Missin You 2

Algee's POV
"Ughhhh I was watching uncle Keith's live!" Y/Daughter's/N said as I took her phone. "You can get your phone back after yo homework is done" I said and drank from my glass of water. I been trynna be a lil healthier lately. I sat the phone next to me on the island top.  I was all for letting her have fun and being the cool dad, but when it was time to be serious, it was time to be serious.

"You know we have that Muffins with Mom thing for school coming up," she said. I nodded. Every year I would go in place of Y/N. It didn't seem to take a toll on Y/D/N, but it hurt me like hell. Y/D/N hasn't asked about her mom in years. "You don't have to come this time," she said while writing. Huh? That kinda caught a nigga off guard. "I go every year. What you talkin bout girl?" I joked and slapped the counter.

She kept quiet. Something was most definitely up! "You aight baby girl?" I asked and poured the rest of the water that remained in the cup into the sink. "Ahh you mad cuz I took yo lil phone huh?" I asked and laughed. All of a sudden she just threw her head down onto her notebook and burst into tears. I quickly went around to comfort her. I didn't know what was up. "They say she left because I wasn't good enough," she cried out. "Daddy is that true?" She asked.

I swear it was an instant heartbreak. No parent wants to see their child suffering or hurting. "Who?" I asked. She looked up at me. "My momma. Did she leave me because she didn't want me anymore?" She asked. I sighed. This is something I been dreadin forever. I knew I was gon have to tell her eventually. "Come sit down for a second," I said and nodded my head towards the couch.

I sat down while she sat beside me. I calmed her down and wiped her face to remove the tears. "You sure you ready for this?" I asked. She nodded. "I've been ready. I don't know why it's so hard for you," she said. "I hear you crying at night all the time and it scares me dad," she added and grabbed my arm.

"She's gone and she's never coming back. I don't even know her or have ever gotten to meet her. I just always wondered and wanna know why," she said. She was right. All these years I've been keeping it from her. She can't exactly miss what she's never had. Not because she wasn't ready, but because I wasn't. I just can't accept the fact that Y/N's gone.

"She loved you Y/D/N. Unconditionally. Idk who been filling yo head with this bull, but they just a bunch of haters" I said and looked over at her. All I saw was Y/N. She was a spitting image of her. "She was the happiest woman when she was pregnant. Always had me singing to you in her belly," I said reminiscing. It was a love straight out the movies!

"So what happened to her," she asked. "Sometimes one person has to leave for another person to arrive," I said in other words. I didn't wanna say it too bluntly. She looked at me confused. " She lost too much blood while giving birth," I said and looked down at my lap as a tear slid down my face. I remember it like it was yesterday. The doctor told us that it wasn't safe for her to have the baby. It was either her or the baby's life.

I told Y/N that there would be other chances, but she didn't have hope and was so confident that she needed to have this baby. I didn't wanna lose her, but I wanted her to be happy. She'd built such a strong bond with Y/D/N and she just couldn't let her go. Y/D/N was her happiness. Man it was crazy. That girl was my everything! Of course I missed her, but I don't regret anything. Y/D/N is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

"So it's my fault?" She asked and wiped my face. "No no no," I interrupted her. "I don't want you ever to think that. She knew it could happen, she just wanted you so badly," I explained. "Your life meant more to her than her own," I added. It was true too. Y/N was such a selfless person that it killed her.

"Why does it hurt so much?" She asked with a frown. It hurt me that my baby was hurt. "You're getting older and thinkin a lot more. Not saying that it'll stop, but we have faith, peace, and blessings to make it better and to get us through it" I said. She jumped up and hugged me. "Thank you daddy," she said. "For what? I asked and chuckled.

"For being the best daddy in the world. Even though she may be gone, I know that I have a part of her in not only me, but in you too," she said. I nodded and kissed the top of her head.

I pray to God every day and thank him for every blessing he's sent my way. Ik It'll get better and we'll meet again. But until then, Y/N.................I'll be missin you.
