SAVANNAH'S P.O.V
"Mommy" my daughter yelled running into my arms, when I walked through my parents house after work
"Hey baby, I missed you" I said giving her a kiss on the head
"Missed you too, mommy"
"Sweetie, go ahead and pick up your toys I need to talk to Nanna for a minute" I tell her
After she ran to her toys, I walked into the kitchen and I see my mom doing her dinner dishes
"Hey, Mama" I greeted
"Hey sweetheart" She replied
"I have a favor to ask of you" I told her
She dried her hands and turned to face me
"I spoke with Grayson today and we made plans to meet up tomorrow night at seven to talk. Is it alright if I pick her up late? I don't want them to meet before I get a chance to tell him"
"Of course sweetie. Where are you meeting him at?"
"The park down the street. That way it's quiet and we can talk privately without going to each other places. I can't bring him to mine without him knowing about Aurora first anyways. As soon as you step in my place you see toys and pictures of her everywhere"
"You are doing the right thing. I know how hard it is for you to see him again after all these years. I'm proud of you"
"I know. I just hope he doesn't hate me for not finding a way to tell him, even though I tried for a year after I find out I was pregnant"
"I don't think that man could ever hate you, no matter how long its been. He knows in his heart that you would of tried to find him and the fact that you are letting him know he has a daughter within a few days of seeing him again shows him you wouldn't want to keep his daughter from him"
"Thanks mom for making me feel better about it"
"Anytime, Its what mommas do"

After Savannah dropped her daughter off to school the next morning, she made her way to work. Her nerves were on edge thinking about seeing Grayson that night and scared about telling him about Aurora.
What if he took her to court to try to get custody? Not that she truly thought he would ever do that to her, but alot can change in six years.
She try everything she could think of to contact him from the moment she found out she was pregnant until their daughter was almost one.
She didn't know what else she could of done. His phone was disconnected so she assumed he changed numbers, his email was no long active. She just figured he truly didn't want her anymore.
She knew Liam went with him, they stuck together no matter what. They were like brothers since they were kids. She left messages with him to get Grayson to contact her, but all he every sent back was texts telling me he was sorry and wish things were different. Once in awhile he would text me to let me know gray was OK. I stopped texting after a couple of months.
After parking in her parking space at work, she went up got herself a coffee and clocked in. She was happy she was able to avoid Landon that morning. She wasn't in the mood to deal with him.
She called Mr. Novak and set up the closing appointment on the beach house and made a few appointments for house viewings the next three days.
Now it was time to text Grayson to let him know.
After her text messages to Grayson where she shut him done as soon as the messages turn personal, she stood on shaky feet getting ready to grab her purse for lunch when Landon walked though her office door.
Great just what she needed
"To what do I owe this unwelcome visit?"
Landon just crossed his arms and smirked
"Just thought I'll come by so you can congratulate me"
"Congratulate you on what? The fact that you actually took my advice and wore clothes that actually matched"
His smirked just got wider
"No, the fact that tomorrow our boss is gonna hold a meeting to announce my new promotion"
"What promotion? I haven't heard anything and if it was true, why in hell would it go to you?"
"Simple because I'm the best realtor" He turned and walked out of the room laughing like an hyena
This has to be a joke. Is the universe out to get me
I walked out my office trying to hold back the tears and made my way to a coffee shop a few streets over
************************
Just get out of the car Savannah! Don't be a chicken
That's what I've been trying to tell myself the past twenty minutes. It's three minutes until seven. If I don't start walking toward the park bench I'm gonna be late and......
I didn't get to finish that thought cause the next thing I know I'm jumping at a knock on my car window.
Grayson....
I pull myself together the best I can and step out of my car. After it's locked I turned towards Grayson and freeze. He looks..... I shake my head of that thought. Nope not going there. Don't care how sexy he looks, he broke my damn heart and the only reason for this date no, not date this meeting is so I can tell him about our daughter cause they deserve to know each otherEven though all I wanted to do right right was run into his arms. I keeped my distance and with a small smile I said
"Hi, Grayson"
