It was time have the talk with Madison. No, not the when a women and a man start to feel very special, they make love talk. I have to talk to her about her if you feel uncomfortable and stuff. Might as well tell her right now since I'm giving her a bath.
"Bubble beard," Madison giggled as she gathered the foam around her face.
Yes, she's four in a half but that's not going to stop me from telling her. Not to mention, she's going into school and I want her to know that if someone is making her uncomfortable, she has to tell me.
"Princess, you're going to school someday, okay. There's a lot of things happening in and out of school, if someone touches somewhere that you don't want them to touch you, you tell me alright? Daddy will take care of it. Even if it's the teacher or someone older. Now, if someone calls you a name, you tell the teacher. And if the teacher doesn't say or do anything. . .," I wait for her to finish my sentence.
"I tell Daddy," Madison finishes as she plays with her rubber duck.
"Good girl. Do you know what uncomfortable means?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Uncomfortable means that you don't like it, you don't feel safe or irritation. Don't be scared to tell me if you feel that way, I'm always here for you. No matter what. Even if I'm not, which will be pretty soon, I'm here." I assured her. "And that counts with Mommy, too. Always tell her."

"... and they lived a happily ever after. The end," I finished the story and closing it.
"Will you and Mommy have happy after ever?" Madison asked followed by a yawn.
"Maybe, but it depends. Someone might meet Daddy and turn his world around. But you're the only one I love right now." I replied setting the book on the nightstand and getting off the bed.
"I want kitty. We can name it Thor or.. or.. Merida. Maybe Elsa. No, we can name it Marshmallow."
"Why do you want a cat? They're mean, unless like Loki. Loki is perfect." I asked tucking her in and planting a kiss on her forehead.
"I dunno. I think we can even name it 'Kitty'." Madison shrugs.
"I'll think about it, but for now, go to sleep. You have ballet classes tomorrow." I say turning off the lamp and walking over to the bookshelf and placing the book back.
"OK. Night, Daddy." Madison murmurs.
"Night, princess."
I left the door with a small opening and went to my room. I'm thinking of getting a new tattoo, a tattoo with Madison's name. Maybe on my chest or wrist before I go on tour. Maybe on my muscles, yeah, that'd be better.

I haven't really talked to Danielle in awhile, plus this is for serious matters. She answered on the fourth ring. "Hey, Liam." she sounded a bit upset but I brushed it off.
"Hey, um, I called you to make plans with Madison. I'm not hiring a nanny nor will she be staying with my parents. . . Meaning that you will be having her," I explained twisting my fingers and looking at the blank wall in front of me.
"Really? I uh, I mean, I'd be more than happy to. When are you going to drop her off?" Dani asked.
"Well she has ballet classes in the morning, maybe we can meet up there in at 12. I'll message you the place." I replied. I let out a sigh of relief and felt the weight go off my shoulders.
"OK. See you tomorrow."
I don't want to drop Madison off a week before tour, but like what Dani said: stop thinking what she needs and start doing. And that's exactly what Madison needs: to see Dani. Of course I'll be there to say my goodbye and kisses before I leave, why wouldn't I?
