Michael's POV
I worried about Annie. Ever since she got home, she had been acting different. I could only wonder, why? I watched as little Janiya ran about playing. I smiled. I was so happy to have a daughter. A daughter with the woman I love so much.
Annie sat across the room from me, talking to little Janiya. I watched her, entranced by her. Janiya suddenly jumped onto my lap.
"Daddy!", she said in a sing-song voice, "Can I have some ice cream?"
I looked up at Annie, who was smiling. "Of course, darling.",I said, "Let's go get some."
Janiya squealed and jumped off my lap, running for the kitchen. I stood up and started after her, looking back at Annie.
*~*~*~*~*~*
After Janiya had finished her ice cream, she had fallen asleep and I was carrying her to her bed. I tucked her in and kissed her forehead. I headed back downstairs to find Annie sitting by the window, looking out at the full moon. I crept up behind her and whispered into her ear.
"Boo."
She jumped a bit and looked at me. "Oh you.",she giggled. She scooted over and I sat down next to her, my arm around her shoulders. She leaned her head against my chest and sighed. I kissed her forehead and hugged her. Withing a few minutes, her breathing was steady. She was asleep.
Annie's POV
I woke up in the morning to find myself in my own bed. I assumed that Michael had brought me here when I had fallen asleep. I stretched and heard a chime at the corner of the room. I had left my email on. I looked around and climbed off the bed. I opened the new message.
Analisa,
I'm sorry I kissed you. Will you please forgive me? I want to see you again. Please see me again at the old barn. Please.
Johnny
I frowned and closed the window. I shut off the computer and headed to the bathroom, grabbing a towel.
*~*~*~*~*~*
I headed downstairs and ran into Janiya. She was humming happily.
"Mornin', Mommy!", she chirped. I picked her up.
"Mornin', baby girl.", I said, pushing back some of her curly hair behind her ear. "Where's your daddy?"
"In the kitchen with breakfast." I smiled and carried her to the kitchen. I saw Michael setting down three plates with food. He looked up at us and grinned. I set Janiya down and Michael came up to me. He hugged me and whispered in my ear, "Good morning, beautiful."
I giggled. "Good morning... cutie.", I whispered back. He gave me a light kiss on my lips and we broke away. We ate breakfast as a family, something I've dreamed of having every night.
