- Male reader/ Alma

Alma sat at the couch with her pipe in her mouth and a book in her hand. I was sitting on the chair across from her. She was reading and I was reading and finally she broke the silence " Dear?"

I look up " Yes Alma?" I asks softly " Why are you crying?" she asks standing up and putting her book way before walking over to me and taking a drag of her pipe before setting it down on the small table next to me. I reach a hand up and wipe my eye finding a tear.

"oh."

She reaches up and wipes the tear some the other side " Did you read something sad?" she asks as she lowers her hand and places it on my knee. " Um no." I says softly looking at her " I didn't realize I was crying until you said something" I continue with a soft chuckle.

" It was just something Clare had asked" I continued with a soft chuckle. 

" What did she say?" Alma asked softly as she sits down on the arm of the chair. " She asked me if I was her new dad" I said as another tear fell and I wiped it away. I chuckle softly " It was just a simple remark and she was half asleep and I don't know why its affecting me so much." I say softly as I turn and kiss Alma softly.

Alma chuckles " You basically are her new dad" Alma says softly " I mean you are fucking her mother" I slap Almas knee jokingly as I chuckle " I guess you're right" I say with a smile. Alma gets up and kisses the top of my head and walks back to her seat after grabbing her pipe and she sits back down and picks up her book and continues reading.

I smile and continue reading  as a new warm feeling filled the room and me.

~ Few years later~

" DAD!!!!" is all I hear from upstairs before I am booking it up the stairs with a frying pan ( I was making lunch). " What?!!" I say as a bust into the room.

" Miller won't give me back my doll!" Claire cries as she runs and hugs my leg. I sigh " Miller," I warn and Miller stands up and hands Claire her doll back and I smile. " Can we share?" Miller asks and Claire nods and lets go of my leg and goes to play with Miller again. 

I smile and leave the room and all I hear is gilling and a faint " Thanks dad" and I smile

It wasn't 'I love you ' but it felt like one.
