Intro
I woke up to the sound of Kiara crying through the baby monitor. When I started to get up, I saw that Alex was already up, putting on his shorts.
“Go back to sleep, babe; I got her.” he told me as he left the room. I smiled and laid back down. I thought that I was going back to sleep but the thought of me and Alex back together kept my eyes slightly open. The thought of us being a family again made me smile in general. The thought of us finally getting married warmed me. And… the thought of Kiara seeing her father again got me out of bed; it was something that I had to witness. I found his t-shirt on the floor and went to her room. She loved Alex and would always talk her gibberish to him when he was around. However, I had heard nothing. I glanced in and saw that he was holding her, her head resting on his shoulder. She had her small arms around his neck as best as she could get them and a slight pout on her face.
“You missed daddy, didn’t you? I’ve missed you too, princess…” he half-whispered, choked up. Hearing him, she wrapped her arms tighter around him; it was all I needed to be moved to tears.
I tried to be quiet, to let them have their moment but my sniffling caused him to turn towards me. Tears threatened to fall from his own eyes as he held his daughter tighter.
“… I miss this. I miss this so… much. I’ll never hurt you like that, ever again. I’ll never leave you two… never…”
“Alex…” I immediately went to him. He wrapped an arm around me, drawing the three of us together and kissed both of our foreheads.
