As we entered the house the night of Rita's birthday I smiled to myself. "Hey, daddy?" Rita said.
"Yes, my birthday princess?" I smiled up at Rita.
"Can we look through our old photos?"
"Of course! Come sit in daddy's lap." I smiled patting my legs as Rita came and sat in my lap, photo albums in hand. "Want to listen to music?" I asked.
"No. I'd rather spend time with you right now." Rita said.
"Awe... but I wanted to play you AJR..."
"Daddy... AJR is not important right now. You're more important. Look I know you love this band and everything but can we just have daddy daughter time right now?" Rita asked.
"Yeah that's fine." I smile at rita as she hands me the photo album.
I opened the book. "Hey, look!" I say.
"Who is that?" I ask.
"That's me, your mommy, your brother Owen, and your sister Jeddrah. We were coming to adopt you that day."
"Is that photo next to the one of you guys me?" Rita asked.
"Yeah! We were taking you home." I smile.
As Rita and I looked through the photo album. I can tell she was getting sleepy. "Let's get you to bed angel." I say setting the photo album down. I took her upstairs placing her into her bed. "Want me to sing you a song?" I ask tucking her in placing the boys plushies beside her.
"If you want." She said as my phone rang. "Perfect timing, guys." I said facing the phone towards Rita. "Hey, pretty lady!" Adam smiles.
"Hi, Rita. Happy birthday, lovely." Jack smiles.
"Hey, sweetie. Did you have a nice day?" Ryan asked smiling.
"I did. Daddy was going to sing me to sleep." Rita said. I nodded.
"What song?" They asked.
"Growing Old On Bleecker Street." Rita smiled.
"Alright boys get ready." Adam said. As they sang Rita's eyes closed as she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
We may be lost and gone forever. The rain will wash our memory. But when we cry we cry together, like it was meant to be.
Jack finished.
"Good Night Angel. Happy Birthday." I said.
"Night beautiful. We hope you had a good day." Adam smiled.
"Good Night, Birthday Princess." Jack smiles.
"Have a good sleep, darling." Ryan says.
"We love you, Rita!" We all said together.
