He knocked timidly on the door.
“Go away.” he heard Abby sniffle. He sighed and opened the door. She was sitting on her bed knees drawn to her chest and head on them crying. Bam sat down next to her and took the bold step of gathering her in his arms.
“It’s not far.” she sobbed into his chest. Bam held her close and stroked her hair gently.
“I know baby. I know.” he said softly.
“I didn’t want a party but I really did. You actually cared and I didn’t want you to and I was having fun and my cake.” she chocked a little on a sob and cried harder. Bam rubbed her back attempting to sooth her.
“Why didn’t you want me to care, dear?” he asked. She sniffled taking a gulp of air.
“My mom didn’t care so I thought you wouldn’t care. I wanted a reason to hate you so I could go back to Finland but you were nice. Why were you nice?” she sobbed looking up at him. Bam wiped a few tears from her eyes.
“Because, sweetie, I want to be there for you. I want to try to make up for all the times I wasn’t there. I want you to have everything in the world that your heart desires. I want you to be happy.” Bam told her. Abby had tears cascading down her face. She hugged Bam and stayed there. He kissed the top of her head.
“Are you okay?” he asked when she stopped crying. She nodded a bit and yawned. “You should sleep. You’ve had a rough day.” he told her She nodded. She gave him a final hug before scooting off his lap.
“Thanks dad, can you tell Novak to come in?” she asked. Bam nodded and kissed her forehead. When he left she changed into-
Novak walked in just as she was slipping under the sheets. He smiled at her and made his way over to her, He sat on the bed and laid down next to her. She cuddled into him and sighed as he wrapped her arms around her.
“This is nice.” she whispered.
“Yeah it is.” Novak stated. “What happened with you and Bam? He’s been smiling like he won the lottery.” She thought for a second then frowned.
“Aw fuck I called him dad. God damn it.” she muttered. Novak chuckled a bit.
“That’s cute you guys are getting along.”
“UH! It’s not cute.” she muttered half awake. He smiled and kissed her cheek.
“It’s cute.” he whispered.
“Asshole.” she yawned.
“Sleep, babe.’ he went to get up but she pulled him back down with her making him laugh.
“Don’t you dare leave me.” she told him.
“I wont ever leave you babe.” he promised. She smiled a little.
“Good, cause I’d fucking kill you.” she warned laughing. He shook his head and pulled he close and soon they both drifted into sleep.
