" MOM!" I turned upon hearing my daughter's voice. I ran to her as she jumped into my arms; tears ran down my eyes.
" Baby are you alright? Are you hurt?" I asked her while looking at her. I checked her face, he neck, and her hands. Raining kisses on her face
" I’m fine mummy, I wasn't hurt and I wasn't cold. I was just scared. Where were you mum?" My heart broke as I heard my baby said all those words. At least the queen treated her well.
" I’m so sorry baby, I would have come see you earlier but Mommy was sick because Mommy is having a baby." I watched her for a reaction, looked for any sign of sadness in her eye. She looked at me and back to my stomach.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh" she was jumped up and down as she screamed, o..kay, didn't expect that.
" I’m going to be a big sister. I’m going to be a big sister” she danced.
“Does it mean I’m finally going to have a daddy?" She asked with her eyes looking so innocent.
" Yes you are, and I’m your new daddy, Prince Zachary" her eyes goes wide with excitement.
" A real life Prince" she turns, she looked at me then back to Zack then right back at me " That means Mummy is a princess and if Mummy is a princess, it means am a princess too" she jumped up screaming. I laughed at Zack trying to cover his ears.
" Yes baby, you are a princess." She smiled
" Can I get a tiara prince daddy?” she asked casting her eyes downwards shyly my heart warmed at her calling Zack daddy.
" Of course you will and you will even get to see the Queen and shake hands with her" Jane's mouth remained opened, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and she screamed again.
" I can't wait, I can't wait. Thank you prince daddy" I could see the smile on his face.
" You welcome princess Jane". She blushed at that, my little girl blushing, that’s new.
" Now come on let's go see your room." She grabbed my hand and Zack hand and we walked side by side. I suddenly felt complete, like I am home.
Walking into Jane's room was like walking into pink factory. Everything was so pink. Jane didn't mind, she ran and jumped into the bed. She was jumping up and down. " Do you think she loves it?" Zack asked me.
" I love it so much, I love it, I love it. Thank you so much prince dad,” she told Zack kissing him on his cheek making me giggle.
" Well that answered your question" he smiled at me and nodded. She sat on the bed and I noticed she was tired.
" Mummy please hold me". I heard her small voice tell me, I hugged her and tried carrying her.
" Let me". Zack told me, he carried her from my arms and tucked her in. I lay close to her and Zack laid at the other side, while she laid in the middle.
" Sing for me" I started singing her favorite song.
See the light as it shines on the sea it calls me
No one knows
How deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me
So come find me.
I was stroking her hair and noticed she has fallen asleep peacefully. I looked up and saw Zack sleeping peacefully too; I smiled watching them till I fell asleep too. Now this is home.
