Chapter 69-  Daddy's touch.

It didn't take too long until Kyle's eyes cracked open. The nurses got him up and sat him on one of the leather chairs beside me.

He was overly embarrassed about the fact he fainted when his first baby girl was born, but he suddenly got over it when he took a glimpse of her.

"She's a girl." He gasped. His eyes lit up and glistened with unleashed tears. He took the little baby into his arms and snuggled her close.

Her eyes were closed and she was wrapped in a pink blanket. She was the most perfect thing I had ever laid eyes on. She looked just like her daddy and I knew she already had Kyle wrapped around her pinky finger.

Kyle couldn't take his eyes off of her.

"Thank you, Cali." He looked to me. I smiled his way. He didn't need to thank me, after all this result took two.

He didn't leave his eyes on me for long, they were back on to our little girl in seconds.

"You're so pretty." He gushed around the little bundle. "No doubt a heartbreaker. Daddy already has his guns waiting in the garage for when them boys start turning up."

"Kyle!" I scolded even though the big smile on my face gave away my amusement.

"Daddy got a few axes too, but don't tell mummy." Kyle whispered. I laid back down and smiled. I had a family. Kyle was going to be the best dad ever, and I was extremely happy for how things turned out.

I wish my father was here now to see her. I know she would have had him wrapped around her other pinky finger, but I knew he was looking down on her.

I sighed. I missed him, I missed him more than anything, I missed him more now my baby girl was here. It hurt me to know she would grow up and not know how amazing my father really was.

"Cali?" Kyle caught my attention and I looked to him.

"Sorry." I smiled sheepishly. "What is it?" I asked, knowing he obviously had something to me whilst I wasn't listening.

"I said we can all get ice cream next week." Kyle had this excited look in his eyes and it made my heart flutter.

"She's only just been born, give her a chance to breathe." I laughed.

And even though I was sad about my father, I knew I had everything I had ever wanted. The love of my life and our own little baby. I couldn't ask for much more.

"I've been thinking." Kyle suddenly pipes up again. I look to him. "I think I know what to call her."

I sat up a little straighter... As straight as I could considering the circumstances. Everything hurt, plus I was too tired. Yet, I was intrigued. I hadn't thought of names yet as we didn't know what gender we were expecting. I hadn't really thought of many potential names either.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"I really like the name Karson." Kyle shrugged. He looked down to the little girl and smiled. "She looks like a Karson Knight. Karson with a K, she needs to follow the tradition."

"Like the kardashians?" I asked playfully.

"Like the Kardashians, only a little better and a little more beautiful." Kyle smirked my way and I rolled my eyes in reply. Forever his egoistical self. "But I'm serious, baby. What do you think? Karson Knight?"

I thought about it for a minute... I liked it. It was cute and he was right, it did suit her. She had a head of black hair and bright blue eyes, a little button nose and long lashes. The name was cute and so was our little girl.

"Yes, I love it." I replied. Kyle smiled.

"Do you think she looks like me?" Kyle asked. I looked over at Karson and ran my finger along her skin. Such soft skin.

"Definitely." I looked up to Kyle and his eyes were full of pride.

"I love her, Cal. I really do." He smiled. I didn't need anyone telling me that, you could see all the love he had for her in his eyes.

"Me too." I breathed. "Can I hold her now? You're hogging her." I stated. Kyle looked to me and his eyebrows furrowed.

"But I want more cuddles." He pouted but looked ridiculously cute.

"No." I moaned. "She's my baby too." I pouted back and Kyle smiled. He kissed my cheek and laid Karson in my arms.

"Only because I love you, ok?" He kissed my cheek again. "I won't be handing her over this willingly to those boys." He let out almost in disgust.

"You mean the boys like you?" I questioned. "Bad boys? Players?"

"Honey, if I even sniff a boy like that near my girl..." He trailed off, leaving his answer to that unanswered.

He was already protective of her. I was glad, yet scared for our girl already. Karson was definitely going to have a hard time with boys all because of daddy. I felt bad for her already.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on our door. Kyle opened it and Kyle's parents came flooding in with Tammy and Matt hot on their heels.

"Where's this baby?" I could hear Matt a mile away. He was always so loud. I smiled when they were all in the room. I was happy to see them all here.

"This is Karson." I showed them all Karson and they gasped in unison. She was pretty, and everyone must have agreed.

"She's gorgeous." Tammy gushed. I handed Karson over to Tammy. Tammy took her and snuggled her close.

"I love the name, baby girl." Matt replied. He sat on the edge of my bed and looked at Karson. He wasn't usually a fan of children, he said they snotted and puked too many times to be glamorous. I could already tell he was going to love little Karson.

"Kyle chose it." I noted. Kyles mum and dad hugged Kyle tightly. They then came over to hug me.

"Beautiful. Well done!" They gushed. I was over whelmed with all the love. I had my sister, my best friend and Kyle's parents who were also my parents now too. This was my family and I was so happy with everything and everyone in it.

The hour was spent gushing over little Karson. She really was beautiful and she hadn't cried once since she stopped after coming out of my belly. I could already tell she was going to be laid back like Kyle.

It didn't take long either for Kyle to have Karson back in his arms. He was sneaky, he took her away just as soon as everyone had their meetings with her. He didn't pay attention to any of the chit chat that was going on in the room, his eyes and ears were all on Karson. Honestly, she had only been out of the womb a few hours and Kyle was already smothering her.

The nurse came in to check if everything was still okay with Karson and myself. Kyle kept an eye on everything she did, the poor nurse probably felt self conscious under his gaze. If she did, it didn't show.

After another half an hour, everyone was told to leave. I didn't want them to go, but a part of me was relieved. I was exhausted. My eyes just wanted to close and I just wanted to sleep. I was just so excited with the arrival of Karson and everything inbetween.

It felt as if my whole life had changed.

Soon, we were on our own. Matt, I loved him, but he was so loud sometimes. It was nice for a bit of peace and quiet.

Karson was still asleep in Kyle's arms, he hadn't put her down even though there was a little bed for Karson right beside him.

Kyle got up and walked over to the window. I closed my eyes. I didn't need to worry. My eyes wouldn't stay open.

Kyle was quiet and so was Karson.

I was falling asleep to the tick of the clock and the sound of my own breathing when Kyle spoke.

"I haven't always been the best person on this earth. I've done things I'm not proud of and I've said things I wish I hadn't. But, my little girl, you're not going to make the same mistakes I did. You're going to be strong, you're going to be independent and you're going to be the light this world needs. Just like your mummy." He spoke quietly. I know it was meant for Karson and not for my ears but I couldn't help but want to over hear him.

"I have plenty of stories of mummy, but I'll keep them for when you're a bit older. I didn't expect to fall in love with her, and I did more than fall in love with her in the end. I cherish her, I obsess her. She's not just my wife and your mummy, she's more than that, and you, Karson, you're more than my little girl."

"I remember that day I met your mummy's daddy, he'd be your grampy, and do you know what he said to me?" He asked Karson. "He said 'if you hurt my girl in any shape or form, I'll hurt you. I'm not saying that because I love her, I'm saying that because it kills me to see my baby girl cry and render me helpless. A parents worst fear is knowing your baby's heart is breaking and you can't fix it.' And Cali didn't know he said that, but you know what? I know what he means. Seeing you for the first time, my own flesh and blood, I don't want to see you breaking. I don't want to feel you breaking the same way I did."

Tears welled up in my eyes just hearing him. The things my dad said to Kyle when I wasn't listening, I wish I could tell him how much I loved him.

Kyle was so strong, stronger than he thought. He didn't break, it was just a little dent in his exterior. He is inspiring. I knew Karson was the purpose of making Kyle whole again. Turning him back into himself.

"Kyle." I croaked. "I love you." Kyle turned around to look at me. He stalked forward with Karson in his arms. His eyes were full of emotions, full of love to give.

"You baby, you're my happily ever after." Kyle grabbed my hand and squeezed. He bent down to kiss me on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened it. I needed him.

And as if Karson wasn't getting any attention, she began to cry. Kyle's eyes widened before he looked down at her. He looked like a broken man, even though babies were meant to cry. She was probably hungry.

I reached out for her but Kyle had other ideas. He started rocking her back and forth gently in his arms. He cooed and shushed her with the gentlest of voices.

"Kyle she's probably hungry." I stated. I was ready to give her the milk she needed.

"Don't cry for your daddy, little girl, come on." He gushed.

"Kyle-"

"I love you." He told Karson.

And just like that, she stopped crying.
