Hidden Blessings

HB C5

"Daddy." Adaley said shaking him awake the next day.
"Morning princess." Seth said. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah but my heart hurts." She said laying next to him.
"I hear ya." Seth said kissing her head. "I miss her too."
"I really want her here with us." Adaley said.
"I know." Seth said. "How about we go out and see Star today."
"Really?" Adaley asked.
"Yes, I bet your horse would love to know you're talking." Seth said. "You know she's been worried about you."
"Okay." Adaley said.

After some more cuddles they had breakfast and then headed out to the stables.
"Good morning." Tom the stable owner said. "Come to see Star?"
"Yes." Adaley said shocking him.
"So this lass has a sweet voice after all." He said.
"She does." Seth said. "She's learning to use it again."
"That is wonderful and Star will love it, she's missed you." Tom said.
He walked them into the stable to where Star was located. Star snorted when Adaley entered the stall and came over to her.
"Hi Star." She said and Star nayed at her.
Adaley smiled and reached up and petted her nose.
"I have so much to tell you." Adaley said. "Can I ride her?"
"Of course, she'd love that." Tom said.
He gathered her gear and saddled Star while Adaley got her gear on.
Once in the yard she mounted her and began walking around the track with her talking to her while Seth sat on the fence.
"She seems lighter." Tom said.
"She is." Seth said.
"How?" Tom asked.
"She met someone who understands her story and what's she going through." Seth said.
"Oh." Tom said.
"A while back I did the Raw reunion and we went because Adaley wanted to meet Becky Lynch." Seth said.
"The Irish one?" Tom asked.
"Yes." Seth said. "To my complete shock she talked to Becky."
"Really?" Tom said.
"Yes." Seth said. "It was like a light was turned on in her. They texted for a month while Becky was on the road and then last week she showed up here and changed everything."
"Not just for Adaley it seems." Tom said.
"No, she changed me as well." Seth said. "She made me see I had stopped living and we were stuck."
"Very wise of her." Tom said.
"So we decided that it was time to live again." Seth said. "I went back to I wrestling and Adaley started talking again."
"Well that is good." Tom said. "We often get lost in the pain but over coming it can be hard."
"It can be and we're still making progress, Becky had to go back to LA this week and we're having a bit of a hard time."
"Which brings you here for some horse therapy." Tom said.
"Yeah." Seth said seeing Adaley riding Star and talking to her. "She needed a distraction."
"It might be new but something tells me it's love." Tom said.
"It feels that way." Seth said. "Adaley asked me to make Becky her mommy."
"Going after what she wants." Tom said.
"Yeah." Seth said. "I told her to give me time."

After a few hours they road back to their place.
"So was Star happy to hear your story?" Seth asked.
"Yes." Adaley said. "I told her all about Becky."
"Wow." Seth said. "Does Star approve?"
"Yes." Adaley said. "She wants me to be happy."
"Me too baby." Seth said.
"My heart still hurts." Adaley said. "Can I text Becky?"
"Sure." Seth said handing her his phone.
Adaley turned it on and pulled up the message and sent Becky one.
"She usually text right back." Adaley said.
"She might be working out." Seth said. "Remember she said she needed to do some."
"I know." Adaley said sadly.

"Okay, you enjoy your bubbles and I am going to make arrangements for dinner." Seth said.
"Okay." Adaley said digging her bath toys out.
Seth smiled and walked to the kitchen. He already has reservations for their dinner but he wanted to make sure the flowers and chocolates he ordered were on their way.
'Hey kiddo, what's up?'
A text message said coming in.
'Kiddo is bathing, but she misses you as much as I do.' Seth replied.
His phone rang a few minutes later.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." Becky said. "How are things?"
"Good, took Adaley out to see her horse Skye." Seth said. "We are it horse therapy."
"It's a gold form." Becky said. "Maybe we can go riding one of the times I am there."
"She would love that." Seth said.
"Are you excited for date night?" Becky asked.
"Yes, she asked to go to this place my cousin had her wedding." Seth said.
"Sounds like fun." Becky said.
"Yes, I have flowers and chocolates on the way too." Seth said.
"You are a great da." Becky said.
"I am doing my best." Seth said. "I am just glad my baby girl is learning to live again."
"You both are." Becky said.
"Yes, we miss you."
"I miss you two as well." Becky said. "Josh is keeping me distracted but it's been hard."
"I hear ya, my daughter keeps telling me her heart hurts." Seth said.
"Poor baby." Becky said. "And your heart?"
"My heart misses you as well." Seth said.
"Daddy." Adaley called from bathroom.
"She's having a bath right now, I better go get her out." Seth said.
"Have her call me later." Becky said.
"I will." Seth said.
