Secret Angel
Chapter 1
Feeling exhausted, I opened the door and walked in to my apartment. Locking the door behind me, I turn around and I'm faced with silence. 'Hmm, that's weird.' Gazing out over my living room I suddenly see a little lump behind the curtain, and then I hear the most beautiful giggle in the whole world. Chuckling, I inch my way over towards the lump and begin to tickle it.
"Mommy, s-stop it, MOMMY!" Still giggling, I didn't stop until my little girl was lying on the floor, out of breath from laughing so hard. Having just come back from a grueling case that lasted for five days, it was so nice to just laugh with my daughter. "How has my little angel been, have you been nice to Nikki?" Nikki Jones is the liv-in nanny I use whenever I have to travel for work. (Unfortunately, that is a lot…) She is a 23 year old girl who is taking some college classes online, so being a babysitter is the perfect job for her right now.
Right then Nikki came out from the kitchen saying "she has been the perfect little angel which you already know from skyping with us every night since you left" Kahlan was nodding vigorously where she was laying on the floor. Smiling, I picked her up on my hip and told Nikki that she could take the weekend off and to have some fun for once. She just laughed before kissing Kahlan on the cheek and leaving.
"So, I guess you have me all to yourself this weekend, what do you want to do sweetie?"
"I wanna go to the park, momma!" she said with all the bravado a two and a half year old could put on, stretching her arms in the air with a wide smile with dimples on her face.
"Then the park it is, but it will have to be tomorrow, because it is bedtime for little princesses now"
"But I'm not a princess, silly mommy. I wanna be like you, and kick badass!" She makes this cute ninja move with her hands, making me chuckle. Kissing her on the forehead I tell her that she will always me my little princess no matter what she does.
After reading a story for her, Kahlan falls right asleep in her little bed, clutching the bear that I got her when I found out I was pregnant. Looking down at her while she breathes evenly I can't help but smile, she is like a mini-version of myself. I was kind of surprised as she grew, that I almost couldn't see anything of her father in her appearance or actions. The only thing she have from him are his dimples.
Not wanting to think about him, I start thinking about the team. I still feel guilty for not telling them I have a daughter, but I don't want her involved in that world in any way, and I also know that they will ask who the father is and they can't know! I already got the third degree from my old team and I don't need it from this new one too. It's not like I planned to get pregnant. It was an accident, but even so, I was not prepared to take another abortion, so I had her. And I've never regretted it since, Kahlan is the light of my life, she is the reason why I do what I do, to make the world a safer place for her.
I yawn, feeling the day catch up with me, so I go to bed dreaming about tomorrow.
