This was a lovely part, Barbara. Your portrayal of Becca was often absolutely irresistible:
His inner debate was interrupted by a pair of brown eyes that blinked into the morning. The drowsy glance Becca gave him made Clark’s heart melt. Whenever he looked into those eyes he forgot about all the disadvantages of being a father. This was worth any prize he had to pay. He owed it to Becca and Lily to do his very best at being the father this little girl needed.
Okay, it's
Clark who is an irresistible father here, but I'll happily settle for that, too!
“Good morning, pumpkin,” he replied. “Hey, I think you broke my nose, last night.”
“That’s impossible, daddy,” Becca defended herself. She examined his nose closely and placed a wet kiss on his forehead. “Healed,” Becca stated, convinced.
Aaawww!!!!
“Mmhh, how about going to the ice-rink?” Clark suggested. Becca didn’t answer; she just became a one-girl-embrace-force.
Aaaaaaaawwwwww!!!!!!
Clark couldn’t actually tell if she was brimming over with enthusiasm or trying to kill him. Whatever it was, he enjoyed it. A couple of minutes later Becca solved the mystery and kissed him on his cheek. He could hardly mistake that with an attempt to murder.
Aaaaaaawwwwwwww!!!!!
Becca wore her most incredible smile. She knew that it could get her about anything from Clark.
Can't help it, I love Becca directing her irresistible smile at her father!!!!
A moment later Becca had put on the skates and was on the ice. It seemed like she had grown wings.
Oh, oh, oh, so beautiful....
And I loved it when Becca asked Clark about love. Hmmmm. I'm so looking forward to the *real* introduction of Lois into this story, Barbara!!
I'm eagerly looking forward to more!
Ann
Love the way Clark deal with Becca's questions.
