     Once I met Echo, I immediately bought a car seat afterward, knowing she would probably need one if she rides in my car.

     It certainly came in handy considering I have a lot planned for us today.

     I was buckling her into my car while she was just giggling and babbling to me. She's so cute I cannot keep a straight face in front of her.

     My two girls were making me soft, but I wasn't necessarily complaining about it.

     "Zee! We're gonna have so much fun! I have so much to tell you about mommy!" Echo squeals.

     How is her little body so energetic at 6 in the morning?

     "Sure baby, but you need to get a little more sleep first."

     She whines loudly and pouts, She is so adorable!

     "After you are all rested, we can go to the mall and get mommy something? And then get food after! How about that?"

     "Yes yes yes!" She yells out. I kiss her forehead and shut the car door. I get into the driver's seat and buckle myself in. I look at the rearview mirror and turn it so that I can watch Echo while I'm driving.

     I gave her my phone so she can watch some videos on youtube.

     I see her give out a tiny little yawn, making me silently coo at her.

     I soon begin the drive to my apartment.

❀❀❀

     I woke up groggily, feeling a tiny weight on me. I open one eye and see a little body on top of mine. I open both of my eyes and see Echo letting out some high-pitched snores. I quietly chuckle and reach over for my phone to check the time.

     10:32 am.

     Perfect.

      Time to wake the little baby up.

     I sat up in my California King-sized bed, Echo still in my hold.

     "Baby girl, it's time to get up." I coo, gently rubbing her back.

     She makes some noises and slowly peels open her eyes.

     "Sleepy." She whines out, moving her hands to rub her eyes. I grab her wrists so she can't damage her little eyes, and hug her closer to me so I can get out of bed.

     She wraps her tiny little arms around my neck and rests her head on my shoulder. Uhm, does she still use a pacifier?? I should've asked her mom.

     I walk over to the bag I packed for her, and grab out her toothbrush and toothpaste.

      I bring us over to the bathroom so we can brush our teeth together, her giggling at me getting toothpaste in my beard half of the time.

     I change into a beige suit and change her into a yellow and white checkered romper.

     I do her hair, putting it into two little buns and I swoop her edges with the Edge Control she handed me.

    "Alright, are you ready to go shopping?" I crouch down, giving her a bright smile.

     "Yes!" She squeals, clapping her chubby hands. I chuckle and pick her up, resting her on my hip. I grab my wallet, keys, and her bag. We walk out the door and to my car, where I buckle her in her car seat and give her my phone.

     I get into the driver's seat and start to drive off.

     A few minutes into the ride, my phone rings, which pops up on the screen in my car. It's Riley.

     I click the button on my wheel to answer it and immediately hear screaming in my car speakers.

     It was a facetime call.

     And Echo was holding my phone.

     "Hello!" Her little voice yells out.

     "Oh em gee. Hi, little one! You're so cute! Did Zameer kidnap you?" Riley says in the softest tone I've ever heard him talk in.

     Echo giggles at him calling her cute and gives off her cheesy smile.

     "I don't even know what 'kidnap' means!"

"Did Zameer steal you, little one?"

     "Hehe! No, of course not! Me and him are going to the mall to get something for my mommy because she's not feeling well. Zee like likes her!" Echo rats me out, giggling again.

     I give off a playful glare at her, knowing Riley is going to drill me about this.

     "Oh wow! Can you give him the phone please?"

     "Mhm! You're really pretty, by the way." Echo says, smiling into the phone.

     "Why, thank you, sweetheart! You, yourself are gorgeous." I'm guessing he winked at her because she started giggling uncontrollably and leaned her little body forward to hand me the phone.

     I reach my arm back and grab the phone from her chubby fingers.

     I set up my phone on my stand and Riley just stares at me before speaking.

     "So, I'm assuming you did not steal the kid?"

     "Obviously not. What would I get out of stealing a little girl."

     "Who knows. There's some weird people out there. But when were you planning on telling me that your girl had a kid?"

     "I just found out myself. I wasn't even thinking about you."

     "Ouch, I'm wounded." Riley chuckles.

     "Why did you call me?"

     "Oh, I was just bored and I knew you weren't at work, but it seems your busy elsewhere." He says in a questioning tone.

     "Thanks for the observation. Oh, wait, someones calling me. I'll call you right back." I say before hanging up the phone and passing it back to Echo, who just giggles at my antics.

     Echo and I walk around the mall for a little bit, hand in hand, before she spots a store.

     "Ouu! Let's go there! Mommy always shops there!

      She was pointing to Victoria's Secret.

     Oh boy.

     "Sweetie, maybe we should wait for mommy to come with us before we go in there?" I say, bending down so I'm at her height.

     She nods her head and pulls me towards build a bear.

     This continues for quite some time. We got Phoebe some clothes and Echo chose a heated stuffed hedgehog for her mother. It was so fat.

     Echo got a lot of toys, of them being the stuffed animal of the Strawberry from cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

     I already know her mom is going to drill me for spoiling her, but I can't help it!

     We get some chick-fil-a from the food court, her sitting on my lap and eating my fries, although she got her own. She then took my cookie. I don't mind, she can get whatever she wants.

     "Zee?" She asks as she sitting on my hip while were on our way to the car. It was 3 o clock now.

     "Yes, baby?"

     "Can you be my daddy now?" She asks, innocence swarming her doe eyes and her lower lip pouted out. She is so cute I can't do this.

     I sigh as I strap in her car seat.

     "I'd love to be your daddy, but it's still too soon. I'll talk to your mommy about it, okay sweet girl?"

     She lets out a cute little yawn and nods her head.

     I kiss her forehead and shut the door, walking over to the driver's side.

     I had one question in mind.

     Is it normal for kids to get attached this quickly?
