I sighed, opening my eyes, finding Maggie stilled curled up to me. I looked over, finding Jake still asleep as well. Maggie stirred as I pulled her closer, kissing her forehead.
                          
"Morning."
                          
"Morning." She snuggled back into me.
                          
"As much as I want to spend the day with you like this. Let's do a family day." she lifted her head so her chin is resting against my chest.
                          
"I like that idea. So what does this mean for us." I brought my hand up, running my fingers through her hair.
                          
"I'm not sure at the moment. I do know I want to spend more time with my girls. Let's take this slow. Get to know each other again."
                          
"We would like that." She smiled, leaning in for a kiss. I flipped us over, so her back is against the floor.
                          
"I will tell you this. When I'm with you, I feel at home." Her arms wrapped around my neck, bringing my lips back to hers.
                          
"You go home and start getting ready. I will go to my sisters and get Luna."
                          
"What are we doing?"
                          
"How about the apple orchard?"
                          
"Luna is going to love it. Okay, just let me know when you're on your way to the house. Try not to stay there too long."
                          
"I won't, I promise."
                          
"See you in a little bit." I kissed her before waving her off. I turned back to Jake, who is finishing his breakfast.
                          
"I'm going to get a shower. Then we are going to spend the day with our girls." Jake barked, letting me know he was happy about that.
                          
After a quick shower, I was off to my sisters. We have a lot to talk about, but I'm eager to spend the day with my girls.
                          
"Hey, Ty."
                          
"Hey, where is she at?"
                          
"In the living room watching cartoons."
                          
"Everything okay last night?"
                          
"Yeah, she was good as always. How was your night?" She smirked, knowing I spent the night with her best friend.
                          
"It was good." I smiled, thinking about Maggie being wrapped up in my arms.
                          
"How are you with everything?"
                          
"Honestly, it feels like I'm in a dream. I have the most amazing daughter, who is everything to me. As for her mom, I never stopped loving her. I probably should be mad about the whole thing, but it's not worth it."
                          
"I'm proud of you. You are here now, and that's what matters. Just promise me to be careful with both of them."
                          
"Daddy!" Luna came running into the kitchen, jumping into my arms.
                          
"Hi, the princess, did you have fun?"
                          
"Yeah, where's mommy?"
                          
"She's at home. How about we go pick up breakfast and take it to her."
                          
"Okay."
                          
"Go say bye to Aunt Fallen." I let her go as she ran over to Fallen. I grabbed her things before taking her into my arms.
                          
"Call me Ty."
                          
"I will." I texted Maggie, letting her know we were picking up breakfast before heading back to her place. Walking into the house, Luna ran over, jumping into her mom's arms.
                          
"Hey, baby girl, did you have fun?" I made myself comfortable as the girls caught up. Jake came over, curling up to my side.
                          
"Daddy." I opened my eyes, finding Luna in my lap. Her hair is in braids, with a ponytail. She was wearing a flannel shirt close to matching mine.
                          
"Was I sleeping?"
                          
"Yea, I'm ready to go."
                          
"Just need a mom."
                          
"I'm ready to go, sleepyhead." I turned at the sound of Maggie's voice. She is breathtakingly beautiful. Like her daughter, her hair is the same way along with the flannel.
                          
"All right, Jake. Let's take these beautiful ladies to the orchard." Jake got up as I carried Luna out to the truck buckling her in. I climbed into my spot, finding Maggie smiling at me.
                          
"What?" I smiled, reaching for her hand.
                          
"Just feels like a dream, and I don't want to wake up."
                          
"It's real Mags." I smiled, kissing her knuckles. Every few minutes, I would glance at both girls making sure they were okay.
                          
"We here?"
                          
"All most honey."
                          
We pulled up a few minutes later. I got out, going right over to Luna's door so I could get her out.
                          
"Hand, missy." Maggie reached for her hand as I did the same. Luna grabbed our hands as we made our way over to the ticket booth.
                          
"This one?" Luna asked, holding up an apple.
                          
"Last one. Do you want to get some lunch and play for a little bit?" She nodded as we walked into the market.
                          
"How did everything go this morning with Fallen?" Maggie asked Luna ran over to the playset.
                          
"Good, I'm sure she wants to talk more about it."
                          
"I hate that I hurt in the way that I did. I always made sure she was involved as much as possible. Your dad too."
                          
"My dad?" I chocked out, making Jake look at me.
                          
"Yeah, they got to spend about a year together. I have pictures of the two of them. I can get you copies." I nodded, not knowing what to say.
                          
"Ty," she whispered, squeezing my hand.
                          
"I'm glad they got that time together. I know that meant the world to him."
                          
"It did."
                          
"Daddy come play with me," Luna yelled, pulling me from my thoughts.
                          
"That's the boss," I smirked, walking over to push her on the swing set.
                          
"She is down for the count, dad." Maggie smiled, walking back into the living room. After spending most of the day at the orchard, we went to dinner before coming home.
                          
"I think she had fun today."
                          
"What about you?" I smirked, pulling her into my lap.
                          
"We both had an amazing day, thanks to you." I smiled, leaning up for a kiss.
                          
"I think date night should be next, just you and me. Then a date night just for Luna and me. You can have the night off and spend it with the girls." Her arms wrapped around my neck, bring our lips back together.
                          
"I don't deserve you." I shook my head, knowing it was the other way around.
                          
"Well, it's a good thing you're stuck with me for at least the next sixteen years."
                          
"Stay tonight."
                          
"Are you sure?"
                          
"I'm not ready for our perfect day to be over."
                          
"You don't have to tell me twice." I brought my lips back to hers while helping her take down her hair.
                          
"You are so beautiful."
