Mitchie finally convinced Sarah to take her afternoon nap, which took a lot longer than usual. She made a mental note to have a talk with Alex later that evening. Sarah had Alex wrapped around her finger and Alex basically let her get away with murder. Consequently, Sarah was becoming whinier and often threw a fit when Mitchie asked her to do something. She loved that Alex was such a devoted parent, but she didn’t want Sarah to be spoiled.
She headed downstairs and into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Mitchie sang and danced around the kitchen as she chopped vegetables and stirred the pots on the stove. Mitchie stopped dancing as she heard the doorbell ring and rushed out of the kitchen hoping that it might be Tawny and Brad. She opened the door with her signature grin, which immediately dropped off her face.
“Hey Mitchie. It’s been a while and I swear that every time that we run into each other you look even better,” said Shane with a smirk as his eyes roamed up and down Mitchie’s body.
“What are you doing here? How did you find out where I live?” demanded Mitchie angrily.
Shane pushed his way into the house. “Well, the other day I was flipping through radio stations and was pleasantly surprised when I heard your angelic voice. I’m so proud of you. I decided to look you up and congratulate you in person. Being a rock star has its perks. I easily got your address from Ace,” revealed Shane as he dropped down on the couch and rested his feet on the coffee table.
Mitchie closed the door and faced Shane. “Ace did not give you my address. He knows about our situation and we made it clear that I would not appear at any event in which you were scheduled to show,” countered Mitchie.
Shane laughed. “Fine, fine, I might have promised his secretary a date in exchange for that small piece of information,” he confessed as he looked around. “How did you pay for a place like this Mitchie? Didn’t you just get signed?” questioned Shane with a raised eyebrow. “Where’s my kid?” he asked as he didn’t see the little brat anywhere.
“Your kid? Your kid? You don’t have a kid! You told me to get rid of her!” screamed Mitchie. “She’s mine and Lexy’s daughter, not yours!” stated Mitchie angrily. “You never even bothered to find out what I had!” screamed Mitchie.
Shane jumped up with a scowl. “Lexy? I thought the dyke had dumped you when you got pregnant,” screamed Shane.
Mitchie’s eyes widened. “How the fuck did you know that Lexy and I were together when I got pregnant? I told you she was my roommate not that she was my girlfriend?” questioned a confused Mitchie.
Shane chuckled. “I know everything about you Mitchie. I know every fucking step you take,” said Shane as he walked towards Mitchie and gripped her arm with a scowl. “Listen to me closely. Two dykes will not raise Shane Grey’s daughter. You either leave that bitch and marry me or I’ll see you in court. You know that I have the money to pay for the best attorneys. I will get custody,” declared Shane.
“Get out! You will never get my baby! Lexy will not let you take our daughter,” screamed Mitchie.
Alex threw the door open as she heard Mitchie scream and rushed towards her girlfriend. She wrapped her arms around Mitchie protectively and glared at Shane. “What the fuck is your problem? Who the hell do you think you are to come into my home and threaten my family? Get out Grey and don’t ever come onto my property again!” yelled Alex.
“Aw isn’t that sweet the dyke protecting her family. Too bad that no matter how badly you want it Russo, the kid will never be yours. You don’t have the right equipment,” said Shane with a smirk.
Alex glared at Shane. “She’s more my daughter than she is yours asshole. I’m the one that is raising her, the one that she goes to when she has a nightmare, the one that stands by her bedside when she’s sick. I don’t need your package because my baby girl has all my love,” countered Alex.
Shane walked towards the door and glared at Mitchie and Alex. “See you in court Torres. Your little bitch won’t be able to stop me from taking what is mine,” stated Shane as he walked out and slammed the door shut.
Mitchie buried her face in Alex’s chest and kept crying. She knew that Shane had the monetary means of taking Sarah from her. “Shane wants to take Sarah from us,” said Mitchie as she cried harder. “He said that if I didn’t marry him he would fight us in court for her custody,” explained Mitchie between sobs.
Alex stood up with Mitchie in her arms and sat on the couch with her girlfriend on her lap like a small child. “He will not take our baby, Mitch. I promise you that he will not take her. Shane might have money, but he is not exactly the image of responsibility. He has the whole party guy thing going. No judge would grant him custody,” said Alex as she rubbed Mitchie’s back soothingly.
Mitchie nodded feeling slightly better. “You’re right. Shane is too irresponsible to get custody,” realized Mitchie. “Thank you for everything you told him baby,” whispered Mitchie.
Alex pecked Mitchie’s lips and held her close. “I meant every word Mitch. That little girl stole my heart much like her mother did back in high school. You two are my world,” said Alex with a smile.
“Lexy!” cried Sarah as she rushed down the stairs. She stopped in her tracks as she saw her mother sitting on Alex’s lap. “Momma you in my spot,” complained Sarah who loved to sit on Alex’s lap.
Alex and Mitchie burst out laughing. “Come here princess. You can sit on Momma’s lap,” suggested Mitchie as she opened her arms for her daughter.
Sarah giggled and ran to Mitchie. She climbed into her mother’s lap and they all sat in a comfortable silence.
“Lexy, I have to go finish dinner. A certain visit interrupted me,” said Mitchie as she stood up and placed Sarah on Alex’s lap.
“Don’t worry babe. I’ll finish up. You’ve had a busy day,” said Alex with a smile.
Mitchie smiled back and shook her head. “I got it baby, thank you. You two go play,” suggested Mitchie. She didn’t need to say it twice and shook her head with a laugh as Alex and Sarah rushed upstairs.
“Dibs on Disney’s “Sing It!” yelled Alex since her and Sarah often fought over that game.
Alex was like a big kid and the best mother that she could have asked for, for her daughter. The fact that she was sexy as hell and great in bed were just added bonuses thought Mitchie with a smirk.

Mitchie placed the roasted chicken on the table along with the pot of brown rice. She turned to grab the corn on the cob when she heard the doorbell ring for the second time that day. She hoped that Shane hadn’t decided to return. Fearfully, she made it to the door and almost fell over as the person tackled her.
“O my God Mitchie! It’s been too long!,” squealed Caitlyn as she hugged her best friend tightly before pulling away with a grin.
“Katie, Tess, I can’t believe you guys are really here. It has been way too long,” said a happy Mitchie as she grinned at her friends. She hadn’t seen or talked to Caitlyn since she had gotten pregnant. She lost contact with everyone. “How did you guys find me?” questioned Mitchie as she led them to the living room.
“We heard your song on the radio and Tess’ mom got your address from Mr. Davis,” explained Caitlyn. “This place is huge. I thought that you had just got signed,” said Caitlyn with a confused expression.
Mitchie laughed. “I did. Lexy, bought the place. My fiancé is a successful interior designer,” explained Mitchie with a grin as she held out her hand to show off her engagement ring.
“Really? You two are back together?” squealed Caitlyn as she took Mitchie’s hand to eye the ring.
Alex appeared at the foot of the stairs with Sarah on her hip and grinned at the visitors. She walked over and hugged both girls. “I can’t believe that you two are here. Welcome to our home. This is our daughter Sarah. Say hi to your Aunts Caitlyn and Tess, baby,” said Alex with a smile.
“Hi,” said Sarah with a shy smile.
Mitchie finally realized that Tess hadn’t said a word. “Why are you so quiet Tess?” question Mitchie with a questioning smile.
Caitlyn glared at her wife. “She’s quiet because she has a lot of explaining to do,” said Caitlyn. “We have some important things to discuss with you, but it’s not suitable for some audiences,” explained Caitlyn.
Lexy set Sarah on the floor. “Sugar plum go upstairs and play for a minute, kay,” said Alex and Sarah rushed upstairs.
Tess took a deep breath. “Mitchie, back when you and Alex were living together in New York I was having an affair with Shane,” said Tess looking at the floor. “He asked me about you and I mentioned that you were living with your girlfriend in New York. Mitchie, he went crazy and started ranting about how could you replace him with a fucking girl. I had told him everything about you and Alex before his rant. Your meeting was not chance. Shane planned the whole thing to prove that he could get you away from Alex. After he got all the information he wanted from me he kicked me to the curb. I realized that I couldn’t keep my mouth shut and wanted to warn you, but I was scared of loosing Caitlyn. When I finally decided to come clean it was too late. You had disappeared. Shane’s evil, Mitchie and only cares about himself. He might try to ruin yours and Alex’s happiness again,” revealed Tess.
Mitchie shook her head in disbelief as she reached for Alex’s hand. “That asshole planned the whole thing, but it’s still my fault for falling for it. I should have never cheated on Lexy and why were you cheating on Caitlyn?” questioned an angry Mitchie.
Tess sat next to Caitlyn and Caitlyn wrapped an arm around her. “Because I was stupid Mitchie. I still had a lot of maturing to do. Luckily, Katie is a very loving and forgiving person,” said Tess as she smiled at her wife. “I’m sorry guys, Shane finding you was my fault,” apologized Tess.
“Don’t worry. That’s in the past and you’re right, Shane was here earlier. He’s fighting us for custody,” said Mitchie.
Tess jumped up. “Fuck him! I will testify that he is into every damn drug in the book and about his promiscuous sex life. He is not fit to raise a rat much less an adorable child,” ranted Tess.
“Thank you Tess,” said Mitchie with a grin as she got up to hug her friend.
“It’s the least I can do and I’ll give you Nate and Jason’s numbers. I can guarantee that they will want to help too. It won’t look too good for Shane when his own brothers testify against him,” declared Tess.
Alex who had remained quiet stood up and hugged Tess with a smile. “Thank you. We will do anything to keep our daughter. Why don’t you two join us for dinner?” requested Alex. “Sugar plum, dinner!” Alex called up the stairs.
Tess and Caitlyn happily agreed and they all made it into the kitchen for a nice dinner.
