Never Grow Up
Happy Birthday, Kylee
I got up bright and early to get the house ready for Kylee's birthday party. I cleaned and decorated every part of the house the party was going to be held in. I wanted this to be the best birthday Kylee was going to have. She only gets to turn five once, so I was going make her really happy.
The only grey cloud on this day was that today was the anniversary of her death. I missed her everyday, but I found a way to move on past my grief and found someone that was going to make me happy. Jasmin made me find love again. I was so in love with her and I was excited to tell Kylee Jasmin and I were getting married. I hope she'll be alright with it.
"Daddy," Kylee greeted me as she walked into the kitchen for her birthday breakfast.
"Good morning, birthday girl," I greeted her, "I made you chocolate chip pancakes, your favorite."
"Thank you, Daddy," she replied, "Are we going to visit Mommy tonight?"
"Yeah we will," I told her, "But after your party."
The party was in full swing. Kylee was running around the yard with Jack. Jasmin was at my side as we talked with my parents and Matt. Rian and Zack handled grilling the food up and Vinny organized the gift table. Everything was going according to plan.
"I think we should break the news to everyone, including Kylee," Jasmin whispered in my ear.
"What about the rest of Kylee's party. It's her day," I asked her.
"I bet she'll be happy to know I'll be in her life always," Jasmin smiled.
"Okay everyone, Jasmin and I have something we want to tell you," I got everyone's attention, even Kylee's, "Jasmin and I are engaged. We're going to get married."
"What," Kylee screamed.
"Kylee," I called as she ran inside.
I chased after Kylee up to her room.
"How could you Daddy? What about Mommy," she cried as I walked into her room.
"Kylee, Jasmin isn't replacing your mom. She's going to be your step-mom. She'll be your second mom. She won't be as good as your mom. I've been really sad since your mom died, Kylee. I want to be happy again. Your mom would understand," I told her.
"But I don't," she sobbed.
"I know, but can you be happy for me, sweetheart," I stroked her hair, "You know, I wasn't ready to be your daddy, but I made a promise to your mom I would be there for you. But I just need a little help, and Jasmin agreed to marry me because she loves you. She wants to help me keep you safe."
"So Jasmin will be my step-mommy," Kylee asked.
"If you'll let me," Jasmin said from the doorway.
"Make Daddy happy, Jasmin," Kylee jumped from her bed and hugged Jasmin tightly.
Kylee enjoyed the rest of her party. She was very happy with how her party went. Right now, Kylee and I were in the cemetery where Kylee's mom was buried. Once we arrived to her plot, Kylee laid down the white lilies we bought for her next to her headstone.
"We miss you," I said as I knelt down and touched her headstone, "I wish you were still here, Kelsey."

I just read what you have of this, and absolutely love it. I'm not sure if that last chapter you posted was kind of meant as a final chapter; I guess it could work in a way. But the story is awesome and I really liked what you have of it.
It's been a minute since you've updated, so it's probably asking a lot to update again, but if you weren't finished with this and one day want to update again, I will be here to read. :) Although as it is it could be seen as conclusive.
Idk, but I just wanted to leave this comment letting you know I enjoyed what you did have of this and think you're a great writer. The story is very sweet. :)
