“You have nothing to fear with daddy and I around. We’ll always be here for you.”
My heart soars at her words. Maisey truly sees me as her mother and I am starting to see her as my daughter. Maisey has become so totally important to me and I truly do love her as if she is my own flesh and blood.
“That means a lot Maisey, now why don’t you go brush your teeth while I get dressed. We have a big day ahead of us.” We are going to be visiting Parker at work as it is family day.
“Fine,” Maisey huffs before bouncing out of my room.
I watch after her and then head to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
I get ready in record time and then head to Maisey’s room. I see she has already changed into a pink jumpsuit. She looks adorable.
“As a special treat, we will pick up donuts on the way. I’m sure your dad will appreciate that.”
“I love donuts!”
We head out and stop at the donut shop on the way to Madison Artificial Intelligence Tech. I get a boston cream donut for myself, Maisey gets a vanilla sprinkle, and we get a plain glazed donut for Parker.
The ride to his office is not too long and Maisey and I play eye spy to pass the time.
“I spy something yellow!” Maisey says.
There is not a lot of yellow around, besides for the taxi’s and stop lights.
“The stop light?” I ask.
Maisey shakes her head and giggles, “Nope.”
“Hmmm, that taxi over there,” I pointed to the taxi beside us.
She nods vigorously, “How do you always get it within three guesses?”
“I’m magic,” I whisper.
Maisey giggles even louder and we keep playing until we pull up to a tall building. There are lots of people entering as we make our way toward Parker’s floor.
“Wow,” Maisey says as we exit the elevator.
There are balloons lining the ceiling and kids running around. Near Cynthia’s desk, there is a woman making balloon animals.
“Can I go watch?” Maisey asks, pulling on my sleeve.
“Of course, I’m going to find your father,” I say.
We split up and I headed toward his office, which is easy to find as it's the biggest one.
I see Parker with his head down working on his laptop so I knock on the door jamb.
“Hey stranger, can I come in?”
“You made it!” Parker says with a huge grin before it drops. “Where’s Maisey?”
I shrug and Parker’s eyes widen.
“Where is Maisey?” He asks me again as he makes his way towards me.
I chuckle, “She’s watching balloon animals get made.”
Parker lets out a breath, “Don’t do that to me again, please.”
