It felt unreal and though as a matter of fact, it was, Alex wished for the love of god that it wasn't.
Watching MJ go about preparing tea for the tea party he'd been 'invited' to, Alex couldn't help but fall into his thoughts as he realized that perhaps this would be the first time he would have the luxury of being invited to a tea party.
It was a shame but Alex had missed out on spending time with MJ due to the nature of his work as a spy.
Isabella had found her way to manage but not MJ.
He'd been absent for her first steps, for her first words which just happened to be 'daddy', for her first bruise when she began learning how to ride a bike…the list went on and it further exacerbated Alex's shame as it did.
Just as he was about to drown himself in regret, MJ's words snapped him out of his reverie.
"Dad, make room, Princess Sparkles is here and you are on her seat." She said in the most adorable tone possible, her eyes filled with excitement.
