The Daddy Project || s.m

Aubrey

After I finished my shift, I went to Claire's house to pick up Ally.

Shawn was busy preparing for the proposal, so we took Ally to Claire's since I had work and couldn't take care of her.

I rang the bell. I heard Ally's screams from inside, "Daddy's here daddy's here!"

When Claire opened the door Ally ran into my arms.

"Wait your not daddy! You're Bree!" She squealed still hugging me.

"Ally was a very good girl today, right Al?" Claire said.

"Yeah, I guess." Ally shrugged.

"Good job, bud." I gave her a high five.

"Thanks for taking care of Ally, I'll see you sometime." I waved to Claire.

I buckled Ally to her car seat and drove home.

"Can I ask you a question?" Ally whispered.

"Okay."

"How many daddies do you have?"

"One, why?"

"Guess how many I have?"

"Um, one?"

"No, silly! I have two daddies!"

I literally almost crashed into the stop sign when she said that.

"What?!"

"Yeah! Daddy and this other tall man."

"What's the tall man's name?" I asked.

"I forget, guess what's my new favourite colour now!"

"Ally, maybe he's just your mommy's friend or a cousin."

"Whatever he is, I don't like him!" She crossed arms. "He was being a sore loser when I found him."

"Found him?"

"I found him hiding under the covers in mommy's room, and he started yelling at me!"

"Does your daddy know?" I asked.

"Which daddy?"

"Shawn."

"Mommy told me not to tell anyone, but I had tell you! You're my best friend!"

Shit, this can not be happening. Whats going to happen to the proposal? Most importantly, what's going to happen with Shawn and Claire?

But who's Ally's real dad?

-

I was pacing around my room thinking of what I was gonna do. Should I tell Shawn?

I would, but the proposals tomorrow, and he already prepared and I promised a three year old I wouldn't say anything. Shawn probably won't believe me anyways, like all the other times I told him that his girlfriend was sleeping next door with this kid we grew up with, but that's a different story, way before Claire.

There was a knock on the door, "Bree?"

"One second!"

I opened the door to see Gilinsky.

"Shawn said you were up here." He said. "Everything okay?"

I locked the door and we sat on my bed. I was debating whether or not I should tell him. I feel like I shouldn't, but I don't know what to do and it was killing me.

"TodayAllytoldmethatClaireischeatingonShawnwithanotherguy."

"What?"

"Today Ally-"

"No I actually got that, but really?"

"In the car she said that she found a guy hiding under Claire's covers."

"What if he was her cousin or a friend?"

"That what I said, but she also mentioned that she has two dads."

"What if Ally's making it up?"

"She's three all she does is tell the truth. She doesn't know what a lie is."

"Have you told Shawn?"

"No, and I don't know if I should."

"Well, you're screwed."

"Thanks, that really helps." I said sarcastically.

"You know what would be pretty badass?" He asked.

"What?"

"If we spy on her and find out who this mystery guy is."

"Then we can tell him!" I went to go high five him, but I ended up falling into his arms.

I awkwardly backed away, "But the proposals tomorrow."

"Then lets go now!" He grabbed my hand.
