18. What Having A Daughter Mean

Lins pov:

   What does having a daughter mean?

  It means I'll have to chase the guys away from her and interogate every man she brings home.

"So what are your intentions with my daughter?"

   It means I'll be very confused, lord forbid I have to take her shopping.

   "That's not the right colour"
    "Which colour"
     "White"
      "There are four freaking whites!?"

   It means I'll finally have a women around the house again

    "Lin! Do the laundry"
     "Lin finish the song"
      "Lin get off your ass,get shit done!"

   It means I'll watch her grow into a beautiful women who will blow everyone away.

      "Your valedictorian is...."
    But right now...

  It means waking up in the middle of the night to make sure she's not over heating, vomiting or hallucinating.

   "She's still okay, my baby is okay"
 
It means trying to provide as much support as I can well trying to raise a 4 years old and run a musical.

    Baby sitter needs the step ball change and battle of Yorktown needs toys. No wait. That's not... oh jeez

  It means long nights full of tears and fears and worries...

    "Shhh Shhh, I'm here for you. We're going to be okay, we'll be just fine"
  
Yet it also means...

   Laughing along in the kitchen well we make breakfast for Sebastian

She wiped egg on my face. "Gray you little brat come here!" I said chasing her with fflour hands
 
  It means someone will sing the girls parts when we listen to Hamilton.

    "I put myself back in the narrative..."
    
         It means holding her little hand in mine just because I can

    "Lin my hand is sweaty"..."deal bro"

    It means protecting her from all things that could hurt my little girl even though she's fifteen.

   We walked calmly to the subway. 'That guy be a rapist' 'she could have a knife' I unknowingly tighten my grip of the arm thrown over her shoulder
  
      Having a daughter is not easy to define nor easy to do, but I love her
