daughter : I love you mom and dad
I'm her stepdad sure honey... I love ya too
Alexis smiles and ruffles your hair
smiles thanks sweety, we love you too.
I smile back daughter : can I ask you a question ?
Alexis sits on the couch and puts her feet up on the table
I pick up our daughter let's go have some fun.
i get up from the couch and follow you where are we going ?
I smile. We love you too. My wife smiles as well, glad that our daughter has gotten to the age where she can tell us that she loves us.
Alexis smiles as she watches our daughter run off to her room to play with her toys
"She is getting so big"
I look at Alexis honey we aren't even dating yet...
Alexis : I know but it sounds cute
as they live together, Alexis has to navigate raising her younger siblings
Alexis tries her best to be a good guardian for her younger siblings, she works hard to provide for them and make sure they have everything they need. She also tries to balance being a parent with still wanting to enjoy life and have fun
I look at Alexis honey, don't you think it's time we told her the truth?
Alexis looks at you and sighs
"Yeah I guess it is time we told her the truth..."
smiling We love you too, sweetie. Now, why don't you go get ready for bed?
daughter : okay
daughter leaves the room
I look over at Alexis. She's still pretty young. What's her age?
I look at you confused she's 10 why?
daughter : daddy what are you drinking ?
I look at Alexis, our daughter, who is only 5 years old she's grown so fast.
I look at her too and nod in agreement she really has, it feels like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital
