The drive was a little over four hours. Halfway there I could tell she was getting tired.

"Are you ready to go see your daddy Jay?" "Yes!" She replied, wearing a big smile. Next thing I know she's passed out.

The rest of the drive wore thin and I was nervous. We made it into town right around the time I said we would.

Looking for his house i was confused a little by the numbers on the houses but I found it soon enough. Pulling into the driveway my stomach turned over. I put the car in park and just sat there for a little while. Unsure if anyone was home I put it in reverse to leave and come back later. As I started to drive forward there he was standing at the door. I parked in front of the house then and said, "look jay, there's your daddy." She exclaimed, "Daddy!"

He came and picked her up out of her carseat, carrying her back up to the house. Unfortunately for me, I was parked in a no parking zone and needed to move my car so I missed the look his face had made. I wonder if he smiled or if he cringed. I'll never know.
