chapter 52

"You guys forgot about me" Nicole interrupt their moment cutely

Nicole's innocent outburst caught Nikki and Alexander by surprise, their laughter ringing through the room at the unexpected interruption. They exchanged amused glances before turning their attention to their daughter, who stood before them with her tiny hands planted firmly on her hips, a determined expression etched across her face.

Nikki couldn't help but be charmed by Nicole's feisty spirit, her heart swelling with love for the little girl who had brought so much joy into their lives. "Oh, sweetheart, we're so sorry," she said, her voice tinged with amusement as she knelt down to Nicole's eye level. "We didn't mean to leave you out."

Alexander nodded in agreement, a smile playing at the corners of his lips as he joined them. "Nicole, you're absolutely right," he said, his voice gentle yet firm. "We should have hugged you too."

Nicole's expression softened at their words, her anger melting away as she threw herself into their arms, her tiny frame engulfed by their embrace. "I love you guys," she murmured, her voice muffled against their chests.

Tears pricked at the corners of Nikki's eyes as she held her daughter close, overwhelmed by the depth of her love for this precious child. "We love you too, sweetheart," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.

Alexander pressed a kiss to Nicole's forehead, his heart swelling with pride at the incredible bond they shared as a family. "Always and forever," he vowed, his words a testament to the unbreakable love that bound them together.

And as they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Nikki couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the blessings they had been given. In that moment, surrounded by the love of her husband and daughter, she knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be.
