Samantha arranged the pillows on the couch for Martin. Things had gone surprisingly well with Cecilia. Martin had decided to take a shower and Samantha could hear the water running. After Sam made coffee for the next morning and cleaned up a little, she decided to check on Cecilia. She was sound asleep. Samantha stood in the doorway smiling at her beautiful daughter. Martin came up behind her and put his hand around her waist. "Our daughter." Samantha whispered to Martin as he kissed her neck. Samantha closed Cecilia's door and spun around so she was face to face with Martin. She took his hand and led him into her bedroom. Once inside, Samantha kissed Martin. It was a long, meaningful kiss and neither one wanted to pull away. Samantha smiled at him after they came apart. "I'm glad you're back."
"I'm glad I'm back too. I should probably go hit the couch. Thanks for letting me stay here tonight, Sam."
"Good night." Samantha smiled softly as she watched Martin walk down the hallway, and pause briefly at his daughters' bedroom door. The news of him having a daughter was surprising for him, but he was happy about it. He did still feel guilty about having not known her for the first four years of her life. Samantha turned to her closet to get ready for bed.
