"Daddddiiieeeeeee!" my little girl screamed when she saw me and came running down the steps of her elementary school.
"Bayleigh, slow down!" her teacher called out to her but it was no use. My baby is a daddy's girl. I kneeled as she got close and held my arms out. She jumped in my arms, wrapping hers around my neck. I hadn't seen my baby all week due to the custody agreement I have with her mother.
Because we live in the same city, we made an agreement to alternate weeks. I'll pick her up from from school every other Monday and she'll stay with me until that following Monday morning when I drop her off at school. I know it seems like a lot but it took a lot for us to get to this point. I love my daughter but fucking hate her mother and I mean that in the nicest, humblest way possible.
"I missed you daddy," Bayleigh said, standing back and letting me stand up. I took her backpack from her and opened the back door. She hopped in and put her seatbelt on as I placed her backpack on the floor.
"Daddy missed you too." I closed her door, jogged around to the driver side, and hopped in. Clicking my seatbelt, I started the car and we were on our way. Beyond by Leon Bridges played through the speakers as I nodded to the beat. Every few seconds I'd look in my rear view and see Bayleigh swaying side to side, singing along as well. For her to be only 5, she knew good music.
"Daddy, I'm hungry. Can I have Chick-fi-la?"
"You gon turn into a chicken," I joked.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck," She imitated, flapping her arms like a chicken and I laughed so hard. She was such a character and she got it from me.
"Yes my little chicken. We can get Chick-fi-la."
I thought being in the military would have made me hardcore towards everything but seeing my babygirl? Nothing softened my heart more. I had so much regret for the things I said to her mother while she was pregnant. I just felt so alone at that time and was only thinking about me. I told her to get an abortion and I really meant it. I couldn't believe I tried to hurt my babygirl, I hope she forgives me when she gets old enough to understand my words and knows that her daddy loves her with everything in me.
I was stationed overseas so I had to see her born via FaceTime and my worst fear was her not knowing me. From that day forward, I vowed that she would never not have me. I told her mother that every negative thing I said to her, I take it back and those were just my thoughts from when I was feeling empty. She forgave me. I served for 2 years, came back home, and joined the police academy. Now I see my baby everyday whether it's FaceTime or face to face. She gonna always know daddy.
