saw u had girl dad! tim inspo, what abt a him taking her to a daddy/daughter dance??
Now here’s the thing, the whole time leading up to the dance, Tim is a little uncomfortable with the whole thing. The thought of spending a whole evening with a bunch of middle aged dads and their tiny princesses? Not his ideal Saturday evening. But Jade is so excited. She hasn’t shut up about it since she found out what a daddy daughter dance *was*.
“Me and my daddy are going to a special dinner this weekend!” She’s told just about everyone.
“We’re going to wear fancy clothes like in mommy and daddy’s wedding pictures!”
The night of, Lucy teases him as he fidgets with the suit jacket.
“I can’t believe I’m wearing a tux to hang out with 20 5 year olds…”
“Yes but think about how excited *your* 5 year old is about this! She’s been so mad at us for not inviting her to our ‘fancy party’ for years.”
Tim softens a bit at that. Jade loved his and Lucy’s wedding photos, and threw a fit when she found out she hadn’t been invited—even though she wouldn’t be born for another year or so.
“And she looks *super* cute.” It’s as if the word ‘cute’ spawns the girl.
“Daddy!! Look at me in my dress!” Jade twirls around in her qipao inspired toddler dress; it was in a light blue with navy blossoms covering it. A matching blue to his tie. He smiled; he couldn’t help it. She did look super cute. Like someone put Lucy in the dryer.
“Ooh! Okay let me get a picture!” Lucy pushes them in front of the fireplace, the wedding picture above them.
Tim picks Jade up, and presses a raspberry to her cheek and she squeals, “you look beautiful, Bug.”
“Thank you daddy!” Jade giggles.
Lucy snaps a few pictures before Tim insists it’s time to leave, but Jade insists herself on seeing one of the pictures.
She gasps. “LOOK!” She points at the last one taken. Then she points to the picture above the hearth.
“Just like Mama and Daddy.”
