Freddy’s POV

　

　

I walked back down stairs holding my daughter. Oh my God my daughter. I love the sound of that. I see Janet wipe a tear from her eyes. “My daughter wanted to know where her mother had run off to” I tell her.

She looks at me so torn up, my chest hurt. “Did anyone call the cops, so they can pick up this scum bag?” Mike asked.

“Yeah Sam did” Leo tells us.

“Well guess what guys? I just hired us another ranch hand. Seems Freddy’s going to work for us while he tries to win Janet back so he can marry her and give this little lady a proper family.” Mike tells everyone.

“Really” Luis glares at me.

“Hey cool it there, the guy didn’t know she had a baby till I spilled the beans at the baby shower.” Mike tells them.

Janet walked over to me and took the baby from my arms.

“Mike said he would go with me to see a specialist about my problem. He’s even willing to give you report on my progress. All I ask of you is for you to let me be around the baby and you.” I plead with her.

She looks at me and I could see she was struggling with herself. But then she looked at the baby and then she agreed. “Ok I guess the least we can do is give you a chance right Kate.” I swear my daughter looked at me and smiled.

I‘m going to need to go back to Austin tomorrow, the court date is in 2 days. Then I’ll go back to Chicago to let the other guys know what’s going on. I’ll get what I need form there. Tomorrow is Monday so if it’s ok with you Mike we can go find a place for me to get help and leave everything settled before I go.” I tell them and then I turn to look at Janet who’s now looking at me in disbelief.

“Would you go with me to Chicago? I would love for you to meet my friends. There the only family I have.” I tell her.

She turns to look at her cousins. Luis is still glaring at me but Mike and Leo and all the girls seem happy for us. “I think you should go Janet.” Leo tells her.

She then turns to me “Um ok Freddy I’ll go” she tells me and I lean in and kiss her. And then kiss the baby’s head.

The police arrive and we fill out the report and get things taken care of so I don’t have to go down to the station. Then when they leave Luis asked. “Where are you staying tonight?”

I looked at Janet. “I guess I can go find a hotel?” I tell her hopping she will ask me to stay.

“Well I don’t see why you can’t stay here, I have a spare bedroom and you can see the baby more.” She tells me and my heart starts to pound hard.

“Oh Hell no he’s not staying here!” Luis says all mad.

“Come on big boy looks like it’s bed time for you” Lucy tells Luis then she turns to me.

“Sorry seems like he had to much fun today, poor things over stimulated.” Luis glares at her.

“Janet’s been teaching you to much of this Early Childhood stuff.” Luis tells her.

They all come and kiss the baby and Janet goodnight.

“We’ll see you in the morning about 5:30am so I can start showing you what farm life is all about.” Mike smirks as he tells me.
