You sat alone on the couch with your 2-year-old daughter Amelia sleeping peacefully on top of you. You softly stroked her back as there was a quiet knock at the front door of your home.

You slowly set Amelia on the couch, surrounding her in pillows until you returned to your spot.

You opened the door to find none other than your ex-husband and Amelia's father, Chris Sturniolo, at the door. He threw you a smile as he whispered a simple "Hey."

There was no bad blood between the two of you. The relationship was a bit complicated due to Chris's career and schedule, so you both thought it'd be best to get a divorce. 

Chris was an amazing father to Amelia; the little girl adored him. Seeing as Chris was constantly busy with work, he agreed to let you have Amelia the majority of the time. Whenever he came to see her, he would go to your house to see her. That's just how co-parenting worked between the two of you.

Chris entered the house and embraced you in a hug, which immediately gave you butterflies. It was no secret that you were still madly in love with the man in front of you. Well, it was no secret to everyone but him.

Your decision to divorce him filled you with immediate regret.

You led him over to the couch where Amelia was still fast asleep, now hugging one of the pillows. You looked over at Chris to see him smiling to himself.

He slowly sat down next to her sleeping body and carried her in his arms before whispering a gentle "Princess... Princess wake up," in her ear.

Her eyes fluttered at the sound, rubbing her eyes until she could fully see what, or rather who was in front of her.

Her once sleepy gaze turned into an enormous smile once she saw her dad.

"Daddy!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her small arms around his neck.

"Hey, Princess. I missed you," He smiled as he placed a kiss on the top of her head. You smiled at the sight. Oh, what you'd do to be a family again. 

You made your way into the kitchen, preparing some mac & cheese for Amelia's lunch.

"You want some Mac & Cheese?" You asked Chris. He looked up from his conversation with Amelia to shout a quick "Sure," before going back to talking to his little girl.

"Daddy, why don't you sleep over?" Amelia asked him as she toyed with his hands:

"Because daddy doesn't live here anymore, princess,"

"Why not?.." She gave him a cute little frown.

"Well uhm... Mommy and Daddy aren't together anymore. I still love your mommy very much, and I wish we were together, but we aren't." He whispered as he smoothed her hair.

"But mommy loves you too, Daddy," Chris's eyes looked at the little girl in shock. For a 2-year-old, she sure as hell understood a lot more than people think.

"What are you two goofballs whispering about over there?" You joked as you set their plates on the table. 

"Nothing Mommy!" Amelia shouted as she ran to her big girl chair (she had been learning how to sit in one without falling over... she was doing amazing), giving Chris the 'uppie' arms as her way of signaling to him to lift her into her chair. 

"Thank you, Y/n," Chris smiled at you before sitting down to eat with Amelia. 

You excused yourself as you went to the bathroom. As you washed your hands in the sink, you heard a little "Do it, Daddy," come from your daughter's mouth. You loved the bond Amelia had with Chris. She really had him wrapped around her finger.

As you exited the bathroom you ran into Chris's frame. You apologized but Chris wasn't listening. 

"Can we talk for a minute?" Your heart dropped. The last time those words were said, it ended in your divorce. Nonetheless, you nodded your head, leading him to the foyer, as it was much quieter. 

"What's going on?" you asked as you looked into his beautiful blue eyes, trying to figure out where this conversation was going.

"It's about us.." Chris started and you stopped breathing for a moment before you nodded, telling him to go on. 

"Look, I'm gonna get right to the chase. I miss you. I miss Amelia. I miss you both more than ever. I miss being a family." You were more than shocked at his words.

"I know I'm the one who decided to get the divorce, but it was probably the dumbest idea I've ever had. I want us to all be together again," he pleaded with you.

"Chris, you have no idea how much I regret ever agreeing to leave you. I miss you too. It's been so hard these past few months without you," you had tears cascading down your face at this point as Chris wrapped you in a tight yet comforting hug to try and calm you down.

"Amelia's getting older, and I'm struggling trying to balance work and taking care of her. Amelia and I both need you now more than ever," you wiped the tears from your face as you looked up at him. 

"I know, and I'm sorry for not being around as often as I should. I have the next few months that aren't so busy with work; we can try to fix this." He gestured between the both of you as you smiled and quietly nodded.

"I think both Amelia & I would like that," you smiled at him before he leaned down and gave you a gentle kiss filled with so much love, a kiss that you'd been yearning for since the day you signed those stupid divorce papers.

Your kiss was interrupted when you heard tiny footsteps running toward you, as tiny arms grabbed hold of your leg. Chris bent down to Amelia's height and picked her up.

"Guess who's sleeping over!?" You giggled as Amelia's face burst into a smile as she looked at her dad.

"Are you and Mommy back together?" She asked Chris before he looked at you and smiled.

"We're working on it, princess," his beautiful smile remained painted on his face as he pulled you closer to him and kissed your forehead.

"My girls." He mumbled into your hair before he began to tickle Amelia as she giggled loudly.
