This was a request of @Emma2052 I liked the idea, but I did change some things to make it a little better for me to write. I hope you still like it though. ♥

Happy reading!


-----------------------

Charles' point of view.

-----------------------

"Please, care for her. I can't, she looks too much like him."

-----------------------

"She's about to say her first word!" I hear Arthur scream at the top of his lungs, everyone in the house runs upstairs. I enter the room as last. I push everyone out of the way and look at the sweet little baby, her eyes widen as she sees me and looks me into my eyes.

"C-c-ch-cha. Charles." She says, gesturing with her arms she wants to be lifted up. I take her into my arms and we all look to her in 'aw'.  She hugs me and whispers: "Charles."

"That's my name." I smile, tears building up in my eyes. "I promise you, I'll do anything to make you happy and keep you safe."

-----------------------

"Open your mouth." Pascale holds a spoon of food in front of Y/n's mouth. Y/n just shakes her head.

"No." She says, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"You have to eat..."

"No." She shakes her head again, making me smile."

"Charles, help me." I nod and walk over to my mom and Y/n. I take the spoon and hold it infront of her mouth.

"If you're going to eat, I'll tell you an extra bedtime story." She opens her mouth and starts to eat her food with a smile on her face. 

-----------------------

"Daddy?" The door opens and a high pitched voice sounds through my bedroom

"What's wrong, my darling?"

"I had a nightmare."

"Come here, sleep with me." I whisper and open the covers for her. My beautiful daughter climbs into my bed and cuddles up to me. She rests her head on top of my chest, her breath starts to relax. She's so small, so adorable. "Can you tell me what it was about?"

"I saw my bio dad, he got hurt. He wasn't happy." I know a tear rolls down from her eyes, I know her. I pull her closer

"You know darling, I know he's happy. He's looking at you and thinking, this is my girl. He isn't ripped into pieces, he's feeling like a whole now."

"Do you talk to him?" He lifts her head up.

"I don't have to."

"Why not?" She whispers in her high pitched voice, it barely is a whisper. I caress her cheek and smile to her, not that she can see.

"He's my best friend, I know him well enough."

"I'm tired, dad." She rests her head on my chest again.

"Close your eyes,
close your mouth,
go the sleep,
may dream good,
don't think much,
just believe." I sing to her and I feel her relax into my arms, she fell asleep. I wish I could stay in this moment forever. Her warm body close against mine, afraid to let go. I tried to be as open as possible with her, about my job, about the real parents, about everything. Media made me regret that, but I try to stay open my mom did the same for me. Of course, it was difficult to tell her about how her dad crashed to his death. I didn't tell her everything though, she's too young. 

"Thank you for her, my friend. I say this to you too many times. She changed my life, she made it much better." I whisper up to heaven, knowing that that innocent bastard's there. "We love this little ange."

I hug her closer to me, wanting to stay here forever. The day I signed her adoption papers, I promised I'd be the best dad for her like mine was for me. I promised, together with my family, to keep her safe. I promised to best friend to make her happy.
