What we could've been

My little Hope

-5 years later -

I laid in bed as i hear the door open and smile when I hear her voice.

"Shhh mommy is sleeping" she says sternly

He lets out a chuckle " okay princesses. Now let's get everything ready before she wakes up"

" do u think she'll like it. ooooo I'm so excited mommy to see" she squealing

" she will love it Hope" he says reassuring her

I heard rambling going on and small giggle from my little girl . I try so hard to keep a straight face but those giggles bring smiles to my face. I'm so tempted to open my eyes and see what all the rambling is about.

"Okay how does it look " he asked

She squeals " perffffect "

"Now I think it's time to wake up mommy" I can hear him getting closer

" no no daddy, me me me I can!! " she says as she makes her way to the bed

" mommy mommy mommy!" She says while jumping on the bed

I hear him laughing and I bite my lip trying hard not to laugh

She stops jumping "daddy she not awake " I peek to see her pouting and him coming closer to her

" I think mommy needs a visit from the tickle monster" he says laughing

"Yes!" Hope screams

" 1 2 3 GO! They both say

I am quickly attacked with 4 pair of hands ticking my sides. I burst laughing

" okay hehe okay hehe I'm awake " I say in between giggles

"Yay" they say together as they turn to each other and high 5

I stare at her in awe . Her long brown hair that's almost past her shoulders her face features that are so flawless. She turns and looks at me with those big emerald green eyes and smiles. I think to my self she's her father with my hair

"Happy birthday mommy!!!" She says as she quickly hugs me

" thank you baby girl" I say kissing her head

"Me and daddy made a surprise " she says grasping her hands together and smiling big and Turing to him

"Yes we do! " he says standing up from the bed

Hope quickly gets up and follows his lead and stands next to him

" mommy is queen so mommy gets to eat like a queen!" She says smiling

" yes she's a beautiful queens and that's why she deserve this" he says smiles

He moves from my view to reveal a small table close to the window. With balloons that say happy birthday and roses of every color. I step closer to see a plates filled with pancakes, fruit and cookies. I pick up the card that lays on the plate as I open it I realized it was a drawing Hope made of a flower that say luv you mommy happy birthday!!

"I love this so much!!!" I smile as I turn around to face them

Big smiles grew on their faces . " yes!!" They both said

I opened my arms and Hope runs to me as I picked her up in the air and she squeals

" I love you so much my little bundle of hope thank you for ur drawing" I said and I held her tight

"Luv you to mommy" she turned and looked at him

" Daddy give mommy the pretty queen gift" she smiles at him

I see him reach behind his pocket to take out and a long black velvet box

"I know you your going to say this is to much and you shouldn't have but I really wanted to " he says smiling

I smile at him. He knows me to while
He moves closer to us and opens the box . It was a diamond charm bracelet with the littles letters of H, R and two little figures holding hands . I stared at it in awe it was beautiful. I looked up at him with a big smile on my face. I put Hope down so I could hug him.

" happy birthday Riley " he says as he takes my hand and kisses the ring on my finger.

"I love this so much!!! Thank you so much Charlie!!" I say as I embrace him once again and then Hope hugs our legs.

He scoops Hope up and rest her at his side . " I believe it's time to eat my lady" he says with a smile

"Yay pancakes!" Hope yells

He chuckles and makes his way to the table. I watch as he pulls out the chair for her and places her down. He kisses her head and starts serving her.  I stare in awe at the love he has for her. He knows that his blood doesn't run through her veins, but that little girl was the world to him . They looked up at me as smile.
I smiled and thought nothing can destroy this.
