The time of the day rolled by fast. Doc and Babe grew more nervous by every hour. As it grew to ten minutes to seven, Doc started to pace around the house. Babe watched Doc from the couch and just couldn't take it anymore.
He got up and stopped Doc in his tracks and wrapped his arms around Docs waist. "Babe...I'm so nervous for our little girl." Babe chuckled. "Yeah I can see you are."
He kissed Doc and then Doc rested his head on Babes shoulder. Babe started to sway both of them side to side. "So, how do I look?" A voice said. Both Babe and Doc turned to see Sophie.
She had her hair flowing down, with curls. She wore a lavender dress with her Chuck Taylor high-tops. Doc got a little teary eyed.
"Oh, baby girl. You look so beautiful. Babe, get the camera."
"No dad, don't get the camera." Sophie cried. Babe went and got the camera. "Yes, just one." Doc got next Sophie and smiled. She finally smiled and Babe took a picture, Doc and Babe reversed roles, and Doc took a picture.
"Are you done now, Dad?" Babe and Doc both laughed a little. "Yes, we're done." Babe answered. When Babe finished his sentence, they heard brakes from a car outside.
Sophie rushed to the window and looked outside, "It's him!" Doc and Babe looked out the window to see him. He got out of the car and began to walk up the stairs on the front porch.
He got on the porch and Sophie got so excited she rushed out the door and ran to hug him. The boy smiled and hugged her back. Doc and Babe followed slowly out to the couple.
The boy noticed the men. He let go of her and went to shake their hands, "I'm William Guarnere, sir." Doc and Babe shook his hand. "I'm Sophie's father, Doc, and that's her other father Babe." Doc said to William.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, both." "And same to you." "I'm sorry, I can't stay and chatter, but I think Sophie and I should get going, if we're to get something eat and then the movie."
"Alright. Listen young man, I want her home by eleven tonight." Doc said. "Yes, sir." "Oh and you be good to her." William smiled, "Of course, sir." They shook hands again, and William then walked over to Sophie and brought her to the car.
He opened the passenger door for and she got it, smiling. William then rushed around to the driver side and got in. Sophie turned and waved to her fathers. They waved back and the car drove off.
Doc fell into Babes arms with a tear, "Our little girl has grown up, Babe." "Yeah, she has." Babe smiled and wiped Docs tear away. He then brought them both inside, to wait and hear about Sophie's night.
