A/N: I hope you add up more of your reviews cause they keep me going! :D thank you for your reviews up to this chapter. I couldn't reply to you cause i'm not rich in time aw.

"Daddy,"

Even if Roy doesn't entirely understand what's going on, he couldn't help but frown and approach his daughter, or so they say. He held hands with her and felt like there has been something missing from him all this time, but now he finally found it.

Hailey broke into a heart-warming smile and gripped her father's hand a little tighter. Roy returned the smile and hesitantly reached his free hand to stroke her pale cheek. Thousands of questions were demanding to be answered in his head.

"Hailey," he muttered nervously. "Just how old are you?" As if he didn't know. He just wanted to make sure.

"4." She croaked in a cute voice.

Roy gasped lightly as he tried to count back mentally. 5 years ago, it was the last time he and Riza met before she left. It was near Christmas night. The smarty-pants he is, he already realized it almost instantly. There was no doubt. This girl is his daughter. His and Riza's. Unbelievable.

He stared at Hailey's face and scanned her features. Everything came from Riza. But he fixed his gaze on her eyes. It was his eyes. Perfect dark obsidian, midnight black, purely stunning. He wished he realized it sooner. But why didn't she tell him even in a single note?

"I'm so glad you're finally awake." He sighed in relief. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, daddy." She smiled.

The hospital door creaked open and there rushed inside the girls. They all beamed when they saw their niece's pretty little eyes open and a graceful smile dancing on her lips as her father was beside her holding her hand and stroking her cheek. It was a touching view. An amazing reunion for the family who was once broken but now fixed.

"I see you finally knew," Raven stated, crossing her skinny arms on her chest.

Roy sighed and nodded once. "Yeah, I have."

"I'm sorry we kept it from you."

Roy's eyes showed pain and sadness. "I wish I have known all this time." He sighed and stroked his daughter's beautiful blonde hair.

The girls went home early to entertain more guests at the bar and to inform their mother about their niece's condition. Roy willingly stayed behind to watch over his long lost baby with Riza.

Hailey was able to sleep soundly and content in her father's big warm arms. It's as if she thinks that her daddy will shoo away all the monsters lingering around and inside her head. Roy sat down on the hospital bed, cradling her, as she clutched the front of his shirt with the hand without the IV. Riza sat down just in front of them reading a pocket book, smiling slightly at the view.

She glanced up at them and smiled bigger, this time Roy saw her face.

"Why are you smiling like that?" He asked with a chuckle.

"She's very fond of you now, isn't she?" She grinned at him.

"Well daddy is fond of his little daughter too." He smirked playfully.

Riza stood up from the bed and settled her pocket book on the side table. "I'll go buy the toys from a while ago." As soon as she turned around, Roy's smirk turned to a frown.

"Riza," he muttered under his breath.

"hmm?"

"Why have you never told me anything?"

She stopped from her tracks but didn't turn around. "I really have to go." Before he could say anything, she was already outside with the door securely shut. He sighed in defeat and looked down on the little blonde in his arms. He couldn't hold back a grin and he touched her cheek lightly.

"You're so beautiful." He said, "Perfectly stunning just like your mother." Hailey stirred a little as he said so. "To be honest, I don't know anything about you and about what happened after she left me. A lot has been riding on my mind and I can't think straight. I want to know everything, but it seems like your mother doesn't want to talk about it."

Hailey stirred in his arms a little. "Daddy," she muttered drowsily. "Daddy, I want to meet you so bad." After a while, her breathing slowed telling him that she went back to sleep.

"Heh. You sleep talk, eh?" He said, amused. Staring at her made him think of a brilliant plan so he shook her carefully until she woke up. "Hailey, can you tell daddy something?"

"Hmm, what is it?" She yawned while rubbing her eyes.

"Can you tell me everything about your life in Xing?"

Riza got back to the hospital room with her hands filled with new toys, all for Hailey. As she opened the door, she was surprised by Roy when he got up and hugged her intimately. She stumbled back a bit and almost dropped the toys.

"Roy what-"

"I love you, Riza." He said.

Riza smiled and pulled out of his embrace to empty her hands. She took a glance at her now awake daughter and gave her a smile as well. She then felt his arms wrap around her from behind. Roy felt her stiffen but calmed down her muscles right away.

"Roy, what are you doing? Hailey is watching us." She scolded him but refused to move.

He chuckled loudly and held her tighter. "So what? Don't you want her to see daddy spend some quality time with mommy?"

Riza's face turned crimson red at his statement while Roy winked at Hailey and she gave him a satisfying smirk. Riza sighed in defeat and grabbed the toys again. It was no use trying to argue with Roy. He kissed the top of her head before she could release herself from him to approach Hailey.

"Hailey, I know it's very late but Merry Christmas."

Hailey beamed at the presents and hugged her mother. Riza turned to Roy and cleared her throat. Roy looked at her quizzically and quirked an eyebrow.

"Well? Mommy already gave a present. How about you?"

Roy mentally cursed himself. He embarrassingly eyed Hailey and said, "Well I only knew she was my daughter today so I wasn't able to prepare. But, tell me anything you want and I will give it to you." He knows kids. If they are offered such a huge opportunity, they ask for the biggest and most expensive thing they could ever think of. He prepared himself to withdraw a lot of money from the bank in case she asked for something too expensive. But to his surprise, Hailey's answer wasn't what he expected any four-year old would ever say.

She shook her head and gazed at her parents. "I don't want anything, daddy. My dream has come true. Mommy and daddy are together and daddy accepted me and we are now complete." She answered wholeheartedly. Riza wanted to embrace her daughter for giving such a lovely answer, but she's afraid she might end up crying at the wrong time.

Roy grinned at Hailey and realized how Riza-like she also is. He's beginning to love his daughter more and more because of it. He took a mental note to stay by his little family from now on and protect and support them, especially after Hailey told him everything. "Alright, then. Whatever you say." He grinned bigger and threw an arm around Riza's shoulders to pull her closer.

"But what do I do now that I already have my dream?" Hailey asked.

Riza chuckled and placed her arm behind Roy's waist. "That's easy. You get to find a new dream." She looked up at Roy with a big smile and he leaned down to press his lips quickly on hers, much to everyone's surprise.

I say, all is well.
