================================================

Chris knocked on his mother's front door, after a long year of shooting two consecutive movies, he was finally back home for a good chunk of time before the press junkets began. He couldn't wait to spend time with his little daughter. Of course he had come home for a few weeks but it wasn't enough. He wasn't content.

"Chris !" Lisa exclaims engulfing him in a big hug. Both of them walk inside as Chris sets down his bags near the entrance.

"Where's Y/N ?" he asks frantically looking around for his daughter. Lisa chuckles and drags him to the living room, where Y/N was resting her head on Dodger's back and staring at the TV that was playing Sofia - The first. She looks around and her eyes land on Chris, a huge smile spreads on her face.

"DADDY !!" she screams pushing herself off of Dodger and crawling up to Chris. 

"Hey baby !" he cooed picking her up and hugging her tightly. He sighed contently and peppered her face with kisses. she rested her head on his chest and smiled up at him.

"This is so cute" Lisa exclaims clicking a dozen pictures. Dodger runs up to him and Chris crouches down as he slobbers his face with kisses.

Chris realizes Y/N didn't walk, but crawl. He turns to Lisa.

"Ma, has Y/N started walking yet ?" he asks

"No, not yet" she says nonchalantly.

"But shouldn't she start about now ?" he asks slowly caressing her head.

"Help her then, although it's okay she'll learn in a few months" she says

"Maybe I'll help her but I won't force it on her" he says and Lisa nods.

He hooks his hands around her armpit and helps her stand on his bare feet. When he steadies her, he slowly takes a step forward. He continues walking like this for 45 minutes, after stopping he slowly places her on the ground.

She wobbles a little but manages to balance her body. Chris smiles proudly and walks backwards a little.

"Come to Daddy Y/N" he coos outstretching his hands. She wobbles slowly, as she was about to take a step forward Dodger runs past her knocking her off her feet. She falls back and hits her head on the ground. She starts crying loudly.

"Oh no" Chris mutters scooping her up and rocking her back and forth to calm her down. He rubs the back of her head soothingly. 

"Guess we'll learn to walk later on" he says carrying her to his room. He lays down and lays Y/N on his chest and both of them fall asleep within minutes.

Scott, Shanna and Carly had come to visit and everyone was sitting in the living room. Suddenly Chris gets a call, he excuses himself from the talk and walks to the front door to talk. Y/N notices him walking out and fears that he was leaving again, her bottom lip quivers as she pushes herself up from the floor. She steadies herself like she did in the morning, and stumbles to the front door. 

She sees Chris standing there and runs up to him and hugs his legs.

"Daddy no go" she says in a small voice, Chris smiles fondly and lifts her up.

"Daddy is not going anywhere sweetheart" he says wiping her tears and kissing her forehead.

"You took your first steps Y/N !" he cheers and she giggles.

"Let's go show off this achievement to everyone"
