I was contemplating not knocking but I had to since if I didn't I would look like a bad father, which I'm not I think?

"Pablo come in she's not awake yet" Opened the door Micheal before I even knocked

"Where's Lilic?" I asked walking in

"Preparations for her concert" He shrugged offering me a glass of orange juice

"I'm fine" I declined

"Pablo we need to get along considering we're going to raising a little human together" He said with a smile

I didn't buy his act. If I were Micheal I would hate me right now but he didn't which made me suspicious but I wanted to figure out what Micheal wanted or what he was planning.

"Your right" I smiled back

"Daddy" Came Alma running towards Micheal

I won't lie and say it didn't hurt me to hear her call him dad but I understood that he was the one she was raised with.

"Alma did you make your bed?" He asked as she nodded

"Soccer boy" She said pointing at me

"This is more than soccer boy but you'll find that out later" He said as she ignored him only focusing on the bracelet on my hand

"Mamas favorite" She said point at it

"That's a nice charm, where'd you get it?" He asked as I chuckled nervously

"A friend" I answered simply trying to avoid any further questions

"Alma I have to finish my juice so go with Pablo to put on your shoes" He said as she grabbed my finger and started running to what i'm assuming is her room.

She was like a clone of me, her eyes, her hair, just everything.

"Which one better?" She said grabbing a pair of black and red Air Jordan and shoving them in my face

"Red" I said as she looked at them closely 

"Thank you" She said throwing the black ones across the room

"Can I help?" I said watching her struggle to put her first shoe on

"No daddy can" She said running out the room 

I'm not angry at her for seeing him as her dad. He raised her but I couldn't help but feel anger towards Micheal even though he had nothing to do with it. 

I was about to walk back to the kitchen when I heard Micheal whispering to Alma and I could help but overhear

"Let's be nice to Pablo" He whispered 

"All he wants is to get to know you okay?" He said crouching down to her level

"Okay" She said as he sat her on the counter and finished helping her put her shoes on

"Now go get you jacket from the couch" He said as she ran out the kitchen

Was he really encouraging her to be more welcoming to me more or was this a trick.

"Thank you" I said finally walking in 

"No problem man" He said patting me on my shoulder

Micheal wasn't that bad.

"You're cleaning up her toy room!" He yelled from the distance

Shouldn't have celebrated too early

"Can i just call a cleaner?" I asked from the distance
