*Maddie* "Aww she has gotten so big". I say, as Bren walks in with Stella on his arm. I had told them to please bring her along today. "And sorry to say but you can't run from being her father". She is such a pretty little girl, and she has Dahlia's blue eyes, but Bren's dark curls and definitely his nose. He grins. "Like I would ever want to, she is my pride and joy". "Of course she is". I grin. It feels good to have something positive to focus on. As he gives me a one armed hug Stella reaches for me, and he looks at me. "Seems like she wants to hug aunt Maddie too". "Here give her to me". I take her from his arms, and notice how it makes him smile, giving me a feeling he wanted this to happen. "Hi princess". "Hi..". Dahlia walks in, but stops and a similar smile speeds on
