By: GeorgeStultsFan

Summary: Something you never thought tore them apart and one of them has to raise their daughter by themselves. But, what happens when something you never thought would have happened brought them back together?

A/N: I don't own 7th Heaven but I do own George Stults World so that'll get me closer to owning 7th Heaven then most people. So please don't sue me if you don't like this story.

A/N2: This is story is set around February 28th, 2008

A/N3: I own Jen's Creations and some other numerous things in this chapter/story. If you don't think I do please e-mail me and let me know so I can research it myself and hopefully make the correct changes it needs.

A/N4: I don't have any cousins who are around 3 years old (wait actually I do but they refuse to see me but that's another story) so I'm not sure how a 3 year old really talks so just bear with me!

"Need, need, need, don't want, definitely don't want" Lucy muttered to herself holding up an old, disgusting looking dirty white sock that must have been Kevin's at some point and threw it into a black garbage bag that was already brimming at the top.

Lucy looked around the room and stared at the bare white walls and sighed. Moving into this house wasn't a problem three years ago, it's moving out that was causing her a lot of problems.

Standing up, she twisted her body around until the kink out of her back was gone. Stepping very carefully around the brown boxes that were blocking almost every part of the door, walls and floor she finally made her way around and walked into the hallway where she could hear the laughter and giggles of her 3-year-old daughter, Savannah.

"Anna?" She yelled from the hallway. She waited for her daughter to yell back or come running from her room. But when she didn't appear after a few moments, Lucy hesitated and walked down to her daughter's room and knocked on the door before entering.

"Hi momma!" the dark brown hair, chocolate eyed little girl replied, without taking her eyes off of the coloring book that she was currently "decorating" as she liked to call it.

"Hi sweetie" Lucy replied softly as she bent down on the ground so she could be almost the same height as her daughter. "What are you doing?"

"I'm decorating" the little girl declared with a big smile.

"I see that. You're doing a very good job. Can I help you decorate it to?" Lucy replied with a smile as she grabbed a red color crayon and poised it over a part where Savannah hadn't scribbled on it yet and waited for the little girls answer.

"Sure!" Savannah replied with enthusiasm as she threw the pink crayon to the ground and grabbed the half broken black crayon from the pile that was on the floor and started to color over the same spot where she was at.

Savannah spoke up after a half an hour of silence. "Mommy?"

"Mmmmhmmm" Lucy replied carefully concentrating on deciding what color she should choose for the teddy bear. Oxide Brown or Purple Beach from the 350 set of Crayons by Jen's Creations that she had bought for Savannah a few days ago.

"Are we going somewhere?" the little girl

Lucy put down the crayon and bit the inside of her lip. "Don't assume anything, always answer with a question if it's an important one" came to mind before she answered her daughter. "What do you mean sweetie?"

"All of these boxes. What are they for?"

Lucy took a quick breath and placed the crayon on top of the coloring book and brushed the dark brown hair out of Savannah's eyes. "Come here pumpkin" she replied patting her lap.

Savannah jumped up eagerly and rushed into Lucy's lap and wrapped her small arms around Lucy's neck.

Lucy cleared her throat. "We are putting all of our stuff into those boxes so they can go into storage for a while."

"What's storage?" Savannah asked frowning.

Lucy smiled and touched her nose with Savannah's. "It's a big place that has a lot of garages in them and we can put all of the stuff that we don't need or that we don't use right now until we want to use them again"

"Oh okay"

Savannah frowned again. "What do we need a garage for?"

Lucy smiled sweetly again at Savannah and held her closer to her. "Well grandma and grandpa want us to move in with them for a while and since Aunt Ruthie and Uncle David and Uncle Sam are still at home there isn't a lot of room for us to have everything"

Savannah looked confused and wrinkled her brow. "Will we have to put molly in storage to?" she asked, referring to their 1-year-old Shetland sheepdog.

Lucy let out a laugh. "No, Molly will stay with us but a lot of our furniture and stuff will have to go into storage though"

Savannah looked like she was lost in thought and Lucy gave a small laugh to herself. Only her daughter would make everything seem so serious.

"Well as long as Molly and my dollies don't have to go into storage I guess its ok" she said with a smile giving Lucy a big kiss on the lips.

Lucy gave her the biggest smile she could afford and wrapped her arms tighter around Savannah and picked her up off the ground and walked out of her room.

"My tummy's hungry" Savannah announced.

"Well I'm glad! Do you want to feed your tummy or should we let it make a lot more noise?" Lucy asked giving Savannah a quick wink as they walked down the stairs.

"NO! It's making big noises"

"Do you want to go to Kid's Playhouse for dinner?"

Savannah gave a loud squeal as she hopped off the bottom step and rush to the front door to put her shoes on.

Lucy watched her daughter pull her shoes on and Velcro them on by herself; she could feel her heart break into a million pieces.

This wasn't supposed to have happened like this. He was supposed to be here to watch and see his daughter grow up.
