It had been four months since Melody and Patrick's daughter, Katelyn was born. Melody and Patrick had gotten married two months ago with their daughter witnessing them getting married. Melody was with Katelyn while Patrick was doing reformations. Katelyn was crawling over to her and saw a picture of Patrick. The four-month-old pointed at the photograph.
"You wanna see daddy?" Melody asked the baby girl. The girl pointed again.
"Take that as a yes." Melody picked her up and left the house to see Patrick. Both parents adored their little girl.
He was outside doing army stuff. Katelyn stayed quiet and as soon as the army was done. Patrick saw them and smiled.
"What are my two beautiful girls doing here?" he asked as he approached to them.
"Katelyn wanted to see you." Melody said and saw the four month old reaching her arms out to her daddy. He smiled and he picked her up. He threw her up in the air lightly so that he won't drop her. She giggled with joy. He smiled widely and tickled her tummy. She smiled happily.
"Patrick?" Melody asked.
"Yes, Mel?"
"I'm going to be making dinner. What do you want?" Patrick thought about it for a moment.
"Surprise me."
"Okay." Melody kissed him and took Katelyn from him.
"I'll see you two later." Katelyn started crying and Patrick picked her up making her stop crying.
"I'll be home soon, princess. I promise." he said to his little girl.
When the girls got home, the family's golden retriever mix Bambi ran towards them with excitement. Katelyn squealed with joy wanting to play with her. Melody smiled and put Katelyn down.
"Okay, baby girl. You can play with Bambi." She put her down and started to make dinner. Melody made sure that both Katelyn and the dog were playing safe. Bambi was licking the little girl and Katelyn giggled. Patrick came home ten minutes later and saw his daughter playing with the dog.
"Mel, I'm home!" Patrick yelled and he knelt down picked Katelyn up.
"In the kitchen." Patrick walked in with Bambi following them. Melody put the dog food down for the golden retriever mix. Bambi ate her dinner and Katelyn rubbed her eyes.
"Someone's tired." Melody said as she saw her daughter falling asleep.
"I'll put her to sleep." Patrick said and he went upstairs to her nursery. Bambi followed them. The solider looked down and smiled. "You wanna say good night to Katelyn, Bambi?" Bambi barked happily. Patrick knelt down and Bambi licked the little girl happily. The golden retriever mix ran and Patrick put his girl down in her crib and kissed her forehead.
"Night, princess."
Melody and Patrick were sleeping in their room with Bambi on the edge of their bed. It was raining and thundering. Just there was a loud sound of thunder and Katelyn started crying. Patrick got up and went to her room and picked her up from her crib.
"Hey. It's alright. It's just thunder. Daddy's here, princess."
"Patrick, is she alright?!" Melody yelled from their room. Katelyn stopped crying and Patrick laid her back down in her crib. He walked back to his and Melody's room.
"What happened?" Melody asked her husband.
"Thunder woke her up. Nothing you don't need to worry about." Patrick said stroking her hair.
"Okay."
"Good night, Mel."
"Night. I love you.
"I love you too." They fell asleep until morning.
