This is something new i am going to try. I have never tried writing a story but i thought i would give it a shot so just bare with me as i just set up the beginning of the story line and hopefully it can get it more interesting as i go along....
Meet Nicole Gibson. She just moved to Sunset Valley and all she has is a sleeping bag, piano, and $150. She is neat, virtuoso, friendly, easily impressed and a vegetarian. Will she make it to the top of the music career or will she fall flat on her face?
Nicole went to Central Park and started playing the piano for tips. Apparently everyone liked her playing cause she earned $245.
She went to the grocery store to get some fruit to eat. That is where she met Garrett Wilson. She found out that he works as a spa package seller and is friendly.
Later that evening, with no where else to go she pulled out her sleeping bag and slept in front of the grocery store.

When she finished her lunch she went for a walk around town. She ran into Garrett, who she remembered she met the day before.
"Garrett, right?" she asked.
"Yes" he replied.
"I'm sorry, you probably dont remember me. I met you yesterday at the grocery store, Nicole."
"Oh, right. How are you?"
"I am fine."
They talked for a few more minutes then he invited her back to his house. They both went back to his house and they had a drink and talked for a while longer.
"Would you like to stay the night?" he asked her.
"I would love to." she said, realizing that she wouldn't have to sleep in the park.
The next morning she woke up and thanked him for letting her stay and she left.
As she was walking down the street she noticed what she thought was an empty firehouse.
After she walked in the door she didnt see anyone around so she decided to look around. She walked into a big room and saw a bunch of beds.
"I could start staying here." she thought.
She went into the bathroom and started getting cleaned up and went back downstairs and rummaged through the fridge for something to eat.
As she was going back up the stairs she ran into one of the firemen, well actually it was a fire woman.
The fire woman looked at her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked Nicole.
"I'm sorry I thought it was empty. I was just going to get some rest."
"I'm sorry you can't stay here."
"But I have no where to go."
Nicole started sobbing.
"It's okay...you can stay here. Just stop crying." the fire woman said. "You just have to stay out of the way."
"Thank you so much. I will only be here at night and will leave during the day."
"Good."
Later that day she ran into a fireman this time.
He introduced himself, "Hi I am Drew. Can I help you?"
"Hi I am Nicole. One of the other fire people said I could stay here." she replied.
"Oh ok." he said.
They stood there talking for a while and then the bells went off and he had to go to a fire. She was alone again. She went upstairs and went to bed.
They finally decided to go on a date. They went to the restaraunt and went back to Garrett's house. They went out back to watch the stars together. They sat there and flirted and cuddled under the stars. When Nicole realized how late it was getting she got up to leave. They both stood up and Nicole took a chance and kissed Garrett for the first time.
The next morning, Nicole was at the park sitting on the swing thinking.
She thought about the date she and Garrett had the night before. Her cell phone started to ring and it broke her out of her thoughts.
When she answered it, she realized it was Garrett. She was so excited. He asked if she could come over he had something to ask her.
"I know we have only known each other for about a month but how would you like to move in with me?" he asked.
She stood there for a second.
'If i move in then no more fire house' she thought.
"I would love to," she said excitedly.
Garrett went downstairs to make breakfast. Nicole sat on the side of the bed. She watched Garrett as he walked out the door.
'Did I accept just because i have no house? I really do like him.'
After breakfast was ready Garrett called her and she went down to join him for breakfast.
The fire department came and put the fire out. After they left and the fire was out Nicole and Garrett were too tired to do anything else but sleep. The next morning Garrett brushed the side of her face gently waking her up. They laid there and cuddled on the bed for a while and then they finally slept together.
Nicole was sitting on the couch thinking about the doctor's appointment she had the day before.
'How am I going to tell Garrett?' she thought to herself. She heard something in the kitchen so she got up and went into the kitchen. Garrett was finally awake. It was time to tell him.
"Garrett, I need to talk to you about something." she started.
"Can I have my breakfast first?" he said sounding distant.
"Sure, I guess what i have to say isnt that important."
He sat down at the table and had his breakfast. When he finished he brought his dishes to the kitchen and then turned to her and looked at her. She was sitting at the counter with her head in her hands.
"You wanted to talk?" he asked.
"Yes there is something I need to tell you." she said standing up.
She walked over to him.
"I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I was pregnant."
Garrett just stood there and looked at her in shock.
"Y...y...y...you're pregnant." he stuttered.
"Yes."
"Well..." there was a long pause before he spoke again.
"What are you wanting to do now?" he asked.
"Well, its not like I want to get married or anything. I just thought that you should know." she said.
"Okay, I know."
He turned around and went upstairs to shower. Nicole's phone started ringing. She answered it. After a few minutes Garrett came in the room as she was hanging up.
"I am going to meet Drew for our weekly lunch. I will be back in a bit." she said seeing Garrett walking in the room. Nicole left to meet Drew.
There was a knock on the door and Garrett answered it. There stood Molly French. He invited her in and they sat on the couch and talked.
"Nicole is pregnant. I just don't think that I am ready for that kind of commitment with her. I was going to break things off with her this morning but she told me that and i just didnt think i could right then." he said to Molly.
"We cant go any further till you do. It just wouldnt be right." Molly said.
"I will tonight, I promise." he said leaning in to kiss her.
They sat on the couch making out, after a while they got up and went upstairs.
Nicole came home from her lunch with Drew. She went upstairs to take a nap and as she opened the door she saw Molly and Garrett jumping out of the bed.
"I told you she was home." Molly said.
"What in the world is going on?" Nicole said looking from Garrett to Molly.
"I'm sorry, Nicole. I never meant for you to find out this way." Garrett said.
"Find out. So you have been messing around with her?" Nicole said pointing at Molly.
"Yes, but this is the first time. I was going to tell you this morning but you told me about the baby instead." he said.
"I cant believe you!" she exclaimed.
She turned around and walked out the door. She walked around town for a while and ended up at the fire station. She walked in the firehouse and found Drew.
"Hey, everything alright?" Drew asked.
"My life is falling apart." she said.
"What are you talking about? You are happy with Garrett and you are having a baby. This is everything that you have wanted."
"I got home from our lunch and i found him in bed with another girl." she started sobbing. "I cant go back there. What am i going to do? Where am i going to stay?"
Drew leaned in and hugged her.
"You can stay with me till you figure out what you are going to do." he told her.
Nicole and Drew was at his house sitting on the couch talking.
"I was thinking about your situation, Nicole, you could always just move in here till you have the baby and get back on your feet." Drew said.
"I cant. That is too much pressure on you."
"Sure you can. Its no problem, its not like i stay here a lot anyways. I mainly stay at the firehouse."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely."
The next day Drew helped move Nicole's things over while Garrett was out. Drew also went out and bought a bunch of baby things so that when Nicole had the baby she would have everything she needed for it.
Drew put his hand on Nicole's tummy.
"There we go little one, now we have everything for you to come meet us." Drew said to Nicole's tummy.
Later that night Nicole went into labor.
Nicole brought her baby home from the hospital.
"Are you hungry Valerie?" Nicole asked giving Valerie a bottle.
After she fed Valerie she showed her everything in the house.
"I guess its time you met you father." Nicole said.
She put Valerie in the swing and called Garrett to invite him over to meet his daughter.
When Garrett came over Nicole took Valerie out of the swing and walked up to him.
"This is your daughter, Valerie." she said to Garrett.
Garrett looked at her and then the baby.
He just stood there staring at Valerie.
"I cant do this right now." Garrett said and left.
Life went on. Nicole was still staying with Drew. Drew loved having her and Valerie there. Nicole and Drew were actually growing closer and closer, in fact Nicole started to feel like they were becoming a family. It was the day after Valerie's birthday and there was a knock at the door. Nicole opened the door and just stood there in shock.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Well this is where my daughter lives." Garrett said.
"Oh so after all this time you just pop in out of no where to see her."
"Can i come in? I actually came to talk to you."
She escorted him into the living. Valerie was sitting on the floor playing.
"Play?" Valerie said.
Garrett sat down with her and started playing with her.
"What do you want Garrett?" Nicole said.
He ogt up and walked over to her.
"You arent going to like this, Nicole." Garrett said.
"What?"
"You dont have a stable life or a job," Garrett paused. "I would like for Valerie to come live with me."
"You have to be kidding me. You cheated on me the day i told you about being pregnant and then you walked out on her the very first time you saw her. And now you think I should just give her to you. You are crazy! I have given her the best home i can and i might not have a job right now but she hasnt wanted for anything either."
"She is my daughter and i think its time i got to know her."
"I have never not let you see her or get to know her. The only one that has stopped you has been you."
"I dont want to fight about this Nicole. I just think its best. You dont know how long Drew is going to let you stay here. At least she will have a home to live in till she grows up."
"No you arent taking her. Get out!"
Nicole slammed the door in Garrett's face.
Thank you its a rough start but this is a first for me...lol
Nicole sat there staring at Valerie.
'What am i going to do?' Nicole thought.
"I cant lose you sweet girl." Nicole said starting to tear up.
"Lubs." Valerie said looking up at her mom.
"I love you too sweet angel."
Just then Drew walked in the door. He looked down at Nicole and Valerie and smiled.
"Have a good day?" he asked.
"Not really." Nicole said.
She got up from the floor and went over to the couch. Drew sat down beside her. Nicole looked at him and just started blurting out everything that had happened with Garrett. They sat there in silence for a minute.
"I think its time i got a house of my own. I found a good lead on a job." Nicole said standing up.
"You dont have to leave. I told you in the past that you can stay here as long as you want."
"But its time i stood on my own two feet. I have a daughter to think about."
Drew grabbed her hands and looked at her.
"Please dont leave. I can move to the fire house or whatever. You dont need to uproot Valerie, this is the only house she has ever known." Drew said.
"I cant take your house."
"Fine dont take it then just stay here with me."
"I cant." Nicole said starting to cry again.
"I dont want you to leave, Nicole. I want you to stay and be with me."
"Be with you?" Nicole asked looking up at him.
"Yes." he said leaning in and kissing her.
"What are you doing?" she asked looking shocked.
"I told you I wanted to be with you."
"I can't do this right now."
She walked over to Valerie and picked her up.
"What are you doing?" Drew asked.
"I am leaving." Nicole said heading for the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know but I can't stay here."
"Yes you can."
"I can't stay here with you."
"Okay, I will leave. I can go to the fire house and stay there for a couple of days."
"I can't ask you to leave your own house."
"You aren't asking I am volunteering."
Drew walked over to Nicole and grabbed Valerie from her and put her in her crib. He went into his room and grabbed a bag and came back into the living room.
"I will give you a couple days to think things over and see what you want to do." he said.
Drew walked out the door and headed for the fire house.
Nicole sat on the couch in the quiet house. She looked around and started thinking about everything Drew had said right before he kissed her. She liked him and she cared about him but did she want to be with him like that. Then she started thinking about Valerie. She loved her little girl. She was the best thing to happen to Nicole. Valerie strted crying breaking Nicole from her thoughts. She went into her room and got Nicole out of the crib. She gave Valerie a bottle and put her back in the crib. Valerie drifted back to sleep and Nicole went to bed.
Three days had passed, Nicole had not heard from Garrett and she was relieved. She had hoped that Garrett was just going to give up like he did in the past. The front door opened and Drew walked in. He walked up to her.
When she saw him she realized how much she missed him. She looked at him and gave him the biggest hug she had ever gave him before.
"I am so sorry I acted like that." she said.
"It's alright." he said. "Have you thought about it?"
"Yes I have."
"And?"
"I really missed you. I really do care for you. I don't think I would have gotten this far without you, Drew."
"You did it all on your own, Nic."
Nicole loved it when he called her Nic, it made her feel special.
"I think I am willing to try this if you still are. But I want to go slow, I have Valerie to think about."
A huge smile came across Drew's face.
"That is fine. I completely understand."
She gave him a hug and then they both sat on the couch. He looked at her for a few minutes.
"What is it?" she asked feeling self conscious.
"There is something I want to ask you." Drew said grabbing her hand.
"What is it?"
"Will you go out of town with me?"
"What about Valerie?"
"She will come with us of course."
"I guess if you want us to."
They packed enough clothes for a week. They got in the car and they went out of town.
"I have a surprise for you, Nic." Drew said.
"What is it?" Nicole asked looking curiously at him.
"Just follow me."
"Alright..." Nicole said hesitantly.
They walked up to the house.
"Oh my!" Nicole exclaimed.
Drew had the house rebuilt to accomidate all of them.
"I hope you like it. Valerie needs more room so she can grow." he said opening the door.
Nicole walked in and gasped. She loved everything Drew had done.
"I know its the same furniture but we can always upgrade everything as time goes on." Drew said.
"I love it. But why did you do this?"
"Like I said, Valerie needs more room."
There was a knock at the door. Nicole answered the door and Garrett was standing there.
"I'm here to see Valerie." Garrett said coldly.
Nicole escorted him in to the living room where Valerie was playing with Drew. Garrett looked at them and then back at Valerie.
"Can I play with my daughter." Garrett said sarcastically to Drew.
Drew got up and let Garrett sit where he was sitting. Drew looked at Valerie and walked into his room to get away from Garrett.
Hours had passed. Garrett got up from playing with Valerie and went over to Nicole. Valerie walked into Drew's room where he was and tugged on his pants.
"Play?" Valerie asked looking up at Drew.
Drew picked Valerie up and walked into the living room where her toys were to play.
Drew sat Valerie on the floor and they started playing.
"You don't think you changing your house around and mooching off this bum is going to get me to back off do you?" Garrett said pointing at Drew when he said bum.
"You don't know what you are talking about. Drew is not a bum. He has been more of a father to Valerie than you have ever been." Nicole snapped back at him. "I think its time you left."
Nicole opened the door motioning for Garrett to leave. Garrett walked over to the door and looked at her.
With hate in his eyes, he said "Dont think this is over."
"Its over, Garrett." Nicole said shutting the door behind him.
When she saw them on the floor reading a smile came across her face. Seeing Drew reading with Valerie seem to make all the stress from Garrett melt away. Drew looked up at Nicole and stood up. Valerie went to the toy box and started playing inside it.
Drew put the book away and Nicole walked over to him.
"I am so sorry about all this." she said.
"About what?"
"All this with Garrett and just everything."
"It will all be fine. Garrett is the problem not you or Valerie. I understand if i want to be with you i have to put up with him."
Valerie walked up to Nicole and tugged on her hand.
"Eat." Valerie said.
Nicole picked Valerie up and took her into the kitchen.
She snuggled Valerie.
"I am so sorry about this sweet girl." Nicole said feeling awful about fighting with Garrett in front of Valerie. "I love you so much."
"Loves." Valerie said back to Nicole.
Nicole put Valerie in the high chair and gave her some baby food.
Nicole went up to Drew.
"Can you watch her for a while? I think I need to put an end to this with Garrett." Nicole said.
"Sure. I got it covered."
Nicole was meeting Garrett outside the Bistro. When he finally showed up they sat down and started talking.
"We need to set some boundaries, Garrett. I cant have you coming over and causing trouble." she started.
"Trouble. I havent started trouble yet."
"Garrett please. We can not keep fighting in front of Valerie. Its not good for her and you cant just show up at the house anymore."
"She is my daughter."
"Yes i know but that is not my house. I am not saying that you cant see her. We just need to set up a day and time for you to see her or at least call and give me a day notice before just showing up."
"Okay, fine. But you want to put rules down, i have some. I dont want Drew there when i come over. And i really dont want her calling him dad." he said.
"I cant just ask him to leave his house, i mean its his house." she said.
"I think he will understand. You have said that is understanding in the past or has that changed?" he said smuggly.
"Fine i will ask him. Oh and Valerie wont call him dad, he is not her father, you are."
"Alright. Can i come over tomorrow to see her?" he asked.
"Lets just meet at the park instead tomorrow."
"Okay about 2?"
"Fine. I need to go and put her to bed."
Nicole got up and left to go home.
Nicole made it home.
"I am going to take a shower real quick, is that alright?" she asked Drew.
"Sure, go ahead. Bubbles and I will just play." Drew said.
"Bubbles?" Nicole asked looking at him strangely.
"Bubbles." he said picking Valerie up.
"Why Bubbles?"
"Cause i was bathing her earlier and she poured the bubble bath in the tub. She had a blast. She loves bubble baths." Drew said sounding proud.
"Okay..." Nicole said smiling.
When Nicole came out of the bathroom she saw Drew playing with Valerie.
The sight of them playing warmed her heart.
They sat at the park for a while. Garrett played with Valerie on the spring riders and then took her to play in the fountain.
Hours had passed and Nicole realized it was getting late.
"I think its time we went home." she said taking Valerie from the fountain.
"Alright. I will call you to set up another day out with her." he said.
"Alright that is fine."
Nicole and Valerie went home. She put Valerie to bed and came out to clean up the toys.
"Nic, if i call a babysitter would you go to dinner with me?" Drew asked.
"I guess." she replied.
Drew called the babysitter.
Once the babysitter arrived, Drew and Nicole went to the Bistro for dinner and then they went to Old Pier to watch the stars and to talk.
"Drew, i need to talk to you." she started.
"Alright." he started getting nervous.
"I talked to Garrett and we set up some boundaries for him seeing Valerie. We are going to start meeting at the park for him to see her." she said trying to avoid telling him about Garrett's demands.
"Okay, but why not just meet at the house?" he asked.
"I just think it will be easier if it was just me, him, and Valerie." she replied trying not to hurt his feelings.
"Well if that is what you think is best." he said supportively.
Nicole sighed with relief, that went better than she had hoped.
"Oh Nic, I am going to take that job offer i recieved last week." Drew said.
"Job offer?" she asked confused.
"Its with the military. I think the pay would be better."
"If that is what you want to do."
Weeks had passed and everything was going good. Nicole and Garrett were getting along great. She was actually enjoying meeting him in the park for him to play with Valerie. She and Drew were also getting along great. They had went on several dates and started being exclusive.
One afternoon Drew and planned on going to the beach for a picnic with the girls. They arrived at the beach and they walked down the beach and Valerie played with her bear. They ate dinner and sat there watching the waves wash on shore.
"Nicole, i want to ask you something." Drew said standing up.
"Okay."
"I dont have anything romantic to say or nothing like that but will you marry me anyways?" Drew said getting down on one knee.
"Yes...yes...yes...a thousand times yes!" Nicole squealed jumping into his arms.
The next morning Nicole and Drew were sitting at the table eating breakfast.
"I know i said i wanted to take thing slow but i would like to get married before Valerie's birthday. That is if that is alright with you." Nicole said.
"If that is what you want, that is what we will do."
"Garrett is coming over today to see Valerie."
"I will go some where else then." Drew said.
Drew went to the park so he would not have to see Garrett. As Drew was leaving Garrett was coming up. They didnt say anything to each other. Garrett went in the house and started playing with Valerie. It was an hour later and Drew came home.
"I thought he wasnt going to be here while i was here." Garrett said to Nicole.
"Well its his house. He probably thought you were gone already."
"Whatever, I need to go anyways." Garrett said heading to the door.
"Oh Garrett, we are going to have a birthday party for Valerie here at the house. You and Molly are welcome to come. I know it would mean a lot to Valerie." Nicole said.
"Is he going to be here?" Garrett asked.
"Well of course. Its his house and she is going to be his step-daughter."
"His step-daughter?" Garrett said shocked.
"Yes."
"You got to be kidding me. You're going to marry this guy?" Garrett said condescendingly.
"Yes, we are getting married."
"I cant believe you! I tell you i dont want her calling him dad or being here when i come here but you dont respect that. I have done everything that you have asked." Garrett said getting angry.
"For one Garrett, she will not be calling him dad and for another this is the first time he has been here since we set the boundaries." Nicole said defensively.
Garrett kissed Valerie on her head.
"I will call later to set up another play date." Garret said and he slammed the door shut.
"I am sorry Nic, I didnt think me coming home early last week would do this." Drew said to Nicole.
"Its not your fault." Nicole said sincerely.
"Are you going to try and meet him today?" Drew asked.
"He wont answer his phone so i guess not." Nicole said.
"Well since your day is free what do you say about having our wedding ceremony today?" Drew asked.
"Only if it is private." Nicole replied.
They had their private ceremony.
Three days later Drew got up early and started calling everyone they knew. He started making plans for Valerie's birthday party. He ordered pizza and a cake and had everyone show up at 1. Everyone showed up and was having fun.
"Make a wish sweet girl." Nicole said to Valerie before she blew out her candles. Valerie blew her candles out and had a piece of cake. As the party was winding down Valerie went to her mom.
"Mommy, where is my daddy?" Valerie asked looking for Garrett.
"Oh sweetie, I dont know. I am sorry he didnt show." Nicole said.
Valerie went to her room and started crying. Drew walked over to Nicole.
"He didnt show up cause of me, you know that." Drew said feeling bad for Valerie.
"If he cant put everything behind him for his daughter maybe she is better off without him." Nicole said trully believing that.
Later on that night Valerie finally came out of her room. She walked up to Drew.
"Can i ask you a question?" Valerie asked.
"Sure you can ask me anything."
"You love me right?"
"Of course i do, more than anything. I love you and your mother both more than anything. Why?" he replied.
"You have been here all the time right?"
"Yes, what are you getting at Bubbles?"
"Can i call you daddy?" she asked with tears in her eyes.
Tears came to his eyes.
"I think we should talk to your mom about this first, sweetie." he replied not wanting to break her heart.
Nicole got out of the shower and came into the living room. Drew looked at her and asked her to sit down with them.
"Mommy, can i call Drew daddy?" Valerie asked looking at her mother.
"Oh...uhm...Sweetie you know he is not your father though." Nicole said looking at her daughter tear up.
"But i want him to be. Please mommy please." Valerie started begging.
"Sweetie, if you feel that strongly about it go ahead." Nicole said hoping she wasnt going to regret this later.
Valerie jumped up off the couch and jumped into Drew's lap.
"Come read me a bedtime story, daddy." Valerie said excitedly.
Drew smiled at Nicole and mouthed 'I love you' to her as he got up to read to Valerie.
The next morning Nicole went to a job interview and went to the library to use the computer. When she got home she called Drew and Valerie into the living room.
Valerie, i signed you up for ballet class." Nicole said.
"Really?" Valerie asked excitedly.
"Yes, maybe that will help out in the afternoons cause....i got a job!" Nicole said proudly.
"Really?" Drew asked.
"Yes." Nicole said.
"Well we need to celebrate." Drew said.
They all went to dinner to celebrate Nicole's new job.
All week long Valerie tried calling Garrett, but it just went to voice mail. She didnt know what to do. She could talk to her mom about it again but all her mother would tell her is give it time again. She could talk to Drew about it but she didnt want to upset him. She tried to stop thinking about it by hosting a tea party with her teddy bear but that didnt work, so she started playing video games. Nicole came into the living room and called for Drew to meet her in there.
"Drew, i think we nee to expand the house a little bit." Nicole said.
"I dont think we can afford to right. It will use everything we have in savings to do it." Drew replied.
"Then where are we going to put the new baby?"
"I guess it will sleep in our room for a while....wait what?" Drew said shocked.
"I'm pregnant."
"You are....i am going to be a big sister!" Valerie exclaimed excitedly.
"Well i guess we can start expanding the house but it will take a lot...i will have to work overtime." Drew said.
They expanded the house and Drew worked a lot of overtime.
"Well its finally finished, baby." Drew said rubbing her belly.
Nicole smiled at him.
"The expansion is done?"
"Yep, it isnt much. There is a crib and a rocking chair but that is all you need right now for the baby."
Valerie walked in the house from school and finished her homework. She went up to Drew.
"Daddy, will i still be able to call you daddy after the baby is born." she asked feeling insecure.
"You will always be able to call me that as long as you want to. What brought this on?" Drew asked.
"I tried calling my real daddy everyday since my birthday but he wont answer his phone." she said looking down at the ground.
"Maybe he is just busy." Drew suggested.
"Or maybe he doesnt love me anymore." Valerie said starting to cry.
Drew sat her down on the couch and put his arm around her.
"I really dont think that is it. I think he just has a lot going on in his life." Drew said trying to make her feel better.
Nicole walked in the room about that and saw Drew and Valerie on the couch talking.
"Why dont you go play and let me talk to your mother." Drew said and hugged Valerie.
Valerie went outside to play.
"Nic, I have never said or done anything with this deal with you and Garrett but one of us need to talk to him." Drew started.
"What do you mean?" Nicole asked.
"Valerie needs him to either step up or go away. He needs to quit coming in and out of her life."
"I will try calling him and set up a play date and if he shows up i will talk to him." Nicole said.
"If you dont get any where i will step in...i love that girl like my own...she deserves better." Drew said starting to get angry.
"No this is between me and Garrett..." Nicole said.
Nicole got up to call Garrett but just then the new baby started to come.
She gave birth to a boy, Dillion.
