Grant is 38 when he drops his daughter off at her first day of school.
They parked in front of the school and Grant eyed the school nervously.
"Are we sure she's ready? I mean we could always hold her back a year. She'll be the smartest!" Skye scoffed next to him.
"It's a little late to think of that, seeing as its the first day, and were already here." She glanced back at the little girl, Chloe. The little girl was oblivious to the conversation going on in the front. She was looking at the school building as well, rubbing the straps of her book bag nervously. Skye turned back to her husband,
"She's going to be just fine. Don't worry." On cue, Chloe spoke up from the back.
"Mommy?" Skye turned back,
"Yes honey"
"Are we going to go in?" Skye smiled,
"Of course we are! Daddy was just making sure everything was okay for your first day of school!" She opened the door and set to unbuckle the girl from her car seat. Grant turned in his seat and handed Skye the book bag before getting out of the car and joining his family on the sidewalk. Skye pushed back a loose strand of hair from Chloe's face and then stood to marvel at her daughter.
"Beautiful." The little girl blushed at the compliment. A bell rang from the school building, signaling 5 minutes before classes were to begin. Chloe tried to edge her way to the building but her father stopped her.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" The girl shook her head slowly. She thought she had everything she needed. "Don't forget to give daddy a hug!" Grant kneeled down and wrapped his arms around the little girl, who squealed in delight when he lifted her off the ground. He twirled her around a couple times before placing her gently back on the floor. She scrunched her nose when he went to peck it with a kiss.
"Alright! It's time we head in!" Skye interrupted reluctantly. The little girl stepped to her mother and held out her hand. Skye took a hold of the small hand and lead the girl to the building. Grant leaned against the car and watched as the most important girls in his life walk into the building. He thought back to the past 8 years with Skye, and couldn't believe how damn lucky he was.
When Skye rejoined him at the car, she couldn't hep but notice the wide grin on his face. She leaned up on the car next to him.
"What are you thinking of?" He turned his gaze over to his wife,
"You." Her cheeks turned pink and she hit him playfully,
"Stop it!"
"What, I can't help it! It's not my fault I've got the most perfect wife!" He leaned in for a kiss, but Skye pulled back,
"Grant! We're still at the school!" Grant grinned, affection seeping from every pore,
"Well lets get out of here and see about making Chloe a big sister."
I'm sorry it was so short but I hope you enjoyed the story. I'm going to make a sequel of this story with Skye's POV.
Please comment, rate, review, whatever floats your boat. it means a lot to me.
