Left behind

Chapter 18

Olivia's POV

"Mike it's not a good idea for you to be here." I said speaking in a low tone.

"I know we're divorced and everything but I'm not gonna just act like I didn't raise Maddison." He told me.

"It's nothing like that it's just." I trailed off not knowing how to tell him.

"It's what?"

"Her father is here." I said looking down at our feet.

"What are--wait...so your telling me that the bastard that left you pregnant is here right now?" He asked pointing at my house

"Yes." I nodded

"What changed his mind?" He asked

"We work together now." I said

"Wow. So are you going to let me in or?" He said

"Come in." I told him rolling my eyes

"Maddie!" I yelled as me and Mark walked in the living room

"Ye-Dadd-Mark!" She yelled and ran towards us

"Hi pumpkin." He said giving me the present and grabbing Maddison and swinging her around.

"How you been?" He asked

"Daddy came back!" She told him jumping up and down in his arms

"Really!?" He asked acting like he doesn't know

"Yup! And he's here." She said looking for him.

She saw him giving Richard a piece of candy on the other side of the house.

"Daddy!" She called out and Elliot automatically looked up at her.

He said something to Richard and started to walk towards us.

"Yeah baby?" He asked a little confused

"This is Mark. He was my daddy first then mommy and Mark didn't like each other no more. So mommy said that's not daddy." She explained but not quite right.

The reason we got divorced wasn't because we didn't like each other. It was actually the opposite, he always had to go on business trips and it bothered me that's he was always away and barely home. We met when Maddison was only a few months, during a walk in the park. He almost crashed into me and Maddison when I was pushing her stroller and he was riding a bike. He stopped and made sure we we're both ok.

"Oh. I thought you raised her on your own." He asked me

"I did for the first 3 months but after that no." I shrugged

"Is there a problem that I raised her?" Mark asked him.

I took Maddison from Mark and told her to go play just in case.

"No. Why should I, you was just playing dad for a while." He told him

Mark quickly got in his face.

"What the hell did you just say to me?" Mark threatened as he chest was pressing against Elliot's.

"Mark." I said in a low tone.

He looked at me and I nodded towards Maddison, who wasn't even paying attention.

He looked at Maddison then to Elliot and slowly backed up and started walking towards the door. Before he was able to leave Elliot made him stop.

"Liv I can't believe you let him around my daughter." He told me.

Mark ran to him and punched him in the face, I screamed and grabbed Mark.

"Prick." Mark said and walked out the door.

I looked at Elliot who was going into the bathroom holding his nose. Then I looked at everyone else and saw Maddison.

"Baby." I whispered

She ignored me and ran up the stairs.

"The party's over." I said and also ran up the stairs.
