Phil's POV
The next morning Lisa and Liz went into town to do some shopping.
This gave me a chance to spend some time with Maddie.
"Hi Daddy."
"Hey baby girl you having fun playing with your dolls."
"Yep."
I sat down on Maddie's bed.
"Maddie can you come over here honey."
"What's wrong daddy."
"Maddie how do you feel about Lisa."
"Daddy I love her. She reads to me she plays with me. I don't ever want her to leave daddy."
All I could do was smile. It made me feel good knowing my little girl was so happy when Lisa was around.
Now that I had Maddie's outstanding approval all I could do now was sit back and wait for lisa.
Lisa's POV
Later that night.
It was 1am and I was in my room reading when I heard the sound of Maddie crying.
So I put on my robe and headed to Maddie's room to see if she was ok.
"Mommy no mommy come back mommy mommy.
I went into her room and walked over to her bed.
"Maddie, Maddie honey wake up."
She woke up with tears in her eyes and she jumped into my arms.
"Shh baby it's ok I'm here honey. Shh."
I kept rocking her but she just couldn't calm down.
"Maddie do you wanna come to my room."
She nodded wiping the tears from her face.
I carried her to my room. When I got in I placed her next to me on the bed. I had gone into the bathroom to get a wash cloth. I wiped her face and finally got her to calm down enough to tell me what was wrong.
"Ok honey now tell me what's wrong."
"I saw mommy. I tried to grab her but she left me. I wanted her to stay but she left me."
"Oh honey I'm sure mommy tried to stay with you but see your mommy was sick and she couldn't stay with you. But you know what your mommy is a angel remember when I told you that."
"Yeah."
"So even though your mommy isn't here on earth with you she is always going to be with you in your heart."
Maddie gave me a little smile and sniffled.
"You wanna stay in here with me tonight."
"Yeah."
"Ok tuck in here."
I turned off the light and Maddie Snuggled up to me. I kissed her head.
"Goodnight lisa I love you."
"I love you to Maddie, sweet dreams."
Within moments Maddie was sound asleep. And soon after that so was I.
Phil's POV
I went in to check on Maddie when I saw she wasn't there I thought maybe she was with lisa and I was right she was and they were both sound asleep.
I saw my little girl sleeping peacefully next to a women that I was falling in love with. All I wanted was for my little girl to be happy and have someone in her life she can call mommy and maybe just maybe that person could be lisa. I just hoped that one day soon lisa was feeling the same way about me that I was feeling about her.
