KAIDEN STIRLING

As I was about to shut the door, a little hand stuck through and I stopped the door from closing immediately. “Daddy,” my little girl called in her small voice and pushed the door wider for her to stand comfortably in the doorway. Just the sight of her gave me a mix of relief and joy.

Why had I not thought of going to meet my sweet bundle of joy, Hamper?

She was holding a dish with two large cream puffs in one hand and she was trying to stop the door with her other hand. “Hi baby girl,” I said and bet down to her height, grinning at her. “Hi daddy,” she smiled. “Can I come in?” She asked in a small voice that was so innocent, it melted my heart.

“Of course, princess, come in,” I said and took the dish of cream puffs from her and then held her hand that had been occupied.

She as

“Where have you been?” She asked climbing into the bed with a little struggle as I sat down. She looked up at me, waiting for my answer. “I’ve been up here,” I said with a smile, refusing to let her see the sorrow I was feeling. She is giving me relief and happiness I knew was only temporary, but I was going to savour it while she was here.

“Why? I was looking for you,” she said, reaching for one of the cream puffs. She lifted it off the plate and handed it to me. “You didn’t come down for dinner. I brought this for you,” she said

and tears filled my eyes. I blinked them back rapidly and looked away from her, covering my little slipup with a laugh.

“Aww thanks, princess.” I kissed her cheek and forced myself to take a bite of the cream puffs even though I had not appetite. She watched me as I chewed. “Mmmmh, this is good,” I grinned at her and smiled in return. “Did you make it?” I asked her and she shook her head. “No,” she smiled. “But I watched Catrina make it. She said she’ll teach me how to make it when I learn how to use my hands properly,” she said and then c**d her head to the side as she thought over the words.

I watched her, gradually coming to enjoy the cream puff I was chewing on. “That’s a little weird isn’t it?” She asked, raising her eyes to look at me before blinking. Her gorgeous eyelashes brushed her cheeks as she blinked. I fell in love with her all over the again. “What do you mean?” I asked, trying to understand her thought logic. She was very smart and I loved that she questioned things that she did not understand or think were right.

“I can use my hands quite well. I write and draw and I do some paper craft. Why does she think I can’t use my hands properly?” She asked. Her eyes watched my hand as I lifted the cream puff to my mouth and took a bite. I almost choked in the laugh that exploded through me. “You want some?” I asked and she hesitated before giving me a shy smile and nodding.

I grinned at her and pushed the plate to her. She shook her head. “I’m not going to have everything, daddy. I just want to take a bite,” she said and looked lifted the sugary cream puff off the plate. “Thank you,” she blushed and took a bite out of the cream puff.

“You like it?” I asked and she nodded, not wanting to talk through her mouthful. She chewed slowly, just like every other time she ate. I did not find it annoying. If anything, it was so adorable. It was part of the things that made her the cute, lovely girl she was.

“Another bite?” I asked when she was done chewing the first one and still looking longingly at the cream puff she had taken a bite out of. She nodded and I nodded. She smiled and raised it to her mouth again, taking another bite. Cream rubbed over the side of her mouth and I reached out to wipe it and then licked my finger.

“That’s gross, daddy,” she had to speak her strong opinion through the mouthful and I laughed. I shrugged and she smiled

at me.

“Daddy?” She called, looking at the cream puff again when she was done chewing. I stifled a laugh and watched her. Mine had been long gone. I enjoyed watching her do her own thing. “I’ll make you a hundred cream puffs when Catrina thinks I can,” she said and I laughed.

“Okay princess,” I said and she grabbed the cream puff and took a massive bite out of it, which was really small when compared to a massive bite I could take.

“When your hands are stable?” I asked and she nodded. I shook my head with a smile and kissed her forehead.
