TOMS POV

It's been a while since Zendaya and i have been an official couple. It's been great, no complaints whatsoever. I love being with favorite girls. They just bring joy and excitement to my life. Today we're dropping daya off at the airport and im going to watching bella for the whole week. I could've went with her but bella has school and we don't want her to miss that. But I've decided that since this is their first time away from each other id try to make it fun for both of them. (Keeping Zendaya updated constantly while allowing bella to have fun.) the plan for the day is to drop daya off and then stop for breakfast with bella then drop her to school . Then i have a few meetings to attend for upcoming projects, then get bella and i guess we'll see what we'll do from there.

We're all on the way to LAX to drop daya off . The car is awfully quiet and i think it's the fact that they haven't been away for each other longer than a few hours. "Guys it's going to be ok, it's only a week." I say to lighten the mood but it doesn't do much.
I take Daya's luggage into the airport and she holds bella. About ten minutes later,shes checked in and needs to head into tsa before the lines get too long. But neither of the girls are ready to leave each other.
"Baby , you have a hour before your flight , you need to go." I say gently
"You're right" she says as she looks down at bella "bells , i have to go and you have school. I promise its only a week and then ill see you . I'll call every day ok my love?"
"Ok momma" bella says quietly.
Zendaya gives her a kiss on the cheek before coming over to me and giving me a kiss. We take some more time to say goodbye u til Zendaya really has to go. As she walks away Isabella just stares at her , before turning and lifting her arms wanting to be held. I pick her up and she cries in my arms. It's moments like these where  I wish i could take all her hurt away but i cant. Her mom works and she has school and theres not much we can do about it. But i can try my best to cheer her up. I walk to the car and i rest her in the passenger seat so that i can talk to her.
"Bubba look at me. mommy is gonna be back in a few days. I promise it wont feel like a long time . We'll go out and do lots of fun things ok?" I say gently as wipe her tears.
"Like what?" Her voice filled with curiosity.
"What ever you wanna do , this week is all about making you happy ok?" I said as i opened my arms for her. She climbed into my embrace and i comforted her. This is going to be something that happens frequently and i meed her to know that shes safe with me.
After a few moments i put her into her car seat and we head back into town with an hour and a half to spear.
We head to bellas favorite dinner to get her breakfast.
She orders blueberry pancakes, which are her favorite and i let her order me breakfast because i was indecisive. She ordered me a breakfast burrito because it's "everything that i like wrapped up"her words. Very true though.

We sit down and talk bout her day and what she's looking forward to doing today. And also a few ideas of what we should do this afternoon. Eventually we have twenty minutes left before it's time for school to start so i pay the bill , leave a tip and we head off. Her school is about 10 minutes away but i still need time to fix her up because ones five and and she just ate syrupy pancakes and two shes been crying and i don't want her going to school like that. With ten minutes left i sit in the parking lot cleaning up her face and fix her hair. Nothing too special just two low ponytails. I walked her to class and then i head back to the condo to clean up a bit before heading out to my first meeting.

A few hours later ..
its time to pick up iz and ive been waiting in the parking lot for a minute so i'd be on time . As i head to her class to pick her up i see that shes still napping . Her teacher informs me that i can wake her up so that we can leave put she looks so peaceful so i just lift her up and collect her bags . I set her into her carseat and i rest down her bags in the car . We have about two hours to spear before it's time for her to head to gymnastics so i just let her sleep. We arrive at the condo and i rest her on her bed and i take off her shoes.
While shes napping i get some work done but about 30 minutes later she wakes up and crawls into my lap. I continue my work whilst i rub her back until she asks for a snack.
I take her to the kitchen and i ask her what she wants for a snack. She ops for a lunchable and a gogurt . I tell her the joke on the side before handing it to her already opened. She laughs at my joke while also rolling her eyes. She so much likes her mom.
Everything was going well until homework time.
"Tommy is dont wannaaaa!" She wines .
"Bubba, you're doing it whether you wanna or not." I say sternly. I usually baby her but homework isn't a compromise . I don't like being the tough one. She's just getting used to me and i don't want her to feel as if im a men person .
"Nooooooooo." She whines more , slouching in her chair.
"Isabella , you have gymnastics in 40 minutes and you're not going anywhere until that homework is done. So let's do it together so you get change and we can head out ." I said firmly putting my foot down.
She huffed and was angry at me but she still got the work done. I looked over it before telling her to go and change. While she was changing daya called on face time.
"So how has the day been so far?" She asks. I tell her everything.
"Oh tom, im so sorry.  If its too much I'll try to get back as early as possible" she says worried laced in her voice.
I shut that all down.
"Baby it's ok , she's only five. I know what i was signing up for when i started dating" i told her calming her down. It was the truth i knew bella for months before we started to even move towards dating. Bellas personality is a unique thing and id never make her feel as if she couldn't be herself.
"Where is she anyway?" Days asked curiously. I call out for bella and she comes into the kitchen.
"Bubba, mommy's on the phone!" I tell her. Her face immediately lights up. "MOMMY! I miss you !" While they talk about their day in pull bellas hair into a bun and i fill her bottle up with water. The bun isn't the best but im working on it and Bella doesn't seem to mind. Eventually Zendaya has to hang up the phone and we also have to head out.

Gymnastics practice went well. nothing major happened but the practice was good . It's now 6:30 pm and i need to get a little food into bella so that she can get ready for bed and be asleep by 8:45. We head to the condo and we discuss what we should have for dinner tonight. After about five minutes we decide on spaghetti and meatballs. While I make dinner bella takes a shower and tidies up her playroom. We both sit down and eat our dinner and converse. When we're done eating we still have about thirty minutes left so i let bella watch a tv show while i wash the dishes.
When im done i look over to see her fast asleep on the couch. I take a picture for Zendaya and then i lift her up and i put her into her bed. After tucking her in , i clean up the condo and then i head to take a shower so that i can go to sleep at a reasonable time.

Three hours later (11:45 pm)

I hear little whimpers and a little hand tapping me. "Daddy,wake up." She says anxiously crying and hyperventilating.
I immediately open my eyes to see Isabella crying at the end of the bed. Im taken back by her calling me dad and I immediately want to jump and do a happy dance but calming her down is my top priority right now.
" bubba come here." I say gently as i start to sit up. She climbs into the bed and lays her head on my chest . "Whats wrong? I ask genuinely concerned.
" I had a nightmare that mommy left and didn't come back!" She says still crying. I cradle her and assure her that it was just a dream . About five minutes later shes calm and we're just talking to pass the time. " i called you daddy, im sorry..." she says . "bubba its ok . You can call me whatever you want once you're comfortable." She smiles and hugs me tighter. "Ok kiddo it's time for bed . We've got an early morning". She snuggled into my side. " Goodnight daddy.." she says slowly dosing into sleep. "Goodnight Bubba.." that night i went to bed with a smile on my face.
