"Get out of my way loser!" One of the meanies yelled and pushed me. I stumble backwards and fall. They all surround me and laugh. I get up and run to my closet called a room. I lock the door and go under my bed and cry. I hold my necklace close to me. "Daddy please come get me fast!" I whispered to myself. I cuddle into my stuffed animal fluffy. He's about the same height as me, and has ran out of fluff, because of all the years and how mommy used to throw him around whenever he had holes in Then the voice on the intercom comes up. "Everybody come downstairs we have adopters!" The voice said. I groaned and just stayed under my bed, until all of the footsteps stopped. Then I got up, and slowly went down the stairs. Since I am only three and short. When I get downstairs, I just sit in the corner, wanting all of this to end, and this is all a dream, that I'll wake up from. As I was lost in my thoughts, I got pulled out by someone kneeling in front of me. I look up to see a man with light brown hair and eyes and a quiff, with tattoos on his arms. "Hi sweetheart. What's your name?" He asked me gently. "Leah." I said shyly. "Well Leah, you have a beautiful name. How old are you sweetie?" He asked me. "I'm this many." I said showing him three fingers. He chuckled. "So your a big girl yeah?" He asked me. I shook my head no. "Why?" He asked me with a smile on his face. "Because the other girls call me a worthless baby, and they never let me play princess with them, because I can never ever ever be a princess!" I said sadly. "Aww. Well you know what, you are a princess." He told me gently. I look up at him. "How?" I asked. "Well because your beautiful, your happy, and I'm pretty sure that your not selfish." He smiled at me. I give a small smile back. "Leah, baby, is it okay if I be your daddy?" He asked me. I was about to refuse, but I thought that it would be easier for my old daddy to come and find me. And if he never did, at least I would have another daddy. I gave a smile and nod. He smiled to. "Okay, go pack your stuff, I'll get you out of here." He smiled. I smile,nod and walk up the stairs carefully and pack my stuff. When I finish I go downstairs, all of the girls glaring at me. Then I go over to Justin, he smiled and picked me up.

Justin's P.O.V

As I signed the papers, the lady who worked at the front desk told me, that she had fallen down some stairs one time and when the cops found her, they took her to the hospital to give a check up to see if there were any drugs in her body or any signs of abuse, when the doctors gave a X-Ray on her brain, and found out she had brain injury, and brain damage, so it makes it harder in her to learn or she processes things slower than others. I was shocked, but accepted the new information and took her files from the lady. When Leah comes down, I pick her up and head outside, smiling at her...

Leah's P.O.V

We walked to his car and got in. He strapped me into a car seat that was already in his car. "I knew I would get a baby girl." He smiled. I smiled too. He strapped me in, closed the door, and got into the drivers seat. We drove for a long time before we came into a big big big house! I looked up at it in amazement. "You live here?" I asked him. He chuckled. "No. WE live here." He corrected me. He gets out of the car, and opens my door, unbuckled me, and picked me up. After a tour of the house, he lead me to my room, when we got in, it was so big and pretty! It had light pink walls, with a princess bed and lots of toys everywhere! "Are these toys mine?" I asked him. He laughed and nodded. I smile and run to him and hug his legs. "Thank you daddy!" I said excitedly. "Your welcome princess." He said to me. "Are you hungry?" He asked me. I nodded. He took me into the kitchen and cooked dinner, when he was finished he put the two plates of spaghetti on two sides of the table and motioned for me to sit down. I sat down, and he sat down in front of me. He cut up my food, and then we both began to eat. When we finished, he said he was gonna give me bath. We went into my room, and into the restroom that was connected, that I didn't even know I had. He undressed me and put me into the tub. The tub started filling up. "Daddy! Don't drown me!" I begged him, tears in my eyes. He stopped the water immediately. "Princess I'm not gonna drown you, I promise I'll protect you with my life!" He told me. "Pinky promise?"I did a puppy dog face and stuck out my pinky. He smiled and chuckled. "Pinky promise." He said before booking his pinky with mine. "Good." I said. He turned the water back on, and washed my body. Then he noticed some of my scratches. "Princess what happened?" He asked me worriedly. "The meanies pushed me into the walls and down the stairs." I said playing with the water. He stayed quiet for a moment. "Well you know what? They were all jealous when I picked you to be MY princess." He said. "Really?" I asked him. He nodded and washed my hair. "And they ALL wanted me to pick them, but I picked you to be my little princess." He said as he picked me up out of the tub and wrapped me in a white fluffy towel and carried me into my room. He got me dressed in a purple onesie that had pink hearts on it. Then he laid me in my bed. "Can you give me cuddles daddy?" I asked him. His face softened and he replied, "of course princess." He later down with me and we cuddled, until I felt myself getting sleepier and sleepier... I wake up to daddy shaking me. "Come one princess, we got to eat breakfast than go to the store today. I sat up in my bed, and lifted my arms I the air, indicating that I wanted him to pick me up. He chuckled and picked me up, cradling me like a baby. I snuggle my head into his chest. He soon set me down in my chair at the kitchen table and we began to eat eggs, after daddy cut mine up for me. "Where are we going daddy?" I asked him. "We're going school shopping for you princess, your going to school tomorrow." He said. "No daddy! I'm only this many!" I said holding up three fingers. "And you have to be this many." I said
And held up five fingers. He laughed. "Well over here, you go to school when your this many." He said holding up three fingers. "AND this many" he said and held up five fingers. "Until your at least eighteen." He said. "I lplates, and lifted the dining room, after kissing my head. I got out of my seat and followed him. I clung to his leg, he sighed as he walked over to the sink, me on his foot. I giggle and he laughs. When he got to the sink he began washing our dishes. When he was done, he lifted me up and held neon his hip. "No daddy. Hold me like a baby." I whined. He laughed once again and cradled me. "Aww my little baby." He cooed at me. I giggle. He walked us up to my room, and got me dressed, when he finished he got dressed, when he was done we got in the car and drove off to the store. When we pulled up to a store, we got out and daddy took me by the hand. Once we got inside, daddy grabbed a basket and we made our way to the school supply section. "Okay princess, first pick a backpack." He told me. I nodded and we started looking around. Finally a backpack caught my eye. It was light baby blue and had spikes poking out of it. "Daddy this one!" I said. He took it and put it in the basket. "You like it daddy?" I asked him. He smiled. "I love it princess." He said and pecked my lips. I smile. "Okay let's pick out the rest okay?" I nod. Soon we bought everything I needed for tomorrow and then we went to the mall. We were eating at the food court and when we finished we walked around for a bit. Then daddy wanted to stop in a jewlery store, so I followed him. As daddy was looking around I saw something that caught my eye. It was a silver and gold charm braclet, but it didn't have any charms yet. I stared at it in awe. "You ready princess?" Daddy asked, walking towards me. I nodded still looking at the charm braclet. He looked in the direction I was looking and noticed the charm bracelet as well. He walked up to the man behind the counter. And started talking to him. Then he came up to me, a small bag in his hands. We walked out and sat down on a bench, he set me do in his lap and pulled out the small bag. "I got this for you baby." He told me and opened the bag to me. He took out the charm bracelet and slipped it on me, it fit perfectly. "Look I bought you a little bit of charms." He said, he pulled out a 'believe' charm, a "forever" charm, a "family" charm. And a charm that said "daddy" and "princess". I smile and hug daddy. "Thank you!" I said. He hugged me back. "Your welcome princess, every time your good or something, I will buy you a new charm. But if your bad, as a punishment I will take a charm away. Okay?" He asked. I nodded. "I love you daddy." "I love you to princess." He said and hugged me tighter. After we walked around some more, it was time to go home. When we got home, we put our things away, "okay, princess it's time for sleepies." Daddy said. "I'm not tired!" I argued. "You have school tomorrow, you got to sleep okay?" "Okay." I smirked. Daddy took me a bath and then carried me into bed. "Go to sleep okay?" "Okay." He hugged me and nuzzled my face with his nose. I laugh and so does he. "Goodnight princess." He whispered. "Goodnight daddy." I said. He walked out of my room, and closed the door. After I heard his footsteps go down the stairs I got out of my bed and quietly go downstairs. I see daddy putting all of my things away into my backpack and doing it neatly. "Daddy!" I said. He looked over to me. "Princess your suppose to be asleep in bed." He told me sternly. "Daddy you didn't give me cuddles!" I said. "I'm sorry princess he said. He lifted me up and took me to my room once again. He laid down on my bed with me and cuddled with me. After a while of cuddling I felt my eyes get heavier and heavier until I finally fell asleep. I wake up to daddy shaking me and whispering my name. "Princess wake up, you have school today." He said. I whimper as he picks me up. "Come on baby, let's go to school." He said. After he got me dressed, he took me downstairs and set me down at the kitchen table where we both ate cereal. When we finished daddy gave me my backpack and slipped it on my back and we got into the car and drove off to my new school. When we got there daddy unbuckled me from my car seat and carried me to the school. When we got to the doors, he set me down and held my hand. Then he led me to a classroom. We were in the hallway alone. "Please don't leave me daddy!" I begged him, tears in my eyes. He picked me up and kissed them away. "Shhh baby, I'll be back to pick you up before you know it. Okay?" He held me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his jaw. "Please daddy, take me with you!" I begged. "Princess, you'll make new friends okay? Look whenever you want to think of me, look at your charm bracelet that daddy got you alright? I love you so much princess, I'm bringing you here BECAUSE I love you! I'm gonna miss you so much, but I promise that I will pick you up later. Go in there and have fun okay? I want to hear all about your day when I pick you up." He said before kissing my forehead. "I love you to daddy." I said and kissed his nose, making him smile. He set me down and told me to walk in the class. I hesitantly walk in, and when I do I see a lot of other kids. I sit down at an empty desk and just look around at all of the kids that are playing on the floor with other kids. Just then a lady comes up to me. "Hi Leah, I'm Mrs. Jay, and I'm your teacher this year." She said. "Hi." I whispered. She rubbed my back. "You'll do great. Do you like to draw?" She asked me. I nodded. She gave me some blank papers and some crayons. "Here you can draw whatever you want." She smiled and walked away. I grabbed the black crayon and drew a small bird, then I grabbed an orange, yellow, pink, and black crayon and drew a sunset turning into darkness. Just then a boy came up to me. "Hi." He smiled at me. "Hi" I said. He sat down next to me and looked at what I was drawing. "I like your picture." He said to me. "Thank you." I said. "What's your name?" He asked me. "Leah." I said. "I'm Alex." He said. "You wanna be my best friend?" He asked me. I smile at him. "Okay." I said and nod. He smiled to. I gave him some paper and crayons and he drew a picture to.... The next thing I knew it was time for daddy to come pick me up! When the bell rang, I ran outside and saw daddy standing there. He smiled when he saw me and I smiled back. "Daddy!" I yell happily. "Princess!" He ran to me and picked me up and kissed all over my face making me giggle. He carried me to the car, buckled me into my car seat and got into the drivers seat. "How was your first day of school princess?" He asked me. "It was good daddy! I made a new best friend!" I said happily. "That's good princess!" He said. "Yeah and me and him draw together!" I said. "I think you mean her princess. You and her drew together." He tried to correct me. "No daddy, he's a boy!" I giggled out. "A boy?" He repeated. I nod. "What's his name?" "Alex!" I smile. He sighed. "Will you try to make more friends tomorrow?" He asked me hopefully. I smile and nod. He smiled, "good." "So you wanna have dinner outside today princess? Just me and you?" I smile and nod. "Yes daddy!" He chuckled. "Okay is sandwiches okay with you princess?" I nod once again. Once we get home, daddy changed me and him into some playing clothes and then we went into the kitchen and made sandwiches. When we finished, we went into the backyard and sat down in the grass. Then we began to eat. "Daddy I drew something for you!" I said and pulled out the drawing I made of me and him holding hands. He took it and looked at it, soon a smile appeared on his face. "I love it princess!" He said. "We'll find a frame for it and hang it up okay?" I nodded. We soon finished our food, but stayed outside. "Daddy can we play soccer?" I asked hopefully. He smiled and nodded. I got up and ran to get my soccer ball, when I got it I went back to daddy and we started playing soccer. Daddy fell one time, but got up, I fell three times, but got up to. We soon went inside. As i walked past daddy, I saw he had a cut on his leg. "Daddy has an owie!" I said to him and pointed to his cut. He looked down and saw. "Oh, it's okay baby, it gets better later." He tried to erasure me. "No! Come on!" I said and grabbed his hand and pulled him to the restoom in the hallway downstairs. "Sit!" I ordered him to sit on the sink. He chuckled and sat where I told him to. I got a band-aid and alcohol and a wash cloth. Then I grabbed a stool and pulled it towards daddy. I stood on it and poured a little bit of alcohol on the wash cloth, then I stuck it on daddy's cloth. He stuck in a sharp breath. I looked up at him. "It's okay daddy, this make better!" I said. After a while, I took the washcloth off, and grabbed the band-aid. I took the wrapper off it and stuck it on his leg. When I look up at him, he's looking at me with amazement. "How do you know what to do?" He asked. "My old daddy got hurt a lot." I said. " I thought your daddy was on druggies?" He asked. I shook my head no. "No. That was my old mommy, but my old daddy room me away from her, and kept me safe, then one day, the police came into our house and took him away, my old daddy said that he would get me back and that he loves me very much! And that I will always be his princess!" I said. Justin looked at me strangely. "Who was your daddy princess?"












"My daddy was Jason McCann." I said....
