Ever since Stella could talk she's been coming to Finn about everything. So when she doesn't talk or smile, Finn becomes very worried. Something was wrong with his daughter, his little star wasn't herself, something was very wrong with his daughter, and he had to find out what it is that is upsetting her so much. He goes to her room, and sits down next to her on her bed. "Stella Sweetheart, is something bothering you?" he asks her.

"No." Stella answers quickly.

"Honey, I know something is bothering you. It's ok. You can tell me anything, you know that."

"Daddy, I don't have any friends because no one likes me, and because.. because… I'm not pretty like the other girls at school."

"Look at me, you are beautiful, the prettiest four year old in the whole world. So don't ever tell yourself that your ugly even for a minute. Can you promise me that you'll try not to tell yourself you're ugly anymore?"
"I don't… I don't know if I can do that." Stella says, starting to cry, and then sob

"Shhhh, hey, hey Princess, don't cry ,you're beautiful. I know that you don't believe me but you are. You are so pretty."
"You're only saying that because you're my daddy."
"No, I'm saying that because it's true."
"Well no one else thinks so."
"A lot of people think so."
"Really?"
"Yeah, everyone's always telling Mommy how pretty you are."
"Then why don't I think so."
"Because you're like me, you never give yourself enough credit."
"Daddy, did I make you sad? I'm sorry if I made you sad."
"Stell Bell, Sweetheart, don't apologize, I'm just worried about you, I don't like when you get upset, that's all.

"Daddy, can you stay here with me? I don't want to be by myself."
"Of course I can."

"I love you Daddy."
I love you too my pretty little girl."
Stella lays wrapped in Finn's arms until she falls peacefully asleep.

Finn continues to worry about Stella for the rest of the night.

"You're worried about Stella aren't you?" Rachel asks him.

Yeah, I mean to hear say those things, it just breaks my heart."
"I know, it's because she's your little girl and you love her."
"Yeah, I just don't want her to get hurt. She's really upset and I hate it for her. She's such a beautiful little girl and I wish she understood that. "

"I do to because she's perfect."

Stella comes into living room in her pajamas the next morning looking adorable.

"Good morning pretty girl." Finn tells her.

"Morning Daddy." She replies

"Want me to take you to school today, Princess?"
"But Daddy, don't you have to go to work?"

"I'm not going in until ten today so I can spend some time with you."

"Oh, then yes, I want you to take me to school today."
"Good, I like taking you to school because I don't get to do that very much."
"I like it when you take me to school too Daddy."

"I'm glad you do, now go get all dolled up for school, because I know you love to do that."

"Ok Daddy."

Stella comes back out a few minutes later Stella comes out wearing a pink shirt with a matching plaid skirt with white tights and pink ballet flats.

"You look cute Stell Bell, you are just the prettiest little girl in the whole wide world."
"Daddy, I'm just wearing my school clothes."
"You look beautiful in anything. You're a little doll."
"Do you really think that about me Daddy? Do you really think that I'm beautiful."
"Of course I really think you're beautiful, Sweetheart. You know that, I don't lie especially to pretty girls like you, your Mommy, and Alexis."

"Thank you Daddy, that makes me feel better. I love you Daddy, so much."

"You're welcome, I'm glad that makes you feel better, I love you so much too. Now come here and give me a hug.

Stella gives Finn a hug, and he smiles at her, glad to see her happy.

"Daddy, are we going now?"

"No Silly, you haven't eaten your breakfast yet."

"Oh, whoops."
When Stella rides to school with her daddy, she's chattering away, happy and smiling.

"Bye Princess, I love you, have a good day at school today." Finn says, dropping Stella off in her classroom.

"Bye Daddy, I love you too, and I'll have a good day just for you." Stella replies giving Finn a goodbye hug.

Stella has a good day at school for the first time in a while, she does her work quietly and sings softly to herself." Is that from Wicked?" A tiny blonde girl asks, hearing Stella sing.

"Yeah, my mommy was in it… on Broadway!" Stella replies excitedly.

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I want to be just like her when grow up!"
"I want to be on Broadway too!"

"That's so cool, maybe we can be on Broadway together!"

"What's your name?"
"Stella, what's yours?
"Kylie, do you want to be my friend Stella?"
"I would love to be your friend Kylie, I've never really had a friend before, well, except for my cousin Juliet."
"I'm glad you want to be my friend Stella."
"Me too."

"Mommy! Guess what?" Stella immediately asks Rachel when they're on the way home

"What Honey?" Rachel asks in reply.

"I made a new friend and her name is Kylie!"
"That's really good, Sweetie, wait till you tell Daddy, he's going to be so happy for you."
"I think Kylie is gonna be my best friend, I really do."

"I hope she is too, Sweetie. You deserve a best friend."
"I like school now Mommy."

"I'm glad you do Sweetie."

When Finn gets home that night Stella is practically bouncing up and down with excitement.

"Daddy! Guess what?!" She says as soon as Finn walks through the door.

"What Stell Bell? He asks in reply.

"I made a new friend at school today! Her name is Kylie."

"See? I told you would make friends."

"Yes Daddy, yes you did."
"I'm so glad you made a friend. You should have like about a thousand of them because you are so amazing."
"Daddy, now you're just being silly even Fyero doesn't have that many and he's pretty awesome."

"You better believe I'm awesome." Fyero says sneaking up behind Stella.

"Bubby! You scared me!" Stella squeals loudly at her brother.

"Sorry Sis so I hear you made a new friend at school today."
"Yes I did! How did you know that?"
"How could I not know? It is all you've talked about all day!"
"I know, I 'm sorry, but I'm just really super excited about it."

I know you are I was just joking with you Sis."
"Well it wasn't that funny Bubby!"
"Geez, calm down little diva. You really don't like me joking with you at all do you?"
"No, I like joking, I was just teasing back."
"I see, well you're very clever."
"I know I am."

"Well, I'm gonna go finish my homework, night Sis."

"Ok, night Bubby."

Stella yawns several times in the following minute, so it's getting really close to bed time."
"Come on Stell Bell, it's time for you to go to bed." Finn tells her.

"Ok Daddy, I'll go to bed now." Stella agrees sleepily.

Stella lays under her covers and without even the slightest argument lets Finn tuck her in. Stella smiles for the time in a while. Finn smiles back at her because it's been a very long time since he's seen his little girl smile. He's glad she's finally happy again, it's always such a blessing to see her happy, it really is. Before Stella falls asleep she smiles at Finn and says "I love you Daddy."
"I love you too." Finn replies smiling at Stella and shutting off her lights. Stella really is his special little girl."

I thought this was cute ,hope you did too. Review please.
