I rush around the kitchen trying to get everything ready for Lily.

"Mummy, mummy," Lily shrieks clinging to my leg.

"Lily, I'm really busy," I moan.

"But mummy," she whines.

"But nothing Lily. Now go give this to you grandma and be careful not to spill it," I say handing her my mother's cup of tea.

"Okay mummy," she says walking off holding the cup carefully.

The doorbell rings.

"Mum can you make sure Lily doesn't spill your tea?" I shout as I walk to the front door.

"Ouch!" Lily screams.

"Lily!" I yell opening the door.

The blonde boy standing there turns around.

"Lucus," I breathe.

"Who's Lily?" he asks.

"Mummy the tea's hot," my six year old moans clinging onto my leg.

"How old is she?" he asks.

"It's her sixth birthday," I answer.

"You lied to me," he says. "She's my daughter isn't she?" he asks.

"Lucus," I say.

"She is isn't she?!"

"Yes."

"Mummy who's this?" Lily asks.

"This is your dad."
