Chapter 14

"Papa will I go to school with you again in the morning?" Bella asked.

"Yeah baby." he said, smiling.

"Yay!" she squealed. She hugged him. "Papa you're wonderful."

He chuckled. "Thank you Bella."

"Are we going to learn how to read little words today?"

"Well, that is what I told the class on Friday isn't?"

"Yes papa."

"Then yes." he said smiling. "And what do you call me at school?"

"Mr. Mega." she said smiling.

"Good girl." he said kissing her forehead. "Let's go tell daddy good-bye okay?"

"Okay papa." she said skipping to the stairs. She waited for Curt, then ran up the stairs into Curt and Riker's room. "Daddy!"

Riker groaned. "What is it Bella?"

"Me an papa are leaving for school." she said jumping on the bed and crawling over to Riker. He rolled over so he could look at his baby girl.

"Okay sweetheart. Have a good day okay? Be good."

"I will." she said smiling. "You have a good day too daddy."

"I will." he said kissing her forehead. Curt came over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Get some more rest before you have to do anything okay?"

"I will." Riker said smiling. He kissed him softly. "I love you."

"I love you too." Curt said pecking his nose. "Sleep."

Riker chuckled. "Have a good day my loves."

"We will." Bella said climbing off the bed and skipping to the door. Curt followed her with a smile. They went back downstairs and left for the school.
