Should I make a series about Wilhelmina’s life as William’s daughter? It does seem like my stories about her are rather … bunch of sequels after the one shot of William returning home…

What do you think?

Questionable Questions

Pairing: Louis x wife! Reader
Genre: FAMILY FLOOOOOOF with a tiny bit of angst

Read my other stories here!
(1//2//3)

Freya’s questions had gotten extremely questionable as she grew up. Every time you’d have tea time with your dear husband and little girl, she’d suddenly pop some very questionable questions for the both of you. Such as…

~~~~~~

“Mommy, Daddy, where do babies come from?”

Louis almost choked on his tea from the question. You, on the other hand, literally choked on the cookie you were munching on. Poor little Freya panicked and lightly patted your back with her small soft hands.

Your dear husband had a huge blush spread along his cheeks. He looked down at Freya with a rather forced smile, “My dear, what’s with the sudden curiosity?”

“Mommy’s belly suddenly grew big and she said my little sibling is growing inside. But how did little bean get inside mommy’s belly?”

‘Oh God…’ Louis sighed. He was rather conflicted on how to answer the little girl. Before she’d go to one of her uncles or heck maybe even Moran or Jack, he’d better try to convince his little girl.

Before he could speak, you had already regained your composure and pulled Freya into your arms.

“Dearie, it’s a bit of a complicated process about how a baby is born. Let’s just say, after a few weeks or months, maybe even years after a couple gets married, the mother will be blessed by God after finding out she is pregnant.

The soul of the baby will be blown into the mother’s belly and slowly the baby will be created and formed for 9 months.”

Freya’s (e/c) eyes shined at the explanation. But then another question came out from her mouth, “But how does the baby come out?”

It’s your turn to turn red. Louis decided to drop the question by telling her that the answer will come when she’s older.

Freya pouted at her father and shot another question to him, “Then how do you and mommy meet? And how did you know that mommy is the one for you? And when did you decide to have me? And-”

“Now, now, honey. Slow down with your questions. Mommy and daddy will answer them one by one.” Louis let out a chuckle as he reached out to pat Freya’s head.

Louis recalled when he first met you at the orphanage. Like him and William, you were an orphan. You came from the working class, but upon the sudden murder of your parents and the fall of their business, you were thrown to the orphanage both he and William were sent to.

You both befriended each other and eventually became close friends. Whenever William wasn’t around, you’d stay by Louis’ side and helped him when he had an episode. After both he and his brother left with Albert, you were left alone to care for the fellow orphans. You helped the caretakers and taught the kids what William and Louis had taught you.

Once in a while, Albert would bring the brothers to the orphanage to visit everyone,

“How are you feeling now, Louis?” You asked with a warm smile on your face. The young man’s ears turned red upon seeing your smile. You had grown finely despite it has only been about 5 months since you last seen each other.

“I’m fine now,” He then took your hands in his, “Thank you, for being by my side.”

You gave him a tight hug, “I’ll always be by your side, I promise.”

He returned your hug. Suddenly the head caretaker came rushing to where you and Louis were.

“(y/n)! (y/n)! Lord Rockwell would like to meet you.”

You were shocked by the name. It was the regular customer your parents once had to serve. Both your parents and the Lord’s family had a friendly relationship. Louis then ushered you to the small meeting room. He had left you with a smile which gave you motivation to face the Lord.

“(y/n) my dear! I’m so glad to see you’re alright. Why didn’t you let us know that your family’s business was ripped away?” The Lady of the Rockwell family gave you a tight hug.

You gave her a forced smile, “No, I can’t allow a noble to get into my family’s problems. It would be a burden -”

“No! We had a promise with your parents to keep the (l/n)’s Floral Shop alive. We looked for you these past few months after finding out Ms and Mr (l/n)’s passing.” The Lord cuts you off.

You were surprised by their search for you. You can tell that they were genuine. They would often chip in to donate money to your parents’ shop for the donation to the orphanage your parents collected. You were thankful for their help. Their next proposal surprised you even more,

“So, (y/n), would you like to stay with us? We would like to provide you a new family, a safe place for you to stay and live happily.”

You accepted their proposal to be adopted into the Rockwell family. There, you met their other adoptive daughter, who is now, William’s wife. Both you and William’s wife were treated equally. You were provided with education and allowed to work at your family’s newly built shop.

The Rockwell family provided both you and William’s wife with everything a child wanted. A loving family, proper education, happiness. It may be hard as you and your adoptive sister were looked down for being adopted daughters. But the two of you pushed the negative away by striving for your goals.

“I knew your mother was the one for me when I saw her handling ungrateful people with kindness and professionalism. She never gets angry unless necessary. Your mother’s patience are what I admire, she never looked down upon me when I was ill. That’s why, dear Freya,” Louis picked up his daughter and placed her on his lap, “I want you to be a good girl and follow your mother’s footsteps. Be kind to everyone.

If one treats you badly, there’s no need for revenge. Forgive them, it may be hard, but that’s what make you a good person. Take your time forgiving them, as long as you don’t take revenge against them. Help them instead. Lend them a helping hand.”

Freya tilted her head slightly with a little frown on her face, “But what if they don’t want my help?”

You smiled at your daughter, “Then it’s okay. Just give them some time. You can help so many people. Help those with good intentions, avoid people who ask for your help for bad deeds.”

The little girl leaned back onto Louis’ chest and looked up to him, “Well then, can I help out at mommy’s shop?”

Both you and Louis chuckled at her cute question. The man caressed her hair gently, “Of course, you can.”

The three of you spend the moment happily and the last question from little Freya was forgotten. Surely she won’t ask the said question after a few months later.

~~~~~~

I decided to write about Louis’ romance with you after rereading the manga. I’ll probably write about Albert’s domestic life after writing a little bit more about Louis soon.

I forgot that I mentioned about Louis having a son. Don’t mind me being a forgetful person.

~~~~~~

“Mommy will be going out with your aunties and Miss Hudson. So please behave yourself and be good for daddy, okay?” You asked your daughter as you styled her blond hair into a ponytail.

Your little girl nodded, “Okay mommy! Don’t worry! I’ll be good for daddy!”

You smiled and chuckled. You continued styling her hair and made sure she was comfortable in her casual blue dress. You talked to your daughter a little bit more before walking with her to the sunroom. Her attention soon averted to her father who was drinking tea with his brothers. Her cousins were minding their own business as well.

Wilhelmina lets go of your hand and ran to her father’s side, “Good morning, daddy!”

“Good morning, sweetheart.” William placed his cup down and pulled his dear daughter into his arms.

You watched your husband and child having their moment together and greeted your brother in laws. You sat beside your husband and poured yourself a cup of tea as well.

After taking a sip of your morning tea, you heard William said to her, “Mina dear, I know you’re excited to spend a day with me but would you be a darling and go play with your cousins first? Daddy wants to talk to mommy before she leaves.”

“Okay~”

‘Oh wow… It was hard to get her detached from me before…’ You thought.

You recalled the time before William and Sherlock returned home. Miss Hudson and your sister in laws tried to drag you out to spend a day with them after caring for your little Mina. Poor baby, she never wanted to let go of you that Louis had to pull her off you.

'Noo!! Mommy!!“ Mina cried for you in Louis’ arms.

"Mina, let your mother take a fresh air,” Louis tried to tell her.

The little blond shook her head in disagreement. Her shiny ruby eyes was filled with unstoppable tears. Then, the hero of the day, Grandpa Jack stepped in, “Come here, dearie, let’s go play with your cousins for the day. You love to play with them, don’t you? Let your mom have a day for herself.”

Little Mina looked up from Louis’ shoulder to meet with Jack’s kind eyes and nodded. Her lips still pouty, her chubby cheeks were puffed.

You can’t help but find it cute with her face like that. But at the same time you were worried. Mina was extremely attached to you as her father was absent in her life. She only had her uncles as her father figures. There were even times where she accidentally called Louis, 'daddy’.

Poor man was flustered but at the same time he felt sad for his niece. His dear wife was surprised but understood the little girl’s position and never questioned it. She then ushered you out to the sunroom after assuring you that Mina will be okay if Jack is around.

“Don’t worry, (y/n). Little Mina will be fine.” She then looks at Louis, “We’ll be back by evening, okay? Make sure to look after (c/n) and Mina properly, dear!”

Before Louis could respond, he was being glared by his wife’s murderous eyes, “If we hear the kiddies cries the moment we return, you will be faced by my skillet,” She then smiled sweetly at him, “Okay, honey?”

“Yes, dear…” Louis sweat dropped at his wife’s antics.

“Well then, (y/n), let us go shopping and buy little treats for our babies~” Your sister in law chirped, “We don’t want to make Miss Hudson wait for us too long~”

You sighed at the flashback. But seeing how William was able to discipline Wilhelmina, you were more than assured that everything will be okay.

After having breakfast with your family, you looked to the children once again, seeing that they were also happily talking and laughing together as they ate. You smiled at the beautiful sight and looked up to your husband.

“Will, I’ll be leaving with the ladies soon. Can I trust you with Mina?” You asked him for more assurance.

William gave you a warm smile and nodded, “We’ll be fine. I’ll be taking her to her favorite flower field. Please, don’t worry about us.”

You knew better to trust your dear husband. You nodded with a smile and gave him a kiss before standing up to leave. You went to the kids’ table and gave them goodbye kiss and hugs,

“Mommy will be back soon, okay? Be a good girl for daddy.” You placed a kiss your daughter’s forehead.

“Okay, mommy! Stay safe!” Wilhelmina said cheerfully.

A few moments after you and your sisters left, your dear daughter was getting ready to leave with her father and uncles. She inherited your crafty hands as she styled her long blond hair beautifully.

After feeling satisfied with her hard work, she went out of her room to the sunroom to wait for William. He greeted her with a smile and assured her to come to him.

“You look wonderful today, did you styled your hair alone?” He asked. She responded with an energetic nod, “Yep! Mommy taught me how to tie my hair!”

After waiting for Albert and Louis to get ready with their children, the Moriarty family got inside the carriage to head to the flower field that the children love so much.

The brothers had noticed that their children never really wanted toys. They enjoyed spending time together and engaging conversations with people outside. They were shy, but with their own wishes to explore the public, they are more comfortable to talk to the people on the streets.

The public who recognized them as the Moriarty children, complimented them for their kindness and politeness. The children even made friends with the commoners’ children.

The brothers and their wives couldn’t be more happier than that.

As soon as they arrived at the flower field, Wilhelmina and her cousins ran out of the carriage and started to run around the field.

“Come on, (c/n)! Lets go collect flowers!” Little Mina cheered. Her cousins agreed and started to pick out flowers to bring back home.

About an hour of picking flowers, the children return to their fathers’ sides. Mina sat beside her father and showed him the different types of flowers she got. She had collected daisies, roses, red chrysanthemums and iris. She had also collected smaller flowers well.

William was amazed that his daughter being so knowledgeable about flowers. Fred and Jack must have thought her about the beauty of nature.

He listened to her talking about the flowers she got for her mother. Suddenly, she pulled out pink and white tulips and handed it to him,

“This is for you, daddy~”

William looked at her to the flower in her hands, he couldn’t help but to give her a warm smile. He pulled her into his arms and said to her, “Thank you, sweetheart.. But do you know the meanings to these flowers?”

“Hmm… I’m not too sure… But I do think they suit you!” She replied innocently.

The man chuckled and explained to her, “Pink tulips shows a symbol of caring, attachment and good wishes. White tulips, on the other hand, represents purity, innocence, forgiveness and respect.”

He noticed how her matching ruby eyes shined. The little girl then hugged him tightly, “Then, these flowers are my feelings to you, daddy!”

“Thank you again, dear.”

Later that evening, little Mina and her cousins were tired from playing around the field and making flower crowns. They slept throughout their ride home. The brothers carried their children in their arms, Albert having to carry his twins one in his arms, the other hanging on his back.

They were greeted by Jack and were ushered inside.

“Your wives have returned, Masters.”

“Thank you, Jack, you can leave us now.” Albert said with a smile.

The men entered the sunroom, being greeted by the three women laughing out loud in their conversation. Albert’s wife looked up and chuckled at the sight of her husband,

“Oh dear. Let me hold one of them,” She went up to him and took her child that was hanging on his back.

William took his spot beside you, still holding your little girl in his arms. You caressed your daughter’s hair and your eyes travelled to the bouquet William had placed on the table.

“Oh? What is this?” You asked your husband.

“Just a souvenir from the field,”

You chuckled at his simple answer. You decided to wait for your daughter to wake up from her slumber. About an hour after William’s return, Mina finally woke up. Her blond hair now messed up after tossing and turning between you and your husband.

The girl gave you a tiny sleepy smile upon seeing you. You caressed her hair, making it tidy and proper. The little girl’s ruby eyes suddenly brightened up as she remembered about the flowers.

“Ah! Mommy! I brought you flowers from the field!”

You showed her the beautifully arranged flowers in a vase. While the children were asleep, you and your sisters in law arranged the flowers into separate vases. Mina’s eyes shined as she saw the arrangements. The flowers she and her cousins had collected were now beautifully arranged.

She then looked at you with eyes full of hope, “Do you like them, mommy? I picked them with my cousins!”

You pulled her into your arms and smushing and rubbing her cheeks with yours lovingly, hearing her laugh happily, “Of course, I like it! I love it so much, dear! Thank you, my baby.”

William smiled at the sight of you and little Mina. He never expected to eventually build a family with you, but after you told him that you were pregnant, he started to feel confused and unsure of his choices. A part of him wanted to stay with the plan, the other part wants to stay and be with you and the baby.

Nevertheless, he was thankful to be alive. Being able to see your smile, to watch Mina grow up into a wonderful young lady.

'I promise, I’ll always be with you and our baby girl. I’ll raise her to be a good young lady that we always wish her to be.’

Was what he promised you, and he never broke the promise. His attention averts to your question to your daughter, “Did you have fun with daddy?”

Wilhelmina nodded happily, “Yep! But I hope mommy would come along with us too!”

You and your daughter laughed together in William’s arms. The man chuckled and said, “I had a good day with you too, sweetie.”

Throughout dinner time, the children talked about their day with their fathers. You listened along with the adults, asking them questions at times. It was hard, but listening to the children talk and laugh happily and innocently, made your hearts warm.

~~~~~~

I think I went overboard for this as it took me about 2 weeks to write. I just can’t help but to keep on writing family fics. Its too precious and lovely.

Do You Forgive Me?

Sequel to - Welcome Home
William x wifey! Reader
You and William have a daughter whose name is Wilhelmina.
Takes place 12 years later.
Wilhelmina’s age: 15 years old

~~~~~
It was a wonderful day when you heard the voice belonging to Jack greeting your now 15 years old daughter,

“Welcome home, Mina dear.”

You saw her giving him a hug as she had always done as a child. A smile visible on her face, “I’m home, grandpa. Is mommy home?”

“I’m here, honey.” You made yourself visible. Her ruby eyes brightened a little. You saw worry and sadness in her eyes. She released herself from Jack’s embrace and came into your arms. You caressed her hair gently and asked,

“What’s wrong? Did something happened at school?”

Wilhelmina shook her head, “No… nothing much. Can we sit down and have some tea together?”

“Of course, go and freshen yourself up. I’ll be waiting at the balcony.” You ushered her into her room and let her cool off while you prepared tea and some treats to lift her spirits.

As you were preparing tea, Louis came into the kitchen. You turned around and greeted your brother in law with a smile, “Welcome home, Louis. Would you like a cup of tea?”

Louis returned a kind smile and nodded, “Yes, please.” He then looked at your preparations and asked, “Does Mina has some problems at school? She’d ask for you to sit with her for a cup of tea whenever she does.”

You shrugged, “Maybe… She looks even down today. It seems that she may have had found out something…”

Both you and Louis felt a bit uneasy, it’s possible that she may have found out about William’s past when she was a baby. Her father was the well known Lord of Crime. Despite her welcoming him back home with open arms and smiles, she never knew what and why he was gone.

Louis offered to help you carry the tray of goods but you declined, telling him to go and rest after a day at work. You wanted to talk to your daughter alone and give her comfort before William comes home from work.

After returning, he went into hiding before trying to get a new job with the help of Sherlock and Watson. With his skills, he often works with Scotland Yard. Otherwise, he offers tuition lessons and a psychological consultant.

It was hard, people couldn’t trust him as easily. But seeing how much he has changed, people slowly came to put trust in him. You were proud of your husband. His perspective towards life changed, he showed his true self, he even smiled more than he had before your marriage.

He became a loving and caring father to Wilhelmina. Always the first one to react and tend to her needs. He assisted her with her studies and her problems. But sometimes, there are things she’d rather talk it out with you.

Like today.

You arrived at the balcony, hearing her hum a new song. Maybe a new tune she had thought about?

“Is that a new song you’re humming?” You asked her as you placed the tray down.

She stopped humming and nodded, “It’s a song that I think.. Suits daddy’s situation during his earlier life.”

You raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean, honey? Did you find out about something?” She nod her head and look up into your (e/c) eyes, “Mommy, please tell me the truth.

Was daddy really the Lord of Crime?”

You knew it, but you couldn’t hide this from her.

“Yes, dear. That’s true. Where did you find out about this?”
“I read it in an old newspaper that was kept in the library. I happened to look for some content for my class work, but I came across that news.”

You nodded, showing her that you understood her situation. You observed her slow movements as she drank her cup of Lavender tea. She took it calmly than what you had expected. You sighed, gaining her attention,

“Would you like to talk about this with your father? I’m sure he’ll tell you everything.”

That night, Wilhelmina was quiet throughout dinner time. Albert and Louis caught up with their niece’s concerns. They understood, of course they would. What child would not be upset? Like you, they’d rather have William talk about it with her.

After dinner, you were inside your husband’s office. Watching him doing his work peacefully. Seeing him stretch his arms out and let out a tired groan, you walked up to him and gave him a little massage on his shoulders.

“What seems to be in your mind, darling?”

Ah. Of course he’ll know.

You told him everything about what Wilhelmina had found out at school. William sighed and gave you a sad smile, “She deserves to know. I’d rather tell her than she finding out from false sources.”

You agreed, “Well then, I’ll be off to bed first. Mina is in her study room if you want to talk to her.” You gave him a kiss on his lips before walking out of his office.

‘I hope she’ll forgive him…’ you thought.

William watched your figure heading to your shared bedroom. He then decided to stop his work for the night and settle with his daughter’s lingering and curious thoughts about him.

~ “May all the beauty be blessed~” ~

He heard his daughter singing upon entering her study room. She stopped singing as he finally appeared in her vision. Wilhelmina gave him a sad smile. She placed her pen down and sat at the couch inside her study room.

“Come, daddy. Sit with me for a bit.”

He went to her side and wrapped an arm around her petite body. She felt the familiar warmth that she had always yearned as a toddler. She snuggled into his chest and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me…?”

“You were too young and innocent to know about my bad deeds.”

Her hand crumbled a part of his shirt, “Did you know… how much I cried for you? Did you know how much I yearned for your love? You were gone for 3 years of my life. People implanted the fact of you being dead when you were absent.”

“When I asked uncle Louis or uncle Albert about you, they refused to tell me. When I asked mommy, she would only say that you were a great man. But what is this? You were a killer… You killed people, you hid your tracks so perfectly… And yet… Yet.. Because of Mr. Sherlock…You-”

“Don’t blame Sherlock about this. He saved me, had he not jumped to save me, I would’ve really be gone from this world.”

“But if he hadn’t killed Milverton, you wouldn’t be exposed!” She exclaimed, tears filling in her ruby eyes. William could see the sadness in her eyes.

“Mina, do you want to know why I did those things?” He asked her calmly. His larger hand placed on the back of her head, making her look up to him.

She nodded. William smiled and told her everything. She listened intently, asking questions from time to time. He was happy to answer her. Slowly, she felt calmer and assured. Had she searched for answers on her own, she would be filled with false accusations.

Leaning on her father’s chest, she started to sing,

~ “Wave goodbye to the past when hope and faith
Have grown so strong and sound
Unfold this pair of wings for me again
To soar above this world
Turned into a moon that always tells the warmth
And brightness of the sun
May all the beauty be blessed
May all the beauty be blessed” ~

William listened to her, her voice is just as enchanting as yours. His dear wife. He tightened his hold on his daughter and whispered in her ear,

“Do you forgive me?”

Mina nodded, she then look up into his visible red eye,

“You’re my father, of course I’ll forgive you.”

William couldn’t hide his bright smile and planted a kiss on her forehead, “Thank you, my dear.”

Unbeknownst to the father-daughter pair, a pair of (e/c) eyes watched them. You had a warm smile on your face. You heard your daughter’s song too. It was beautiful.

Knowing that they will be fine, you returned to your room once again.

The next morning, it was a holiday. Holiday means, family moments. You sat down with William as the two of you watched your dear daughter running around with her cousins. Feeling the beautiful breeze and cool wind blowing on your cheeks, the leaves blown beautifully by the wind. It was indeed a beautiful day.

A beautiful day to be spent with your wonderful family.

Looking up at your husband, you caught him off guard by kissing his cheek. He looked down into your eyes, no words being exchanged. Peaceful silence between the two of you.

Your daughter’s laughter could be heard in the distance, the two of you watched her as her beautiful long blond hair and casual dress flowing along as she danced around the field with her cousins, singing the familiar song;

A shoulder for the past
Let out the cries imprisoned for so long
A pair of wings for me at this moment
To soar above this world
Turn into a shooting star
That briefly shines but warms up every heart
May all the beauty be blessed
May all the beauty be blessed

I will never go
There’s a way back home
Brighter than tomorrow and yesterday
May all the beauty be blessed

Wave goodbye to the past when hope and faith
Have grown so strong and sound
(Have grown so strong and sound)
Unfold this pair of wings for me again
To soar above this world (soar above this world)
Turned into a moon that always tells the warmth
And brightness of the sun (and brightness of the sun)
May all the beauty be blessed
May all the beauty be blessed

Warm smiles were plastered on both yours and William’s faces, love for your daughter raises non stop.

'Indeed the beauty will be blessed…’

'We love you, dear Mina.’

William x wifey reader
Reader is assumed to be from Germany.

~~~

It was a peaceful day, though you can’t help but feel a little empty without your beloved husband. He had left you and your daughter. The day he purposely fell off the bridge will never be forgotten. 

‘Why…?’

‘You were so happy when I told you that I was pregnant…’ 

Thoughts flooded in your mind until you heard your daughter calling for you, “Mommy! Mommy! Uncle Louis is calling for you!”

You snapped out from your thoughts and looked up. You saw the blond man with your dear daughter. You then slowly stood up and walked towards him. Louis gave you a sweet smile and leaned down to whisper in your ear, 

“Brother William is alive. He’s here.” 

You felt tears forming in your eyes. A smile slowly crept up on your delicate face. You then kneeled down to your daughter’s height and held her shoulders,

“Mina dear, there’s someone I want you to meet.” 

A big smile formed on her face, resembling William when he was younger. You could never forget his smile, his warmth, his kindness, everything about him. Her shining ruby eyes brightened even more when she got excited, just like her father.

You then held her small hand, Louis following behind. He wondered,

‘how would she feel when she meets her father…?’

Upon entering the manor, the three of you were greeted by Jack. Your dear daughter wrapped her arms around the old man’s legs, “Grandpa Jack! Who am I meeting today?” 

Jack lifted her up in his arms and grinned, “You’ll see soon, dearie. It’s someone you will love very much.” 

You smiled at their interaction, you didn’t have much to thank the butler for caring for your mischievous and active little girl. You tried to repay him by helping him out, but he caught up with your intentions, 

“It’s fine, really. Wilhelmina is like my granddaughter that I never had.” Was what he said.

Jack placed Wilhelmina down and opened the door to the sunroom. Your eyes landed on your beloved man. His beautiful ruby eyes met your (e/c). His warm smile crept up and opened his arms to you. Without hesitation, you ran into his arms. Tears finally fell from your face, 

“William! You’re back!” Your arms tightened around his torso. You pressed your ear on his chest, on where his heart is. Listening to his heartbeat confirms his presence. You felt his hand caressing  your hair, his lips pressed a kiss on the crown of your head. 

“I’m home, darling.” 

Wilhelmina stared at you and William curiously. She had a feeling she knew the tall blond man hugging her mother, but she couldn’t tell. Wilhelmina hasn’t exactly met her father as she was still an infant, and she had never seen pictures of him. Her grandpa Jack only telling her to just look at uncle Louis to know what her father looks like.

“Just look at your uncle Louis, if his forehead is hidden, that’s what your father looks like.” 

“Eh… Really…?”

Your little Mina pulled on your dress, you looked down and saw curiosity in her eyes. You smiled and lifted her up in your arms, her eyes meeting a matching ruby ones with hers. Her head tilted slightly and turned to you, 

“Mommy, who is this?” 

William felt his heart clenched, of course she wouldn’t remember him. But he still had a smile on his face. He placed a hand on her head, making her turn to look at him, 

“I’m your father, dear Mina.” 

The three years old girl took a moment to take the new information in. She looked at your husband and her father. She then reached out to him, 

“Welcome home, daddy~” 

A smile plastered on her face, William took her from your arms. He placed kisses on her face. You saw tears drip down from his eye. 

You pulled your husband and daughter in your embrace, caressing both of their soft blond locks. You were more than happy to finally be a normal family and even more happier to have William back in your arms. Your dear daughter finally has a father to look up to, she may find out what he had done in the past, but you can vouch that she is more than willing to forgive her father.

You knew that the moment she reached out to him, calling him ‘daddy’ the first time, she had already accepted him. Back when she finally learned how to talk, you knew that she will ask for him. You heard her asking the men about her father.

Louis was reluctant to tell her about her father, but you had assured your brother-in-law that it’s fine. At least, telling her what’s her father’s name. Like 
William, she’s a fast learner. Another trait she got from him. She learned that her name was somewhat the feminine version of his name.

“Mommy, why is my name so long and hard to pronounce?” She asked you as she played with your hands. 

You couldn’t help but giggle as you listen to her trying to pronounce her name. You then hugged her tightly in your arms, “Well honey, your name is derived from my homeland, it’s also the feminine version of your father’s name.” 

“Mommy and daddy wants you to have the strong will to protect the things and people you love.”

That night, Wilhelmina didn’t want to leave you and William. Insisting that she wants to be with her parents. The two of you couldn’t resist it and granted her wishes. 

Seeing her tugging on William’s shirt made you swoon. You caressed her soft hair and said, “She was always asking about you.”

“Really?”

“Yes, throughout her early days, she only knew your name. But has never seen a photo of you. It’s a surprise that she was more than ready to accept you into her life.”

William chuckled, “I assume that you’ve told her about me?”

“Of course I did. It hurts, but she deserves to know about her handsome father.” You smirked and planted a kiss on his lips.  

He gave you his signature smile in return and pulled you closer into his arms, “I’m home now, and I’ll always be here.”

The two of you felt a slight movement from your daughter, she then whispered in her sleep,

“I love you, mommy and daddy.”

“We love you too, dear.”

I destroyed myself with this.
