"James... I'm pregnant." Maddison said through tears.

James shook his head in denial. He ran his hands through his dark brown hair. "No. That's not possible. The doctors said you couldn't have anymore kids."

"Well, it happened." Maddison told him. "I took a bunch of tests just to be sure. All but one came out positive."

"You're lying." James stood from the couch. "You can't have kids! We can't have kids! We already have two and can barely support them!"

Liam and I stood by the living room doorway watching our parents argue. I didn't understand why dad was getting mad. I was going to run in and hug them when mom said she was pregnant. But Liam stopped me.

Maddison looked up at her husband. "Maybe you can find a job."

"Why? Your two jobs can't afford another child?" James questioned.

Maddison stood. "No it doesn't."

"Then you should have thought of that before getting pregnant!" James exclaimed loudly.

"It takes two people to make a child James!" Maddison exclaimed with the same tone. James drew his hand back and slapped Maddison across the face.

"Mom!" I exclaimed and ran over. "Daddy, why did you hit mom?"

Maddison looked at Liam as she held her cheek. "Liam, why don't you take Andy to the frozen yogurt place down the street."

Liam nodded, "come on Andy."

"But-"

Dad towered over me. "Listen to your mother." Liam grabbed my hand and lead me out of the living room.

.

"Daddy, where are you going?" I asked as I watched him stuff his things into a bag. He ignored me. "Daddy." He continued to pack his things. "Daddy."

"What?!" His voice boomed.

I stepped back, "w-where are you going?"

"I'm leaving." He growled. "Now get out of my way." I took another step back. He had never talked to me like that.

"Why?" I asked him.

Dad stopped packing and turned to me. A cold laugh escaped his lips. "Because I don't love you."

I frowned, "b-but-"

"B-but-" Dad mocked me. He went back to packing his things. "I'm done with this stupid family." He grabbed his bag and stood in front of me. "That baby your dumb mother has isn't mine."

"Please don't go, Daddy." Hot tears began to stream down my face.

"Please don't go, Daddy." Dad mocked me again. He pushed passed me causing me to fall to the ground.

"Dad." I scrambled up and ran after him. "Please don't go. We need you." I grabbed his arm.

Dad shoved me away causing me to fall to the ground again, but this time I fell harder. My head bounced on the wooden floor causing me to cry out in pain. "I don't want you." Dad hissed.

.

"Dad!" I squealed happily as I ran into his arms.

Dad kissed my head, "how's my baby girl?"

"Good! Me, Abby and Emily made cookies!" I grinned at him when we pulled apart. I pulled him to the kitchen.

"Hi honey." Dad kissed Lindsey hello.
