Chapter 35
Michael's P.O.V.
I sighed as I watched Mya walk away. I didn't mean to make her upset. I just didn't want people to stare
at her body. I know she didn't understand but I guess....I was a little shocked.
"Mya!!" I called running after her. I just want this day to be special for her.
She ignored me and continued to walk faster.
"Mya!!" I yelled again.
This time she stopped and turned around. The sight of her face broke my heart into pieces.
Fresh tears flooded her face and her eyes were puffy and red. "Mya..." I sighed wiping her tears. She
pushed my hand away harshly and trotted over to the benches by the food court. She plopped down on
the seat and burried her face into her hands.
"Baby..." I said softly....she didn't answer. I slowly sat next to her but didn't speak. She sat like that for
quite awhile but then slowly looked up wipping her tears. She had a distant look in her eyes.
"Daddy..." she said standing up and climbing into my lap. I rubbed her back softly and kissed her
forehead. "It's ok princess...daddy's here." She shook her head and tightened her grip on my shirt. I'm
starting to realize that's her thing when she needs comfort.
I slowly rocked her back and forth as the tremble in her hands began to slow down. "Baby there's no
need to get worked up. You didn't know any better.."
It took her awhile but she slowly return to her regular happy state and looked up at me with big worried
eyes.
"Daddy can we still go shopping?" I smiled and pecked her lips, she's so cute. "Of course we can still
go shopping baby. Remember, this is your day and you can get whatever you want."
She smiled brightly and grabbed my hand, "Daddy let's go back to that store we just left!!! I really like it
there!!"

"Oh oh daddy how about this one?" Mya asked, holding up an olive green jacket. I nodded trying to
match her excitement, "It's nice babe!! You should get it!!" She smiled happily and placed the jacket in
my arms.
She slowly sighed and placed her finger on her chin, making the thinking face. "Umm...I think I'm done
daddy I'm ready for the hot air balloon now." I frowned as I adjusted the pile of clothing in my arms.
"Baby we can still shop...you only picked clothes from one store." She shrugged, "I think that this is
enough daddy."
I nodded, "Ok baby let's go pay for all this."
We waited on the long line for quite some time. Mya groaned, "we're gonna miss the whole day if they
don't hurry up." I laughed and brushed her stray hairs from her face. "Baby you have to be
patient...look were up next."
I carried the large pile of clothing and jewelry up to the lady at the register and her eyes widened. "Sir
are you...purchasing all this?" I raised an eyebrow, "is that a problem?" She looked at me then back at
the clothes. "No no sir I've just never seen anyone purchase this many pieces of clothing."
She quickly rang up everything and spoke quietly, "your total is $234.67."
I reached into my pocket pulling out my wallet. "Daddy noo!!" Mya gasped yanking my wallet from my
hands.
"Let me put some stuff back."
I shook my head and gently took the wallet from her tiny hands. "Don't worry about it princess. I'm
spoiling you rotten today. Money means nothing when it comes to you."
She sighed defeated, "are you sure..?" I nodded pecking her lips, "I positive baby....just let me take
care of you, my queen."

We made it back to the car and Louis took our bags. "Hello Mr. Hoffstetter, how was the first part of
your adventure." Mya giggled and answered for me. "It was fun Louis!! Daddy bought me a whole
bunch of clothes!! We even bought something for you!!" Louis' eyes widened,
"w-what do you mean..?" Mya dug into the bag and pulled out a little box with Louis' name on it.
"Here you go.."
Mya handed the box to Louis and he knitted his eyebrows together. He ran his fingers over the black
velvet fabric and looked over at me. "I can open it?" I smiled, he looked like a child who received a
present for the first time. "Go ahead and open it Louis."
He slowly opened the box and his eyes widened, "wow..a gold chain...Mr. Hoffstetter I can't take this..."
I smirked, "and why is that?" He looked up at and his jaw dropped.
"U-Um well um.."
"Daddy..hot air balloon now!!" Mya said ignoring the situation. I grabbed Mya's hand and walked over to
the car door. "Come on Louis we have a hot air balloon to ride!!" He quickly snapped out of his daze
and opened the door for us to get in. "Sorry sir and...thank you." I smiled, "you're very welcome."
We started driving on the highway and Mya whimpered and twitched her head slightly.
"What's wrong sweetheart?"
She pointed down at herself and pouted. "Daddy my diaper is..." stopped. I looked at her but she didn't
look at me. "You're diaper is wet?" She shook her head. "No.." She shut her eyes and began to rock
back and forth.
I quickly pulled her into my lap and she let out a sharp screech. "Baby calm down. Tell daddy what's
wrong." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
She whimpered again. She didn't have to tell me what was wrong because...I smelled it. It was a strong
rank smell....she pooped.
"Baby it's ok don't be embarrassed. I'll take care of you and changed you really fast." I reached into the
trunk and pulled out her bag with her diapers and wipes in it.
"Hey Louis can you pull over for a second. I need to just take care of something really quick."
"Yes sir," he pulled over into a grassy area and unlocked the door. I positioned Mya so that she was
laying across the seat and pulled her jeans down her slim legs.
I knew she was embarrassed because Louis was there but I reassured her that Louis didn't mind and
he nodded his head in agreement so that she knew I was telling the truth.
I quickly changed her making sure the smell was gone and then we were back on the road. I didn't
realize that this place was so far.
It took about a half an hour to get there but we finally arrived.
"Hello Mr. Hoffstetter!! It's been awhile!" Tobias greeted before I even managed to get out of the car. I
grabbed Mya's hand and followed Tobias inside. "Hey Tobi this is my girlfriend Mya. Mya this is Tobi."
Mya's eyes widened as the word 'girlfriend' but she quickly recovered with a small wave.
"Wow she's beautiful Michael." I nodded, "she most certainly is."
He immediately led us into the back room so we could get set up. "Ok" he said smiling happily. "The hot
air balloon is waiting right outside for you. I was going to give you some help but I remembered that you
did this several times. So you two just head off when you're ready." With that he left the room leaving
just Mya and I alone.
"Daddy...you called me your girlfriend.." I nodded walking close to her. "Isn't that what you are?" She
was quiet for a minute but then smiled hugging me. "I love you..." She mumbled almost inaudible. I
smiled kissing her lips, "I love you too princess now let's get on this hot air balloon."
I opened the door that led outside and shivered at the cool air hitting my face. I turned to Mya and
smiled, "you ready baby?" She grabbed my hand then nodded firmly, almost as if she was nodding
more to herself than me.
We slowly entered the hot air balloon and I pulled the string firmly, yanking it off the hook. The balloon
slowly ascended up into the air.
My eyes scanned the scenery and I smiled. It was absolutely breath taking. The trees were just so
small and there was green everywhere. Nature is such a beautiful thing. "You like it baby?" I asked
turning to Mya. I pouted as I watched my poor baby crouch down in the corner and shut her eyes.
"Come here princess." I opened my arms and she quickly ran into them holding me tightly.
"Daddy..." She whimpered. "It's too high.." I shook my head and hugged her close to my body. "Baby
there's nothing to be scared of... I'm right here." She let out loud sob as a gust of wind hit the balloon,
shaking it slightly.
I thought for a moment, "Baby were flying!!!" I yelled loudly as I let go of her and held my arms out
horizontally. She sobs immediately stopped and she smiled brightly.
"Daddy I wanna fly too."
I grabbed her waist and pulled her close. "Hold you arms out baby.." She quickly did and giggled,
"Daddy I'm flying!!!" Before I could speak she turned her head to the left and shouted, "Jamie look I'm
flying!!" I frowned. I need to call Susan again...
