[jessie]

Chapter 6

Melinda lifted Madison out of the highchair, and she hugged Melinda. They walked into the living room, and she put Madison down on the rug, she was playing with her dolly. Phillip sat beside, Melinda, and they watched Madison. She was hugging her Dolly, they both laugh when she scolded her for making a mess. " You made a mess Nicole, now you have to go to bed". Phillip laughed, " Madison, was Nicole bad".?

"Yes, she made a mess".

" Oh maybe she is sorry"?

"Yeah maybe", Madison hugged Nicole, she got up, walking over to Phillip, and Melinda. She handed Melinda the Dolly, and tried to get up between Phillip and Melinda. Phillip lifted her up, and she giggled, leaning into Phillip.

"OMG Phillip she really likes you".

"I like this angel, she reminds me of my Daughter when she was young".

"Mommy is this Daddy"?

Melinda was embarrassed, "No sweetie this isn't your Daddy, I'm so sorry Phillip".

"Why that was adorable, I wouldn't mind being her Daddy". Melinda was shocked she picked up Madison, and went to walk away. "Wait what is wrong Melinda"?

" You are just saying that to be polite, I know you are being so nice to us. I love helping you, but please don't lie about something that important".

" I didn't lie , I'm so lonely, she truly is adorable. I haven't really laughed, in months, but I can't stop smiling while, I'm around her. Please don't push me away, come back and sit down. Your Daughter likes me, and that is fine with me, please come back".

Melinda walked back, putting Madison down. She clapped her hands, Melinda and Phillip couldn't help but laugh. Phillip lifted Madison in his lap, and she snuggled, into him. Melinda saw him get emotional, she touched his shoulder, " what is wrong Phillip"?

"Me and my Daughter are close, but we never really talk anymore. I would love to go back in time, but I can't. Your Daughter, is bringing back memories, please don't leave here, I love having you both with me".

"I will stay but she is a handful, she is cute, but she is loud at times".

"I don't care, lets go out in the back, and get some air. She probably will be going down for bed soon".

"Yeah another 1/2hour, lets go out, she will like it". Melinda lifted her up, while helping Phillip. They walked outside, and Melinda was amazed, at his backyard. It was beautiful, and she laughed, seeing the baby swings. Madison saw them right away, and went crazy. Melinda put her down, and Madison was walking over to them. Phillip and Melinda followed her, as she grabbed the swing. "Up please". Melinda lifted her up, and put her in the swing. "Push Mommy Push". Melinda was pushing her lightly, while Phillip was pretending to grab her. Madison was laughing so hard, everyone was laughing. Madison screamed, "Faster Mommy, Please". Melinda pushed her, and yelled, "Phillip don't let the swing hit you". Melinda stood back, watching Phillip making Madison laugh harder, than she every heard her laugh before. She loved seeing her Daughter happy, and Phillip was amazing with her. Phillip looked over seeing Melinda, he walked over, hugging her. She touched his face, " thank you for being so wonderful Phillip". He brought his lips to hers, and whispered, " can we have some alone time, when she turns in".

" Well Phillip, what do you have in mind"?

" Oh, come to my room later and find out". He walked back to Madison, and Melinda got shivers . She really liked Phillip, but she couldn't take being hurt again. She smiled, she knew she would go to him, but she prayed, Phillip would be a permanent person in her life. She sure loved being with him, and seeing him with Madison, how he made her smile, she knew she was falling in love with Phillip, and she felt in her heart, he liked her to.

Chapter 7

Melinda picked up Madison, " Bed time for you Maddy".

"No, Ma Ma".

"Yes, we will come out tomorrow to play on the swings. It is late, little girls all over the world are sleeping".

Madison put her hands out to Phillip, " Phillip, no sleep". He smiled, "Oh Melinda, I feel horrible, 5 more minutes, she can run around".

"Phillip, you really are going to spoil my child".

"Look at that face, how can you resist"? Melinda looked at Madison, "You win 5 minutes only , ok".

"Ok Mommy". Melinda put her down, and she ran over to Phillip. He was playing with her, she was running and laughing. Melinda couldn't help but laugh, Phillip was adorable with her. Phillip sat on the ground, and Madison ran right into his arms. She hugged him so tight, Melinda walked over, "are you ok Phillip"?

"Yes, I'm not use to running around". Melinda whispered , "Sweetie, Phillip is tired, can we go in , and put your pajamas on. Phillip will come in and say goodnight, he promises".

"Phillip you can read me a story"?

"Ok deal, lets go in Maddy". Phillip got up, and Madison, held his hand, and they walked into the house. Melinda took Madison to her room, and changed her, and put her pajamas on. She was so excited, but Melinda knelt down. "Madison, you promise Mommy, once Phillip reads you the story bedtime for you".

"I said yes Mommy", Melinda laughed, as Phillip walked in wearing his Pajamas. He picked up Madison, putting her in the crib laying her down. He pulled a seat over, and he whispered, "Melinda go change see you in my room, in 1/2hour".

"I can't leave her".

"I will be fine, go Melinda, take a break". Melinda walked over to Madison, "Mommy loves you see you in the morning".

"Nght Mommy", She walked to the door, as Phillip started to read the story. Phillip got through the second page, he looked over Madison was already asleep. He walked over looking at her, she was so sweet, he whispered, "sleep tight Maddie". He walked out, going to his room, he hoped Melinda comes to him. He walked in, sitting on the bed, waiting for her.

Melinda got into her nightgown, and her housecoat. She brushed her hair putting it into a ponytail. She looked in the mirror, her stomach was jumping because of her nerves. She wasn't sure what was about to happen, but she was falling for Phillip. She walked to the door, and walked down the hall, checking on Madison first. She smiled, her baby girl was her joy, and she sure loved Phillip too. She walked out , going to Phillips door. She stood outside the door, almost turning back. She knocked and waited for Phillip to answer, he opened the door. He smiled, asking her to come in. She walked in, and he shut the door, moving over to her. He touched her face, and kissed her, he whispered, "spend the night with me Melinda"? She looked at him, not sure what to say or do?

[Sanda]

[jessie]

Chapter 8

Phillip brought his lips to Melinda, and whispered, "will you spend the night Melinda"?

"Yes", she blushed as he pulled her real close. He cupped her face in his hands as he kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him, he felt so good in her arms. She touched his face, and brought her lips to his, and they kissed so passionately. They slowly undressed each other. He laid her on the bed, as he got protection, and slipped it on. Phillip never felt such driving need, such pulsing hunger. It took all that was in him to keep hold of some remnant of control. Melinda eyes, widened as he stood over her, and he moved down feathering her with kisses, down her body. The desire for Phillip was so urgent she cried out his name. He looked at her face, Melinda opened her legs as Phillip moved between them. He bent over kissing her , his mouth consuming her as he slowly entered her . Melinda was feeling so many sensations, excitement and a overwhelming desire. Phillip began to move within her, and Melinda gasped with pleasure, and a shock of fulfillment. Melinda arched in the pleasure of the rhythm, the heightening desire that ran through her. She came to her release as he came to his. Phillip held her close not wanting to let this moment go, she never felt so fulfilled, and completely loved. They both laid in each others arms, both not speaking their touch was saying everything. Phillip touched her face, "you are ok Melinda"?

"Yes, Phillip that was beautiful". He smiled, "No Melinda you are beautiful". They both laid just talking, and fell asleep in each others arms. Melinda woke up, not seeing Phillip she sat up. She grabbed her housecoat putting it on. She looked in the bathroom, and noticed he wasn't there. She walked out of the room, and was about to go downstairs. She noticed Madison's light was on. She walked in seeing Phillip holding Madison in the rocking chair. They both were asleep. Melinda walked over lifting Madison out of Phillip's arms, holding her for a moment, than she laid her in the crib. She walked over, touching Phillips shoulder.

'What where is Madison"?

"In bed, did she wake you"?

"Yes, she was crying she went to sleep after I rocked her. I fell asleep to, I'm so sorry Melinda'

"You really are great with her Phillip, she likes you"

"I like her too, she reminds me of my daughter".

"She is special, but you better get some sleep Phillip. She gets up mighty early, and you will be tired". He smiled, "you will spend the night with me right"?

"What do you think, after what just happened between us"? Phillip smiled, "Don't ever leave me Melinda, I love having you in my life".

"I love being here too, lets go to bed". They walked out , and went to Phillips room.

Chapter 9

Melinda and Phillip were awoken to Madison yelling, "Ma Ma". Melinda jumped up, and Phillip smiled, "Oh we were so tired last night we didn't get our PJ's on".

"Stop I have to get to Madison, she must be hungry". Melinda walked to the door, "You did tire me out Phillip, you are amazing". He smiled as she ran to the Nursery where Madison was.

"Ma Ma". Melinda walked over, "Hey you making all this noise, did you miss me"?

"Yes", Madison hugged her, and Melinda held her in her arms, for a while. "I will change you, than we can have breakfast".

"Lucky Charms Ma Ma"

"Oh the same thing every day Sweetie"

"Yeah I like them". Melinda smiled, "Well that is what is important". She changed her, and Madison smiled, "Where Phillip"?

"In bed he will come to breakfast too". Madison ran but Melinda ran after her, she didn't know if Phillip was dressed or not. Madison ran into the room, Phillip was up but he was buttoning up his shirt. Madison ran over hugging his legs, "I missed you Phillip".

He lifted her up, "Well I was right in here, but I missed you too"

"Can we play again I like the swings"?

"Sure we can how about we go to the park would you like that"?

"Yes the Park Mommy".

Melinda smiled, 'After breakfast lets go down and eat. Phillip put Madison down, she grabbed his hand, and was pulling him toward the door. Melinda followed, she laughed Madison was really loving it here. She hated that she didn't have her Father around, and seeing her with Phillip made her happy. They got in the kitchen Phillip put Madison in her booster seat. "What would you like Sweetie"?

"Lucky charms please"

Phillip looked at Melinda, "Oh God I don't have Lucky Charms"

Melinda couldn't believe she didn't think of that. "Sweetie we will buy some today, but how about Special K"?

"No Mommy". Her little lip started to quiver, and Phillip's heartbroke, he grabbed his car keys, "I will be right back". He ran out to the car, and was off to the grocery store. Melinda walked to the cupboard, and got her bowl down, and she poured her a cup of Juice.

"Mommy"

"Yes Madison"?

"Is Phillip my Daddy"?

"No Sweetie he isn't your Daddy"?

"Can he be"?

"Well I don't know but maybe someday if we both are really lucky"

"I will be a good girl , I promise". Melinda almost cried, she was blessed with Madison she was so sweet, and so innocent.

"Well Phillip loves you he ran out at 7am to get your cereal".

"I needed it that is why"

"Yes you did, I think I should make a list of everything we will need here"

"Ice cream, pudding, and Jello remember that"

Melinda laughed, "Yes I remember sweetie". Madison smiled as Melinda started making bacon and eggs for Phillip.

Phillip ran in with a couple of bags putting them on the counter. "We better go shopping later, I want everything she needs in the house". Melinda walked over, "3 boxes Phillip she won't go thought all these"

"She will since she will be here for awhile"

"Really I was only going to stay until you felt better"

"I will be heartbroken if you leave me now. I love having you, and Maddy here"

"Maddy I never call her that"

"My nickname for our little Angel". Phillip walked over, "Hey would you mind me calling you Maddy"?

"No but can I have my lucky charms I'm real hungry". Phillip smiled, "Sure Sweetie". Melinda brought them over kissing Madison on the forehead, "Sorry Sweetie, eat up"

"Just a little bit of milk, I don't like them mushy"

"Ok". Phillip sat down, Madison was eating, he felt tears come to his eyes. She was making him remember when Lizzie was young. He missed those times, he smiled as Melinda walked over bringing their bacon , and eggs. Phillip smiled, "Thanks Mom"

Madison laughed, "She isn't your Mommy Silly"

"I know but I sure love having you both here, do you love living here with me"?

"Yes, can you be my Daddy"? Melinda almost choked on her eggs, but Phillip smiled, "Oh I would love that sweetie".

Madison smiled, "See Mom he wants to". She continued eating making Melinda, and Phillip stare at each other.

"I'm so sorry Phillip she doesn't know what she is saying"?

"Yes she does, and don't say sorry, I think it would be real cool to be her Daddy, but you know what that means"?

Melinda got up, "I think this is getting kind of weird, maybe me and Madison should go home"

Philip jumped up, "No please, I won't bring it up if it makes you uncomfortable"

"It doesn't but I don't want her hopes up she is a baby"

"Melinda we just met but I would marry you today if you said yes". Melinda turned she started to cry, Madison was looking at her.

"Mommy are you crying"?

"No Phillip watch her for a moment". Melinda ran out of the room, making Phillip yell out her name. Madison started to cry, "My Mommy is sad, why"? He lifted her up, "I'm so sorry, it is my fault baby".

"I want my Mommy". Phillip walked upstairs carrying Madison who was crying in his arms. He walked to his room seeing Melinda laying on the bed. He walked over putting Madison beside her, and whispered, "Forgive me Melinda". He turned walking away, but Melinda screamed, "No don't go Phillip". He turned, and ran over hugging both Madison, and Melinda.

[melindajo2000]

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I hope that Melinda doesn't get scared off.

[jessie]

Chapter 11

Phillip looked in Melinda's eyes, "I'm so sorry if I freaked you out downstairs. I have not been this happy in years, having you, and Maddie here makes me so happy"

"I love being here but I'm so scared I will lose you, and she will be hurt"

"I wouldn't hurt you, I promise you"

Melinda smiled as Madison whispered, "Ma Ma kiss him"

"What young lady"?

Phillip touched Melinda's cheek, and brought his lips over hers ever so lightly. Madison smiled as Phillip turned lifting her up, and hugging her.

"Ma Ma can we go to the beach"?

Melinda had tears in her eyes, she could see Madison loved Phillip already. She touched her daughters face, "Sure Sweetie". Madison smiled almost jumping into Melinda's arms. Phillip whispered, "I promise you , I will never hurt you, or this sweet child"

"I hope not". Phillip lifted Madison up, "Well Madison, we are going to the beach, maybe you need to get your swimsuit on"

Melinda got up, "I will get her ready, meet you downstairs". She walked out going to Madison's room, changing her, and packing a small bag for her. She put her bathing suit on under her shorts. She packed some diapers, and a sunscreen, and extra t-shirt and pants. She went to her room, putting her swimsuit on under her shorts. She walked downstairs, Phillip had a cooler with drinks, and some snacks. He said they could eat at the beach there was a little diner there. Phillip , Melinda and Maddy left getting in Phillips car. They put Madison in the car seat, Phillip smiled, "You ok having the top down or is it to much for her"?

"She will love it , I'm sure"

Phillip drove off, Madison smiled, she has never been a car with the roof down. She laughed when Melinda's hair was blowing all over the place. She pulled her hat off but it blew away. Madison yelled, "Ma Ma my hat". They were on the highway, Phillip said he would buy her one at the beach, they couldn't stop to get it. Maddy was laughing she hated hats, but Melinda always made her wear one. They got to the beach, the first thing Melinda did was get a new hat for Madison. She didn't mind because Phillip bought himself and Melinda one two. They were walking down the beach Madison was pointing, at all the other kids. She was so happy, so was Melinda. Phillip was never more happy, he felt like he might finally have the life he always wanted. He wanted to settle down, and have children. He had kids, but they were not living with him, they were with their Mother's. He would love to have a child with Melinda but he wouldn't bring that up yet. He held Melinda's hand, and he pointed to a empty spot. He held Madison as Melinda put the blanket down, he put the cooler down, and he sat Maddy on the blanket. She was up in seconds, she pointed to the water.

Phillip smiled, "I will take her in, you wait here". Melinda took Madison's shorts off, but kept her t- shirt on. She put sunscreen on her, but Maddy made a fuss. It was Phillip that got her to stop, because he let Melinda put sunscreen on him too. Phillip picked her up, and walked over to the water. He let her feel she giggled she didn't think it was to cold. She was jumping splashing Phillip. Melinda smiled watching her, she was a little character but she was precious, and so sweet. Phillip waved as Melinda waved back. Maddy kept splashing, Phillip was splashing back, Melinda laughed he was so good with her little girl. She was scared but she knew he was the one she has been waiting so long for. She knew if she pushed him away she would regret it, because she has been on many dates, but none of the men treated her Daughter so amazing, you would think she was his. Melinda was daydreaming, she thought it would be perfect if Phillip adopted Maddy as his, than she knew her little girl wouldn't feel left out when she got older. She deserved to be happy, and looking at Phillip this moment, she knew he would be a perfect husband, and a even better Father for her little girl.
