Hey guys! I am doing a massive posting spree! I am updating all my stories along with starting a couple new ones!
And since you guys asked so nicely about a second chapter for this originally a one shot... YOU ARE GETTING A MULTI CHAPTER!
You guys are the best!
Here is a recap of what happened last chapter:
"Alright! I will see you soon and don't forget to tell me all about what happens with the baby daddy!"
With that I watch her disappear into the crowd, to go home to her family.
I look down at my little baby girl, she is getting fussy,
Must be hungry,
I hold her tight while I reach down to grab my luggage as it comes through the claim,
Luggage, check
Baby girl, check!
I lean down and give her a quick kiss on the forehead, earning a giggle from her,
Purse check
What else? Did I forget something?
"Hmm, what am I missing, Jo?" I look at her before glancing up and seeing a familiar face.
The one I was most hoping to see,
"Danny?"
"Riley?!"
Okay enjoy!
Riley's POV
Danny face of utter surprise and shock makes me giggle as I look at him.
"Riley!? What...what are you? How? Huh?!" He has his mouth practically on the floor in shock. I continue to giggle at his expense.
My little girl in my arms begins to squirm and ask for attention. She reaches up with her little baby hand to tap my face.
"Mwah" I feel a little tap to my face as Danny stares. The noise little Jo made seemed to break him from his trance, and he shakes his head in confusion.
"Who is..." He pauses and points to Jo, "...that?" He begins to walk forward from his place a couple feet away. His pace picks up when I pull Jo closer to my chest.
Danny is so close to Jo that I feel her squirming to see the figure looming over her. She finally wins and turns over to look right at Danny. Her beautiful blue eyes look right at Danny. He gasps at how familiar they look to him, almost like my own. He backs away in shock, sputtering words like he has seen a ghost.
"Is...is she...yours? And...and..whose the...the father?" I shake my head and smile at him,
"No Danny, she isn't, not biologically, but she is mine now. Her parents suffered a cruel fate in Africa." I look down at her with a tiny grin, tears building up. I sniffle a little and brush my eyes to whip away the tears. I miss my friends in Africa but I don't want Danny to know what really happened there I just want him to help me take care of his little girl. He looks at me and then looks at Jocelyn looks back at me again and smiles and I know everything is going to be okay.
"What happened to them?" He cocked his head to the side in such a Danny way, I have to stifle the giggle that is wanting to come out.
"They...both passed away...and left me their little girl, little Jocelyn, she is two weeks old today." I smile at him, hoping that he sees how much I have change.
I have lost weight, making me even smaller.
I am very cautious.
I need help.
And I believe that he is the man to help me. He is my best friend after all.
My eyes get teary realizing the real trouble I am in.
"Oh Riley, that is just..." He reaches toward me and gathers me and my little girl in his arms and secures us there. I sniffle and whimper for everything that has happened, to my little girl, to my lost relationship and to all the pain that is evident on Danny's face.
"It's just...I am so lost...this little girl...my little girl...she has no one..." I whisper into his muscular chest, pulling my baby closer, "...Danny?"
He pulls away slightly, noticing that I haven't yet raised my head, he delicately places his hand under my chin and lifts it up so I can see he beautiful blue eyes, they are full of compassion and love,
"Yes, Riley?"
I breathe in his scent, gathering the courage to ask the question that has been on my mind since Jocelyn was born,
"Will...you be here for us? Could you do that for me?" I hold my breathe waiting for his answer.
A smile graces his mouth, going from ear to ear, shinning brightly.
He nods his head, as he smiles. I smile up at him and while holding the baby in my arms I lean into him as if to give him a hug. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me close.
"I would be honored, Riles," I grin at the use of my old nickname, and I stick my tongue out at him, earning a laugh from him.
"Good. Cause I am gonna need you, thanks daddy!" my eyes widen at the weight of my words, "Danny...I..." he cuts me off with words I never thought he would say,
"Okay, I'll be her dad," my jaw drops open in shock, my jaw opening and closing like a guppy, "What? I have always wanted to be a dad...I just never found the right woman for that...and hey, she looks like us!" He is grinning so wide, practically beaming.
"Danny...? Are you sure? This is a big responsibility to take on, once we agree on a story, you and I? We will be parents...are you sure?" I look in his eyes, searching for some kind of doubt or regret.
I find not a single trace of either.
He really wants this. I smile He wants to be a family, if he wants that, then he shall have it.
"Yes, Riles, I am more sure of this than anything, I want to be a father to this little girl and be a family with you, if that is what you want...?" I nod my head with tears gathering in my eyes, I breathe in and step away from Danny.
I smile at him.
"Mwah!" I look down to the little girl in my arms who is fussing at me, her lack of attention is doing damage to her little ego.
Like father, like daughter I smile wider at this thought.
I move Jocelyn around in my arms to hold her more comfortably and look up at Danny, he is practically bouncing in anticipation,
"Would you like to hold your daughter?"
There you guys go! Here is chapter two! I am thinking about around 9-11 chapters and maybe a sequal, depending on the reviews and what you guys want.
Thank you all for being so amazing and patient!
Love you all!
