I wake to a feeling of pressure on my chest I can’t place. As I slowly open my eyes, I’m met with Sophie’s bright green ones. Her chin resting on her hand with her broken arm resting beside my head, as she lies on my chest just watching me.

“Good morning, Sweet Pea.”

“Good morning!” she chirps.

This little girl has become the center of my universe, along with her mother.

“What can I do for you this morning? Does your Mommy know where you are?” I ask her.

“Mommy is still sleeping. I don’t get to see you anymore and I miss you,” she pouts.

That face! I swear every child perfects that face at birth. You know, the face that can get them whatever they want, when they want? That’s the way Sophie is looking at me right now, and it breaks my heart.

“I’ve missed you too, Soph. But I have to make sure the other boys and girls are okay. I help make their owies go away,” I remind her as I snuggle her into my chest.

“I know, but…” She trails off.

I gently lift her chin, “What is it, Sweet Pea? You can tell me whatever is bothering you,”

“When you aren’t here, I’m scared that something will happen to me and Mommy. What will happen if Daddy comes back? You have to be here to protect us,” she says quietly. Tears trickle down her tiny face. I hate him for what he’s done to them. A four-year-old girl’s biggest worry should be what Disney Princess she wants to be for Halloween, not whether her dad is going to come back and hurt her or her mother.

I tighten my hold on her and sit up so my back is resting against my headboard, “Sweet Pea, nothing will happen to you or your mommy. I’ll always be here to protect you. No matter what. I love you, Sophie.”

She leans back, looking up at me in shock.

“You do? Really? You love me, Mr. Adam?”

“Of course, I do! What’s not to love? You’re the most beautiful little girl in the world. I’m lucky to know both you and your mommy,” I reassure her.

She launches herself onto my chest, wrapping her arms around my neck in a tight squeeze.

“I love you too, Mr. Adam, so much!”
