CHAPTER 44

“I kiss my baby’s toes. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby’s feet. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby’s knees. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby’s tummy. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby’s fingers. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby’s hands. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. Now I kiss my baby’s cheeks and then she will fall asleep. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm.”

Well she did not. She just blinked drowsily at me with her soulful eyes. So similar yet so different from her daddy. Robbie eyes always held pain, passion, anger, the all-knowing look that came with the experiences that would make a lesser man crumple.

My Princess had the most innocent eyes in the world with a slight twinge of mischief when she wanted a cuddle or a quick kiss.

“I love you baby girl.”

She smiled, a drip of drool falling to her chin. Did she know what I was saying to her? Did she know that she had my heart in her tiny palms? That if a moment came where she would demand my heart literally I would give her mine without a single regret.

No, she didn’t.
