Authors POV
The three headed out to the mall, and headed into the nearest kids clothing store, once they got to the clothes section Chris allowed Melissa to help Maddie picking clothes out, she had no idea what she was doing, but he wanted to her to know that she was going to be apart of the decisions so Chris thought this was the perfect opportunity to start. Maddie walked around holding Melissa's hand.
Maddie picked out a few things that she thought she might like, and Melissa picked a few items so Maddie could try them on. Chris sat out side the change room while Melissa help Maddie put them on. After a few out fits later, Maddie decided to that she wanted to have a look at different clothes from different stores, Chris suggested that Maddie pick out 5 out fits she can mix and match. She agreed. After a few more shops, Maddie now had a full wardrobe of clothes, it was now time for the toys, Chris and Melissa agreed that they didn't want to giver her everything, however from what they have seen she, didn't have much and wasn't like that, but they wanted to give her a few things. Chris gave Melissa some money that he took out, so it wouldn't look weird. 
Once Melissa paid for what Maddie wanted all together there wasn't that much, she obviously was excited about getting an iPad, but she wanted some dolls, and colouring pencils, i got her pain and one of those chalk board, so she was able to do some painting so Melissa got a lard paper book. 
Melissa and Maddie got a taxi back to the facility so she could drop everything off and take Maddie and Chris out for lunch. 
                          
The two arrived at the Center saying hello to the people at the front desk, and walking down to Chris office. 
Melissa knocked on the door, wait for Chris to open the door, since she didn't really have a free hand to do so, and it was to high for Maddie to reach. 
Chris opened the door, still with a somber look on his face not realising that it was still their when he opened the door, Melissa realised it straight away. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Umm nothing" he replied. "Maddie why don't I take you so you can play with some, kids, while your dad and I have a chat?" Melissa asked Chris. "Um yeah, let me take these" he said talking the bags of items the girls had brought.
Melissa came back from dropping Maddie off at one of the rooms with kids her age, and walked back to Chris know able to open the door. 
"So whats wrong?" She asked him. He sighed and sat on the couch. Melissa sat next to him look at him in the eye's. "Hanna she was in a relationship with someone that was abusive, I search her up and i found a few things, and the police got back to me" He started "Police?" Melissa asked confused "I asked the girls at the front desk, to get all the CCTV footage of Hanna and give it to the police so they could track her down. He got up and went to his computer, Melissa followed, He showed her what he found. "I don't think Maddie is my daughter." He told her. "I remember you telling me that your ex cheated on you a week before your weeding right?" He asked Melissa nodded for him to continue, "At that time three years ago, I was with Hanna, and well three years ago we broke up, I think Maddie is Blake's daughter, and he's been hurting Hanna so the only person she could think of was me" Chris explained. Melissa nodded "He's also be hitting and harming Maddie" Melissa started. She sighed "when I was bathing her, she had scars, all over her, I told her not to worry, because I have scars too" Melissa said. Chris pulled onto his lap. "Your so good with her, and if she is my daughter or not, i would love to have you as her mother, or have kids of our own" Chris said, kissing Melissa on the lip. "I would love to start a family with you" Melissa said biting her lip, giving Chris a kiss, and was interrupted by his phone. "To be continued" he said as Melissa went and sat on the couch. "Hi Rachelle" Chris started  "oh thank you,  yes please send her down, I'm could you also get someone to bring Maddie back please?" Chris said, There was a knock at the door, Chris got up and opened it, to see that it was Maddie. Maddie ran over to Melissa and engulfed her in a hug. Melissa and Chris smiled. 
"Thank you for dropping her back" Chris told the lady. "No worries all the kids loved having someone new," the lady said. "No worries thank you" Chris replied. 
Just as Chris closed the door a hand stopped it. He opened it to reveal Hanna, and When Maddie saw Hanna, she littler tried to buried her self into Melissa. "Umm, Hi, come in," he said allowing her to come in. "Hi Mel, Hey baby," Hanna said. "She's grown a liking to you, that hardly ever happens. "I have a special touch with kid's Melissa replied, sarcastically. 
"So Hanna, I'm sorry I had to do this but I think we all need closure," Chris said. She nodded agreeing. 
"Um, so I gave Maddie to you because... I couldn't help I couldn't give her what she needed. I was in a really bad spot and now that I have a job, I can't take her back." Hanna said. "NO!" Maddie screamed hugging Mel. "Why sweetie," Hanna asked " I don't want to go back" she screamed now crying. "We're not going back to that placing baby," she said calmly. "Hanna,  is Maddie mine" Chris asked. "She is, why would y,ou question that" he asked Hanna. "You don't tell me for four years," Chris stated as Melissa to Maddie out of the room and took her to lunch. "And then this" he says as he turns the computer around to show her and Blake. 
"It's his, he's the father, and do you know what from what Mel told me, Blake was her fiancé, and Blake has also been hurting Maddie," Chris said almost screaming. 
"This is a facility for kids like Maddie, but I am happy both Mel and I are both happy to take her until you get your life together" he said more calmly. Hanna sighed. "Chris you have to understand that i gave her to you because I knew she was at risk" Hanna started and Chris interrupted "Then what didn't you get her out of there, its your job to protect her Hanna, seriously." Chris said annoyed "Chris i was trying to leave but every time i tried he caught us, we were trapped, Chris i really need your help please, When i dropped her off, he was drunk, like out like a light, oblivious to what was going on and he till is." Hanna said. "Ok Hanna its ok, come with me I think we need to go down to the park where Mel works" Chris said grabbing his jacket and walking down to the park where the cafe was.
