chapter twenty five

Shawn drove away from the hospital with a small smile spreading over his face.
"I'm glad everything is alright"

"Me too" Camila agreed, turning around to see Kiara little bit calmer now.

"Is she always that nervous?" Shawn asked Camila, she nodded "she can be worse, I love the way you calmed her down" he smiled.

"When she was sick and you were also tired, she was really nervous, I laid her down and just caressed her, she fell asleep. Now every time she sees me or when I put her to sleep, she rises her small palm for me to do that" Shawn explained Camila. She couldn't help but to smile to this small gesture they have between them.

"That's really nice" she smiled.

"It really is, when she relaxes in my arms that's the most beautiful thing ever!" He exclaimed himself as she held back a giggle.

He was acting like a child. Happy one.

"Sometimes she can be heavy when she relaxes" Camila joked "no, she's not heavy, I could hold her for a week!" Shawn told her with smile.

"No,no definitely don't do that, because this little kid needs to walk, I was struggling to make her walk because everyone loved carrying her around"

"When did she start walking?" Shawn asked curiously, "around her first birthday. That was funny, because she would fall a lot, Ariana would get scared"

"I would get scared too, oh my God"

"She's clumsy" Camila said.

"Wonder from who she got that" he gazed at her with smirk saying 'you'

"You" Camila said it to him.

"It's definitely you" he protested and she shocked her head "yes Shawn you played soccer really good but you just couldn't walk, you would trip over air"

"You regularly would fall from bed" she could hear laugh in his voice.

Silence filled between them as they said at the same time.
"We're both guilty" and started softly laughing.

Baby steps in this life, but they're moving forward.

Camila's phone rang once, she got notification. Her eyes quickly read the email she got, her eyes widened with excitement, she almost screamed "I got the job!"

Shawn's head snapped to hers, as he stopped on red light "that's amazing!"

He couldn't even describe the luck he saw on her face, "oh my God!" She turned to Kiara who was playing with her teddy bear Aaliyah gave to her.
It is surely her favourite one.

"I've got a job baby"

"When are you starting?" She heard Shawn say and she proudly answered "after New Year's, 3rd January" he nodded, sending her proud smile.

"Oh - I would be able to pay all the bills" she breathed out in relief, Shawn's face fell down, bills...
He needed to do something about that. She won't need to kill herself on job from being tired to just give everything away to stupid overpriced hospital bills.

He parked in front of store, where Camila asked him to stop, so she can buy everything she needs for the new week.
He stayed in car with Kiara, Camila told him she wouldn't be there for long.

He turned around and talked with his daughter as she looked at him through big eyelashes "you did so good back there" he said to her.

He moved her hair away from her face, he smiled because she was just that adorable.

She pulled her palm out and he chuckled.
"You love when I do that, don't you?" She grinned.

He started circling around her small palm as she closed her eyes but then opened them when he stopped ready to frown.

"I can't do that from that position" he got out of car, opened back door and took her out of her seat.

She rested her forehead on his cheek as he felt it burn, he couldn't describe the way he felt for this little angel.

"Daddy is proud of you" he said with his heart beating like it's gonna jump out.
Kiara moved to look at him, like she understood everything what he said.
But children are sponges, they absorb everything around them. Every word, every action which might have influence on their future.

"You're daddy's hero" he kissed her cheek.

She said "mommy"

Sadness washed over him as he thought he would hear the word "daddy" but one day he would.

He walked into store, locking Camila's car, he searched for her.

People who passed by him, gave him smile as they saw Kiara in his arms.
Everyone was in love with her.

He saw Camila chatting with another person who appears to be a man.
"Congratulations Camila" he heard man say, she smiled replying "thank you Nick"

Shawn wanted to listen more of conversation but Kiara called her "mommy!" Clapping her hands.

She smiled as she saw them both.
Nick's eyes roamed over Shawn, taking in his presence.
"Hi baby" Camila walked to them both, giving Kiara a kiss on the cheek.

"That is your daughter?" Nick asked her in low tone.

"Yes" she answered confidentially "she's pretty" he gave Shawn some weird vibes, he wanted nothing more than protect both of the girls behind his back.

"She looks so much like you" Camila chuckled and shocked her head, clearly disagreeing with that fact, because everyone who knew Shawn could tell that this is his daughter.

"Thank you Nick" she simply said, but that man couldn't stop looking at them.
Shawn weirdly asked Camila "are you done with shopping?"

"Just few more things"

"I'm gonna go take this to cashier, come when you get those stuff" he took his way to the end of the market as he dragged shopping cart with him.

Camila searched for something as she heard voice from earlier "I'm happy you got a job"

"Me too" she answered.

"I get to see you every day then -" he started to creep her out.

"Nick -"

"Listen Camila - um" he cut her off "you're pretty woman and I'm amazed by you, I don't have any bad intentions, could you go out with me?" Her mouth fell down as her eyes moved to the place where Shawn placed food on the register, holding her daughter.

"I hope that's a babysitter" he said quietly, Camila shocked her head with chuckle "he's not a babysitter, I'm sorry Nick"

"No, no everything is alright" she excused herself and went to Shawn who in same second asked her "is everything alright"

"Yeah, don't worry" he could hear hesitation in her voice. He knew her, so well.
Sometimes, she knew that and asked herself, was he the only person that knew her.
The darkest secrets and the most beautiful parts of her.

Shawn offered his credit card before she could find hers in her bag, she frowned. Young cashier smiled at them and said "you two have a beautiful daughter"

"Thank you" they both said with smiles and blushes.
After he paid, they got back into Camila's car, now Kiara sleeping on Camila's chest.

"Listen Shawn-" she turned to look at him.

"My parents are coming over for the weekend - I didn't tell them about you, yet. I'm planning on telling but I don't know how" he looked at her.

"Could you stay away for the weekend, I promise you you will get two days with her" he smiled and nodded "I could do that"

"Thank you so much"

"You don't need to thank me"
