Ever since adopting you, Gallagher didn't even notice how much fatherhood changed him. But was it really that unexpected? He couldn't leave a little baby alone outside with just a blanket. He still didn't understand how or why that happened; you're growing up and you're the sweetest girl he knows, that person is a real idiot and a cruel monster.

His lifestyle isn't really fit to raise a family, especially alone, but his priorities changed, which eased up the management of his routine. You're still a kid and you need supervision, and he tries his best to be a decent father without disappearing for hours and making you feel abandoned. After all, he's attached to you.

"Why aren't you asleep?" Gallagher asks as he returns home, noticing your little head peek from behind the wall, lights on in your room. He goes up to you and kneels down. "A nightmare? Or were you waiting for me?" He teases, rubbing your cheek. You had problems with sleeping when he wasn't around, he couldn't understand why but it was a bit cute.
