"I know that, Darnell" I say,calming down slightly "Then what's the problem?"

"Nerves. I know Tom wouldn't do that but the small chance that he would freaks me out"

"Z even though you've been gone for years Tom is still the same person. He could never hate you or his child"

I let out a sigh and run my hands through my hair "If you want, I can tell him for you"

"Please don't. He deserves to hear this from me"

"Fine. But if you change your mind I'm here"

"Thank You, Darnell"

He clasp his hands together "Let's change the topic. Where are you staying?"

"Well I actually stay close by. I stay in the apartments near Manhattan"

"Those apartments are so nice, I'll have to visit you sometime" "Yeah you will" I say

"Z how about me and Claire go with Ellie and get some food?" I nod my hand "I think that would be best"

"Claire!" Darnell calls "Yes?"

"We're going to go get Ellie some food" My mom walks out of the room. She stops walking when she sees Tom

"Oh. Hello, Tom" He puts his hands in his pocket "Hi, Claire"

My mom takes Ell from me and they leave

I stare down at my feet "So..." "Zendaya who is that?" I stare him in the eyes and say the words I've been afraid of saying for so long "That's my Daughter"

"How old is she?" I bite my lip "Shes four years old"

Tom think for a moment. Then realization hits "I-Is she mine" I nod "Yeah, she is"
