They Don't Need To Understand

Sherri's POV

I had been years since I had even thought or spoken to Andy. I was 21 now. I had a steady job. I had a lovely two bedroom house. I also had a kid. I had a two year old little girl with gorgeous blue eyes, luscious dark brown hair and the most beautiful little smile I had ever seen. Her Dad...He did not stay around! He didn't want anything more to do with me or the little girl we had. He was British and he had to go back to Britain leaving me and our unborn baby behind. But..Its one of those things.

"Lilly, sweetie come on we have to go out and see someone today," I called into my daughters room as she sat on the floor playing with her favourite teddy bear and dolls
"Oh-kay mommy," Lilly smiled picking up Mr Stuffy (her teddy bear) and reaching up for me. As I picked her up, I set her down on her bed and went to chose her outfit.
"Do you like...this one?" I posed with a red dress in my hand. Lilly shook her head, "This one?" I stood with a white dress in my hands, Lilly nodded. Her favourite dress. I dressed my little girl in her white dress and stuck on some white socks with a black trim lace around the tops and put on her black shoes. Since her hair was so thick and long, I put a tiny black flower clip in her hair and pushed it over her shoulder. The second I set her down, she began to play with Mr Stuffy and her dollies. I just had to giggle at her. After dressing my self in dark blue skinny jeans, a white vest top and a black blazer with rolled up sleeves and shoving some converse on my feet, I applied little makeup, tiny flicks, foundation and powder and tiny bit of mascara. My brown hair was wavy and shoved over my shoulder (as per usual!) and I went to pick up my bag and Lilly's bag.
"Mommy, where goin'?" Lilly questioned as I carried her down stairs and put her into the car.
"We are going to see your Uncle Jakey and Aunty Ella," I smiled as I started to drive towards the coffee shop that Jake was meeting us at.

As I pulled up and got Lilly out of the car, I could see my brother shocked to see me with a baby.
"Sher, where did you get a baby?" Jake questioned as Ella came to adore at Lilly.
"She's mine...you were on that Tour so I couldn't get hold of you, I thought Dad would have said?" I asked
"Nope nothing. So this is my niece? She is so adorable!" Jake cooed at her and Lilly hid in my hair.
"Lilly, this is your Uncle Jakey," I said pointing at him. All Lilly could do was smile and giggle at how fluffy his hair was, "This is your Aunty Ella," Lilly smiled at her and giggled, still hiding into my hair.
"So we coming inside?" I laughed and started to walk into the coffee shop. As I went inside I saw Christian Coma, Ashley Purdy, Jinxx and the man I least wanted to see... Andy Biersack with Juliet Simms. I stood in shock as Lilly continued to cuddle Mr Stuffy and hide in my wavy hair.
"Is that?" I heard Ashley whisper
"That's little Sherri Waters?" Jinxx questioned
"Yep," Andy said bluntly
"Oh god who is that little cutie with my Baby Girl?!" CC shouted and came running over to me with open arms
"CC! I have missed you so much!" I smiled "and this is Lilly, say hello Lilly?" but nope, Lilly stayed hidden in my hair with Mr Stuffy
"Is it yours?" Andy asked bluntly
"What a stupid question, she's the spitting image of her!" Ashley laughed loudly
"Fuck off Ashley," Andy said
"No swearing around the bubba!" CC demanded
"Yeah Lilly is mine," I answered acting as if Andy's presence didn't bother me.
"She is so cute, how old is she?" Jinxx asked smiling at Lilly when she looked at him
"She's two nearly, her birthday is in two weeks," I smiled and Jake got me a chair. With Lilly sat on my lap she had a clear view of all the people sat around her.
"She's so cute," Juliet started, "Where's the dad"?
"He left when he found out about her. He lives in the UK so he's there and me and Lil are here. We're doing perfectly fine without him," I smiled and Juliet's face turned sour
"Aw my Andy wouldn't ever do that to me. Would you baby?" Juliet tried to rub it in how she had Andy. It made me snicker how much both her and Andy thought I cared.
"You never know what can happen though," I smiled and her bitchy face started to freeze in place.
"Anyways Jakey I want one!" Ella moaned
"Awesome," Jake smiled. As we were mid conversation Lilly interrupted me as I listened to CC and Ashley's story of tour
"mommy?" Lilly asked, "Drinky?"
"What do you want? Apple or milk?"
"Appwel pwease mommy," Lilly asked. We stayed for a while until Lilly fell asleep on me.

"Well I think its time to go. This one needs her bed," As I picked up Lilly, Jake hugged me and asked me to go over his at about half past four for a meal or something. After I said I'd try to Andy took Lil's bag and followed me out to the car.
"She's your double," Andy said as we got closer to the car
"She's got his attitude, gentle and sweet," I smiled at my daughter and Andy smiled at me, "What?"
"You are such a good mom. I'll pick you tonight if you want?" Andy offered opening the car door for me as I put Lilly in the car
"Thanks and I don't think Juliet would like that...she doesn't like me Andy. And I don't want to hear her bring up Lilly's dad again. He doesn't want us and I don't want to hear about him," I said as I put Lilly in her car seat and strapped her in.
"I'm ending it with her. What she said to get to you today, I admit I hated you for a very long time after everything that happened on Warp but bringing up her Dad every time we spoke about Lil, it pushed me over the edge. She has been cheating on me for the last month anyways. She wont be there, I'll pick you two up?" Andy offered again
"I don't even know if Lilly will have enough energy for it," I laughed and shut the door.
"Then me and you can have a catch up," Andy smiled. Why is he so different around everyone else?
"Maybe. I urm, I gotta go," I smiled and hugged Andy.
"Look after that little princess for me. And drive home safe okay?" Andy said in my ear and kissed my cheek.
"Bye Andy," I laughed and got in my car
"I'll see you two beautiful girls later," Andy smiled, "I'll get your number from Jake and your address?"
"Okay cool, bye Andy," I waved
"Bye gorgeous," Andy waved. Maybe things really are different now.
