I Loved Her First

Total Annie and Jimmy ship, though his name is never mentioned and it's from the point of view of her father. Sorry I suck at summaries and I disclaim any association to owning said or hereafter mentioned characters, songs, or lyrics. As writer I just connect dots, lol rea and review.

Sunshine,

I stood there watching you tonight; on your wedding day. I saw the way you two looked at each other; you're in love Annie. The way you seemed alone in a room full of people, you were the only people in the world in that moment.

I remember when I was enough for you. You and me sunshine; going on our adventures together. You used to tell me how much fun you'd have on our adventures, and that smile you'd get on your face. You remind me so much of your mother.

Now hand the note over to your new husband I have a few words for him. She means the world to me, just so you know. I know I haven't been there for her but be careful, she's still my little girl. She's lived her life without me and I can't change that but I'm telling you now; I loved her first. From the moment I held her in my arms she wedged herself into my heart. Her first smile I was hooked had me wrapped around that little finger of hers and I never meant to make things difficult for her. I'd hoped she'd find someone to take care of her one day, and I regret not being able to be there to give her away. But I loved her first.

How could that woman I saw out on that dance floor be the same little girl that I used to know? I used to read her fairytales, before tucking her into bed. I knew that the first time I saw you together, you would be the one; just like in all the fairytales she loved.

But I loved her first, wrapped her in my arms first, and kept her safe first. It's hard that this letter feels like I'm giving her away; and if I'd gone to the wedding I would have had to actually do it, but it's still hard.

You'll understand how I feel someday son; when you have your own children. From the first breath they take and any smile they ever give you. Take care of my Annie.

Annie remember, I loved you first.

Love, dad.

A/N: Okay so if you've heard the song 'I loved her first' by HEARTLAND, you'll notice throughout I have used some of their lyrics and I in no way claim them or the characters of Chase. But can I just add that OMG, I just finished watching the show and am very disappointed by the fact that there are only eighteen episodes; gr. Anyways… Hoped you enjoyed it and remind you this is my first Chase fanfic so yeah, any reviews if people still read these fanfics would be nice.
