Ainsley knew how she had been thinking about things. And how they were with Sam. She knew how he had asked her not to take Madison from him. But she just didn't know.

She knew how a lot had happened. But she knew that she wanted to do what was best for her daughter.

She knew that had needed a father in her life that was consistent. And she knew that with all that had happened lately, she knew that a war with Sam was the last thing that she wanted or needed.
        
Ainsley looked to see Madison as she walked into the room and smiled. "Hi baby. Are you okay? She asked as Madison hugged her. 
She smiled. "What was that for?"
 
"Because I love you," Madison said.

Ainsley looked to her daughter and smiled. "I love you too darling. I know how things are. And how it isn't easy. But it is going to be okay. I promise. I am going to make it work with your dad and that," she said as Madison smiled. 

Ainsley knew how she hadn't had an easy time of things. She knew Iain was the only one that she could count on with Angel. And she knew that he was going to be a great dad to his and Alexis baby.

Ainsley just felt as it was thing after another since she had lost Cal. She knew how none of it was easy.

But she knew how she had to stay strong through it.

Ainsley got to work. She saw Alexis. "Hey. How's you and baby doing?" She asked.

Alexis looked to her and sighed. "We're okay. I am just stressed. Jordan is back around. And she is playing mind games with Iain. She told him that she had his daughter. She won't let him see her. She won't show him any pictures. And I don't know. As crazy as it sounds, I don't think that there is a child."

Ainsley looked to her and frowned. She knew just what Jordan was capable of. And she knew Iain was better off with Alexis. 

"I believe you on that. It's the kind of thing that she would do. Look you're pregnant. And you don't need the stress. You and Iain are good together. Don't let it get to you. And if she's lying like she normally is, the truth will come out eventually. Don't worry," Ainsley said as Alexis looked to her and smiled.

Ainsley stood at the nurses station as she saw Sam. She looked to him. "Maddison has a dance class. And if you were serious about me not taking her away permanently, You will forget this job. Your job is to be her father right now. Turn up and watch her. Be a father. Take her out and spend some time with her. She needs you," Ainsley said. 

Sam looked to her and nodded. He knew how he had messed up being a father. "I won't let her down," he said as Ainsley looked to him.

But could she trust him to do the right thing?
