I was doing some housework while my little girl was having a nap on the sofa as she refused to go take it upstairs in bed but who am i to argue with her at least she was taking the nap.
"Shhh" Ariana smiles to Tori who came through the door. "Hey is it daddy day" Tori asks smiling making me nod. "Sure is. Hate this days sometimes because I have to wait for the call and it drags so so so so much but I get to speak to him" I smile giving her a hug.
"mom made me come see you was okay since you not answered her" "oh i had a baby screaming at me i forgot" I giggle "she is a nightmare sometimes isn't she" Tori looked at her and it was true she probably could be better behaved but her lashing out was caused by her missing her dad and she never really understood why he wasn't with them.
"you think he will be here for her birthday?" "he couldn't get time off when I gave birth to her doubt her birthday will be in his boss's priority" I pout. There would nothing I would love more than my baby to have her daddy on her birthday.

(okay so this next bit is Ariana's PoV but there is slight mentions of how Dalton is feeling. I didn't want to wrote just in third person because its set at Ariana place but also didn't want to miss dalton's feelings out)
"Layla daddy here" I call making her run in jumping on the bed taking the laptop of her mom's knee. "DADDY" she screams smiling widely. "Hi baby girl you okay?" He smiles seeing how beautiful she was made him so happy. "come home daddy" she pouts "he can't angel" I rub her back cuddling her a little bit. "now what would you like for your birthday Layla" Dalton asks making me pout and thats when it hit me. I had been living in hope to see him and that made it clear he wasn't going to be here. "you daddy" She looks up to me kissing my cheek.
Seeing his wife cry was never easy. Especially when he wasn't there to comfort her and his 2 year old was doing it for him.
"I can't send me baby. I need to protect everyone thats why I far away." He explains to her. "I want a my little pony dream house" "okay i will see what i can do" He smiles.
I place the laptop on the bed and Layla crawls into my lap "you tired" I ask her "no daddy here" She shook her head making me nod kissing her head. "you called late tonight baby everything okay down there?" I ask him "we were out in the field" "playing daddy. I could come visit if i can play"
"not that kind of playing angel" He pouts. "oh okay"
After about an hour Layla was beginning to fall asleep. "crawl into Mommy's bed baby you can sleep here tonight" I smile at her making her climb off the bed. "i want my teddies" she giggles "okay" I smile.
"how much longer can you stay" I ask looking at him. "about an hour baby is that okay. I know your missing me because I am missing you too" He pout. Layla came running back with some teddies and bee blanket climbing into bed. "can daddy say night night" Layla asks "of course. Get comfy" he smiles through the screen.
"i love you Layla sleep well for mommy I love you" Dalton smiles "I love you too daddy" she beams. "mommy loves you baby. Mommy take daddy downstairs and let you sleep okay" I look at her and she nods waving bye to Dalton which broke both of their hearts.
"does my baby remember me in person"'Dalton asks making me shake my head "no but we talk about you all the time back here just how much we love you and draw loads of pictures. We sent you one you might not have received it yet." I smile. Being on FaceTime right now was so hard. It made us realise how far away we were from one another. "how is my mom?" "she is great. Misses you but everything is fine over this end" "good I missing everyone, it's really getting to me lately."
"is there no way you could come for your girls birthday" I ask looking down. "It got rejected baby. I tried. I am so sorry" he pouts
"Ari, I got to go. I love you" Dalton pouts "I love you too" Dalton ended the call knowing that I wouldn't.
I stood up placing my laptop down wiping my eyes heading up to bed. Crawling in next to my girl pulling her lightly into my arms "i love you" i whispers holding her tight into my chest.
"i need you baby" I sigh closing my eyes.
