I own nothing. Enjoy!
"Daddy Nick," Angel said as we drove, "Can we get something for Zero?"
"What were you thinking?" I asked pulling into a mall parking lot that had a hamburger joint.
"A toy," she said smiling, "She doesn't really have any toys and you said that the backyard is going to be huge, so I thought that Zero would like something."
"You're right," I said nodding, "Okay, let's run in quickly and get a rope for Zero, okay?"
"Yeah," she said waiting for me to come next to her.
I know that it might seem a little overprotective, but with what Greg had seen I knew where he was coming from. Angel must have too because she never said a word about it.
As we walked to the store Angel told me about the trip they made to Papa Olaf. She told me about how Greg had sat down and told her all about Norway and taught her a few words.
We got to the store and grabbed a rope before going to the hamburger joint. Angel and I order the food and laughed as Angel told me the time Greg fell asleep on the couch and fell off in the middle of the day.
When we got back to the hotel Greg was sitting outside on the ground playing with Zero. I loved how peaceful he looked and I hoped that I was able to keep that look on his face.
"There you two are," Greg said climbing into the car with Zero, "What took so long?"
"We got a present for Zero," Angel said happily, "Also, Angel was telling me stories about you."
"Oh," he said smiling, "What did you get Zero?"
"A rope," Angel said handing it to Zero.
Zero sniffed the rope a few times and licked it before grabbing into her mouth and laying down. Angel laughed and patted Zero's head a few times before turning back and playing with the radio.
Music started to blast through the car and Greg and Angel started to sing. I laughed as I watched them dance in their seats. Both of them had fun singing to the song playing.
I was so happy to see that look on Greg's face. For awhile before we started to date ii never truly saw Greg smile. Now that's all I wanted to do. I wanted Greg to be happy forever.
I know Greg is worried about Angel not finding anyone, but I knew she would find someone. Angel was a lot like her father. No one would be able to resist Angel Sanders.
When Angel smiled it didn't matter if she was saying something you didn't understand, you were happy because she was happy. I loved Angel. She was such a sweet little girl.
I felt that I was lucky to know Angel. Anyone would be lucky to know Angel. I knew my parents were going to love Angel. When Angel was in her teens people would throw themselves to be her friend.
Angel was sort of eccentric, but she was one of those people that could pull it off perfectly. Everything Angel did was with so much energy that at any other time would seem boring.
I had no clue what made Angel so sweet since everything that happened to her, but she never did turn it into a bad thing. Angel loved talking to people even though she was shy.
"Daddy Nick," Angel said breaking through my thoughts.
"Yes, Hun," I asked turning the radio down.
"Are we almost there?" she asked cocking her head to the side sweetly.
"Just another two hours," I said looking at the clock.
Angel let out a sigh and poked Greg in the head. Greg turned around slowly before poking Angel's nose. The two of them started a poking war to pass the time we had left.
The poking war ended up going until we got to my parents house. I drove up the driveway and parked the car. Angel and Zero climbed out and stared at the house. Greg smiled at me before getting out himself.
"Holy crap," Greg said his eyes wide, "Your parents live here?"
"Yeah," I said blushing slightly, "You knew they were rich."
"Not this rich," he said shaking his head.
"This place should have its on zip code," Angel said blinking her eyes, "Or at least be on a map as its on country."
"It's not that big," I said laughing.
"Says the guy that grew up here," she said rolling her eyes, "Come on, I want to meet your parents."
"Okay," I said taking her hand, "Let's go."
We walked a few steps before Angel got distracted by the horses that were running around. She looked up at me and then pointed to the horses. I knew I should go to my parents, but Angel looked so cute.
I picked Angel up and walked to the horses with Greg and Zero. Placing Angel on a horse I gently walked around and let her get used to it. After a few minutes I let her take control of the horse but kept close.
Angel waved happily before hugging the horse gently. I walked over to Greg and hugged him closely. He watched Angel with sheer happiness filling his eyes. Zero just waited by our feet and watched Angel also.
This is what I wanted for Greg and Angel. I wanted them to be happy and free. I knew that neither Greg or I would quit our jobs at the lab, but that didn't mean I couldn't give this to them.
"I thought I saw you walk up," a man said from behind me.
Turning around I saw my father and mother walking up to us. I smiled and hugged them. Greg went to shake their hands only to be pulled into a hug himself. Zero waited again. Watching my parents with confusion.
"Let's go meet Angel," Mom said smiling.
