I peeked into the room, to find my angel sleeping soundly, dreaming of flowers and sunshine. I slowly made my way over and gently moved some hair out of her face, listening to her heartbeat. Hearing it made me think of so many nights watching my Bella sleep. I let a small smile escape at the memory. I kissed her forehead whispering I love you, and headed for the door with a heavy heart. As I reached the door I froze as she called out to me. 'Daddy?'.

"Yes baby?" I whispered as I turned and walked over to kneel beside her.

'I'm sorry daddy'. She thought.

"I know sweetheart." I said, my breath hitching as I stifled a sob. I began to lightly stroking her face with my thumb as I spoke. "Everything is ok now. I love you. No more behaving that way ok? I don't want to give you another spanking anytime soon."

Her eyes widened and she nodded. We stayed in silence for a moment, me stroking her face with my thumb as she stared at me.

'daddy?' She asked after a moment.

"Yes?" I replied.

'Am I still your little angel?' My heart broke as I leaned in to kiss her forehead gently.

"You will always be my angel. Nothing will ever change that." I whispered.

'I love you daddy.' She thought, as her eyes started to droop. My heart leapt out of my chest at the words, and I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face. I felt whole again.

"I love you too my little angel. So very much."

I tucked her more snuggly into her bed, and gave her one last kiss. "Time for sleep angel." I whispered. She yawned and nodded sleepily. 'Lay with me daddy?' she asked as she wiggled over, making room. Smiling, I lay on the bed next to her as she snuggled into my chest. I hummed to her quietly, stroking her hair with my hand, until she drifted off to sleep.

After a few minutes of watching her dream I slipped from her arms, placing in my stead her favorite bear. "Goodnight baby." I whispered before slipping from the room.

When I walked into our bedroom an eager Bella jumped into my arms and welcomed me back with a passionate kiss. "MMM…" she said against my lips. "You see?" She whispered. "Now I know you feel better, but I still think I should cheer you up and I know the perfect way too…" She trailed off, dipping her head to place kisses on my neck. I groaned at the feel of her lips against my skin. "We know you are a good father, let me prove you are a good husband too." She moved and pulled me toward the bed, kissing me softly as we went. As we fell on the bed with a bounce, I whispered I love you and proceeded to show her how much, the rest of the night.


The End.
