I spent the weekend calling Travis, cleaning up my apartment and making up for last week with Abby. I felt like she had already grown so much in the week I had been gone and God how I missed her cute little baby face.

Sunday was family day for us. Well usually but today my mom had been too busy with her work to be able to take the day off so Abby and I were off to go to the park and spend some time playing in the snow.

I had put her in a puffy snowsuit, in waterproof pants and Travis skiing jacket myself as we rolled through the glistening snow, Abby had fun trying to eat the snow while I tried to hold her back since she would whine whenever she felt the frozen water on her mouth but she had loads of fun still.

Abby giggled and reached out to the snow again when we sat down on the ground, she sat between my legs and we had begun to build a snowman or well snowperson together, giggled surpassing her lips.

I smiled and leant down to place a gently kiss on my daughters little blonde curls. "Mommy loves you so much pretty girl; you don't even know it. And soon you'll turn one and then mommy and nana and mommy's friend are going to celebrate your birthday with you"

Abby looked up to me with her and well my big blue eyes and gave me a wide grin. I knew she didn't understand everything i said but i was sure she got more than i would think. She was a bright child, had started babbling at just 6 months and had said her first word, obviously mommy at 7.

Since then, she had improved further and further and seemed to learn a new word every other day. He latest had been "awwle" which she had squealed while pointing to a piece of apple I had cut up for her.

I was so proud of my little girl and even thought i knew exactly how hard some of the nights had been, figuring out how to change diapers, forcing myself to eat just so i could breastfeed her properly and giving up on loads of sleep but God it was so incredibly worth it.

Abby turned back around mashing the snow with her two little hands while my phone started to ring. I frowned and pulled it out of my pocket, secretly hoping it would be Travis.

He had been calling me so often the past days, sometimes just to quickly tell me he loved me and sometimes to ask about my day. God the grip this man had on my heart was incredible.

I fell asleep on facetime the last night since the both of us had struggled with sleeping apart and woke up with a loving paragraph since he had to get up for practice but didn't want to wake me.

My screen showed an unknown number, which usually meant a student or a parent had some sort of question pertaining to studying for the next exam or something but God it was only 2 days into the break.

"Baby, mommy has to answer the phone but i will try to be quick, no going too far away okay my love?" I asked stroking over her blonde hair once more

"Otay" she responded licking some snow he held in her little gloved hand before making that look again. Sometimes learning is a very... slow process.

A bit annoyed but trying my best to sound friendly when I picked up the call. "This is Taylor Swift speaking, what can I help you with"

There was a moment of silence before the person on the other end of the line started to talk, and God the blood froze in my veins. For a moment everything went silent and it felt like someone had wrapped my head in cotton, the noises muted for the blink of an eye before his voice snapped me back into reality.

"And they say the effect someone you love has on you dies with time. God, we haven't talked in what feels like forever, how have you been Babe?" I could feel the colour drain from my face, while he just laughed.

"W-Who's there?" I mumbled already knowing the answer I would get all too well. How could I forget his voice, his whole demeanour, that nickname.

"It's your boyfriend, Lucas, common don't act like you don't remember me Babe" he laughed again and God, all I wanted to do was hang up immediately. I didn't need him and neither did Abby.

"You're not my boyfriend anymore Lucas, you ran away" I managed to press past my lips, feeling angry tears start to make their way into my tear ducts.

"Oh, common we both know what we had was too special to just throw away. And i know the events before I left were... unfortunate to say the least but now I'm in college and we've grown up so much but of us, right?"

Honestly, I wanted to cry and throw my phone away so badly, or call Travis immediately so he could go and beat up Lucas but I somehow managed to respond without showing how shaky my voice was.

"What do you want, Lucas" I sighed and looked back down at my little girl. I was so thankful she didn't look anything like him. Not because he was ugly but because that way i was able to forget about him blissfully easy and ignore the fact that even if I played the single mom, I sadly wasn't her only parent.

"I wanna visit you dumb dumb, I'll drive up to Harvard and we can spend some time together, I'm on winter break now so we have all the time in the world to talk and get to know each other again and we can even go to my uncles' cabin and you know... Share a bed when the heater breaks again."

I cringed at th image he was painting. I didn't want to spend time in a cabin with anyone but Travis and based on his prior performances he would be more than a disappointment compared to the football player.

I only wanted to be in a cabin with the man i loved and maybe, maybe with Abby and the possibility of other kids too just cuddling up together like a real family. Me in his arms and the kids cuddled up with us.

I sighed again before answering running my hand over Abbys little head. "I'm not in college Lucas. I didn't leave okay so you can leave me alone. You have no business trying to get with me again after what you did to me. I moved on a long time ago, as soon as you left me when I told you I was pregnant so don't expect me to take you back. We are never ever getting back together and I'm with someone that loves me now. So, leave me the fuck alone."

There was silence for one second before he spoke again. "Oh, common no reason to be embarrassed you always had to study so much for grades, it's no wonder that you couldn't stay in college but I'll still take you back, don't be bitter because of that little abortion and-"

He was interrupted when Abby looked up to me again, her lips trembling as snow dripped out of her little mouth, tears welling up in her big round eyes. "Mommy! Mommy!" she cried and reached for me as i hung up immediately stuffing my phone away and scooped her up, holding her against my chest as i rocked her gently whipping the snow away.

"it's okay sweet girl mommy's got you, it's just snow baby, you're safe" I cooed and started to walk away, back to our little home. Mommy got her. We didn't need her father; we didn't need anything from him but to leave us alone.

I could care for her perfectly good by my own and maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have to now. I had travis and i knew she wasn't his in any shape or form and he had no responsibility towards her even if I was carrying his child beneath my heart but I also knew he's step up.

He'd be there for the little girl without a dad, he would take care of us and love us even if Lukas didn't. I couldn't tell him about the call. I couldn't tell anyone. Now all left to do was prey and hope he would leave me and Abby alone from now on.

He may have heard her but he freaked just knowing i was pregnant so a child would just scare him away further, right?
