A Wish Your Heart Makes

A dream... a wish.

Y/Ns POV

I wake up to little fingers trying to make their way into my nose. Snorting a little I playfully swat at them. Hearing the cutest giggles I know Gracen is awake and probably waiting on me to make her breakfast.

"Mommy I'm hungry!" She says as she flops down beside me. I peek one eye open and see her smiling back at me.

"Good morning sunshine! Eggos and bacon?" She nods her head.

"Yes please! I'm still going with Daddy today right?" My heart shatters. She was already asleep last night when my phone went off signaling I had a text. Which of course was her sperm donor. Saying that he had to be back on the road and couldn't see Gracen today. Funnily enough I knew it would happen. He hadn't seen her in two years. And only talked to her a hand full of times since she was born. We hadn't even dated. We had drunkenly hooked up at a party one night. Resulting in Gracen, which honestly saved my life. But we had been "friends" for a while. I use that term loosely anymore because the party was his going away party. He took a job across the country. Which was fine. But it's like any time anything is going good for us he tried to swoop in and fuck everything up. As I read his "Sorry I can't see Grace tomorrow. I need to be back at work." Short text message I rolled my eyes and told him not to ask to see her again. I'm tired of him giving her hope to see her dad when he just lets her down.

"Actually baby, he had to go back to work. So I was thinking we would hit the zoo today with Aunt Britt after breakfast! How does that sound?" Her little smile disappeared instantly. But she reluctantly nodded. "Maybe sing some Demi while we cook?" I knew that would bring back Gracens smile. Demi Lovato is her idol. She's in love with everything she does. I get out of bed and pick my daughter up to set her on the floor.

I couldn't help but video her again while she's standing in front of the TV in the living room watching the "Cool For The Summer" music video. She's singing every word and dancing along. I don't think there's a song of Demi's that she doesn't know.

After I post the picture I call Brittany.

"Hey Y/N. Damn Gracie having a concert again?" She definitely is. The music is honestly a little loud but I'm okay with it.

"Per usual. We're having breakfast and then hitting the zoo. Please tell me you can come!" I pretty much begged.

"Duh! Anything for my favorite niece. But have you thought about that girl I told you about...."

I had to interrupt before this goes any further. "Brittany you know I don't want to date anyone right now. I can't just have random girls over. Plus I don't want Gracen to think I don't have time for her." I roll my eyes at my best friend. Yes, I'm gay. But no that doesn't mean every lesbian she comes across I want to date. I'm happy right now. Even though my heart aches for a family. I mean fuck. I dream of it nearly every night. My attention is turned to my daughter when she starts singing "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes." Along with a video of Demi singing it.

"Okay, okay. I won't push. But just know you need to get out there! I'll be over in ten."

"Mommy! Demi is singing Cinderella! How cool is that?!" My daughter comes running over to me.

"Only the coolest! She's so awesome huh?" Gracen nods.

"Okay, go set down I'm gonna get your food for ya." I go to set her plate in front of her but I'm scared by the door flying open and my best friend announcing her arrival.

"Hello beautiful ladies!"

"Shit Brittany! You scared me too death!" I glared at her not paying attention to my daughter setting there.
