"Chase! This was going to happen sooner or later and there's no point delaying it. I swear, if you don't go don't this minute, I'm cancelling our trip to Hawaii and you won't get any desert after dinner."
"Fine!" he pouted, even though his beautiful eyes were twinkling. "Let's go but if I don't like him, I tell him straight."
"No, you'll be polite at all times Chase, otherwise I promise you, you'll sleep on the couch tonight."
"But she's still a little kid, Soph!" he exclaimed.
"Honey, come here, sit down," I said, holding his hand and leading him to our bed. Once he sat down, I sat down on his lap. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist, his body heat seeping through my dress. I brushed my lips briefly against his before gently holding his stubble-covered cheek. In my opinion, the stubble made him look even sexier.
"I know it's hard to let Charis go, she's our baby and especially your princess but you have to understand, she is nearly twenty and her mate loves her and she loves her mate. You know what I told you, the closer you pull them to you, the further they'll go. Besides, she's not going to stop being our daughter just because she found her mate. She's always going to be our baby. Now, she's happy so let's be happy for her."
"It's just so hard. She's our only daughter and my princess. It's hard to let her go. I love her so much."
"She knows that and she loves you too, even though you and Kaden were, and still are, over-protective of her."
He blinked his tears away, his eyes still glistening. "You're right. She'll still be our baby and she won't stop loving us even after she has her own family."
"I love you so much, Chase. You're an amazing father and an amazing husband."
"I really don't deserve somebody as perfect as you Sophia Carter. I really don't."
"Well, tough because you're stuck with me forever."
"Good, because I love you so much it hurts, baby."
"Come on, let's go now. I told Charis to bring Cameron for dinner at five thirty and it's nearly six already."
