After that night, Dom and I started spending more and more time together. Because he wasn't always able to go out alone a lot, we did things together with Mikayla, which was fine with me. She was a cutie anyway and so funny.

We spent the day at the park, and she said, "Daddy, I want ice cream."

"You do?" He said, feigning surprise.

"Yes."

"And what kind do you want?"

"Vanilla with sprinkles!"

"Okay, but we need to see if Kami wants ice cream, too," he said to her.

She looked up at me, "Kami, do you want ice cream?"

"Hmm, I think ice cream would be great," I smiled.

"Yay!"

Dom scooped up, Mikayla into his arms and held her with one arm as he took my hand with his free hand. We walked towards the ice cream stand, and he ordered three ice cream cones for us.

He handed one to Mikayla while I took mine, and he took his. We walked over to a picnic table and sat down. I watched her sit there and swing her little legs as she licked her ice cream, getting it all over her face. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Sorry, we couldn't spend time alone," he said in between licks.

"Dom, it's fine. You have responsibilities, and I love spending time with Mikayla," I said as I licked my ice cream.

"I'm glad," he smiled.

We sat there, spending time together as we ate our ice cream, and I got a weird feeling someone was watching us. I looked around, but all I could see was people at the park with their kids.

"Kami?"

"Huh?"

"You okay?"

I nodded my head, "Yeah."

He looked at me as I plastered a smile on my face and went back to spending time with him and his daughter. I didn't want to worry about him. It was some weird paranoia.

We finished our ice cream and walked back to the car, where Dom opened a bag and pulled out a wipe and cleaned up Mikayla of the stickiness that she had on her.

When he finished, he picked her up and placed her into the car seat of the car. He strapped her in and fastened the buckle. She let out a yawn.

"It looks like it's someone's nap time," he said to me.

We got into the car, and he pulled out, driving to his house. As we drove, I looked to see someone following us. Okay, I wasn't feeling paranoid this time.

"Dom?"

"Yeah?"

"Someone is following us," I said to him. He drove and glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the person behind us turn every time we turned.

"Yeah, I think you're right."

"I got an idea," I said to him as he arched an eyebrow. It was one place I knew that would detour whoever was following us. I made a call, then hung up.

*******
Dom's POV

Kami gave me directions, and I followed them, then turned into a driveway. A garage door opened and I pulled inside, then it closed behind us. I turned off the car and turned to see Mikayla still sleeping.

A door opened from the house and out stepped Mr. and Mrs. Stevens. I got out of the car as they walked over to us.

"You two, okay?"
