My Daughters Father

Chapter 25

Ricky's pov
I'm waiting outside of Joan and nonnas house not sure if I'm ready to enter. I drove 2 and a half hours just to get here and I sure as hell am not driving back soon anytime now.

I sigh.

Joan had called me this morning telling me that Ariana's shooting a music video and that Wilder is sick. Knowing that when anybody is sick they always want their parents so I came as soon as I could to be here for my little boy.

I crack my knuckles and slowly go to the entrance of the home.

I knock on the door a couple times;waiting nervous for some odd reason. I haven't seen the kids in almost a week.

The front door opens and a small white haired, yet beautiful woman steps into view immediately reaching for a hug.

"Oh Ricky!! I'm so happy to see you honey" Nonna says reaching up to kiss my cheek.

I kiss her forehead smiling at the kind old woman. I've always loved Nonna she never judged anybody.

"Hi Nonna, you're looking gorgeous this morning" I gush making the old lady blush and playfully hit me.

"Oh Richard you always know how to make a woman's day don't you" she states letting me walk into the house.

I chuckle walking behind her into the kitchen where  I hear my crying son.

"Oh what's the problem lil man? Daddy's here to make it all better now I promise you" I coo at my baby boy taking him from Joan's hands.

I kiss Joan's cheek as she hugs me and smiles.

"Poor bambino has been fussy all morning. I think he just wants his mommy or daddy" Joan implies pouting at the crying infant in my arms.

I look back at my son.

"Daddy's here. I've missed you so much Lil Alvarez" I coo making the baby look up at me and stop crying.

I smile kissing his head multiple times.

"You see I told you Joan, he only wanted Ricky! Not even Ariana would have been able to calm him down because all he wanted was his father" Nonna interrupts the moment.

I look over at nonna and wink at her. I knew that my kids were bound to miss me, I mean I missed them more than anything else.

I'm about to talk when I here a little voice come from the hall of the kitchen.

"Daddy" is what I hear. It was quiet and almost shy like but I could still hear it.

Oh how I missed that voice.

I turn around and there she stands, my little beauty, my daughter nobody else's;just my daughter.

"Hi Lil A" I smile using the nickname Ariana gave Aviana when she was pregnant with her. It stood for mini Ariana since we thought Aviana was going to be just like her mother, but the meaning slowly changed to stand for Little Alvarez as well.

She comes over to me and gives me a hug. Her arms wrapped around my waist as she looks up at me; happy that I was present.

I switch Wilder to my left arm as I caress Avianas hair. I've missed my little beauty so much.

"How have you been baby girl" I ask kneeling down to kiss her forehead.

She sighs looking down at her fingers, just like her mother would when she's trying to avoid something or someone.
