Chasing Soma Read Online Free PDF Page A

putting my life on the line. Well he is about to be a very happy man.
    “I’m done. I will not be reenlisting. It’s time for me to be a dad and a husband, when I can convince her to marry me.” Peter rolls his eyes but I see the laughter he is trying to hide.
    “You and Soma are like two people with one soul that is only whole when together. You two need to stop the bullshit and get on with it.” He says so simply yet there is beauty in what he said. I have to agree. We need to stop fucking around. I need to let her know that no matter what she throws at me that I am not leaving again. I did it once and look where it got me. I am having to get to know my child who should have always know me.
    I want my ring to finally be on her finger and I want another kid growing in her belly. I want to experience it all again, only from the beginning this time. I want the family I planned before I left. Before my dream was shattered. I let go of the bitterness I had been holding on to about how we broke up. She was right, I should have fought for her. I should have made her see that she is the only one for me. Hell she always has been.
    We all sit down and eat together. I enjoy the banter and my baby girl making a happy mess. I clean her up afterward but she has syrup in her hair. I ask for momma’s help because I have no idea how to bathe a baby girl. She smiles and leads us to the bathroom. She walks me through it. I refuse to let her do it herself. I need to know how to care for my daughter. I won’t always have someone there to help.
    After her bath where I ended up wearing a lot of water myself, I help her dress. I pull her hair back into a simple ponytail. I know nothing about how to braid hair. I guess I will be learning that too. I take her hand and we go out to see all of the animals. She is overly excited about them as I tell her about each one. She loves the horses the most, especially the two foals that are still very small.
    It is fifteen minutes until twelve when I buckle her in her seat and start off to pick up her mother. She talks non-stop about the horses and pigs as I drive. I smile at my princess. She is very much like her mother. When something would excite Soma, she wouldn’t shut up about it. I made it my mission to always show her something new and exciting. Sometimes it was a walk in the nature reserve or other times it was showing her a new position when we made love.
    “Let’s get mommy and go eat at the diner.” I tell Leah. She claps her hands excitedly and leaps into my arms when I unbuckle her seat. I lift her on to my hip and we walk up the stairs to my errant woman’s house. I knock on the door and it’s immediately opened.
    “Mommy.” Leah cries out and launches herself at her mom, who catches her up. She kisses her on both cheeks and she breathes in her sweet smell. I know how it is. I love the way she smells too, like strawberries and sunshine. I have missed so much time with her, such as watching her change from a baby to a toddler. I never want to miss another day. I only hope I can convince Soma into giving me another chance.
    “Did you have fun?” She asks our daughter who points at me.
    “I has a daddy. We see the horseys and pigs.” She starts making the noises of the animals to show her mother that she can sound like them. I laugh as she does the pig. I look up to see Soma smiling at me as she used to when I did something she liked. I want to see that look more often.
    “Come on you two. I need to feed my ladies.” I tell them as I lead them to my rental. I buckle in Leah and make sure that Soma is in before climbing in myself. I start the car before turning to Soma.
    “The diner okay with you?” I ask her and she smiles up at me.
    “That sounds good.” I wonder if she still gets the burger and fries with a strawberry milkshake. I always knew what she would order anywhere we went. She was always a creature of habit. I could always count on knowing exactly what she needed
