Chapter Fourteen

I was glad I went with my gut. Before we even made it up the last step, the front door opened and Layla ran out. She headed straight for us and skidded to a halt right in front of Landyn. “Hi,” she breathed, out of breath, looking up at her daddy.

Landyn bent down and palmed Layla’s cheek. “Hey there, precious girl.” Landyn surprisingly sounded hesitant and nervous now. A far cry from his normal behavior.

Layla stared at Lan for a beat. Then I watched as big, fat teardrops gathered in her eyes. “Will you keep me? I mean, will you not leave me even if you don’t like me?” she asked in a tiny, innocent voice.

That little voice pierced my heart. It was a horrible feeling knowing that by keeping Landyn away, I inadvertently caused my baby girl so much pain. I was crying again! I saw Landyn wipe his eyes too.

“Precious girl, I’m never letting you go,” Landyn choked out and pulled her in for a hug.

When they finally pulled apart, Lan said “You’re very beautiful, Layla. You take my breath away.”

She smiled huge. “Will I be as big as you?” she asked excitedly.

Landyn chuckled. “I really hope not precious. There aren’t too many girls in this world as big as me. But I will say that I think you’re going to be bigger than your mom.” He made it sound like that was a good thing.

“Yay! I don’t wanna be short like Mama!”

“Hey! I’m five-four! That’s average for a woman,” I said, offended.

“You’re short Mama,” Layla said matter-of-factly.

Trish’s total honesty bit must really be rubbing off on her. “Alright, alright, let’s get going. I have to work in a few hours,” I said.

We had a blast at the park. Landyn actually brought a pink football for Layla and we all threw it around and laughed and tackled each other. My baby girl was in heaven until it was time for Landyn to leave.

“I don’t want you to go!” she sobbed against Lan’s leg.

“I don’t want to leave either precious, but your mom has to go to work. I’ll come back first thing tomorrow if you want.”

“Why can’t you just stay with me? You’re my Daddy, you’re supposed to stay.”

This little girl was always breaking my heart.

“Layla, Daddy and Mommy aren’t married, so it wouldn’t be right for him to stay with us.” I was trying to be logical with a five year old, but all that got me was glares from both father and daughter.

Shit!

Landyn chimed in. “Layla, can you bring me something to write with? I want to give you my phone numbers so you can call me anytime you want to. No matter what time it is, if you need me or just want to talk, you call me, okay?”

“Yeah,” she responded unhappily and dragged her feet down the hall while mumbling, “I’ll be right back.”

As soon as Layla was out of sight Lan turned on me. “Don’t lie to her, baby. We’re together. The sooner she knows it, the sooner she’ll adjust to me being around.
