In My Daughter's Eyes

I look down at my daughter and smile...it's all I can do. Cause she's smiling back too. It's supposed to be impossible for a baby who is only a few days old let alone minutes old to smile...but she is. She's looking at me. With her big blue eyes. Her short blonde hair. She's beautiful. She's gonna be a heart breaker. Just like I was. She looks up at me with almost no fear. She looks like she sizing me up. I put down my pencil and run my fingers over her soft cheek. She giggles and rubs her face against my open hand. She's amazing. She's perfect. She's our Gaia. My Gaia. I love this thing that I'm holding in my arms more than anyone on this earth. More than my parents. More than I did Oliver. More than I do Katia. I love her more than Katia. And I thought that'd never be possible. You truly are Katia's daughter, Gaia. It was love at first sight. For both of you. She closes her eyes slowly as she yawns deeply. I chuckle. You're special. You know that. And don't let anyone take that away from you. You're going to change this world. She opens her eyes and I swear...

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero

I am strong and wise and I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue me

I see who I want to be

In my daughter's eyes.

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light. The world is at peace

This miracle God gave to me gives me

strength when I am weak

I find reason to believe

In my daughter's eyes.

And when she wraps her hand

around my finger

Oh it puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer

I realise what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough

It's giving more when you feel like giving up

I've seen the light

It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future

A reflection of who I am and what will be

Though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you see how happy

she made me

For I'll be there

In my daughter's eyes

Katia put down her pencil and looked up once more. Everything Tom had said and written in the last few days told her all she had ever wanted to know. Gaia was now a month old and Tom still found it hard to leave her. Tom dropped whatever he was doing when he heard Gaia make the slightest grumble. And it's normally because she's bored. He loves her so much. Gaia only cries now when she needs me. She doesn't cry when I leave the room. She doesn't cry when I'm late to give her a feed. Its like she's not scared that I might leave her. That I won't leave her right when she needs me. Tom had started a journal the day he found out I was going to have Gaia. And he's written in it almost everyday. Apart from the day that the letter came about two months ago. He left for a week. I still don't know where he went. He said he'd tell me soon. I asked again but it he still wouldn't tell me. I'm trying not to think about it but...how can I not... Now Gaia's here, he can't not tell me. But I'll try not to think about it. I won't. I wrote the song after reading Tom's journal. He doesn't mind me reading it. He says there shouldn't be anything that isn't told. Nothing that one another doesn't know about the other. I've told him about my past. He's helped me see it wasn't my fault. He's my best friend. No one else could do that for you. No, actually. Let me correct myself. He's not my best friend. He's my sole mate. I know it and believe it with all my heart. I never used to believe in the idea of one person matching perfectly with the other. But I do now. Especially now Gaia is here. She is what our love is. Pure beauty and absolute fearlessness.
Even if he is keeping things from me...

***~ Hello peeps! Just a little author's note: I don't own fearless.... Wish I did but hey...the song was originally sung by Martina McBride...dunno who she is but I saw it and felt it went with the books This is my first fearless fan fiction. I just thought this song was really appropriate for the books. Please review and stuff... Do you think I should continue? Thank you! Luv Lucy-Ann Xox ~***
