Leon had finally returned from his terrible mission in Spain. It had lasted a little over a week and he was distraught at being away from home and his daughter. All he wanted was to come home and breathe in Adel's baby smell and hold his daughter tightly.

He walked into the house with his keys, it was already midnight and he knew that both you and Adel were asleep. He closed the door softly and went straight to the bedroom. First he looked in your room but it was empty and then he opened the door to his room. The worry in his heart eased when he saw Adel and you sleeping in his bed. He was always hesitant to leave Adel with you, even though you were the little baby's temporary wet nurse. When it came to his daughter, Leon trusted no one but himself. But you were a good person and you were going through the same pain as he was.

He lay down next to the bed, pressed his lips to the little baby's forehead, hair and cheek, smothering her with little kisses. The room was dark, but his eyes were slowly getting used to it.
