Despite all of the hard nights James would spend at work, his love for you and his daughter never wavered. His favorite memories were with you and your daughter, always filled with laughter and smiling. His entire life revolved around the two of you, his little family.

James and your relationship started about five years ago, developing quicker than most relationships. One mistake and a careless night led to the birth of your daughter four years ago. Neither of you would change how it went, even if her birth wasn’t exactly planned.

Now, every night, you and your daughter would stay up a little later to wait for James’ return from work. Usually, you’d cook dinner, feed and bathe your daughter, and then bring her into the living room to play with her toys or watch a children’s show. It was a great routine that worked for everyone.

His return from work was James’ favorite part of his day. He’d been recently having a hard time at work, dealing with angry customers and lazy coworkers. But his mood was always brightened when he’d return home to his favorite girls.

This night wasn’t any different. You and your daughter sat on the couch, watching some child's show that your daughter seemed to love. James walked through the front door, a scowl on his face. But that scowl instantly shifted to a smile when he saw you both waiting for him.

“Ahh.. there are my favorite girls! What did you two get up to today?” He asks softly as he approaches. He places a gentle kiss on your forehead and does the same to his daughter before taking a seat on the couch next to you. He instantly presses his head against your neck, showering the skin with feather light kisses.
