"Mommy what are we gonna have for dinner" Cierra asked as she ran down the stairs.

"Grilled cheese and broccoli!" I replied.

"Ewww broccoli, I don't want broccoli" Cierra whined.

"Cici baby, you know you need to eat your vegetables. Now go wash your hands for dinner" I replied.

Cierra grunted as she stomped her way into the bathroom.

Cierra is my strong little girl. I had her when I was 21. Now 4 years later I'm 25 and Cierra is turning 4 in a couple of weeks. She is my everything. My heart, my soul, my everything. I just wish her father felt the same way about her as i did. Her fathers name is Casey Compton.

He worked at the local coffee shop in town. He caught my eye the minute I walked through the door. But apparently he didn't even noticed me. I ordered a mocha cookie crumble frappe. As he was handing me my frappe i couldn't stop staring at his beautiful hazel eyes. I guess i needed to pay attention to where my hand was because I ended up knocking my frappe over causing it to spill all over my jeans.

I was mortified. I quickly apologized and tried to clean it up. Casey came around the counter with napkins.

"It's fine, this sort of thing happens all the time." Casey said.

"Really? Clumsy girls creepily staring into your eyes then knocking frappes all over the place? How eventful" I said.

"Yes all the time. Except usually the girls aren't as pretty as you" he said charmingly.

"I'm Casey"

"I'm Jessica... but most people call me Jess" I said as I blushed.

"Well Jessica how about we go out sometime?"

"Umm yeah sure. Heres my number" I said as I wrote it down on one of the napkins. He began to write down his number on another napkin. Then we exchanged napkins.

"Alright well see you soon, thanks for the frappe, or whats left of it" I said

"Haha, no problem beautiful" he replied.

And the rest was history. We went on our first and second and third and fourth and fifth date still madly in love with each other. Then we had a little unprotected fun one night, next thing you know poof, I'm pregnant. I didn't know exactly how to tell Casey, but I knew I had to. We went out to eat one night and i broke the news to him that we were expecting. He was shocked at first, but he was so happy that we were having a baby. When we got home we cuddled all night until we both fell asleep.

The next morning all of his stuff was gone. There was nothing of his left. Nothing Not even a note explaining himself. I was so confused as to why he left me and I cried every night for a good two months. But I knew that I was going to have a beautiful little girl in a couple of months and i needed to start taking care of myself so i can take care of my baby and watch her grow up into a beautiful girl.

As I was setting up the table for us to eat, i could hear Cierra singing this new song she learned at day care today while washing her hands. Shes been singing it all day.

"Alright CiCi hurry up in there, your food is getting cold"

"I'm almost done" she shouted. She quickly ran into the kitchen ready to eat. We said our prayers and started eating. It was getting late so after dinner I carried her to bed and tucked her in. As I was cleaning up dinner my phone rang. But, it was from a blocked number. I answered it anyway.

"Hello?" I said

"Hey Jess" he said

"C-C-Casey?" I stuttered in confusion.
