As the night went on, Claire and Owen went up to the upstairs deck to look at the view. Then, they laid in the couch and watched the fireplace. "Owen?" Claire looked up at Owen. "Yeah?" he asked. "Back at the park, when you kissed me, did that mean something?" she asked. "Listen, when I kissed you, it was unintentional. I didn't know what came over me" Owen explained.
"So what are you saying" asked Claire, "Are you saying that it didn't met anything?"
"I'm saying that us can't happen" Owen clarified to Claire, "Just because we're staying together doesn't make us go back to where we were"
Claire sighed. "You're right" she said. She rested her head on Owen's shoulder. "We should've stuck together like we promised" she said. "I know" Owen said. "Daddy" They heard Sophie call from downstairs. Owen went downstairs and saw Sophie standing in the middle of the hallway clutching to her stuffed Dumbo toy. "What is it, babe?" Owen asked. "I woke up and you were gone" Sophie said in a fearful tone. "Oh, I'm sorry, baby" Owen said softly, "Come on, you can sleep with me and Claire tonight". He picked Sophie up and went upstairs. He laid her in between him and Claire.
The next day, Claire woke up in the couch alone and smelled the fresh smell of bacon coming from downstairs. When she went downstairs, Owen was cooking while holding Sophie on his hip. "Mornin',sleepyhead" he said, "Sleep well?".
"Yeah" said Claire. When Owen put Sophie down, she rushed to Claire who sat at the table. "Claire, look, my tooth is loose!" she said cheerfully. "Oh, it is?" Claire asked in a cheerful tone. "uh-huh. See?" Sophie wiggled her front tooth with her index finger, "Daddy, is the tooth fairy going to visit me soon?"
"I'm sure she will,kiddo" he said. They ate bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Owen made Sophie a smiley-face pancake. Later that day, They went to Toys R Us for Sophie and she found the book Paddington Bear, a book that her real father used to read to her. They eventually brought it much to Sophie's persuasion.
Later that night, Owen turned on the stereo and classic rock music played. "Livin' on the Prayer'' played and him and Sophie start singing along. Claire laughed and watched as Owen playfully pretended to play the guitar with a broom. "Care to to join in?" Owen asked. "I don't dance" she said. "Pff, come on" Owen said playfully as he took Claire's hand. "No, I am not dancing!" she protested laughing. Then, she gave in and Owen spun her. The rest of the night, they danced together and played around the house.
Soon after they tucked Sophie into bed, Claire and Owen decided to read her Paddington together. The two of them sat beside her on her bed and read her the book. Sophie snuggled against Claire's side as they read. "Read it again, Daddy" Sophie said sleepily after Owen finished reading the last page. "Nope. It's time for you to be heading on to sleep" Owen said. He pulled the sheets over her as she laid back in her bed. "Goodnight,baby girl" Owen said as he kissed her forehead. After she said goodnight to Owen, she looked up at Claire. "Claire?" she asked.
"Yes?" asked Claire.
"Can you be my Mommy?"
Claire smiled. She adored Sophie and it almost made her cry hearing her consider her as her mother. "Yes. I'm your Mommy" Claire said before she kissed Sophie's cheek and smoothed her hair.
