The dance of love

Chapter 65

Alexa's pov:

We ended the call and I couldn't help but smile. I was more than glad that he was okay. "Mommy who did you talk to?" a sleepy voice asked. I looked at Mila and smiled "I talked to Michael sweetheart. He's here at the hospital too, you know." "Can we visit him mommy?" she asked. I gently ran my fingers through her hair "Yes we can, he waits for us." "Then we have to go now mommy." she looked at me with her head slightly bent to side. I agreed and gently picked her up before leaving the room. "Where is Michael mommy?" Mila asked while we walked towards the elevators "He's at the top floor sweetheart" I answered and pressed at the button for the elevator. It took about 2 minutes until one of the elevators opened so we could get in. "Mommy can I press the button?" Mila asked "Sure, you have to press the one with the 6 on it, ok?" I pointed at the button and she pressed it. The door of the elevator closed and we went to the 6th floor. The door opened at the 6th floor and we got out. "Now we have to find room 467, okay?" I looked at Mila and smiled. "Okay mommy" she said and began to look for the right room. We went down the hallway and then to the left when I saw Frank standing in front of a door. "Frank" I called out. He turned around and came a few steps towards us. "Alexa! Mila! I'm so glad to see the both of you being fine. I was so worried" he said. "I'm glad Michael is well too" I smiled. "Yes, me too" he said in a thoughtful way "Should we go inside? I'm sure he can't wait to see you two." he added and smiled. Then he slowly opened the door "Wait here for a second" he said and walked into the room. "Michael there are two beautiful ladies standing in front of the door, should I let them in?" I could hear him say. I couldn't help but giggle "Mommy is Michael in there?" Mila asked "Yes he is" I smiled at her "Do you wanna go inside and say hello?" I asked her. She nodded and I let her down. Then she slowly peeked her head through the door and immediately started to smile. She turned towards me with a bright smile on her face "There is Michael" she giggled "Well go to him" I laughed. She giggled and ran into the room. "Mila" I could hear Michael say. He sounded relieved and happy to see her. I waited a few seconds before I made my way into the room. When I entered the room Mila was sitting on Michael's bed and cuddling him. Michael was smiling brightly when he saw me. "Alexa" was all he managed to say. I closed the door behind me and walked towards Michael's bed. "Hey" I said as I sat down on a chair next to him. He looked at me with this beautiful angelic and innocent smile. You could see the happiness in his eyes. "How are you?" I asked him as I gently took his hand. "Now I'm fine" he said. He quickly looked down at Mila and biting his lip to hide his blushing cheeks. I couldn't help but giggle. "I guess I'll leave you alone for a bit" Frank laughed and left the room. I watched him leaving the room, then I turned back to Michael. "Thank you Michael" I said with a sigh of relief remembering he saved my daughters life. He looked at Mila before answering "You don't have to thank me. The thought of her getting hit by that car was too much to bear. I couldn't have let that happen" tears were forming in his eyes as he looked at me. I took a deep breath to fight the tears myself. I was still holding his slightly squeezing it. "Everything is ok now" he calmly said. A smile was forming on both of our faces. "I owe you big time" I said "No you don't owe me anything" he said. "I do. If you ever need anything, just let me know" I wanted to give him something in return, no matter what. I mean, he risked his own life to save my daughter. I owed him big big time. "Michael?" Mila suddenly said. "Yes Mila?" he looked at her with a smile on his face. "You are a hero" she said with a giggle "Oh really? Am I?" Michael asked. Mila sat up and looked at him. "Uh-huh!" she exclaimed "Mommy and auntie Lia said you are a hero. And mommy never called someone a hero before." she said with a serious look. Michael and I both couldn't help but laugh. "Well when your mommy said so, then it must be true huh?" he said and looked at  me. I could feel my cheek turning bright red. Why does he have to be so... so cute?

Michael's pov:

Alexa was blushing bright red, it was kind of cute. I was glad to have her and Mila here with me. Mila was cuddling me and playing with the blanket while Alexa and I talked about this and that. After a while her phone rang, she excused herself and left the room to answer the call. In the meanwhile I played with Mila.
"Do you have a daddy?" she asked out of nowhere. "Yes I do" I answered. I was never allowed to call Joseph dad or daddy, but after all he was my father. "Is he a super hero?" Mila asked and I snapped out of my thoughts. "If he is super hero?" I chuckled. Joseph was far away from being a hero at all. But oh well, he's my father and that will never change. I sighed "Well, I don't know if he is a hero" I finally answered Mila. "Aren't all daddies super heroes?" she looked at me. "You know, it depends on how many good things the people do. When they help others, then they can be heroes."
I said "Daddies can be heroes too." I added. "You are a hero" Mila said her head slightly bent to the side "Are you a daddy?"
I sighed "No i'm not a daddy yet" she looked at me with a questioning look "Why not?" she asked "I don't know" I answered, I didn't really know what else to say. "Do you wanna be a daddy?" she asked with a smile on her face "Yes I would love to be a daddy" I answered feeling a smile form on my lips. "You know" she said "I don't have a daddy" she bent her head to the side "If you want, you can be my daddy" she continued and smiled brightly. I couldn't help but chuckle, she was really the cutest little girl i've ever met. I loved her, and the thought of me being her dad was heartwarming, but kinda impossible. Alexa and I are just friends and I couldn't just ask her 'Hey can I be your daughters father?'. I sighed and shook away the thought. I looked at Mila and smiled not knowing what to say. "Will you be my daddy?" she asked again "Pleeeeeeaaaaaaasssseeeee" she pleaded. "That's something your mommy has to decide sweetheart" I laughed. At the same moment Alexa came with a questioning look but still smiling "What do I have to decide?" she looked at me. I tried to say something but Mila was faster "Mommy can Michael be my daddy? I want him to be my daddy. Pleeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeee" I could feel my cheeks blushing bright red. When I looked at Alexa she was chuckling. "You want him to be your daddy?" she smiled at my Mila "Yes! Michael isn't a daddy yet but he wants to be a daddy and I don't have a daddy." Mila explained. It was so so cute. Alexa looked at me and smiled "She wants to make your wish come true" she sat down at a chair next to my bed. "She's so cute" "She is indeed" Alexa said. Before I could say something Frank came into the room scratching his head "Mike we have a little problem" he looked at me not really knowing how to say what was going on. "What's wrong?" I asked "Well, Mary called and she said there was a pipe burst somewhere in the main house. She called the mechanic but it could take a while for them to repair the pipe. So you have to stay at a hotel for a while" he said. I let out a loud and long sigh rubbing my hands over my face. "Okay, well book the whole top floor of the Hilton Hotel here in LA" I said scratching my head. "No" Alexa quickly said. Frank and I both looked at her "You don't have to stay at a hotel, you can stay with me and Mila" she suggested "That really nice of you but I don't want to be any worry" I said. "Michael that's the least I can do. The house is big enough and I'm sure Mila would love you being around" she smiled at me. I looked at Mila and then back at her "Okay but only for a week, I don't want to be any worry" I said "You would never be a worry" she said with the sweetest smile. "Thank you Alexa, I really appreciate it" It was really nice of her offering me a place to stay at. We talked for a few more minutes until it was time for Mila to sleep. I hugged Mila and gave her a kiss on the cheek.  "Good night Mila" I said and hugged her a last time. Then I hugged Alexa, we said our goodbyes and she left with Mila. I smiled to myself knowing I was gonna stay with them. Frank and I talked for a while before I fell asleep.
