like him."

"I brought her to see them, but they were mad that i didn't bring her around easrier
and really want to see her. " I said, their lawyer looked back at Kaylee parents.

"why did you finally bring her by?"

"because I though that how kaylee would want it."

"After your wife pasted way, why didn't you came sooner?"

"we betwwen getting over the lost of Kaylee, my career and taking care of Ali. i

"i know, but she got to be in there, she'll be with me" she whispered

"daddy, what are we doing here?" Ali asked

"I got to do some stuff" i told her her,as I told her I looked up and saw Kaylee
Parents walkin. They sat down they finally call us.

We got up and went in. they wanted Ali to stay out of the court room, witch was okay with me. So my mom stayed with her.

Chapter 22

the next few day, i've been thinking matbe I sould take her, to see kaylee family, I don't know.

A week later, I had a day off, i was taking Ali to see Kaylee family. i didn't like
what I was about to do but Kaylee would want it. I knocked on the door.

"Daddy, what are we doing here?"

"you'll fine out"

Then the door opened

"Oh, Sidney"

"Hello, Mrs.Mitchell"

"its a surprise to see you, come on in."

"thank you" I said, we walked into the living room. i put Ali down and she hugged
my leg.

"Sidney" her Dad said getting up.

"Mr. Mitchell"

"i'm here, to talk to you two, but I can I talk to you alone first"

"yes" her mom said

"sweetie" I said to Ali picking her up. "stay right here, i'll be right back."

"i'll be right back." I sat her on the couch.

Then me, her mom, and dad walked to the kitchen.

"Its really shocking to see you two here."

"I saw you at the store, and you were staring at her, and I know Kaylee would want

you to see her."

"it took you enough."

"whats that supposed to mean?"
"it means what I said it took you long enough."

I have a career, and rising her.

"there your thinking of yourself."

"i'm not thinking of myself." i said rasing my voice,

"yeah, right after what you did, you think you would bring our grandduaghter around."

"you blame me for Kaylee death"

"yes" her father said

"how can you blame me for that?"

"you were the one driving to car."

"you think i wanted that to happen." I yelled "there isn't a dday that goes by thgat
I don't wish it was me."

"If you knew what was best for Alison, you would have brought her to see her family.
her mom said"

"i know this was a bad idea."


"mom. dad. who the little girl in the living room." kaylee brother said.

"Sidney" he said "wait is that Alison in there?"

"yeah, and we were hust leaveing"

"Sidney, we're just you should have brought her around eariser." I turned around and

Ali was standing right behind me.

"Ali, come on, sweetie" I picked her up, and started walking out of the house. i
know I should have never came here.

"Sidney" her brother yelled, I kept walking. I got outside, went to the car.

"Sid"

I put Ali in her seat.

"daddy"

"hold on., sweetie"

"Sid man" I shut the door.

"what?" i asked

"I don't know what my parents said to you but I think its good. that you brough her

"thank you, we gotto get going."

"okay, maybe someday she'll know who I am."

sat there I hit the steering wheel.

"Damn it." I yelled, then I looked in the reaview nirror and I seen Ali with this
scared look on her face.

"i'm sorry, baby girl."
