Ari

When I wake up alone I'm panicked, until I remeber that sebs here. I know he's got my little girl and won't let anything happen to her.

When I get downstairs I find them in the livingroom dancing around to Disney music. My chest warms at the sight. The love seb has in his eyes when he looks at my daughter is the same love my dad looks at me and ellie with, the way a dad looks at his baby girl. Maybe seb really does love my little girl. Maybe he really does want to be her dad.

"How'd you sleep angel?" Seb asks when he notices me watching them.

"Good thank you"

"No problem, I know she hasn't been sleeping good and you were exhausted." He tells me and places a kiss on my temple.

"Kiss me sebby" charlie says pointing at her cheeck. She giggles when he does.

"Can I take you girls out for dinner?" He asks me

"Umm, yeah I guess that would be okay."

"Good, go get ready I got her."

I make my way back to my room to get a change of clothes. After my shower I put some makeup on and quickly blow dry my hair. When I get back downstairs Charlie's clothes are changed and she's sitting on the floor between sebs legs while ge attempts to do her hair. "Sorry princess. I'm new at this but we're gonna figure it out okay?"

"Okay sebby"

"Messy buns are cute right? Becuase I think any bun I do will be messy." He laughs.

"Yes.... sebby?"

"Yeah?"

"Where's daddy?" My heart freezes in my chest at her question. She keeps picking a book out for her bed time story about a magical family with a mom and a dad, the cartoons she watches the kids have moms and dads.

He picks her up and spins her to face him and hugs her tight "I'm sorry charlie."

"Why?"

"I hope you never have to understand why"

I sniffle and he turns to see me. His eyes pleading with me to give him what he wants most in this world, us... I take a deep breath before nodding at him. Charlie deseves a dad who loves her and will will anything for her. Seb may not share her DNA but he will be the best father in the world to my little girl.

"Princess, how would you feel about me being your dad?"

"Sebbys daddy?"

"Only if you want me to be. Family is who you choose charlie girl. I choose you and I choose mommy. Do you choose me?" I can hear the fear in his voice, but it's unwarranted. My little girl loves him.

"Yes, daddy. I love you daddy"

"I love you too charlie" He chokes out the words. He looks at me and mouths "Thank you' I nod in response trying really hard to control my emotions.

"Daddy, pizza?"

"You want pizza princess?"

"Yes please"

"Is that okay with you angel?"

"Thats fine." I tell him

"Okay let's go feed my girls" He says standing to his feet with charlie in his arms.

"Mommy sebbys daddy" she cheers excitingly.

"Yeah, sweetheart sebby loves you so much."

"Daddy loves mommy too" seb tells charlie.

"Family?" She asks

"Yes princess we're family. Always and forever."

"Go home with daddy?" My daughter asks me.

"I don't know baby."

"Daddy stay?" She's a persistent one.

"Charlie daddy will be wherever you are okay? I'm not going anywhere." Sebby tells her

"Yayyyyy" she claps her hands. "Let's eat" with that command were out the door and getting into my car.

Once we reach the pizzeria seb gets charlie out of the car. As we're walking hik he grabs my hand with his free one. I look from our hand up to his face all I get from him is a smirk and a wink.

We're seated immediately, and we're able to place our order. "Mommy I go potty"

"You gotta go potty baby?" I ask her.

She nods furiously. "Alright kiddo, let's go." I stand up seb hands her over to me. She chose to sit on his side of the booth.

I'm so proud of my girl she hasn't had an accident in almost a week. "Mommy? You love daddy?"

"Ummm, yeah I'll always love your daddy sweetheart. Sometimes just because you love someone doesn't mean you're going to be together"

"Family?"

"Yeah, family" my girl is smart but she's only two and even though she acts older there are just some things she doesn't understand.

After she's done using the restroom and washing hands we head back to the table "Who's that?" Charlie asks.

When I look at our table I see two girls sitting across from seb. "I don't know baby"

"Why they talk to daddy?"

"I don't know charlie."

"I ask" she storms over to the table "daddy" she crosses her arms with all my attitude.

"Hi princess" he says scopping her up "You're in my girls seat"

They don't even notice me when they giggle, literally fucking giggle like twelve year old girls. "Can we eat lunch with you sweetie?"

"No" charlie glares at them "mommy's seat" she points at me

Both girls look my way and I give them my best sweet smile. "You're in my seat"

"Ohhh, he's not wearing a ring assumed he was single."

"He is" I tell them the same time seb says "I'm not"

I roll my eyes at him when he glares at me "look you can get his number on our way out. We're having lunch with our daughter right now, so if you don't mind"

They both get out of the booth "see you later handsome" the blonde one says.

"No" charlie glares at her.

"Brat" the brunette mutters

"What the fuck did you just call my daughter?" I ask her as I take a step forward

"Shit" seb says under his breath. Setting charlie on the bench seat.

"Would you like to repeat what the fuck you just called my daughter?"

"I called her a brat" she shrugs

This bitch really is stupid "ari" seb shakes his head at me then nods toward charlie and I know I can't punch this bitch infront of my baby no matter how much I want to. "I suggest you leave before I take my daughter outside and let my old lady deal with you. Trust me when i tell you it won't be pretty for either of you" he says in a low voice.

They both huff and walk away. My body is still shaking with fury. Fucking cunts.

"Come on angel, sit down"

"Why were you entertaining them?" I narrow my eyes at him.

"I wasn't entertaining them I was ignoring them"

"You should have told them to kick rocks" I huff and sit down putting on a fake smile for my daughters sake.

" they mean" charlie says with her arms crossed over her chest.

"I know princess but they're gone now, mommy scared them away" seb smiles causing me to roll my eyes.
