A/N: Hey there! I don't have a beta, so all mistakes are mine. And there might be a lot, sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the shows, though I wish I did. I also don't own any of the characters from those shows. Again I wish I did, but I don't, sadly. I hope you enjoy. : )
Max was driving home from work wanting to get home to his beautiful daughter, his little star. Tonight they were going to be watching a shooting star. That's why he's excited to get home, and because he had a bad day at work.
He is a professional photographer, and these people he was working on told him that they can take better photos than he can. He almost told them that he went to college for this shit, so no, they can't take fucking better photos than him. But their paying customers so he had to shut his mouth and take it.
He started to get worked up, so he took a deep breath to try and calm down. It doesn't work. He tries thinking about tonight and his daughter. He smile's just thinking about, he can't wait to get home and see her. He missed her so much, when he was at work today.
He turns his orange Jeep Wrangler on the street he lives on and drives towards his house. His house is really big with only two people living in it, but it's big enough to fit maybe more than five people comfortably. That's one of the perks of the job, it pays good. Another perk is that he actually loves photography, it's kind of a win-win situation even if sometimes he has bad clients.
He see's his house and turns into the driveway of it. He parked his car, unbuckled his seat belt, picked up his bag that had his work stuff in it, and opens the car door and gets out. He closes the car door and starts walking to the house's doorway while getting the keys to the house out of his bag. When he made it to the door he unlocks it, then he opens it and walks inside.

Skylar was in the living room on the floor drawing a picture of the shooting star she is going to see tonight. She was so excited about going outside on their balcony and looking through the telescope- (That she got on her 2nd birthday.) -to see the stars in the sky and the shooting star with her dad.
Skylar was just finishing up her drawing when she heard the front door open. She started to hurry and finish her drawing so she can show it to dad. She could hear her dad and nanny talking in the foyer, so she finished the last detail in the drawing then she stood up fast and ran to the foyer to her dad, leaving the drawing on the table.

Max walks through the front door and into the foyer. He puts his car keys in a bowl that's on a dresser in the foyer. He then takes off his jacket and hangs it on the coat rack in the corner. Max turns after he's finished and watched as Marie- (Skylar's nanny) -walks in.
"Hello Max, how was work?" Marie asked, smiling.
"Let's just say i'm glad to be home, more than usual." Max answered. Marie chuckles a little at that answer.
"Anyway, how was sky today?" Max whispers incase his daughter was listening to them talk.
Marie's smile gets bigger and she leans in closer to whisper too. "She's excited about the shooting star you guys are going to be looking at tonight. But other than that she was good today."
Max nods, smiling, glad his daughter was excited about tonight. "Oh, and she hasn't taken a bath today yet." Marie said before she forgets.
"Okay, thanks for telling me. I'll get her to take a bath before the shooting star starts." Max said, looking at his watch to see how much time they have until it starts. "Oh," He looks up from his watch. "by the way where is she?" He asked Marie.
When Max just finished asking the question, Skylar ran in. "Daddy!" Skylar said loudly, she runs and hugs him, hard.
"Ohmpf!" Max lets out when his daughter tackled him. "Well hello there." He hugs his daughter back and closes his eyes, letting the tension he gained from work leave him.
"Come on!" Skylar let go of her dad, took his hand, and pulled him to the living room to where her drawing was, "Look, look!" she let go of him, grabbed her drawing, and showed it to her dad excitedly.
Max looked at the piece of paper and took it gently from her. "Wow," He looked at the drawing in awe. "this is beautiful, Skylar." He bended down and hugged her with tears in the corner of his eyes. Skylar's mother could draw so beautifully. He guessed Skylar got that from her. Which he thought was amazing, it just hurt him sometimes. He missed her so much.

Marie came into the living room and leaned on the doorway, she watched father and daughter have a moment. Max opens his eyes. He saw Marie and smiled, still hugging his daughter. He let go of her, kissed her forehead, and nods to Marie.
"I think it's time to say goodbye to Marie." Max said, looking down at Skylar. She nodded and ran to Marie to give her a hug. "Bye, bye!" Her farewell slightly muffled. She let go and walked back to her dad.
Max stood up from his position on the floor, walked Marie to the door, and thanked her for taking care of Skylar. "Bye." Max and Skylar said while they waved to Marie from their spots in the open door.
Max closed the door after Marie's car was out of sight. "Come on," He said, picked up Skylar and carried her to the master bath. "it's time to take to take a bath." He put her down and started running the water to the bath.
"NO!" Skylar flopped down on the tile floor, crossed her arms, and pouted. Max turned to look at Skylar and sighed, he knew she was going to do that, that's why he lets Marie deal with it everyday.
Max straightened from his bended position and looked down at Skylar. "It's either that," He pointed at the now full bathtub. "or no watching the shooting star tonight." Skylar pouted harder.
"Well, which one is it going to be?" He looked at her waiting for her answer. Skylar stood up, got undressed, and got into the bathtub, still pouting. Max had a tiny smile on his lip's. "That's what I thought." He sat next to the tub and helped her. Skylar stopped pouting after awhile and started playing with some of her toys that were in the tub.

Max and Skylar are now on the balcony, building the telescope, well Max is building it and Skylar's watching. Their both in freshly cleaned pajamas.
"Ugh," Max made, having trouble trying to build the telescope. "Why couldn't they make building this easier." Max mumbled to himself.
Skylar giggled when something fell to the ground. It happened right after Max tried to put another piece together for the telescope. Max sits back and sighs.
Max took in a deep breath and released it. "Okay, lets try this again."
He got back up and tried to fix the thing that fell off. He looked at the instruction's one more time, then did some things to the telescope, and backed away.
"Aha! Finally it's done." Max spreads his arms presenting the now built telescope, and smiled really big at Skylar.
Skylar giggled and clapped her hands. She got out of her seat and went around the telescope, looking at it.
She then looked at her dad and smiled brightly, like a star, she jumped up and down, pointing at the telescope.
Max chuckled at her reaction. He looked at the sky to see how dark it was, then looked at the time on his phone.
"Hmm, i'm sorry sky, it doesn't start until an hour from now."
Skylar looked down and pounted. Max saw this and suggested something to her.
"How about we go and watch some T.V. for a little bit, and then come back out here later? We'll even get out some of the junk food snacks that we have." Max asked.
Skylar looked back up at that last part and nodded her head, but was still pouting.
"Okay, come on let's go see whats on and see what snacks we have." Max said. He picked up his daughter and walked inside.
—
The credits started rolling from the show they were just watching. Max stretched from his spot on the couch and picked up his phone to see what time it was. Skylar also stretched beside her dad, and yawned.
Max watched his daughter with a small smile. "Do you want to go to sleep?" He asked teasingly, knowing what her answer was going to be.
Skylar perked up and now looked like she wasn't tired at all.
"No!" She replied fast.
Max laughed lightly. "Okay, it starts soon, so let's go look at the stars while we wait."
He stood up from the couch, then bended down to pick up Skylar. Skylar held on to her dad like a koala and laid her head down on his shoulder.
Max smiled at the action, she is so adorable when she's sleepy, well she's adorable all the time, but she's extra adorable when she's sleepy.
Max walked to the balcony door with a little girl like koala in his arms. He opened the sliding door and walked out into the dark.

Max was showing Skylar some of the constellations he knows while they waited for the shooting star to start. It was a perfect time of night, too. No clouds blocking the stars. No lights polluting the dark sky. Just a good old dark sky with shiny, bright stars.
"Look! There it is." Max pointed to the little ball of fire that was crossing the sky.
Skylar's jaw dropped. She had a look of awe in her eyes.
"Wow." She breathed out in a tiny whisper.
"Don't forget to make a wish, Sky."
Skylar nodded her head and closed her eyes to make a wish. But then she remembered something. She opened her eyes to look at her dad.
"You have to make a wish, too, daddy!" She said, though not quite having her w's right, yet.
"Okay, okay, i'll make a wish, too." He closed his eyes with a small smile on his lips.
He tried to think of something to wish for, but he couldn't come up with anything.
Skylar smiled brightly and closed her eyes, too. She wished for her dad's wish to come true. She wanted her dad to be as happy as he was before her mom left.
She doesn't really remember her mom that much, but she does know that her dad was happier when her mom was around. She wanted her dad to be that happy again. She hopes that his wish makes him that happy again.
What Skylar doesn't know was that someone was listening, and decided to make the wish come true.
Max opened his eyes after he wished for something he just thought of on the spot. He didn't want to lie to his daughter about wishing for something, so he just came up with something and wished for it.
"Okay, there I wished for something."
"Yayyy." Skylar started to say but it ended in a yawn. She blinked rapidly to try and stay awake.
Max yawned, too. He then stood up from his seat.
"Lets get to bed."
He picked Skylar up. She instantly laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
Max walked inside into the loft area and continued to walk to the hallway that was across from the balcony. He headed to the second door on the left and walked inside Skylar's room.
He looked to his left shoulder where his daughter was, and saw that she was asleep. He walked to the bed softly. He put her down on the bed gently and tucked her in.
Max leaned down and kissed his daughter's forehead.
"Goodnight, my beautiful star."
Max headed to the door and started closing it, but he left it open an inch. He walked downstairs to his bedroom. He did his nightly routine, then got in on the left side of the bed.
He turned off the lamp that was on the beside table. He stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, then turned his head to look at the right side of the bed. That was empty.
A tear rolled down the side of his face and onto the sheets. He rolled over to where his back was facing the right side of the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep dreaming of what was on that side of the bed, a little over a year ago.
A/N: I hoped you enjoyed it. And I hope there wasn't to many mistakes. I'm not very good with updates, so they might not come very often. But if you guys liked it, and it's taking me to long to long to update it. Then just tell me. I will get right on it.
