Marshall's POV

"A kid?" I interrupted Paul. "Slow down a second. Like an actual human child? She's mine? How?"

"I think you know how Marshall, you're 45. Look, I know it's a lot to take in, a child you didn't know existed but she's yours, I had the paperwork she sent checked and verified."

"How ol-old is she?" I stuttered out, still in disbelief.

"15 she was born October 16th 2002 a day before your 30th."

"Wait so when was she, um -"

"Concieved?" Paul interjected. "Around mid January 2002. Paperwork says her mother's called Paige Gibbs. You got any memory or idea who she is?"

"Um, yeah. It was right after me and Kim divorced and I found out Whit wasn't mine. Paige was like a rebound kind of thing. She got too clingy and with all the stress of 8 Mile I called it off right around the time Whitney was born. I never knew she was pregnant, I swear to God Paul, I never knew."

"I know, I know you'd never have left if you knew she was pregnant but you didn't know, don't beat yourself up."

"You said she lives in England right?"

"Yeah, lived there since she was a baby."

"Get the jet ready. We're going to England. I have to at least talk to her, give her a reason, my side of the story."

"Alright, I get your point. Be at the airport in an hour."

"Thanks man." I said as I hung up the phone.

Still in shock I headed to my closet to pack clothes, I figured I should call Hailie so her and her sisters at least know where I am.

Dialling her number as I continue to pack, she picks up after the 3rd ring.

"Hey dad, you okay?"

"Not really baby. How are you?"

"What's wrong, you need me to come over? I'm good, thanks dad."

"No, it's fine. Thanks though Hai. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to England, just wanted to make sure you and your sisters knew before I left."

"Oh okay, you never mentioned a trip to England. When's your flight?"

"An hour. It's a very last minute trip."

"Any reason? Please tell me you're working with Ed Sheeran again." Hailie said eagerly.

I let out a chuckle, feeling my nerves ease just by talking to one of my babies. "No, nothing to do with Ed. Um, lets just say you guys have another sister."

"What? Why'd you never tell us? How old is she?"

"Same age as Whit, 15 and I never told you 'cause I never knew. I'm gonna meet her."

"Omg, good luck. Can I tell Lainey and Whit? Let me know how it goes. Love you daddy, let me know you land safely."

"Yes, you can. I will call and thank you baby, love you too."

This was going to be the longest flight ever...

A/N - just a small bonus chapter of Marshall's reaction. The next chapter will be in Jess's POV and the two of them will meet. How will Jess react to Marshall flying out to meet her?

I will also dedicate a chapter to Marshall's reaction of them meeting.

As always, any feedback or suggestions are welcome.
