Chapter Four: Viktor POV


Five Years Later:


"Papa!" Mikinna squealed from the living room before bursting into a fit of laughter. "Papa, Daddy's tickling me! Save me!" I set down a spoon I was using to stir our breakfast oatmeal with a broad smile on my face.

     "I'm on my way!" I jog through the dining room and jump over Mikinna's skates that she barley had time to drop before Yuuri had swept her up in his arms and hugged her tightly as he always did when she came home. I had never seen Yuuri as happy on the day we met Mikinna and after that there wasn't a day he didn't talk about her. It took a lot of paperwork and time, but eventually we were allowed to take her home for the first time. Two years later, the adoption went through.

     I lean my shoulder against the door frame and watch Yuuri and Mikinna play for a moment. It would never get old. 

     On her first night spent at home we had stayed up much past midnight reading books, eating ice cream and looking through photo albums. She asked questions about our wedding and our families and when she would get to meet everyone in the photos. I told her that it wouldn't be long before she could meet her grandparents, but it might take awhile before she could meet Yurio. "He's a bit moody, like a cat." That bit made Yuuri laugh.

      Around our house were many pictures of Mikinna, both ones that Yuuri and I had taken and ones that had been taken before she met us. We even had a picture from her ultrasound that her biological mother had decided to give to the agency last minute. Her mother had been a teenager when giving birth to Mikinna and tried to care for her for a month before falling into debt. She had given her up for her to have a chance at a better life, but there was a note that we were instructed to give to her when she turned 18. That would be a whole new and exciting adventure.

     "Papa," Mikinna reached her arms out towards me and I walk up to her and bend down so that we were eye level. "I want a hug." She says as she places one arm around my neck and the other on Yuuri's shoulder. I wrap my arms around the loves of my life and rest my forehead on both of theirs. Yuuri exhales a long sigh and I watch I'm smile.

     This is more than I could have ever asked for. This is a wonderful life.
