“Are you happy, Eddie baby?” Daddy asks me as he pulls me closer to his side.
We’re outside under the stars, a large projector screen setup with an animated movie about a bunny police officer and the fox criminal who she blackmails into helping her. It’s one of my faves, hence why Daddy chose it for tonight.
Snuggling deeper into his chest, I nod. “I’m very happy, Daddy.”
“That’s good. I wanted to make sure your day was perfect. It’s important to me you know just how special you are.”
“This was the best day. I feel very loved.”
Being surrounded by friends who understand me and embrace the parts I can’t always show means the world to me. There’s nothing like having a chance to be authentic when the world constantly wants me to be ‘normal’.
“Good. I wouldn’t want you to feel any other way.”
All those years ago, I never would have guessed we’d be here, yet at the same time, it feels like we were inevitable. Daddy and his Eddie baby. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
