Something Is Fishy

Kayleigh's pov

I gave him a look when we got inside my room, "What are you trying to do in front of this people? Play a dotting father? I'll tell you what, it's not going to work." He grabbed Haley from my hands and laid her down on the bassinet; He spoke with a calm voice while he slowly removed the diaper, "I am not trying to prove anything to anyone, I am just helping you with my daughter." I glared at him while I observed him carefully doing his job, "you might be the sperm donor but you haven't been a father to her yet to call her 'your daughter'. I carried her in my womb for 9 months and raised her!" He surrendered his arms in air, "I am sorry let me rephrase this, I am helping you raise our daughter!" I eyed him with suspicion as he has already apologised twice in 2 hours! This is so unlike him. He put on fresh pair of clothes on her and we went out of the room. To my surprise, all he has been doing with Haley since he got here is baby talks and my darling daughter is giggling and having great time with him, my heart melted seeing the father-daughter duo. We got in the living room to see Sam, Jay and Beth gathered in a mini-circle. I hope they are not planning something for him, I seriously can't afford to go and see them in jail every other day. Before I could say anything they ran out of the door to buy ice-cream. Eddie chuckled and walked over to the kitchen counter to have a glass of water, I rolled my eyes and got a tub of ice cream out of the refrigerator. He bursted in to a fit of laughter for which he earned a eye roll from me before I asked, "Do you have any clue what this guys are up to?" His laughter died down as he spoke, "No, I don't have any idea. May be they are plotting my murder!" I walked over to him and kissed Haley on her cheek, "I don't think so, did you inform Jay before coming here?" He shook his head and looked down at me intensely, "No, he doesn't even know that I decided to show up here. May be its a coincidence!" I nodded "Would you like something to drink?" He shook his head, "I am good, thanks" and grabbed my hand to lead me to the couch "So tell me everything about what's going on with you and Haley?" I took a deep breath and answered him honestly "well Sam and Dan have been with me since the time I found out I was pregnant and they offered to support me with anything and everything they could. So after Haley was born, I stayed home for a month and went back to work, we take turns to watch Haley. I didn't want Haley to grow up with a nanny, so we came to a conclusion that we three will work different shifts so she grows up in front of us." He held an unreadable expression on his face, "that must have been really difficult for you! " he held my gaze for a second as I answered, "Not really, they are always there for me. If it weren't for them, I don't know what I would have done!" Haley was yawning so I tried to take Haley from him but he insisted that he wants to put her to sleep, he paced around the room while Haley slept in his arms. Once she was deep in her sleep he stood by the window deep in his thoughts, "I really wish if only I could turn back time and change things for us, for our angel." I nodded knowing that he is not looking at me, he turned towards me and said "Kay, they are back" I went back in the kitchen to pretend nothing happened. Eddie went to open the door for them and I walked to the kitchen, the moment they entered through the door I picked up the ice cream tub and placed it on the kitchen counter with thud and gave them a murderous glare. I am certain they are up to something but I can't quite put a finger on it yet.

They gathered around the couch chatting with each other, after awhile the door bell rang so I went to get the door to find Dan standing on the other end. Before I could say anything he furiously pushed past me and stood in front of everyone. Sam greeted him with a hug murmuring something in his ear for which she earned just a slight nod from him. He pointed at Eddie, "you come with me, we need to talk!" before he could even not Dan went out of the main door while he followed him. I looked at the people present in my room for answers while they shrugged with amused look on their face. I sat in front of them, "can anyone tell me what's going on? It's like I am the only who can't understand what's going on?" I looked at each one of them and before I can understand what's going on in their mind Sam spoke up, "I called Dan over because I wasn't sure what to do, if Eddie tries to do anything shitty he can beat the shit out of him!" I rolled my eyes at her, "Sam you didn't have to make Dan worried, I assure you Eddie won't do anything stupid and if he tries to take Haley away from me I'll personally make his living life hell besides you punched the poor thing in the morning." Jay chuckled, "I would bet my money on Dan! he would beat the shit out of him if he tries to mess with you." Beth's lips curled up in a grin, "Yeah me too, he totally deserves it." I glared at Beth "Beth since when did you start supporting violence? You are someone who believes in peace." She just shrugged and before I could say anything Dan and Eddie returned, the look on their face said nothing has really happened between them. I spoke up to break the tension in the air, "alright let me go and set the table." I looked at everyone and suddenly everyone was interested in watching Haley sleep, Eddie followed me and helped me set the table, I looked at them and saw them talking to each other in whispers so I whispered, "something is definitely fishy, I wonder what?" Eddie looked at me "You said something?" I shook my head "oh it's nothing."
