Chapter 6:
I knocked on Caitlin's room as she made no sound, but her scent was strongly there, so I knew she was in there.
I heard her sob croak through and knowing she was crying made things worse.
"Caitlin honey, let me in." I croaked out, my voice cracking. I heard the little thumping of her feet on the floor as the door unlocked and she let me in. "Baby I'm sorry," I said to her as I held my little girl in my arms.
"Is Dada angry with me?" she questioned with tears eyes.
"No, no, he loves you, he would never be angry with you he's just a bit hurt and upset, why would you think he's angry with you?" I asked her.
"Becwause I was being spwoily and bwatty and I said some wreally mean things to him. "
I stroked her midnight black hair and kissed her forehead. "If you say sorry, he'll forgive you. And I'm sure daddy is in his study, so why don't we go now?" I asked as she thought for a short moment.
She nodded her little head and hopped off my lap, as she walked to the door with her pyjamas still on.
We walked to Sin's office hand in hand as I let out a breath and knocked. "Come in" I heard him say as I pushed open the door. "What is it?" he asked, his voice held a tinge of anger.
Before I replied Caitlin came from behind the door into the office. "Caitlin wanted to tell you something," I said to him as he focused his full attention on her.
"What is it princess?" he asked.
"I'm sorry daddy," she said. And that seemed to be the greatest thing Sin ever heard. Caitlin Ran to his arms as he caught her. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.
"It's okay baby," he said as Caitlin relaxed in his arms. Sin looked at me with a smile and mouthed the words I've never heard him say.
'Thank you.' and that honestly seemed to lighten my heart.
