Next day, Hope's POV
Jason, Anna, and I were getting ready to leave. I wasn't ready to go home yet, but I knew that they needed me back home. "Thank you, for everything Joey." I said to him smiling. "You're welcome Hope, you're welcome back here anytime." He grinned. I gave him one final hug before leaving with Jason and Anna. "I'm really gonna miss him.." I tell Jason. "Me too, he was like an uncle to both of us and Anna." He said. I nod in agreement as we walk back to the mansion.
Once we got there, we set Anna in her crib. I went to go find dad, hoping he was ok. "Dad?" I call out. I hear footsteps coming from his bedroom. He came out and hugged me tightly. "Thank Ra you're ok.." He whispered having tears. I hug back. "I missed you dad..." I whisper in return. "I've missed you too, so very much.." He told me hugging me tighter. "Anna isn't afraid of me anymore." I smile. He smiled too. "That's great to hear. Did Joey hurt you?" He asked, his tone turning into a serious one. "No, he didn't hurt me. He helped me get rid of Anna's fear of me." I said. He nodded. "I know you don't like him dad, but I'd like to visit him from time to time...if that's ok with you." He sighed and nodded. "I'll let you visit him, he may be a mutt but he saved my granddaughter from her fear. He also saved my daughter from being without her child." He smiled. I let go from the hug. "Thank you, for being strong for me." He whispered. I smile and nod in response, then go into my room where Anna was looking for me. She coos and reached out as I picked her up. "There's my little princess." I said, using the same nickname my dad used to call me. She giggles happily, nuzzling my cheek. I nuzzle hers in return with a smile. Jason walked in. "Looks like you two are getting along well." He smiled. I nod still smiling. "She looks just like you when she's happy." I point out. He blinks. "Really?" He asked. I nod once again. "She looks more like you in my opinion." He said kissing her head. Anna coos up at him cutely. "Nah, she's a daddy's girl." I giggle and hand Anna to him. He takes her in his arms and smiles. "You think so?" He asks me and I nod. "I know so, I can see it on her face." I said. "If you say so, but I think she's a momma's girl." He says with a chuckle. I roll my eyes playfully. He sets her in her crib and holds me close. "I love you so much. I don't know how I ever got so lucky to have such a sweet, caring, kind, beautiful girl like you." He smiles. I blush a tint of pink. "I'm the one who's lucky. I have a handsome, caring, kind, loving guy to Anna and I. You've been there for me no matter what, and I love you and Anna more than anything else in this world." Now it was his turn to blush. I kiss his lips gently. He kisses back softly holding me close. I slowly pull away and smile softly at him. He smiles too and I close my eyes, relaxing in his arms. He continued to hold me, closing his eyes as well.
Anna's POV
If I had to be honest with myself, I'd say that mom and dad are too lovey dovey. It's gross but I can't stop them. I wish I could but I can't, well, not until I get older anyway. Once I do, then I'll stop them. I'm still afraid of mom a bit. She gives me nightmares. Well, I'm getting tired. Time to sleep.
