I watched over her shoulder as our daughter colored a new picture. It was dinner time and I wanted to spend time with her while I cooked.

"Mommy when is daddy gonna be home?"

I sighed as I stirred the pot.

"I told you yesterday baby, not till tour is over."

That was a lie, she just didn't know it. I turned around to face her and she didn't even seem fazed anymore.

"Okay. It's just that, our school holiday party is tomorrow and I wanted him to be my valentine."

She held up what she was working on for me to see.

"I made him a special card and everything."

I smiled at her as I wiped my hands on a towel.

"That's beautiful baby, I'm sure we could always call him when I get there and show him."

She smiled down at her drawing before looking back at me.

"I'd love that mommy! It would be like he's actually there!"

I walked to her and kissed the top of her head.

"Yes it would baby."

After getting y/d/n on the bus I went back in the house and checked my phone. Ryan had promised me he would be home for this. He wanted so badly to surprise our little girl at school and I was super nervous he wouldn't make it. I paced around the living room as I got the stuff ready that we were supposed to be bringing. Then the lock on the door clicked. When Ryan walked in I practically ran to him, hugging him tightly to me, the biggest smile on my face.

"Thank God you made it!"

I said into his neck as he rubbed my back.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'm just thanking every divine power we had a day off."

I pulled away from him and gave him a soft peck on the lips.

"So am I, now come on, we have to finish getting ready."

°°°°°°°°°

I held Ryan's hand as we walked down the hallway to y/d/n's classroom. We had gotten our visitor passes but had a plan to leave him in the hallway, until I could call him and surprise our baby. Her teacher was even in on it. I kissed his cheek as we stopped at the door, him handing me the few bags he had.

"After you answer your phone I'll suggest you get here and then you can come in. Mrs furr said she'll have the door cracked."

He nodded and I walked into the classroom. Mrs furr greeted me first, directing me where to go and what to do as the other parents arrived and the students worked on something before the party. As I helped set everything up she pulled me to the side.

"Did he make it?"

I smiled at her.

"yeah he's waiting in the hall for me to call him."

She clapped once in excitement.

"Oh good, I'm so glad, that's all she's been talking about. She's very excited for him to be home for a little while."

I nodded.

"I just hope she's surprised."

She placed her hand gently on my shoulder.

"Oh I definitely believe she will."

Then she turned her attention to the class.

"Alright, are you all ready to get the ball rolling? We're gonna start with putting our Valentine boxes in our desks. I trust you all put a lot of hard work into them."

Then she turned to us parent.

"And you all can go stand with your children until we get ready to snack."

We all nodded and she winked at me.

"And you are more than welcome to call just before we do card exchange."

I nodded.

"Thank you."

I walked over behind my daughter and have her a big hug.

"Happy Valentine's day baby."

She held me tightly.

"Happy Valentine's day mommy."

She sat back in her chair and fidgeted with the box we had constructed together. I looked up at Mrs furr and she nodded at me.

"Hey baby, wanna call Daddy before we give everyone else your Valentine's?"

She nodded quickly.

"Yes Mommy! Call right now!"

She was practically jumping, making me laugh as I dialed him. She pulled my shirt sleeve.

"Video mommy."

I laughed a little.

"okay baby."

I switched it to video and Ryan answered, smiling at us both.

"Hey baby, happy Valentine's day."

She just lit up like a Christmas tree, taking the phone from me.

"Hi Daddy! I wish you could be here! I made you a card."

I laughed a little as he smiled widely at her.

"I know baby. I'd love that too."

I poked my head into the frame.

"It really would be nice if she could give it to you in person."

I winked at him.

"Ya know what? I think that's a great idea."

I watched the background of his video change, looking up at him as he opened the door. I tapped y/d/n's shoulder and pointed at him. Her eyes got wide as she dropped the phone on the desk.

"Daddy!"

She screamed, pushing past me and running into his open arms. I took pictures of them as he picked her up and spun her around, holding her as tightly to him as he possibly could. All the parents awed at the sight as he carried her back over to her desk.

"Daddy I'm so happy you're here! Mommy said you wouldn't be home till next month."

He smiled at her.

"I know baby, I still have shows to play but I'm here today just for you."

She was grinning from ear to ear.

"Good, cause I made you this."

She took the card from me and handed it to him. He opened it and read it, just melting.

"I love it baby."

She beamed at him.

"So you'll be my valentine?"

He kissed her cheek, spinning her around and making her giggle.

"I'll always be your Valentine."
