My Daughter's Father (Slow Update)

Chapter 9: Family

Gabrielle's POV

Hi readers. I am Gabrielle Flourite, daughter of Lois Lane and Erik. Turning 8 years old next month.

As you've known. I grew up in New York but I know how to speak in tagalog because my mom taught me. She got pregnant when she was 19 yrs old. After 1 month of being pregnant, she decided to go and lived in NY. That is all I know.

When I turned 5 yrs old. I noticed that my uncle were visiting us whenever he's not too busy from our company in Philippines, but not my dad. Then I asked my mom.. "Where is my dad? Why he's not with us? Why he's not visiting us?" I thought my dad hated me. But my mom told me that my dad don't hate me. That he loves me because I'm his daughter. And don't ever think again that he hates me. Then there, I saw in my mom's eyes that she was suffering. I apologized to my mom and after that incident, I stopped thinking that my dad hates us. Mom asked me to not hate my father too.

And now, I finally meet him and it's going to be different for sure. Because dad is here with us now. Not totally. But I'm still happy. Specially now that I am sitting on his lap.

"Why are you grinning baby?" He asks. We are in the living room while mom is in our room. She is preparing because we will go outside.

"Nothing." I giggled while answering my dad's question.

He raises his eyebrow. "Hmm. . You sure?"

"Yup!" I nodded.

"Okay... Ah, there is something I want to know baby."

"What is it dad?" I asked while looking at him.

"Is there.. Ah. ." My dad is stuttering and looks like he is having a hard time to say or ask me what he wants to know.

"Yes dad?" My tone of voice is teasing him.

"Aish! Tatanungin mo lang naman Erik kung may manliligaw si Lois o mahal na ba. Hindi mo pa matanong-tanong, Tsk bading!" He is whispering and talking to himself, but I still heard him.

I smiled secretly. "Hmm, sa pagkaka-alam ko dad hindi po pinapayagan ni mommy ang mga nagbabalak na manligaw sa kanya."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni daddy. I burst my laugh out because of his reaction. "Hahahaha!"

"Nakakaintindi ka ng tagalog baby?" Hindi pa rin makapaniwala si daddy.

"Opo dad. Hindi lang po nakakaintindi, nakakapag salita din po ako ng tagalog." I grinned at him.

His forehead creased and then "Naisahan mo 'ko dun ah!" He said as he tickles me.

"D-dad s-stop! Hahaha,"

"This is your punishment, young Lady." He continues to tickle me.

"I'm s-sorry dad, hahaha," He stopped when he heard my mom's voice.

"Mukhang nagkakatuwaan kayo ah?" Mom asks while having a smile on her face.

"Yes mommy! Haha, it's really fun."

"Haha, medyo lang. Ano? Tara na?" My dad and I stood up and walk towards my mom.
