*Butterfly Kisses: Johnny and Tabby*

The first time Johnny Cade laid eyes on his only daughter, he knew that she was a gift from heaven, and he often wondered when she was growing up what he did to deserve such a beautiful miracle.

It was times like these that Johnny loved the most. Right now Tabby was praying before bed, talking to God and Jesus like she did every night. Johnny took a moment to thank God for all the joy in his life. Like the butterfly kisses that came right after bedtime prays, or sticking little white flowers in his daughter black hair. What did he do to deserve such a wonderful little girl?

"Daddy," Johnny was pulled out his of thoughts by the sound of his daughter's voice. He looked down to see big, brown eyes looking up at him. His wife always said that the children had his eyes, but he didn't believe her. His eyes were filled with fear and a dark past, his children's held innocents and curiosity. He preferred his children's eyes to his own.

"Are you done saying goodnight to God and Jesus?" Johnny asked his daughter. Tabby smiled real big and nodded.

"Yes Daddy," She told him brightly. Johnny smiled and helped the young girl into bed. He tucked her in and kissed her cheek.

"I love you, Tabitha." He whispered. Tabby smiled.

"Love you too, Daddy," She told him. Johnny was just about to get up to leave when Tabby called to him again. He turned around and said, "What is it honey?" Tabby gave him a puppy dog look.

"You forgot your butterfly kisses, Daddy," She told him, as if he were crazy to be forgetting that. Johnny gasped dramatically.

"Oh no, you're right, I almost did forget my butterfly kisses." He bent his head down so his daughter could reach. She leaned forward and moved her eyelashes against his cheek, tickling him slightly. When she was done, Johnny kissed her cheek once more bid his daughter goodnight.

It was nights like these that made Johnny's day better. He might have had the worst day at work, but just the sight of his family made the day that much better.

She was sixteen now, and despite what most people said, Johnny believe that his daughter was beginning to look more like her mother every day.

It was amazing, it seemed just like yesterday that his little girl was giving him butterfly kisses and saying that she would marry a guy just like her Daddy. But Johnny still held on to the memories of butterfly kisses and little white flowers in her black hair.

"Daddy, I love you, but I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time," Tabby told him one night before she went off to bed. It hurt Johnny to see his little girl grow up, but he knew that she would grow up to be a beautiful, smart woman, and he still had memories. So even when he saw her with her boyfriend, he knew that deep down, she was still his little Tabby-Cat.

Today was the day that she would change her name. Today she would make a promise, and Johnny would give her away.

He stood in the bride room, staring at her in her beautiful pure white gown.

"Daddy, what are you thinking about?" Tabby asked her father. Johnny couldn't believe that this was happening, his little girl was getting married, and to a Soc who was three year older than her at that.

"I-I'm not sure, Tabby-Cat. I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl." Johnny told her truthfully. Tabby did something that shocked Johnny, something she hadn't done in years.

She leaned over and gave him butterfly kisses, while her mother put little white flower in her beautiful black hair. When she pulled away she said, "Are you ready to walk me down the aisle Daddy, because it's just about time." Tabby thanked her mother and hugged her before Kelly left the room to find her seat. She looked at herself one last time in the mirror before she spoke again.

"Daddy, does my gown look pretty?" She turned around when her father didn't answer, only to see tears in her father's eyes. "Oh Daddy, don't cry." Johnny and Tabby shared one last hug before she became a married woman. Johnny began to wonder how he deserved such a wonderful life.

As he walked her down the aisle, Johnny could help but to think about those butterfly kisses she would give him when she was a little girl.
