02-Chapter 2 - The Toddler Zone
And then one night, I had the biggest scare of my life. I was so tired from working long hours, trying to get that promotion, that I zoned out while cooking dinner.
Thankfully, we’d had a fire alarm installed as soon as we purchased a stove. And I always kept a fire extinguisher handy. I yelled for Shenene to get out of the house. I didn’t want to take any chances with the two loves of my life. I didn’t care if I died so much, but I didn’t want to lose either of them.
With my quick, level-headed thinking, and the aid of the fireperson, we managed to get the fire under control before it was finally extinguished. I lavished attention on both Shenene and Mina after my stupid error. I don’t think either one of them held it against me though.
Heliumina seemed to sense that her daddy was upset, and came over (after things had calmed down) to comfort me. Wasn’t that just the SWEETEST thing?! :O}
*sigh*
Awwww! Tell him he’s not a bad father! Just… awww!

Oh man! Poor Hydro. He is so not a bad father! He’s actually an excellent father to be so concerned with missing all those precious moments! I hope things get better for him when Mina turns into a child. You know girls seem to manage to find a way to be “Daddy’s little girl”.

*sniff sniff* Hydro is being too hard on himself. I’m sure there will be plenty of time for him to
skill build with Mina. Before he knows it he’ll be teaching her how to putt! :0))

Oh, poor Hydro! He isn’t a bad father! It is just one of those things that mom’s have a head start on. I’m sure he will be there to teach Mina all the skills she needs for college.

All I have to say is that I’m crossing my fingers that when Mina turns into a child, she rushes outside to hug Hydro when he gets home from work.
Maybe then he’ll believe he’s not a bad father and that his daughter simply appreciates the time she does get with him.

Awww, I agree with everyone else, Hydro isn’t a bad father! He loves his little girl and always wants the best for her. Any little girl should be so lucky to have him as a daddy. =)

Well this chapter certainly has spun a different view for me. I never thought guys would think that way… Hydro is such a good man to care about these little things most of us would probably wouldn’t think much into.

What a cute toddler she is! And soon big enough to tell her dad she loves him even if he can’t spend so much time with her as he’d like.
