I own nothing. Enjoy!
"Come on Daddy Nick," Angel said pulling me into the building.
"Mr. Stokes," the secretary, Terrie, said looking up, "Are you here for eye exam?"
"Actually," I said pushing Angel in front of me, "I was hoping Angel could get an exam."
"Hello," Angel said with a slight wave.
"Hello," Terrie said happily, "I'll go get the doctor."
"Okay," I said as she left.
"You're going to come in with me, right?" Angel asked looking up at me.
"Of course," I said kneeling to her level.
"Mr. Stokes," the doctor said walking up to us, "You must me Angel. I'm Doctor Lock."
"Hello Dr. Lock," Angel said shyly.
"Let's go get you're eyes examined," Dr. Lock said motioning for us to follow him.
Angel took a deep breath and looked up at me with slight fear in her eyes. I smiled encouragingly and went into the room. Once we were in the room I helped Angel get in the chair and stood next to her as Dr. Lock got everything ready. I could tell Angel was scared , but she needed to get glasses.
"Alright Angel," Dr. Lock said looking at us, "I'm going to need you to look into this things."
"Yeah," Angel said nervously.
Throughout all of the examine Angel was holding my hand. She was still shaking slightly, but she had calmed down a lot. I gently rubbed her back as the doctor told her what to do.
The whole examine took half an hour and I had a feeling that Angel was calming down step by step. Dr. Lock had kept Angel talking through out the whole examine and Angel was loving it.
"Okay Angel," Dr. Lock said smiling, "One last question before we leave. How long have you not been able to see clearly?"
"Almost two years," Angel said biting her lip.
"Why didn't you say something before" I asked confused.
"Danny," she said tears in her eyes.
"Oh hunny," I said picking her up and hugging her tightly.
"I miss him Daddy Nick," she said sobbing into my neck.
"I know," I said rubbing her back, "I know you do."
"I'll leave you two alone," Dr. Lock said leaving us alone.
I walked around the examine room and hummed softly to Angel. Neither Nick nor Angel had ever really talked about Danny, but I completely understood. Ever since I had found out that Danny was murdered I hadn't asked many questions about him.
"I now I didn't know Danny, but I don't think he would have wanted you to be this sad," I said softly, "He sounds like a boy that would have wanted you to be happy that you got the time you did with him."
"I miss him," Angel said sniffling.
"I know," I said kissing her forehead.
"Thank you Daddy Nick," she said smiling up at me.
"You're welcome sweetheart," I said smiling back.
Spinning Angel around calmly I kissed her forehead once more before leaving the examine room. Dr. Lock was waiting outside the examine room talking to Terrie. They looked over at us and smiled happily.
"Hello you two," Dr. Lock said happily, "Angel, I've gotten your prescription. Now you just have to get your glasses and if you wait a little while I will have your glasses complete and you can get them today."
"Yay," Angel said grinning, "Daddy Nick, can I go look at the frames?"
"Yes," I said laughing, "Just remember to stay in my sight at all times."
"Thank you," she said kissing my cheek before letting me put her down and running to the shelves with Terrie.
"You have a wonderful daughter," Dr. Lock said watching Angel with me, "She's very sweet. Why didn't you bring her in on any other examine?"
"She's my boyfriends daughter," I said smiling when I heard Angel laugh, "He did a great job raising her."
"She calls you 'Daddy Nick' though," he said looking at me, "You've done something that has made her happy or effected her a lot. So, she's your daughter."
"Yeah," I said nodding, "I'm going to got help them."
"Okay," he said shaking my hand, "We'll see you during your next examine."
"Thank you," I said as he left.
I looked back at Angel and saw her trying on multiple glasses frames. She was having fun trying them on until she turned to me and she had on a pair of black and red metal glasses with roses etched in them.
"Daddy Nick," Angel said running up to me and jumping into my arms, "I love these glasses. Look at the pretty roses."
"I know," I said smiling, "You look beautiful in them."
"Can I get them?" she said bouncing slightly.
"Yes," I said laughing, "Let's go get them fitted."
"Thank you," she said hugging me tightly again.
Terrie, Angel, and I sat down and Terrie fixed Angel's glasses so they fit her face perfectly. A few times I had to tell Angel to stop bouncing because of how excited she was.
"I see you picked out some nice frames," Dr. Lock said walking back up to us, "If you give me the frames I can fit your lens in them and you can be on your way."
"Thank you Dr. Lock," Angel said handing him the frames.
"You're welcome," he said leaving us once again.
"Daddy Nick," Angel said looking up at me, "You were right. Glasses aren't that bad. That stuff they put in your eyes though, that sucks."
"Yes it does," I said kissing her forehead.
"Do you think Daddy will like my glasses?" she asked hopefully.
"I do," I said nodding, "You look beautiful and Greg will see that too."
"I hope so," she said biting her lip.
"He will," I said firmly.
"And here you go Angel," Dr. Lock said handing Angel the glasses.
"Thank you," she said slipping them on, "How do I look?"
"Beautiful," I said kissing her forehead once again, "How much do I owe you?"
"The examine and the frames together make it seven hundred dollars," Terrie said walking up to us, "How will you be paying?"
"Check," I said pulling out my check book.
Angel stared in the mirror as I wrote the check for the glasses. I watched her for awhile after I was done writing the check and smiled widely. I was glad Angel had gotten over her sadness over getting glasses.
"Come on Daddy Nick," Angel said turning to me, "I want to go show Daddy."
"Okay," I said laughing and picking her up.
Angel rested her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes. I knew that Greg was going to be waiting for us outside and I couldn't wait to see how he reacted when he saw her glasses.
Now we just had to drive to my parents. This was going to be a lot of fun and I hoped so much that my family would love Greg and Angel as much as I do. I don't know what I would do if my parents didn't like Angel and Greg. I loved them so much.
