Ellie's POV

One more day till another week of school and I can see Raevynn and Kyle!

I got up from my bed sleepily as I took off my onesie because it was too hot.

I grabbed my baby blanket and raced to daddy's room.

I crawled under his covers and snuggled close to him, knowing daddy he is a deep sleeper once he gets into the mood.

then I poked daddy.

He slowly opened his eyes, "baby how did you get here?" he asks pulling me close to him but then he stopped and examined me.

"princess why are you naked?" He asks.

"Too hot" I said shrugging.

He only chuckled, "do you wanna lay with me?" He offers.

I nodded, I buried my face into his head as he nuzzled his face into my hair.

Today I will dedicate this day to cuddling and being lazy!

I closed my eyes as I brought my baby blanket close to my face.

Antonio's POV

I placed Ellie into her bed, then made my way to my bed.

I was honestly exhausted, the sleepover, the party.

I threw my shirt to the hamper and unzipped my pants.

Wearing suit pants is not the comfiest, if you know what I'm talking about..

After that I checked the clock and it was now 9 at night usually I would be in my study but I left all the tasks to Joseph.

Around the early morning, 7 am.

I felt the covers let in cold air and a body crawling their way towards me.

I slowly opened my eyes as I sensed a body close to kicking me in the groin.

Then I received a poke to my face.

"baby how did you get here?" I asked opening my eyes to see a brown haired creature in my bed.

it's obvious she' used her two legs, my conscience told me, 'shut the fuck up.' i told my conscience.

I began to pull her into my chest but then I noticed her naked body.

I looked to see her only in underwear.

I stifled a chuckle, "princess why are you naked?" I watched as she shrugged and said she was too hot.

It's November how can she be hot?

eventually i offered if she wanted to sleep with me.

Which she accepted, I wasn't going to have it any other way.

My ass is fatigued, so I grabbed hold of her and nuzzled her hair as I felt her breathing against my bare chest.

********

I woke up again for the second time, this time I felt a weight on my chest.

I was met by a sleeping Ellie.

I stroked her hair as I placed a kiss on her head that's when she opened her eyes.

"morning baby" I said still playing with her hair.

"mmh" she says before dozing off.

"baby it's 10 in the morning" I said looking at the big roman numeral clock placed in my room.

"come on let's get you cleaned" I said sitting up and securing Ellie in my arms as I made it over to my bathroom.

"daddy I'm tired" she says resting her head on my shoulder.

"babes we are going to be productive alright?" I said kissing her nose before setting her on the tile floor.

"that's not what I had in mind" she says crossing her arms.

"and what was that princess?" I asked filling the bathtub with warm water.

"to cuddle, sleep, and be lazy" she says listing off the ideas she had in mind with her fingers.

"well babe I thought we could visit a park, get ice cream, and go swimming" I said putting in some bath bubbles.

"okay...I guess I want ice cream" she says caving in.

"alright, just plop those bottoms off and get yourself cleaned" I said hanging the towel close to the bathtub.

"what daddy you aren't going to bathe me?" she asks in disbelief as she stepped out of her underwear.

"Baby don't you want to be a big girl?" I said using my persuasive side.

"But daddy it's too much work" she whines.

She was standing in the bathtub not bothering with the bath bubbles.

"Eliana, would you prefer to take a shower?" I asked, typically calling her by her first name means I am not joking around.

then she ponders, which is a first cause she'd choose a bath over a shower any day.

"so take a shower with me"she casually says which i couldn't resist those puppy eyes

"And why do you want to shower with daddy?" I asked hoping for a reason.

"because I wanna be a big girl and learn to shower by myself!" Ellie exclaims, what she said blew my mind, she really wanted to take a shower!?

This is a good step towards her growing up!

"okay okay" she says as she crawls out of the bathtub.

I adjusted the water temperature making sure it was warm.

I went and grabbed the towel, "Alright baby so that's how you turn the shower on" I said explaining as she stood there watching me contently.

i took off my shirt and pants, as she was watching the rush of water falling down,

"what's so different between a shower and bath" she asks while looking at the shampoo bottles

"well, a shower is where one has to stand, and bath is where you don't" i said vaguely.

"why did they invent showers" she questions, she asks a lot of questions for just a shower.

i grabbed another set of towels for myself,

"so what do I do" she asks, as i made my way into the shower, "well, you get your hair wet then put shampoo" i started to explain.

it went rather slower than usual, "now are you going to be able to shower everyday?" I asked as i shut the water off and handed her the towel while i began to wrap a towel around my waist.

"mhm, you're pushing it." she simply says, which i laugh.

"daddy how do you do that" she asks after observing me wrapping the towel, "here" i said as i began to wrap the towel around her torso,

"you're a bad teacher." she says, "whatever." i said as i went off to her bedroom and grabbed a graphic tee and striped leggings

I headed back to my room and placed her outfit on my bed, then I turned to my closet.

I went to grab a simple flannel then loose jeans.

"you know daddy, we should buy shampoo for me" she suggests, "what's wrong with my shampoo?" i asked, "it smells too much like daddy" she says, "i don't see any problem with that."

she gave me a look that said 'not the point'

"fine fine, we'll buy you all the bathroom necessities that you need" i said, and she smiled.

"daddy so when is breakfast and when do we go to park!" she excitedly said.

"Oh now you want to be productive" I teased before putting on my flannel.

I looked at Ellie through the long mirror as I finished up the last buttons.

"I like the slides then maybe I'll see other kids" she explains.

"alright" I said then I put on my boxers while Ellie was busy making a mess of my bed.

I pulled up my jeans then I turned to find Ellie hanging upside down.

"let's go out for brunch" I said.

"okay daddy" she said turning right-side up again.

************

We arrived at a local diner.

I walked up to the front desk, the lady smiled warmly at me.

"Welcome to Rosa's Cafe" the receptionist says.

"Table for two" I said using my free hand to show two fingers.

"Right this way sir" she said as she made her way to the booth area that was crowded with people.

"Here's your menu and for the little one" she says.

Ellie slid on then scanned the menu.

For the past year I've been teaching Ellie to be independent, and knowing how to order food without my help.

"Daddy why is there so much people" she asks me once the receptionist left.

"they must of did the same thing as us" I said shrugging.

"daddy I'll the pancakes" she said pointing to the 2's

"okay baby remember to order that for yourself?" I said, I finally settled with a coffee and French toast

"I will" she says determined.

I smiled then I heard someone talk about my angel thinking I wouldn't be able to hear it!

"That little bitch must be a charity case" that person said whispering to another person I'm assuming.

"That slut thinks she can be the daughter of the CEO!" another person's voice said.

i was flabbergasted to say the least, i never met such impudent people.

Their voices were across from our table, I looked up and raised my eyebrow as I saw the girls batting their eyes at me once they got my attention it seems.

"Would you like to say those a bit louder?" I challenged, my daughter was oblivious to what was happening since she seemed preoccupied with the colouring books.

"N—N-No Sir" the blonde says.

I rolled my eyes, then I went back to gazing at Ellie.

We had a pleasant brunch, the waitresses tried to flirt with me but I had none of it.

"Ellie so what are you going to do at the park?" I asked.

"I don't know I want to swing, and go in merrigoround" she says.

"anything else?" I placed the menu away.

"nope, besides get my ice cream" she says.

Which I only chuckled, "did you only spend time with me because you'll get ice cream?" I questioned.

"...maybe" she says with a big grin on her face.

I gave her a playful glare, "I see so baby you don't love me?" I asked placing a hand on my heart.

"No! I love love love daddy" she says defending in hopes of cheering me up.

"You're too precious" I said giving her a pat on the head.

*********

I paid for the food and I drove to a child friendly park.

Damn maybe I could find some hot mom chick to check out...

I unstrapped Ellie from her car seat.

She was squirming to get out however I placed my hands on her shoulder, "baby I repeat do not talk to strangers, stay within my sight" I said sternly.

"okay daddy!" she says then I released her, she went skipping towards the swings.

I went to sit on a bench and watched as Ellie swung.

Ellie is growing up way too fast...

I still felt guilty for not being part of her 5 years of life before.

Within the 3 years I've spent with her, she's already forgotten about her past, I never missed a day without having her in my arms, my mind went back to Shannon's words, What if Ellie gets hurt and I'm unable to protect her?

For the past 3 years I've assigned bodyguards stationed at posts.

For example I notified that we would be at the park, they watched from afar while others were undercover pretending to be a regular human being.

seeing that Ellie is safely swinging I whipped out my phone.

Glancing up every so often I was caught by a woman with a very short skirt on and a tube top.

I held my phone to my ear as pretending to take a call, more like check the woman out.

"Yeah it's no problem" I said trying to see if she would bend over maybe a little.

That's when my eyes practically came out of socket as I noticed her bending down revealing a very lacy thong talking to a child.

I could feel my lower region hardened a bit.

Then I put my phone away and looked back to Ellie trying to calm myself.

I saw two people near her, one being a older gentlemen then another being the same age as my daughter.

Ellie's POV

Daddy told me the rules which I nodded, I raced to the swings.

then I saw Daisy.

"Hey Daisy!" I said seeing that she was here with one of her brothers.

"Ellie!" Daisy says running towards me and I saw her brother running after her.

I wonder why daddy doesn't give me a sibling? It would be nice if daddy gave me a older brother, I'll ask daddy if I can get a older brother.

"Daisy I came here to swing you wanna play?" I asked sitting on the swing.

"Daisy Do not run off" her brother says but then he sees me.

"Hello" I said waving at him.

"and you are?" He asks a bit coldly..

"I am Eliana" I said smiling ignoring the fact he was being blunt.

"Elijah Ellie is my classmate" Daisy explains.

"My daddy says I can't talk to strangers" I told Daisy's brother.

"You're father is a smart man, but I'm Daisy's brother I wouldn't be consider a stranger" he defends himself.

"how old are you?" I asked seeing he was almost as old as my father.

"I am 28, I'm the eldest of the Spade family" he replies.

"woah! you're old as my daddy" I said giggling.

"your father is 28?" He asks more like trying to see if he heard right.

"yes" I simply said.

Then I saw daddy making his way to me, I jumped off of the swing.

"Daddy daddy" I said flinging myself to him.

"baby what did I say about talking to strangers?" he says with a slight stern, while securing my bum with his arm.

"this is Daisy that's her brother" I said pointing to the man with blonde hair just like Daisy.

"Hello Sir, I am Elijah Spade" the man says extending his hand out.

"Thank you for watching my daughter" father says shaking the man's hand.

"It's not a problem, you've taught her well." Elijah says.

************

So I ended up playing with Daisy for a bit and my daddy talked with Elijah.

Daddy called me over saying we were leaving so then I told Daisy I would see her at school.

I skipped to my daddy and waved goodbye to Elijah then I was buckled into my car seat.

We were going off to a ice cream parlor like daddy said earlier!

I held daddy's hand as we walked into the building.

It's a habit now, people would stare then as soon as my father sends them the 'look' they all go back to staring at something but not at us.

I received a ice cream with Oreos on top, then we were sitting inside the parlor since it's November and there's a bit snow on the ground, but it always leaves the next day.

Daddy had ordered a cup of vanilla ice cream which is way tooooooooo boring for me.

"daddy can I have some of yours?" I asked putting aside my Oreo ice cream.

"baby you haven't finished yours" he says.

"I know but we can switch! I wanna have what daddy has" I said.

"is it because you're a pig?" he asks casually and i began to fume, "am not!" i say while he finally agreed a and puts a spoonful of his ice cream into my mouth

It was like déjà vu, I remember at a mall we ate then daddy put a spoonful of vanilla ice cream into my mouth.

I smiled at remembering that, "is my ice cream that tasty?" Daddy asks noticing I was smiling from ear to ear.

"I was remembering when I got my first taste of ice cream" I said.

"I was thinking the same thing" daddy says.

***********

We were finally going swimming!

Daddy finished putting his swimsuit on, which only consisted of water proof pants, so he went over to a drawer and pulled out a two piece swimsuit for me.

He pulled off my top as he helped me get into the swimsuit

Ellie's swimsuit -

We walked to the indoor pool that was in the furthest part of the mansion.

I placed my towel on a sun chair then daddy placed his next to mine.

I jumped into the shallow parts of the pool, Daddy was sitting in the hot tub while watching me being a crazy animal, while that's what I thought of myself whenever I go swimming.

Today I feel curious to what the hot tub is like...

"Daddy I wanna go in with you" I said stopping at the wall separating the pool to the hot tub.

"princess it's pretty hot and you'll get a headache" he says.

"daddy just for a few minute" I said giving him the puppy eyes which is what my father calls it.

"alright take your time" He says having his hand out so I could steady myself.

I slowly poked my feet in and it surprisingly felt nice!

so then I stepped half of my body in.

"so princess how does it feel?" He asks.

"it feels nice!" I exclaimed then I swam over to where daddy was and stood on his legs.

"well let me know when you begin to feel dizzy alright?" He says placing his hand under my armpits as he turned my back so I was leaning against him.

I splashed the water and looked at the bubbles that the jet was creating.

"Daddy" I asked grabbing onto daddy's hand and playing with his fingers.

"yes baby?" He responds.

"Daisy has an older brother..." I begin to say.

"yes that she does" daddy agrees.

so I leaned my head against his chest while looking up to his face, "so daddy can I have an older brother?"

"you want an older brother?" daddy questions, so I turn my body so my feet is standing on his thighs.

"it'd be a play buddy" I said.

"babe it's not simple as you think it would be" daddy says booping me on the nose.

"and why is that?" I questioned with a pout.

"hey you wanna play Marco Polo?" He asks changing the subject.

"not till you tell me" I said pressing his hand into a fist.

"because you are my first born child, to give you an older brother is difficult" daddy explains with a sigh.

"is that a bad thing?" I asked sitting back into his lap.

"yes and no, I won't be able to have someone protect you when your in middle school" daddy says.

"daddy middle school won't be in like decades!" I said reassuring.

"I wish it was that long" daddy says giving my head a pat.

"but baby why do you want an older brother?" He questions.

"because my friends have siblings" I said shrugging.

**************

After swimming or more like talking about siblings, daddy convinced me that if I want an older brother then we would have to adopt, but I'm not sure if I am being selfish I don't want another person to call my daddy their daddy!

so I decided to let it go, and daddy wrapped me in a towel.

After taking my second shower! I got into daddy's shirt.

It was still a dress for me, so it's perfect.

I skipped down the hallway then I saw Skyla in her room.

"Hey Skyla" I called out.

it's actually been a few weeks of being friends with Skyla and her new changing rooms and stuff, but soon I was beginning to see her acting off.

"hi Ellie" she says not looking up from her book.

"let's play" I suggested sitting on her bed.

"I don't want to play, and I just want to read" she says.

I frowned, "I want to play" I repeated.

"Eliana! you should know that not everyone has your life, and it's difficult enough for me since my so called father is comparing me to a mere 8 year old!" Skyla lashes out at me as she sets her book down aggressively.

yeah I know not everyone has life easy, I know that too well.

I ignored her comment, "so let's play" I ordered.

"Eliana, just because you are Mr. Smith's first born daughter does not mean you can order people around" She harshly says.

Why is she lashing out on me???

All I asked was if we can play, what is wrong with her?
