A/N: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Welcome to my first Paily One-Shot of the year and hopefully it won't be the last. I am going to try my very best to keep posting as many one-shots for Paily as I can.

So, over the passed week I have been watching old but new episodes/scenes from a show called All My Children. I think I have almost watched all scenes with Bianca in them. Bianca is my favourite character on AMC, I hate what they did to her romantic life, giving her someone and then having them cheat or killed off. Anyway, my point is, I set myself another challenge which was to write a story inspired by AMC for all my one-shot stories. This challenge took a few days but today, I finally finished it; which I am quite proud of.

Please enjoy this latest One-Shot of Paily ~KJ99

Daughter's Eyes and Falling In Love

"Mummy, Mummy, can we sing our bedtime song please?" My three year old daughter asked running into the living room.

"But, it's not bedtime. You don't want to go to sleep, yet? There's still plenty of time to play outside."

Mia replied with "I know but it makes me feel happy."

"What's wrong sweetie?" I asked lifting her up onto the couch next to me.

"Nothing Mummy, I just want to hear your singing voice."

"I'm glad someone likes my voice."

"Please Mummy," Mia repeated giving me her puppy-eyed look.

"Alright, my sweet baby-girl," I said kissing the top of her head as she moved to rest into my side.

Emily: "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 wanna be in my daughter's eyes." As I softly sung into Mia's ear, I remembered the process of Paige getting pregnant. The day we found out she was pregnant, that was the happiest day of our lives.

Emily: "In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal. Darkness turns to light and 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." Paige's mood swing where between cuteness to plain scary and mean. Then her demands for pickles and peanut butter, that one time I laughed was a very stupid idea. I slept on the couch for close to a week and only got back into our bed because Paige's missed my warmth.

Emily: "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." I smiled when Mia wrapped her little hand around my pointing finger, she always did when I sung it because she knew how happy that made me. I remember the first time I heard her heartbeat through the ultrasound machine. I swear my heart connect with hers the minute that sound echo in the room.

Emily: "It's hanging on when you 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." When Paige gave birth it was a rollercoaster of pain in my hand but nothing I was experiencing was close to what Paige was going through. But then when I heard that first cry, my heart just completely melted.

Emily: "In my daughter's eyes I can see the future. A reflection of who I am and what will be. Through 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." Finishing the song, I held tighter onto my little Mia.

"Yay!" Mia shouts when I finish the song.

"I love you Mummy."

"I love you too sweetie," I replied placing another peck upon Mia's head.

At hearing the door close, Mia squirmed to get off the couch and shout "Mum's home, Mum's home!"

"Go get her," I say laughing at her cuteness.

From the couch, I heard Paige say "Hi Pumpkin. I just love meeting you at the door, after I've finished working."

"Mummy sung me our song."

"Did she? I'm sorry I missed it."

"Maybe, she'll do it again?" Mia questioned.

"How about a duet?" I suggested standing against the duet.

"Mum voice not good," Mia answered. Paige gasping made me laugh.

"Hi," I say pecking Paige's lips.

"Hi," Paige replied.

"How was work?" I asked leading the two back into the living room.

"It was good. Natalie has come so far with her stroke rate, it's almost there and ready for comps next month."

"That's really good. No one injured, yet?"

"Nope, this is definitely going to be our year."

"I'm glad," I say stroking hair out of Paige's eyes. I was happy Paige was able to find a job she really loved doing and that involved our shared passion in swimming.

"Mummy?"

"Yes sweetie," I say giving Mia my fall attention.

"That sound, why is it our song?"

"Well, when your Mum told me she was pregnant it was playing on the TV. I was watching my favourite show."

All my children," Paige said with a smile.

"Exactly but it was in that moment when your Mum told me, you were on your way. I've been attached to that song ever since. I use to sing it to your Mum's belly all the time while you were growing inside."

"Cool," Mia said slipping off the couch and going to her toy box.

"We are so lucky to have a cool kid," Paige said as she moved to lay her head in my lap.

"Most definitely," I agreed as I run my fingers through Paige's hair.

I say looking into Paige's eyes "I had my appointment today with the doctor."

"What did he say?"

"If we really want to go through with this we can. In just a little over a year we could have another baby."

"That's amazing Em. So, big question do you still want another kid?"

"Yes. I want to experience everything you experienced with Mia and we were both only child's, it wasn't fun growing up. I want Mia to have a little sister or brother, someone who she can share a bond with like no other. I've seen that bond between Spencer and Melissa."

"Are they really the perfect examples? Did they hate each other until after college?"

"That maybe so but when it came right to it, Melissa was there for Spencer and it was vice versa. Sibling offer something that no one else can, it's a special and unique bond."

"Alright. Now we have to ask our princess," Paige said looking over at Mia who was currently colouring.

"Pumpkin, can you come here a minute?" Paige asked sitting up.

"Alright," Mia answered in a Paige like voice. I watched Mia put her crayon down and walk back over to us. Paige picked Mia up to sit on her lap.

Paige asked "Mia, your Mummy and I have been talking about changing our family for the last few months to years."

"How?" Mia asked innocent and cute.

"Well, how would you feel about having a baby sister or a baby brother?" I asked nervous, the last time I was this nervous I was down on one knee proposing to teary-eyed Paige.

"That seems cool."

"Really?" Paige asked worried.

"Yeah, it'd be cool to have someone else to play with and someone my height. Mummy's too tall for slides."

"Is that right?" I asked to which I received a nod of the head.

Paige said "Then it's settle we are going to have another baby." As I looked at Paige I could see tears close to forming in her eyes but she wouldn't let them fall.

"I have some news," I say on a shaky breath.

"What?" Paige and Mia asked.

"Please don't be mad at me, but I knew how you both would feel about another baby. So, I went through with the process today. I won't know until next week if it's taken but because I'm young and healthy, there's a good chance it has taken."

Paige questioned "Wait, so you. I mean there's. There might be a little person growing inside of you?"

"Yeah," I say enjoying Paige's reaction. Looking down at Mia who removed herself from Paige's arms and crawled over to where I had been sitting on the couch.

Mia placed a tiny hand on my stomach and said "Hi, my names Mia Hanna McCullers-Fields. I am your older sister, I hope you like me. We are going to have so much fun together because Mummy said so, and she's normally always right."

Mia asked looking at me "Can I go back to colouring?"

"Of course," I answer watching her slip off the couch and return to colour.

Paige said breathless "I can't believe you might be pregnant with our child. This is incredibly. Thank-you for loving me, I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you in my life and that this is my life."

"I love you so much Paige and I just want to make you happy."

"Every day you make me happy."

"Good," I whisper leaning over to peck her lips.

As I stand up Paige asked "Where are you going?"

"Dinner won't make itself, it's taco night."

"Yes!" Mia shouted in excitement of dinner.

Paige asked "Can I help with anything?"

"That's sweet but you are forgetting your kitchen ban you promised when we took vows."

"Come on, I can cook."

"Paige, you gave me food poisoning on our first date. I love you but you can not cook."

"Mummy's right Mum," Mia said to which Paige's lovingly glared at her.

I said "Don't worry babe, I like cooking for you."

"Thank-you," Paige said smiling over at me. With one last smiling glance, I left the living room for the kitchen. Before I even thought about cooking, I sent a group text to my closest family and friends stating 'baby on board.'

With my hand rest comfortably on my belly, I whisper sung "Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you. Shall I stay? Would it be a sin, if I can't help falling in love with you." I smiled at the thought of my baby kicking right now; however we have no idea if I am actually pregnant but I feel like I am.

Emily: "Like a river flows surely to the sea, darling so it goes. Some things are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life too for I can't help falling in love with you."

Paige: "Live a river flows surely to the sea," I looked up in surprise when I heard Paige starting to sing. I smiled when I saw her holding Mia in her arms as they looked directly at me.

Paige: "Darling so it goes, some thing are meant to be." Paige walked over to me with Mia. While placing Mia on her feet, Paige crouched on her knees and continue to sing towards my belly.

Paige: "Take my hand, take my whole life too." I inhaled deeply when Paige placed her hand upon my belly.

Paige: "For I can't help falling in love with you." I was unsure as to whether Paige was singing to the baby or too me because she was just staring up.

Mia: "For I can't help falling in love with you." Mia spoke the words as her own hand came to rest upon Paige's, it was the sweetest moment I had ever experienced with my girls.

"My girlfriends," I breath out pulling Paige to her feet and hugging her tightly.

"What about me?" Mia questioned.

"Sorry," Paige said picking Mia up again.

"I love you Mummy."

"I love you to sweetie," I say leaning forward to place a kiss upon her cheek.

"I love you to Mum."

"I love you to Pumpkin," like I had Paige placed a kiss on Mia's cheek.

"My girls," I breath out again pulling them both in for a tighter and longer hug. This new baby was going to feel so loved and welcomed into this family because that's how I felt every day. I loved this family, I had created and been so lucky to enter. It all started way back in sophomore year of high school when I joined the swimming team and meet the girl I was going to marry. Of course I had no idea at the time, she was just a fellow swimmer, fellow student. But little did I know, she would one day be my first love, be my wife, be the mother of my children and give me my second and third loves.

"I love you so much Paige," I whispered into Paige's ear as we continue to stand in the middle of the kitchen hugging like we hadn't for years.

The End.
