shaken by what happened last night, Anne stretched, smiling enjoying the fact that she was totally in love with this man, and finally accepting she probably always be. At that split second of that perfect morning, she realized she really didn’t care if he was a player since he will always mean very much to her.
    She got out of bed and walked into the living room. Anne kept quiet, standing at the door, looking at Grace and Max together. Max was making her breakfast and they were talking and laughing together.
    “My family.” – Anne thought, realizing she had to come clean. There was no point in hiding anymore.
    “Mom, mom look what Max made me!” – Grace yelled, running towards her mom showing her a plate of a heart-shaped pancake.
    “That looks delicious! Can I have pancakes too?”
    Max turned around looking at her: “Pancakes for everyone today!”
    They sat at the small table, eating and laughing. Anne was taken aback by how good Grace and Max were together. At that second, she really was happy.
    “I have to go to work. Max, don’t you have anything to do today?”
    “Well, if you don’t mind, I was thinking I can hang out with Grace here…”
    “Oh yes, yes, yes please mommy! Can he?”
    Anne smiled: “Sure you can. The rehearsal is tonight. Don’t you have to help them?”
    “Not really. Everything of mine is done. We’ll see you later tonight then?”
    “Okay.” – Anne kissed him and left to go to work.
    That day was the easiest working day ever. She was sure the night before had something to do with it as she had this huge smile on her face, as if she slept with a hanger in her mouth. Everyone noticed her good spirits and she told them she was happy for her friend Sophie’s wedding. No one here needed to know what actually happened.
    She took off a couple of hours early so she can get home on time and prepare for the rehearsal dinner. She got home only to see the living room flooded in gifts and teddy bears and a box of cake.
    “Did you guys have cake for lunch?” – She asked, looking at both Max and Grace. Both of them had guilt on their face: “Just once mommy. Don’t be mad.”
    Anne laughed: “I’m not mad, baby. Just don’t get used to it.”
    “Maybe she should get used to it.” – Max said, stepping up and hugging Anne.
    Anne knew exactly what he was saying but she couldn’t believe her ears: “Maybe she should.” – She whispered in his ear: “Now, let me go and get ready. Max, where is your suit?”
    “I had it delivered here. It’s in the bedroom.”
    She went in to the shower, put her makeup on and got dressed. The dress was black, long and backless and it suited her tiny frame perfectly. She stepped out and saw him, the ever looking prince charming.
    “You take my breath away.” – She said, without realizing she actually said it out loud. He laughed: “I was just thinking that.”
    “Did Stacey get here?”
    “Yes, Grace and Stacey are both in the bedroom. Grace is an amazing child, Anne. I don’t care whose she is. I just want to be with you.” – Max said, coming towards her and grabbing her hands.
    “She is. Especially since she is yours.” – Anne whispered.
    Max stood there, taken aback by her words. He gave it a couple of minutes for it to sink in. “Why did you lie to me?”
    “I… I was scared Max…I…”
    “You thought I wasn’t an adult enough? You thought I don’t deserve her? Who gave you the right…”
    “Max, don’t yell, please. I am sorry.”
    “Sorry doesn’t cut it Anne! You were hiding from me that I had a child! Who are you?”
    “Look Max, it’s not how it seems. I was only trying to protect her. What if you didn’t want her, what if you didn’t want any of this? I had to think of her…”
    “No Anne you were only thinking about yourself! I can’t believe you are this selfish! Three whole years Anne! Three whole years that I’ve lost from my daughter’s life and I’ll never get them back! How dare
