Sarah took her bath and had dinner. Afterwards, she went to bed. In the morning, Vlad, who had slept in Jazz's old room, woke her up.

"Darlene Elizabeth, it's time for you to get up and get dressed."

Sarah woke up with a scowl on her face, but got up none the less. She went to her bigger bag,

opened it, and pulled out her deodorant, some shorts, and a shirt. She also pulled out her brush.

She put her stuffed animal in and got dressed. She had put her personal hygiene supplies in the

bigger bag after her bath. She saw that her Disc man and CDs were in her smaller bag. She

brushed her hair and sent a message to Danny.

"Vlad, you have a lot to learn about girls." Maddie said. "You can't just go around throwing her

door open."

Vlad smiled at Maddie. She looks even better in her nightgown, he thought.

"I'm sorry, Madeline. Did we wake you?"

"Danny did. He told us..."

"He told us you were taking our little girl away before we were even awake to say good bye to

her." Jack finished. Sarah jumped off her bed and ran to him. She threw her arms around his

waist. "Don't let him take me." she whispered. Jack knelt and hugged his youngest, whom he had no claim to.

"I have to, sweetie. He IS your biological father, and he could sue us for custody."
