UNEXPECTED ✰ COLIFER

Chapter 28 ✰ Happy Father's Day

Jen's pov

I smiled as I looked at my little girl. She sat at the kitchen table, coloring as if her life depended on it. Sometimes I wondered what she is going to be and what she is going to do. I am sure that a lot of those directions go back to what kind of father a child had. I walked towards Ivy and saw that she was coloring for Colin. The best dad a little girl can wish for.

'What are you drawing, honey?' I asked as I sat down next to her.

She smiled proudly as she showed me her drawing. 'It's a guitar, mom!'

'It looks beautiful, Ivy! Is it for your dad?'

She nodded as she stuck out her tongue while picking her next color. She grabbed a dark blue color from which I knew Colin loves it. 'It's a present for Father's Day'

I pressed a kiss to her head. 'I'm sure he will love it!'

'I wish I could buy him a real guitar' she said without looking up from the paper. Her tongue still a bit out of her mouth while she is focused on her drawing.

'I'm sure that daddy loves your drawing more than a real guitar'

I got up and walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Colin was the kind of man who knows how to impress during Mother's Day and arranged gifts that Ivy could give to me, he made the most delicious breakfast and prepared me a bath in the evening, which we enjoyed together. I smiled at the thought of our beautiful life together, while I was cutting the strawberries. It was certainly not the perfect life, but the fact that he is always by my side makes it perfect enough for me. Throughout the years I have learned that it is not always obvious to have a good and caring husband and day by day I am becoming more and more aware of how happy and grateful I am with Colin in my life.

I smiled at Ivy who was still coloring. The little girl he loves so much and the little girl who loves him so much. She looked up and waved at me with a big smile on her face. Ivy's cheerfulness and kindness was something that many people would envy. She jumped off the chair and walked towards the kitchen, where she pushed the stool next to me and stood on it.

'May I help?'

I rubbed through her blonde hair with my hand. 'Of course. What do you think daddy likes to eat?'

She smiled proudly. 'Pancakes'

I shook my head, laughing. The whole fuss about the pancakes continued to haunt us and, to be honest, I still liked it. It reminded me of our time together at Once which was such an important part of our lives. Together we made the pancakes and we had the greatest fun in the kitchen. Ivy was a real daddy's girl, but she could also enjoy it to do nice things together with me. In the weeks that Colin was kidnapped, we have grown closer together and our bond has certainly improved. I put the pancakes on a plate and put them on the kitchen table. Colin entered the living room with sleepy eyes and Mason on his left hip.

'Goodmorning beautiful'

I smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek. 'Goodmorning handsome. Happy Father's Day! "

Ivy ran to Colin with her arms wide open. 'Daddy!'

He lifted her up in his other arm and rested her on his right hip. 'Happy Father's Day to the sweetest dad!' she babbled as she pressed wet kisses to his cheeks. Colin clearly enjoyed the love he received from his daughter. 

I took Mason from him and put him in his crib. Ivy had already claimed Colin entirely and had wrapped her arms around his neck. She suddenly seemed to realize that she had forgotten something and gestured that she wanted to be put on the floor. She quickly ran to the table and picked up the paper she was so busy with a few minutes ago. 'Look, daddy! I made this for you!' she said proudly as she handed him the paper.

Colin sat on his knees beside her and grabbed the drawing. For a girl of her age, it looked very nice. He smiled gratefully and kissed her forehead. 'Thank you, honey, it is beautiful'

He got up and I wrapped my arm around his waist to guide him to the kitchen table. Before he took a seat he pressed a kiss to my cheek. 'It looks delicious, Jen'

'Ivy helped me very well'

She nodded proudly. 'Yes! Superheroes must eat very well'

He raised his eyebrow with a smile. 'Superheroes?'

'You're a superhero, daddy'
