heard it often enough so she knew just what the woman thought of her. “I love you Honey. You are my world. I’m happy that I met your fathers because I was blessed with you, the most amazing and perfect daughter anyone could ever dream of.”
     
                  “Then why does your dad still hate you? He still spits our way when we happen to see him out.” The child asked.
     
                  “Because to him; my getting pregnant out of wedlock was too much. I refused to give you up and he refused to see it my way. I don’t care about him. I don’t care about anyone but you Honey. We are a team, remember? You and me till the end, right?”
     
                  “And am I going to end up like you mom? That’s what Margo Hughes keeps saying. That I will end up knocked up before I’m legal.”
                 
                  Rubbing her temples Daisy shook her head. “No baby you won’t. You won’t because you have me in your life. You’re a beautiful child and one day boys will beat down the door to see you, but you will have what I didn’t; a mother who loves her and will protect her. I would never say don’t have sex before you are married because, I’m not a total hypocrite like Mrs. Hughes. But I will always protect you baby girl; even from yourself.” She said with a smile. “Now. Enough of that. You have lessons, and then I need to get you home. Penny will be over to sit for you tonight while I take the night shift at the hospital.”
     
                  “I think that they are the ones missing out mom.” Honey said suddenly. “Your father and those two idiots who didn't see what a good catch you were. I love you mom, and thanks for coming for me.”
     
                  “I will always come for you baby. Always.” Daisy said with a smile and leaned over to kiss her daughter's cheek. Her heart was breaking, no it was torn and shredded, but seeing Mikhail and Gareth today had brought it all right back to the forefront and made her hurt all the more. “Now then, lets get you to Mrs. Webbers for your lessons and then home so that you can start cleaning all of the dishes for your punishment.” At Honey’s groan Daisy smiled, “Hey, you did something that scared the life out of me, you are totally being punished for it baby girl.” She said and signaled to pull back on the road and head back to Sweetwater.

    "She's living in Sweetwater," Anton said as he looked up from the computer he'd been working on for the past hour. "She owns a small property, works at the local hospital and her daughter is enrolled in the local elementary school. Never married and from what I can see of her financials, she doesn't date ever. Every penny she brings in is very carefully handled and either goes to the kid or to necessities."
     
    "Doesn't mean she doesn't date," Marius said looking over his shoulder.
     
    "No but this does," he pulled up another screen. "This guy Michael has been IM'ing her off and on for the last year. He asks her out and she says no, says she's not ready and so forth. Basically that is the cold hand of the brush off lads."
     
    "Sweetwater's only an hour away," Gareth murmured to Mikhail as they stood out of the way of the others who were tracking down Daisy and her daughter.
     
    Nodding he let out a breath, "She'll be on shift tonight which means we're not going to have a hell of a lot of a chance to talk to her. We need to get to her as she comes off shift. Get to her when she's tired and not thinking clearly."
     
    "We corner her and she'll run off," Gareth pointed out.
     
    "Yeah but we have to see her, if for no other reason than to return the diary that I'm pretty damned sure Honey wasn't supposed to be toting around," Mikhail looked at him. "We’ll leave early and get there well before her shift ends. We’ll take some of the lads and do a full recon to ensure she's actually there, and
