Another Daddy!Barney story because I just love them so much! It's really going to focus around him and his daughters relationship, but I haven't really figured everything out.
Alright this is the last chapter for this story. I have no more idea's left for this story, but if you follow the story I will at some point in time post continuations of this story. Thanks for reviewing/reading. Enjoy!
I own nothing. Please review!
"Daddy?" a soft questioning voice drifted through my dream, "Daddy? Are you sleeping? Daddy? He's sleeping, Aunt Robin."
I felt the bed sink slightly as someone climbed into it that was odd. Most people were trying to climb out of my bed in the morning. Wait, Daddy? Aunt Robin? How was it I still thought having a daughter was a dream?
It had been seven months since I first brought Zoe home and I just couldn't believe that the three year old was my daughter. Not that I had a kid, well not just that, but how amazing she was.
And she was amazing. So sweet and kind to everyone she met. She was a friendly person and after just one time going to the park she had claimed to have three new friends.
Though there was one person that she was best friends with. A little girl that had been her friend for almost a year. She and Jade were the best of friends and both little girls had a sleep over every other week now.
That had been a nightmare for me in the beginning. It was hard enough to have one child to look after, but to have two? And adding the fact Jade's parents weren't all that thrilled having the daughter at a strangers house? It wasn't a good time.
Even after all these months I knew that they had trouble dropping her off at my apartment, but they'd never keep the girls away from each other. The girls loved each other too much.
It was a little odd to think about still, but I remembered when Zoe first introduced Jade to me. She didn't say her best friend or her friend. She introduced Jade as her big sister since Jade was a year older than her.
I knew that if friends were close enough they'd consider each other family, just like I considered Ted my brother, but I hadn't thought that something like that started this young.
There were so many things that Zoe had taught me and I loved her for that. I had thought that I was a pretty open person, but you never knew what you were missing until you had a child.
Yeah, not all people were right to be parents, I thought I was one of them for so many years. I never thought I'd think this, but I was completely and totally wrong about a lot of things.
"Why don't you jump on him to wake him up?" Robin's voice spoke up sounding on the smug side.
"No mad?" Zoe questioned hesitantly.
"No mad."
My mind was still half sleep at this point so I didn't understand what was going on until I felt the bed suddenly move. That was when Robin's words hit me. She was telling Zoe to jump on my bed.
I continued to act like I was asleep for a few more jumps before I surged up, wrapped my arms around her waist and flung both of us down onto my bed. Giggles filled my bedroom when I did this.
It was sweet, amazing really, to hear the sound of my daughters laughter. Have that be the only thing that I was really focused on. That sound was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard
When Zoe was finally settled in my lap I found myself looking into the bright blue eyes and wondering what I had ever done to deserve something as amazing as having a child.
Of course I knew that's not really how it worked. A lot of people who didn't deserve to have children had them and some people that did deserve to have them didn't. I hadn't given much thought to it before.
I wasn't going to have kids so what was the point in thinking about it? But now id did have a child and I was thinking how nothing in my life made it seem like I deserved to have something this wonderful.
Now I had her though and there was nothing in this world that was going to take her away from me. I would never let that happen. I doubted that I could ever live with myself if it did.
With my friends I knew that no matter how much I loved them and how much I wanted them to always be in my life I could survive if something happened. I'd always love them, but it wouldn't be the end for me.
Looking at the little girl in my arms right now I wasn't sure that I could do that. In only a few months she was my world. I loved her with all of my heart. Just thinking about her being hurt was too much.
"Hello," I smiled my voice deeper with sleep.
"Hi," Zoe grinned happily with a slight wave of her hand, "Aunt Robin, do you have it?"
That was another thing I was trying to get used to. My friends had become my daughters aunts and uncles rather quickly. Something all of them were more than happy about.
All four of them had brought Zoe into our little family like it was nothing at all. Babysitting, buying little presents, making dinners, and everything like that was all taken care of. It was like she had been with us all our lives.
I couldn't even begin to explain how happy that made me. I loved knowing that Zoe had a big family. Yeah, they weren't related by blood, but since when did that really matter?
"Yeah, I got it," Robin nodded picking up something from the floor and moving to the bed.
I watched as Robin walked to my bed and placed a tray down. Toast, bacon, jam, coffee, eggs, and more were piled on the plate. It looked like there was enough food for all three of us to eat.
"What's going on?" I questioned sitting up properly.
"It's Daddy's Day," Zoe said practically beaming.
"This is the first part of you Father's Day present," Robin filled in with a nod.
Looking down at the plate I patted the left side of my bed and waited until Robin was sitting next to me before picking up my fork. I never thought I'd think this, but sitting here was actually really…nice.
"I love it," I nodded looking between them, "Thank you."
"I love you, Daddy," Zoe replied while attempting to cuddle into my chest without spilling the food.
"I love you too, Sweetheart. I love you too."
