Later that morning when the two lovebirds had managed to roll out of bed, Otis gave Abby one more kiss before he departed to his leadership duties for the day. After that romantic night, Abby was happier and more delighted than she had ever been. In fact, she was so full of bliss that she didn't realize she was skipping around the barnyard humming with her eyes closed, daydreaming about Otis. She plucked a flower from the grass and sniffed it with a sigh of content (like you'd see in old-fashioned romance movies). Abby continued to dance around and hum her songs of joy, and little did she know she was attracting everyone's attention. Hardly anyone knew what had happened last night, so she received puzzled stares. Abby continued to skip around, unaware of how foolish she looked, until she knocked right into someone. -WHAM! Abby snapped out of her daydream, and gasped to see her and Daisy both on the ground.

"Daisy, I'm so sorry!" Abby exclaimed in an apologetic and embarrassed tone. "I-I don't know what's gotten into me today..."

"Nevermind it; it's fine," Daisy simply replied.

Abby didn't miss one second of the firm and upset tone in Daisy's voice. She also noticed Daisy refused to make eye-contact with her and wore a rather angry expression on her face. She didn't understand; Daisy had been so caring and compassionate last night while Otis was tending to her wounds. And she couldn't have been mad about Otis spending the night with her, because nobody knew about it - or so she thought.

Whatever. She isn't worth my time anyways, Abby thought, and simply shrugged and walked off. Daisy had brought enough problems to the barnyard already; she didn't want more to deal with. Not only that, but ever since Daisy had returned, Abby had noticed that a lot of her friends weren't spending as much time with her anymore. Amongst these friends, the worst was Bessy. Bessy barely even hung out with Abby anymore; it seemed like all her time was now consumed with Daisy. Abby tried to fight the jealousy back by telling herself, She was Daisy's life-long friend and they've been away for all this time; you can't blame her. She knew her before you. But she still couldn't resist the bitter, angry feelings she had. She felt like everyone liked Daisy better.

Oh well, at least I know Otis loves me, and I'm the gal in his life. That's all that really matters.

Later that day in the early afternoon, Otis had just finished his inspection of the farm and was returning back to the barnyard. As soon as he began heading back, he was approached by Daisy with Genebelle close behind. Great, he reluctantly thought to himself, what is it this time? Even if Genebelle was his daughter, every time he looked at her he saw a lie. None of it seemed real to him. Usually fathers never experienced these feelings about their children, but Otis did.

"Hi Otis," Daisy gently greeted.

"Hey."

"I think it's about time for you to meet your daughter," Daisy said with a serious and firm look in her eyes.

Otis would've given anything to find an excuse run; in fact, he considered turning tail as fast as he could. But as far as he was concerned, Genebelle could be at the barnyard forever. He was going to have to face the situation eventually; running from it would just be useless. He nervously scratched his neck and attempted to smile.

Daisy motioned Genebelle forward, and said, "Otis, I'd like you to meet your daughter, Genebelle."

"Hi Genebelle," Otis greeted. As he looked into her eyes, he felt like he was looking into the eyes of a stranger. He saw no reflection of himself in the young cow.

"Hi...dad," the young cow responded with an uncertain smile.

Otis hesitantly smiled and said, "It's nice to meet you for the first time."

"Same for me," Genebelle grinned.

As Otis turned to look away for a second, he caught something peculiar in the corner of his eye. He thought he saw Genebelle turn and look at Daisy, and Daisy give her a little nod as if signaling something. Then, to his surprise, she turned back to Otis and said, "I didn't know I have two mommies."

"What?" Otis asked, raising an eyebrow.

Genebelle pointed to Daisy. "This is my mommy, and the girl you were with was my step-mommy, right?"

Otis began to feel nervous. "What girl?"

"The girl you were in bed with this morning."

Otis's mouth literally dropped to the ground, and his heart began to pound. Genebelle had seen them? Together...in bed?! Droplets of sweat began to form on his forehead, and before he could run, Daisy cut in.

"We know, Otis. We caught you two this morning." Daisy looked at him with a face of anger and disgust.

Otis couldn't believe this. He had been sure no one had seen them. Daisy was the worst to know; she had been his first love. Now she would never stop bothering him about it, and would view him differently. Otis found himself speechless, and as hard as he tried to force words out of his mouth he couldn't. He just looked fearfully at the two cows, who were expecting an explanation from him.

"Well?" Daisy crossed her arms.

"Wh-what?" Otis replied innocently.

"What did you think you were doing? You have a family here now, and you pull this sleazy stunt with her?!" Daisy glared at him.

Otis grunted in frustration. "Daisy, you may have been my first love, but you are not my wife! You can't control what I do. Abby is my girlfriend. Sorry, but I love her now. I wasn't going to leave her by herself when she was hurt so badly, and it was my fault she got hurt in the first place. I was tired, so she insisted I rest...with her."

Daisy sighed in aggravation. "That's a lame excuse, Otis. You didn't have to stay with her the whole night."

"Yes I did, because I care for her and wanted to make sure she was okay. And we were already a couple before you returned. Just because you came back with unreliable news that I have a daughter doesn't mean Abby and I should just drop our relationship for you to pick up on."

As Daisy opened her mouth to say something, she paused for a moment and stopped herself. She sighed, and turned away with Genebelle. She had clearly been beaten by Otis's words and had nothing else to say. Otis attempted to fight off the guilt by telling himself, It's the truth. She needs to stop coming in and trying to control me and Abby's relationship. Otis still felt a pang of sorrow deep inside, for he had loved Daisy immensely at one point. Full of mixed feelings, he decided to return to the barnyard hoping that some lunch would calm his thoughts.

The next morning, as Otis was heading out of the barn for his morning stroll, he caught sight of Ben nearby. Otis smiled and greeted, "Hey, Ben! What's up?"

However, Ben was acting rather vexed upon seeing his "dad". He snorted and turned away in reply. Otis cocked his head in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?" He had never seen Ben act this way before. Then again, he hadn't known him for long.

Ben swung around to meet Otis face-to-face, and hollered, "How could you betray Mom like that?!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I mean! You cheated on her! Who was that girl you were in bed with, anyways?!"

Sweet cud. He knows too?! I just want this all to end already! Otis grumbled reluctantly to himself. He had forgotten to tell Ben that he wasn't married to his mom and had another girlfriend. He cleared his throat, "Ben, I'm sorry; I didn't get a chance to tell you the other day...your mom and I were never married. She left the barnyard shortly after you were born so we never got a chance to. And the girl I was with was Abby. She's my...girlfriend."

Ben's mouth dropped and he scratched his head in confusion. "What! All this time I thought you and mom had been married! Well, anyways, if you're both my parents, how could you go off with another cow when you've got us to think about?! You're my dad and you should remain with my mom. I thought you two loved each other."

Otis explained the whole story to Ben; the story of how Daisy left, Abby's arrival, the ongoing feelings they had for each other, how he never thought he'd see Daisy again, etc. He decided not to tell Ben that he wasn't his real father, though. He'd leave that up to Daisy. Otis just wanted to run away from everything and hide. He didn't want to deal with Daisy controlling his and Abby's relationship, or the idea of having a daughter with Daisy. All of this was taking over his life.

Once he and Ben had departed, Otis ran into his stall, locked the door, threw himself onto his hay bed, and screamed.

Poor Otis...=( Daisy is completely ruining his and Abby's relationship and lives with all this!! What's next to come?! Find out soon!

Yeah...I don't even think I need to say it. You all know how extremely sorry I am for taking forever to update. I just can't plan out my schedule or updates anymore. School is taking over my life, I had total writer's block, and my life is becoming very hectic. I really wish I'd have more time to update, but I really don't know if I'll be able to update a lot until the summer. Plus, I'm taking the test for my driver's permit tomorrow, so wish me luck on that!! :3 I'm really nervous. Anyways, I hope you guys liked this chapter!

I apologize that this chapter isn't very long. I had huge Writer's Block, and after the romantic moment in the last chapter, I wasn't sure on how to make this chapter better or more exciting. I want to thank Diweez for giving me the ideas for this chapter and helping me out of my Writer's Block of misery. =D THANK YOUUUU!!!
