As soon as I took my daughter from daycare, I fulfilled what I promised and took her to a snack bar and ate a snack with her. She was cute and wouldn’t stop talking about everything, especially her mother and the life they led. She was quite curious and also asked

me so many questions.

“Do you know my mother?” She asked while drinking her juice.

“Of course I do. I know her very well, I replied to her.

“What is your name?”

“Call me Daddy,” I said, and she opened her eyes wide, pleased.

“Really? Can I call you Daddy?”

“Sure, I’m your dad. You can call me Daddy,” I said to her, smiling an stroking her hair.

“I always wanted to call someone Daddy. Mom never told me to call Ricky Daddy,” she said, eating her potato.

“Because he’s not your real father, he’s just mom’s friend,” I insisted on letting her know, and she smiled big.

“Will you come live with us? Jacob’s parents live together with him. Will you come live with us too?” She asked innocently.

“All I want most in this world is to live with you and your mother,” I said to her, and she smiled beautifully at me.

“Yay, that’s good!”

“Does Ricky live with you and your mom?” Lasked like someone who

didn’t want anything.

“Uhum,” she replied as she sipped her hot chocolate.

“Does he sleep with your mommy?”

“Yes, he does.”

“In the same room?”

“Uhum,” the girl continued to respond calmly. I adjusted myself in the chair, feeling uncomfortable with that information. So Laura had really forgotten about me.” But most of the time, Mommy sleeps with me,” she finished her speech.

“Good, less bad.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing, my little angel,” I replied, smiling at her.

“When are we going back to daycare? Mommy must have already shown up to pick me up,” she said, looking out the window of the

establishment.

“Don’t worry about it, today you stay with me. I want to have som with you,” I said to her and she smiled, nodding.

“It’s okay.”

I petted her again and then we talked while we ate. I noticed that her little hands were freezing, so I took her to a children’s store that was close to the cafeteria and bought her gloves, hats, and more coats. Maybe I overdid it with the quantities, but it was my first time with my daughter so I was too happy not to waste it.

Annie was super cheerful and commented on everything and jumped with enthusiasm whenever something pleased her, gestures that made me laugh like the silly father I was being. “Wow! Look how beautiful the square is! Can we go and see it up close, please?” She

asked, pointing to the square where at the beginning of the night they had already turned on the Christmas decoration lights, as it was Christmas time, they had already decorated the square to enter the climate.

“Sure, we can,” I said, placing the many shopping bags in the back of my car, and then I held her hand and went with her to the square, where there were several children and adults just enjoying the moment. My daughter was jumping excitedly as she pointed to the big Christmas tree in the middle of the square decorated and

decorated with lights and chalk.

“Whoa! The tree is huge! Do you think I’ll get a gift from Santa this year, Daddy?” She asked me, her blue eyes shining with expectation.

“Hm. It depends. Have you been good this year?” I asked her, getting

into the role.

She nodded quickly in a cute way. “I behaved well, daddy. I obeyed Mommy and did my whole homework,” she said.

“Then I think you’re going to get a giant gift this year!” I said, carryin her and spinning her around in my arms, making her laugh with. happiness.
