Zaks POV

It's been a couple months since I officially adopted Sierra after I found her at an abandoned orphanage. It's been tough but I wouldn't change it, this girl has been through a lot, I'm gonna do what it takes to be a great parent to her. I have found a daycare for her to start, obviously I still need to work and she can't always be with me, I can't be with her, I can't rely on anyone to look after her, it isn't fair on them, I adopted her, I'm gonna look after her and do what is best for her, she may only be 2 but it's only a few hours a day. And when the time comes for her to go to bigger school, we'll be OK do let go as we don't have those strings attached.

Today is her first day of daycare, she starts at noon and finished at 3, like I said, a few hours in the day.

"Sierra honey" I say as I sit on the couch. She's playing with her toys on the floor.

"Yeah?" She asks.

"I'm gonna be taking you somewhere in a bit, somewhere you can meet other kids and make some friends" I say.

"Will you be there with me?" She asks.

"No sweetie, I won't, I've gotta go to work" I say.

"But.. But.. Don't you want me anymore?" She asks a little upset. Why would she think that?

"Of course I still want you honey, I'll always want you, why would you think that?" I ask. She gets up from the floor and gets on the couch next to me, I lift her onto my lap and she hugs me.

"My mom and dad left me, they had to go away and I haven't seen them since, I thought you were doing the same thing" She says.

"No, I'm not doing that, you will see your parents again, someday, for now they are looking over you" I say.

"So you're not leaving me, ever?" She asks lifting her head from my shoulder and looking me in the eye.

"Not ever, you're my girl now, nothing will ever change that, I'll be the first person you see when you wake up and the last person you see when you go to sleep, I'm not going anywhere" I assure her.

"Ok, but I don't wanna leave you yet, please don't make me go today, I wanna stay with you for a bit longer" She begs. How can I say no to her?

"Ok, I'll call them and tell them you're sick, you can start in a few days time instead" I say. She hugs me again.

"Thank you daddy, you're the best" She says in excitement.

"Come on then, why don't you get dressed and I can call the daycare and then we'll go out for some ice cream?" I suggest.

"Sounds fun, I may need help with getting dressed though" She says.

"Oh, right, I forget how old you are, find me if you need help sweetie" I say. She jumps off my lap and off the couch and goes upstairs. I love that girl, she's changed me in ways I never thought could be changed, before I found her, I was adamant I wouldn't be a father, purely due to work commitments and not having relationships and that, but when I found her and spent that time with her, she changed me, made me think differently, I realised when I decided to adopt her, I knew the true meaning of love, what I've done for her is what love really is, and it's feels amazing, better than I thought it would. Before I forget, I need to phone to daycare to say she won't be starting today. I get my phone and dial their number.

"Hello this is little kiddies daycare, how can I help?" The lady answers.

"Hi it's Zak Bagans, my daughter Sierra Bagans is supposed to be starting her first day with you today but unfortunately she can't as she's feeling unwell at the moment, I know it's a bit of a coincidence but I don't really wanna bring her in for her not to be up for doing anything cause she's not well, or pass anything to you guys and the other kids" I explain.

"No, it's ok Mr Bagans, understandable, we'll mark her absent, hope she gets better soon and we see you both in a couple days" She says.

"Thank you, bye" I say and hang up.

"Daddy!" Sierra calls. I hear her come down the stairs so I go to meet her at the bottom.

"What's up sweetie?" I ask.

"Well, I got my top on and realised its backwards, and I can't tie these laces" She explains which makes me chuckle.

"Come here let me fix it" I say, I put her top on the right way and tie her shoes. "That's better" I say.

"Are we going now?" She asks.

"Yeah, let me just get my phone and keys" I say. I was on my phone a minute ago and still put it down, never mind. I make sure the house is locked and I take Sierra to the shops, we can an ice cream each and a drink and I take her to the park.

"This is a nice ice cream" She says while running around.

"Just be careful, don't run around too much or you might be sick" I say sat on a bench. She stops and sits next to me.

"Can you push me on the swings when I've finished this?" She asks.

"Course I will" I say and kiss the top of her head. We spend a few hours at the park, she then falls asleep in the car, I drive to the Ghost Adventures office to do some work while she sleeps. When we get there she's still snoring away, I pick her up gently and go into the building, when I get to my office I gently lay her down on my sofa with a cushion and put my jacket over her as a blanket. I go on the computer and start analysing evidence, every few minutes I glance over to make sure Sierra is ok, I must have worn her out, she's been sleeping for about an hour now. I continue to work, a little while later I hear crying and screaming, I look and see Sierra is fighting in her sleep, she must be having a nightmare, she keeps on having these nightmares, she says the dreams are of when her parents left her, obviously I know they died in the car crash, Sierra is the only survivor of her family, but she's too young to know that, how do you explain to a 2 year old what happened to their parents? I get up and go over to the sofa, I crouch by her still crying and screaming.

"Sierra, sweetie wake up" I say gently nudging her. She shoots awake. "It's ok, you're ok, I'm here, daddy's here" I say as she hugs me.

"It was that same dream again, my parents leaving me, I begged them not to go but the people from that place you found me at, they pulled me away from them while my parents were leaving me" She explains while crying.

"Shh, it's ok baby, nobody is taking you anywhere, I'm right here, it was just a bad dream" I say as she continues hugging me.

"I love you daddy" She says and let's go of me.

"I love you too princess" I say and kiss her forehead. "Get some more sleep, your tired, I'm right here, don't worry, if those people do that again, tell them Zak is coming and to leave you alone" I say, she nods and relaxes, soon she's back to sleep and I go and continue working.

Kids, hard work, but the best thing that can happen to you, I feel sorry for Sierra, I wish I could stop her having these bad dreams, it's the same dream every time. Maybe she will grow out of it, maybe in a few years time, I can explain to her what happened to her parents and it may help her.

I love her and won't let anything or anyone hurt her, she's never leaving my side!
