TREVOR

After our little heart-to-heart in the office, Emma and I went back out into the living room to just relax. Before we had come out Emma and I agreed it would be good for Alexis to spend some time with me and get to know me before we told her who I actually was. The plan wasn’t exactly my favorite, but I knew we had to go at her pace. I wouldn’t risk losing either of them or having Alexis despise me because she didn’t understand why I wasn’t there and let them suffer.

When we came out, Alexis had moved closer to the TV, and Emma just laughed, picked her up, and sat her on the couch. With both of them cuddled together watching the end of Beauty and the Beast, I took the seat on the other side of Emma and let her relax into me. We sat in silence watching the movie. The only noises came from Alexis who was singing along to the songs. The longer we sat there together, the more I realized how much I missed out on by trying to protect Emma and leaving.

I know I said I didn’t regret my decision but a small part of me is regretting missing out on these moments. I didn’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed her or change her diapers. I missed the teething and watching her hit her milestones. She’s only nine but I know I missed so many things in her life. The one thing I can do now is to make sure not to miss anymore. I will do everything that I can to ensure I don’t miss a single school talent show, any after-school activity, or anything else in between. I’ll even be the annoying father when she starts dating who greets her dates at the door holding a gun and reminding them to treat my baby girl right. She’s going to hate it, but I’ll sure love her. I bet her uncles, Knox and Steel, will be right beside me when it happens. When they get to know her, they are both going to fall in love with her, just like me.

Right as the movie is ending my stomach gives a slight rumble. It’s still a little too early for lunch, but if I’m getting hungry, I’m sure both the girls will be soon as well. I place a small kiss on the top of Emma’s head and then lift my arm to slide out from under her.

“I’m going to start lunch. What do you girls want?”

Steel stocked the kitchen this morning when he got here with fresh supplies so I can make pretty much anything. We weren’t sure how long the girls would need to remain here so I wanted to make sure they would have a variety of foods. The freezer out back is stocked full of meat and frozen veggie. I even made sure to stick some ice cream and popsicles in the indoor freezer that I hoped Alexis would like.
