Chapter 1

Orange, CA

     "Momma momma your home!"
     "Hey there sweetie, how's my Teddy bear?" Evangelyne smiled.
     "Auntie Christel let me play in the mud."Teddy said brightly.
     "I can see that." Evangalyne said as she looked at her 5 year old daughter covered in mud and laughed. Teddy's brown hair,like her own, was now black.
     "I didn't Let her do anything." Christel said coming from drawing Teddy a bath.
     "But you didn't say no either."Evangelyne chuckled.
     "You know she has me wrapped around her lil finger." Christel grinned.
     "And I love ya for it."
     "Momma lets go play in the mud." Teddy requested.
     "Not now Teddy you need a bath."
     "Ahh momma!"
     "You gonna say no to THAT face." Christel asked.
     "You just wanna see me play in the mud." Evangalyne said with a grin.
     "Too true"
     "Please momma!" Teddy said looking up at her mother with her big blue eyes.
     Her fathers eyes. Evangalyne thought with sadness. "I'll tell you what," Evangalyne said sitting on the couch, "if you go take a bath without a fuss, the next time it rains momma will play in the mud with you."
     "Yeaaaahhh!" Teddy yelled as she scurried to take a bath.
     "You will?" Christel asked raising an eyebrow.
     "It's July, the next time it rains she will have forgotten."Evangelyne shrugged her shoulder.
     "You hope. So how did it go? Did you get the job?"
     "They're going to get back to me, they have to discuss my terms with the group before they say yes." Evangelyne answered picking items up off the floor.
     "What group is it again anyways?" Christel asked.
     "One of those boy bands, N or M something or other." Evangelyne answered.
     "*N Sync!" Christel yelped.
     "Yeah that's it, are they any good?" Evangelyne smiled.
     "Evangalyne, you don't know who *N Sync is?" Christel asked dumbfounded.
     "No, when on earth would I have time between Photojournalism and raising Teddy to have a life?" Evangalyne said looking at Christel.
     "True, raising Teddy on your own that's gotta be hard." Christel said sympathetically.
     "But worth it." Evangalyne said with a smile.
     "Evangalyne I know it's none of my business but.." Christel sarted to ask knowing she was about to hit a nerve.
     "You want to know about Teddy's father?" Evangalyne answered for her.
     "Well...if you don't mind?" Christel said carefully.
     "As soon a Teddy's asleep, I'll tell you everything you want to know."
     "Really?" Christel asked suprised.
     "Yes really, after five years I think I can trust you." Evangalyne said as she got up to wash mud out of her daughter's hair.

chapter 2

Orlando, FL

     "I'm glad you all could make it, we have something to discuss." Lou Pearlman said to Justin, Chris, Joey, Lance and JC.
     "This is about the Photojournalist isn't it?" Joey asked.
     "Yes and you guys agreed to this." Lou told them.
     "Have you found someone yet?" JC asked.
     "Yes we have.."
     "Male or Female?" Chris interupted.
     "Female but..."
     "Uh oh." Justin said.
     "Calm down we haven't hired her yet and she didn't even know who you guys were, so don't be thinking that."
     "She doesn't know who we are" Chris, Joey and Justin exclaimed as JC and Lance rolled their eyes.
     "No she doesn't now will you let me get back to business?" Lou asked chuckliing.
     "Go ahead shoot." JC said.
     "We really want to hire her," Lou said," she's really good, but she has one stipulation she won't back down on."
     "She doesn't want to share a room with anyone but me?" Joey joked.
     "Do you always have to go there?" Lanceasked
     "Duh, he's Joey." Chris shot.
     "Does she have a problem living in the same house as us?" Justin asked.
     "No that's not it." Lou stated.
     "Then what's the problem?" JC asked.
     "Is she ugly?" Chris questioned with a laugh.
     "I don't know I haven't met her face to face, I sent Adam to do that."
     "So then what's the problem?" JC asked again.
     "She has a 5 year old daughter that she won't leave behind for 9 months" Lou answered.
     "She wants to bring a kid with her!" Joey yelled.
     "You've got to be kidding?" Justin asked.
     "Cool!" Chris said.
     "I don't mind." Lance said.
     "i think it's a good idea," JC said," it'll keep they guys inline and I like kids."
     "we really want to hire her guys, she's one of the best and has promised to repect you and your privacy." Lou said looking at them.
     "I'm game."
     "Same here."
     "I'm in"
     "Ok I guess."
     Everybody looked to Joey.
     "Maybe Having a kid around will be fun!" Joey said.

chapter 3

Orange, Ca

     Is she asleep?" Christel asked.
     "Yes like a log."
     "So are you gonna tell me about her father and what happened?" Christel asked.
     "What do you want to know first?" Evangalyne asked as she sat down on the couch.
     "Do you see him in Teddy?"
     A sadness came into Evangalyne's blue eyes, "All the time. She has his eyes and smile and his ability to absolutely HAVE to move to the slightest beat."
     "What happened between the two of you?" Christel asked.
     "I was head over feet drowning in love with him, or I wouldn't have slept with him and there would be no Teddy."
     "Then why aren't you with him now?"
     "Because about six months before I turned 18 my parents just up and moved and they wouldn't let me write or phone him." Evangalyne said with hurt still in her voice.
     "Why not was he some sort of bad boy?" Christel asked.
     "No not at all, they didn't think that our feeling so deeply for one another was healthy at our age."
     "What about when you found out you were going to have his baby?" Christel asked.
     "My parents flipped told me I had to give it up for adoption and wouldn't allow me to search for him and tell him." Evangalyne answered.
     "Well you obviously didn't give her up." christel stated.
     "No I turned 18 right before she was born, had Teddy and raised her on my own, and never spoke to my parents again." Evangalyne said with tears in her eyes.
     "Her father doesn't even know she exists does she?" Christel asked.
     "NO he doesn't."
     "If you get this job, how are you gonna handel going back to Orlando?"
     "Orlando is a big city Christel what are the chances of me running in to him again after 5 years."

Chapter 4

Orlando two weeks later

     "Come on Teddy leave the nice lady alone and lets go get our bags" Evangalyne said as she grabbed her daughter by the hand and started making her way to baggage claim.
     "But momma she gives me peanuts." Teddy said as her as her mother lead her away.
     "You have six bags in your pockets." Evangalyne said with a smile, "That's more than enough."
     "Momma how come we sent some of our stuff last week?" Teddy asked as she watched the bags go round.
     "We have a lot of stuff and it's cheeper to send it ahead of time." Evangalyne answered her daughter.
     "Why do we need a lot of stuff momma?" Teddy asked.
     "Because we are going to be away for nine months."
     "How long is nine months?"
     "Nine months is almost a whole year. You were in momma's tummy for nine months." Evangalyne answered.
     "I was?" Teddy asked with wide eyes.
     "You sure were, now keep an eye out for our bags."
     "No, I want to keep my eye were it is, don't make me take my eye out momma please!" Teddy said crying.
     "Oh Teddy bear that's not what I meant," Evangalyne said picking Teddy up in her arms, "That's just a figure of speech. What I meant to say was look for our bags."
     "Oh is something I'm gonna laugh at when I'm older?" Teddy asked as Evangalyne put her down.
     "Yes Teddy bear, I'm sure it is." Evangalyne said with a laugh.
     "Look momma my Anastasia suitcase." Teddy said as their luggage rotated their way.
     "Yep these are them." Evangalyne said picking up their bags.
     "Now what momma?" Teddy asked.
     "We go find whomever is supposed to pick us up." Evangalyne said.
     "No need I've already found YOU!" Evangalyne turned to see who had spoken to her.
     What a cutie! Evangalyne thought.
     "Your..." He said looking down at a piece of paper, "Evangalyne Monroe?"
     "Yes I am and your?"
     "Oh I'm sorry Lance, Lance Bass and this is..." he said looking at Teddy.
     "Theadora Monroe, a pleasure to meet you sir." Teddy said as she shook his hand. "But you can call me Teddy."
     Lance looked down at her bemused, "Okay, it's nice to meet you Teddy."
     "You have pretty eyes." Teddy bluntly told Lance.
     "Thank you."
     "Your welcome."
     She goes for the eyes, Evangalyne thought, just like her mom.
     "Let me take your bags," Lance said picking them up, "sorry to have kept you waiting but Lou just asked me to pick you up a half hour ago."
     "Not a problem, your one of the guys in the group right?" Evangalyne asked.
     "Yeah the other four should be at the house." Lance answered as they approached the car.
     "So have you ladies ever been to Orlando?" He asked as he put the bags in the trunk.
     "You could say that," Evangalyne said, "I used to live here."
     "Really?" Lance asked opening the car door for Evangalyne and Teddy, "for how long?"
     She waited until he got in on his side of the car before answering, "Almost 18 years."
     "Want some peanuts?" Teddy asked holding out a packet to Lance as he started the car.
     Evangalyne hid a smile.
     "Thank you but no, you keep them." He said.
     "It's okay I have more." Teddy said digging all six bags out of her pockets.
     "Momma why are you laughing?"

Chapter 5

     "Come in." Evangalyne said as Lance poked his head into the room that would be hers for the next few months.
     "Some of the guys are here if you want to come down stairs." Lance said to her.
     "Sure just let me get Teddy." She said as she made her way to the door that connected her room to her daughter's.
     "Don't bother she's already downstairs presiding over a Superman vs. Batman discussion." Lance said grinning.
     "Who ever choses Superman is gonna lose," Evangalyne said as they made their way downstairs," She has a crush on Robin, so she'll side with Batman."
     When they got downstairs she saw her daughter in the lap of a man with braided dreadlocks arguing with a man with bright red hair.
     "Superman can fly." The Red hed exclaimed.
     "So can Batman." The one with braids countered.
     "Batman likes Robin." Teddy said putting in her two cents.
     "You tell him Teddy." said the one with braids.
     "Can I play with your hair?" Teddy asked looking up at the man with braids.
     "Go for it cutie, just keep away from the scissors." he said as Teddy got off his lap and proceeded to play with his hair.
     "Um guys." Lance said as the two men turned towards him.
     "Chris hold still or I can't make you hair pretty." Teddy scolded him.
     "Sorry."
     "Hello I'm Joey." The red had said getting up to shake hands.
     "Evangalyne."
     "And I am.."
     "No need to get up and unless I misunderstood my daughter your Chris." Evangalyne smiled
     "You heard right," He said shaking Evangalyne's hand, "How's it going up there Batgirl?" Chris asked Teddy.
     "Almost finished." Teddy said as she braided his braids.
     "I thought there were 5 of you?" Evangalyne asked confused as she noticed there were only three memebers of the group present.
     "There are, the other two are running errands." Joey responded. "Hey maybe you can help settle this discussion." he added, "who's better Superman or Batman?"
     "Neither," she said, "I like Jean Grey."
     "Who?"
     "She's one of the X-men."
     "Can she fly?" Joey asked.
     "She sure can."
     "By powers or genuis devices?" Chris asked.
     "By powers but their human powers not alein ones like Superman's," she explained, "she has the powers of Telepathy and Telekinesess, the latter which she uses to fly."
     "Cool." Joey and Chris said together.
     Just then the door opened and in walked in to sets of floating bags of grocries.
     "Justin that you man?" Joey asked.
     "Yep." a male voice said.
     "And me," a female one added.
     Those two sound familar. Evangalyne thought.
     "Here Sam, let me get those." Lance said taking the bags from her.
     "Thanks Lance." she said as he disappeared into the kithchen.
     "OH MY GOD! SAM?" Evangalyne screamed in surprise.
     "Lyney?" Sam screamed back as she ran to hug Evangalyne.
     "I haven't been called that in years." Evangalyne said.
     "I thought I would never see you again." Sam said as tears formed in each woman's eyes.
     "Don't cry momma!" Teddy said as she ran over to her mother.
     "It's ok Teddy momma's just happy." Evangelyne smiled down at her daughter.
     "You have a little girl?" Sam asked in awe.
     "Yep, Sam this is my daughter Teddy and Teddy this is Sam. She was momma's best friend when she lived here."
     "Oh yeah, momma has a picture with you in it in her dresser."
     "You've seen that picture?" Evangalyne asked in shock.
     "Yeah, he's in it too." Teddy said pointing to the kithchen door, where a blond man was standing.
     "Monroe?"
     "Timberlake?"
     "Oh my god!" Justin said as he vaulted over the couch to engulf her in a bear hug. "Your the photojournalist?" he asked.
     "Yep." she smiled,
     "And you have a kid!" Justin said looking down at Teddy.
     "Hi I'm Teddy!"
     Justin knelt down smiling, "Hi I'm Justin."
     "You three know each other?" Joey asked.
     "She used to live here in Orlando." Lance explained coming back from the kitchen.
     "We were all really close." Sam added.
     "How close?" Chris asked looking from Teddy and back to Justin.
     "Not that close!" Evangalyne and Justin said laughing.
