Weak in the Knees Ch. 05

... Zack laughed weakly. "You must really like that tiny warrior princess or something."

Diego colored a little. "I couldn't love her more if I was her biological father," he said almost too quietly for Zach to hear.

Zach couldn't help but smile at that. "Well, that's probably good because I can't imagine how she'll react when she sees me. She might not leave your arms for a bit."

Diego frowned at Zach. "I doubt she will reject her daddy. She might look at you funny for a bit, but she finds so much comfort in you."

Zach ran his fingers gently along his lip, which was already swelling up a bit. "You might be right, but I don't imagine she'll react well to her daddy looking like this either. It's not like she saw it all happen, which I'm glad for."

Diego paled as he considered that, "Yeah, me too."

Zach frowned and got a far away look. "I don't think Daniel would have cared if she had been present for any of that. He doesn't care about anyone but himself."

Diego's expression said a great deal about his opinion of Daniel. Zach took Diego's hand, smiling a little as he took in that expression, thinking that Diego was smarter about Daniel than any of them. For all Zach had said about Zayne being too soft on the man, Zach had fallen into some nostalgia too. Daniel wasn't who he used to be though, and that was clear now.

She told them to use ice on his face to bring swelling down, and what to look out for as signs of infection or concussion and when to come back. Once she had Zach sign the paperwork, she let them go home.

Nadya was awake and sitting in Zayne's lap as he made spaghetti for dinner. She looked over with a big grin when they first walked in, but then she saw her dad's face and her face dropped. She started yelling out the word no over and over as Zayne turned to try and see what was wrong.

"Dada, no!" she cried.

"Shhh, daddy just got hurt but he's gonna be okay," Zayne murmured to her as she looked at her dad with a pout, holding onto Zayne tightly. "It's still daddy."

Zach knelt down in front of where she was sitting and looked at her with what felt like a smile though he was swollen so he couldn't be sure it translated well. "It's just me, Princess. Daddy just...had a bit of an accident. But it's still me under here."

Nadya slipped off her uncle's lap and carefully toddled over to where her dad was kneeling. She looked over his face with an expression that spoke to how unhappy she was with this development but then she started to pet Zach's shoulder to make sure he was okay. Her expression was one of worry as she said "dada" a few times like she was checking that he was ...
