Tattooed Scars

Chapter 24

                                 Felix's POV
"Yeah. I-I know. I don't regret having Destiny though. If you think of it this way...the girls brought us together."

"Yeah. You're right. They really did. Go get ready girls."

They jumped off the couch and ran away.

"Yesterday, when you were talking about not wanting to lose family...you were talking about me, weren't you?"

"Yeah. I-I'm sorry. I-I should've told you. I just thought, you didn't feel the same way."

"Well...I do. That hug just now...made me feel like a family. You don't understand how long, I've been waiting for that to happen."

She kissed me.

"I probably look like shit. I'm going to get ready."

"You look fine."

"I just woke up."

"So?"

She got up and started walking away. I started following her.

"Hey! Get back here!"

She started laughing. She ran into our room and locked the door.

"Okay not funny!"

I started trying to open the door.

"Come on. Let me in."

"Why?"

"Please?"

She unlocked the door then opened it.

"Yes?"

I started kissing her. I shut the door.

"Woah. Later. "

"Oh come on. Give me 5 minutes please."

She rolled her eyes.

"DADDY! WE'RE READY!"

"Does that answer your request?"

"Damnit."

"Go stall. I'll go get ready."

"Oh come on. Baby are you serious? I gotta wait?"

"Yep. Go entertain our daughters."

"O-our daughters?"

"Uh yeah. "Mariposa Gallagher" sounds nice."

"This is gonna be a brutal afternoon for me."

"Oh well."

She opened the door.

"Go on."

"Fine. I'm going."

I walked out the room. She shut it.

"Hi daddy!"

"Hey girls."

"So are you my daddy too?"

I nodded. Destiny started hugging me. I smiled. She started jumping up and down.

"I have a daddy! I have a daddy!"

"Desi we can get matching sister things now!"

"Oooo! Daddy can we do that?!"

"That's fine with me. Ask your mom."

"That's fine with me."

"AH! How long have you been standing there?"

"Damn. It took you a minute to figure out, I was behind you."

She slid her arms around my waist.

"A-are you ready?"

"Yeah."

We went to the mall and picked out a ring for Mariposa. We had to go to a different store so the girls could get matching sister things.

"They're so adorable."

"I know."

Mariposa started holding my hand. I interlocked our fingers. The girls found necklaces and ran up to us.

"I'm the older sister so I get this one!"

"I'm the younger sister so I get this one!"

I paid for the necklaces then, put them on the girls. They both hugged me. We stayed long enough for it to be dinner. After we ate, we went home. The girls got ready for bed then went to bed. When we got to our room, I started kissing Mariposa.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I started kissing her neck.

"I'm never letting you go."

"Good."

In the morning, the girls ran into our room and started shaking us.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

We jumped up.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a lady at the door."

"Did you open it?"

"No."

"FELIX?!"

My eyes widened. I stood up.

"Girls stay here."

"Who is that?"

"This can't be real."

I ran downstairs and opened the front door. I saw someone, I thought was dead.
