You stopped yourself from swirling the soup you cooked, looked at your little girl walked in the kitchen with an annoyed face. James followed her behind, holding a cereal bowl in right hand, and milk in left hand.
“Daddy’s not mean, daddy’s just trying to make you eat your breakfast.” James explained half grumbled
“But daddy said if i don't eat my cereal i cant go to zoo this weekend. That’s mean.” Your little girl’s pouting.
You just smiled. James looked at you asking for a help. You squatted in front of your daughter, looked at her fondly.
“Dear.. your school bus is gonna be here in fifteen minutes if you not eat your breakfast now, you’re gonna be late.”
“But Mom...i wanna go to the zoo.”
“of course we will honey. Mom and Daddy have promised you right.
Your little girl smiled “Kay...”then she took the bowl and milk from James and ran to the dinning table, ate her breakfast.
“How did you do that??” asked James amazed.
“With the power of mom.” You said mischievously.
“Ughhh..” he grumbled poured a glass of orange juice and drank it.
“you just need to spend more time with her, she’s just an 8-year old girl who needs her daddy.”
“I know...”James bowed. “I’mma bad dad.”
“No.. you’re not bad. You are the awesomest, coolest daddy ever. Come on don’t be sad.”
He lifted up his face, looking at you and smiling. “and you are the best mommy ever.” He said as pulling you closer.
“We are the perfect parents..” you said kissing his lips softly.
“Mommy, Daddy.. i’m still here.” You heard your little girl screaming from the door, you pulled yourself away from James, laughing at your daughter who’s covering her face from saw you and James kissed.
“Come here honey, you finished your cereal already?”
She ran to your hug and nodded. “And the bus has already here.”
“Okay.. lets get you ready.” You finished your soup and helped your daughter get ready for her school. You placed her bag on her back, then walked her to her bus.
She kissed your and James’ cheeks, before she go.
“Be a good girl kay.” Said James.
“I always be a good girl daddy.”
“Daddy knows..” he winked at her and gave the last goodbye kiss as the bus started to leave.
“Well.. it’s only two of us now..” James said mischievously.
“Sooo...” you rolled your eyes.
“Maybe we can finish what we started last night.”
You laughed. “Don’t start it. You know i cant stop, and you have work to do today right.”
He sighed “yeah you right... here comes another shoot.” He said sarcastic.
“you better get ready.. you don't want Ranel comes here to pick you up again, do you.” You pulled him back to the house.
“Kay..Kay..” he sighed again.”

“Mommy where is daddy..” you and your daughter sat on a bench in the middle of zoo. James late for an hour, and she refused to walk around again until her dad comes.
“Maybe the traffic trapped him darling. He’ll come, dont worry.”
“But it’s almost an hour. Daddy’s not gonna be here. He’s lying again.” She started to cry.
“sssshh... don't cry little girl, daddy’s gonna come. He’s just a bit late.”
“He’s not.... daddy doesn't love me.” Your daughter cried louder.
You hugged her and calmed her down. You’ve tried to call James,but he didnt answer the phone. He always like this, he never has time for his daughter. You understand that his job always keep him busy but your daughter doesnt. She wants her dad, but her dad will never makes it up to her.
“I’m sorry baby.. daddy’s late because of this.”
“James...” you surprised as he came and sat next to you. Holding balloons, hoping your daughter would forgive him.
“Look daddy brought balloons for you.”
But your daughter refused to see, she burried her face in your arms, still crying.
James looked at you sadly. His feeling must be hurt, he has tried to come, but your daughter refused him.
“Dear..look daddy has came for us. Forgive daddy please.” You tried to explain.
“I hate daddy,, daddy doesn't love me!!”
James sighed sorrowfully. “If daddy doesn't love you, then why daddy’s here now? I’m sorry for being late but i thought you’ve understood about my job.”
Your daughter still in silence.
“We better go home. She doent want to play anymore.” You said to James. James nodded. You carried your daughter to the car and you went back home.
It’s getting late as you arrived in the house. Your daughter ran to her room immidiately, James wanted to catch her up but you prevented him.
“Lets just leave her alone for a moment.”
James sat on the couch, pulled his hair frustrated. “I’m a really bad dad.”
You rubbed his back softly. He leaned his head on your shoulder. “You are not, you’re just a little busy.”
“My own daughter hates me.”
“She’s just dissapointed now. There’s no way she would hate her dad. She loves you James.”
James lifted his head, kissed your forehead tenderly. “I cant imagine if you’re not here. You’re the best wife and mother i could ever asked.”
You smilled and hugged him. “Let me talk to her. You should take a rest.”
You went to your daughter’s room. She bend in her blanket, sobbing. You caressed her hair softly, she went closer and hugged you.
“Do you hate daddy?”
She shook her head. “I love daddy. But why daddy cant keep promises?”
“Daddy didn't mean to do that dear. Daddy is very very busy. You’ve seen him in set right, he has to do this, he has to do that. You remember what Unca Kendall, Logan, and Carlos told you?”
She nodded. “That i have to be proud of dad.”
“Exactly... daddy did this all for us. Don't be mad at daddy nomore kay.”
Your daughter smiled. “Yes mommy, i love daddy. And i am proud of him.”
“Now, go apologize to daddy.”
You held her to your room.
“Daddy...” she peeping trough the door, James was sitting in the edge of bed, looking at the picture of your little family that hanging on the wall..
“Hey princess come here..”
Your little girl ran to his hug. “I’m sorry daddy for saying those bad things to you. I Love you daddy. You are the best daddy in the world.”
James hugged her tight. “I’m sorry too baby, i cant keep my promise but next time i swear, we will go picnic together and i wont be late.”
Your daughter smiled happily, then she kissed James. “Mommy can i sleep with you tonight?” asked her to you.
“Sure thing darling, you can sleep with us anytime you want.”
“Yaaaay!!!” she yelled excitedly. Then she crawled up to the bed, sleep in the middle of you and James. She hugged you two tightly.
“Daddy, can you sing me a lullaby? I love it when you sing to me.”
“Of course darling, anything for my baby.”
James started sing her lullaby, until she fell asleep in his arms.
“Thank you.” He said to you.
“No need to thank me babe.”
James pulled you closer. Then kissed you passionately, by that you know how much he loves you and your little daughter
