Third Person POV

Brielle finished putting her hair in ponytail and sighed as she looked into the mirror. Today was Delilah's big day and everything needed to be perfect... In Killian's mind for that matter. She was slowly growing to hate the beautiful man even more than she did and now she truly wondered if it was healthy how acshe had him constantly on her mind.

She didn't know why these emotions were getting the best of her and she knew she had to find a way to control them. Getting up she walked over to her bed and started getting her purse ready. She heard a knock on the door and she looked up to see Killian leaning against her door frame in a burgundy suit looking over dressed as always.

" You and these suit colors never seize to amaze me. " She said pulling on her boots and he chuckled at her.

" It's a special occasion. Black and navy blue would never do at a princess party. " She smiled at his antics and stood up walking to her bathroom to finish up while Killian kept his eyes trained on her.

" God you look gorgeous " He said lowly and she walked out shrugging her shoulders.

" I don't think I look appropriate for a princess party though. Maybe an aunt trying to get everything together for said princess before she loses it " He gave a small chuckle before watching her as she continued to roam around the room. Eventually he felt his eyes dilate and his throat become dry by just watching her. He was still completely in shock of how he managed to keep his control since the moment he met her.

" Brielle.. " He said and she turned her head to look at him as she hummed. He made a 'come here' motion with his finger and she bit her lip as she saw the lustful look in his eyes. She made her way over to him and once she was in arms length, he pulled her to him and pressed his lips against hers. She moaned softly and clutched his jacket in her fist as an automatic reflex. Before things got out of hand she pulled away and he smirked looking down at her.

" I find it cute how you wear heels to try and look taller. " She shrugged and pulled away from him.

" Well I'm trying to fit into society without looking like I'm still in 9th grader " She walked back to her bed and grabbed her things.

" Everything is planned so where are you off to now? " He asked her as she walked past him to go down the stairs.

" Well, your party planner asked if I could help her as she busy trying to get actual disney world princesses to arrive by 2 and I agreed to do so. I'm off to pick up the gowns, tiaras and flower crowns at your stylists tailoring rooms because ALL of them are getting Delilah's princess dress and tiara done. I'm trying to balance all of this and the 6 reports you gave me to do by Monday " She turned to looked at Killian who looked unfazed by her little rant and she placed her hands on her hip as she continued.

" Do you see how.. all of this has a connection to you? It's more than a connection though but I'm sure you already know that your the cause of all my problems. " As hard as it was, Killian decided to keep quiet. The look on her face screamed anger and he didn't feel like making her even more angry.

" Blaine is going to be here to wake up Delilah and get her started for the day.. so he's your ride since I'm taking George. "

" And why is Blaine responsible for the simple task of waking Delilah? "

" Because Benjamin is busy with the decorators at the ballroom, Reginald and Leo won't be here for another hour or so.. And I'm giving you time to relax before you go off on.. well everyone for things not being perfect. " He nodded his head.

" You're right I do need a little time to relax. " Brielle smiled and placed her white bluetooth in her ear.

" Let my baby know I'll be seeing her in a little bit and please... try not to go insane. "

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

" Did I ask why we couldn't get the floors done in rose gold? I think not. You have 25 minutes to do something that will make that floor shimmer and if it doesn't I will ruin you " Killian seethed as he pushed the man out of the room and slammed the door shut. He and Blaine were in one of the many rooms waiting for his stylist's to finish getting Delilah who was very confused when she entered the beautiful building from the back entrance. Killian intended to keep it all a secret until Brielle returned.

" You know Kiki I advise you actually go out there instead of waiting for more problems to occur. " Killian shook his head as he looked over Blaine's attire. If Brielle thought he was over dressed, then she wouldn't be ready for Blaine who was dressed in a full light pink suit fitting the princess theme perfectly.

" No need Benjamin is out there coordinating everything with Reginald. "

" I don't really think those two get along. "

" Why do you say that? "

" I mean come on Killian. They're brothers. They must've had some kind of beef while they were in the womb. " Killian rolled his eyes at Blaine.

" You're delusional. " Blaine shrugged his shoulders as he sat back in his chair.

" Just a theory " Killian was about to speak once but he heard voices down the hall.

" Well how many trips do you actually want me to make to the car? "

" As many trips as it takes for you to bring everything in. "

" You're ridiculous for buying this much stuff you know "

" I'll spoil my granddaughter as much I want you old man " Blaine and Killian looked over to each other before walking over to the door and opening it. They stepped into the hall and watched as an older man and woman were walking towards them. The woman had a few bags in her hand as the man had a oversized bear bigger than him over his shoulder. The woman gasped as she saw Killian and the man sighed once she dropped the bags and went over to him.

" Hello, you must be Killian. " She said smiling extending her hand and Killian nodded and spoke as he shook her's.

" I don't believe we've met before "

" I'm Madam Alexandrova, Madam A for short and that old man over their is known as Mr. Burkley or Burky for short. " Killian nodded his head once again as he recognized the names and spoke once more.

" Well it's a pleasure to have you here and this is Blaine Porter. A uh.. friend of mine " Blaine looked over to Killian offended and Madam A laughed lightly.

" Well it's a pleasure to meet the both of you as well. Come along Burky. Let's leave these two gentlemen in peace. " Mr. Burkley picked up the bags and groaned as he followed Madam A to the ballroom.

Blaine chuckled " They seem like a happy couple " Killian paid no attention to his playful friend as he read the message he'd just recieved.

Lockewood: You haven't given me a direct answer yet Killian. I'm sure you're smart enough to make conscense decisions without any help.. Remember to keep me in mind.

Looking up at Blaine he spoke. " Keep a close eye out for Calvin's men or the man himself. I have security already around the building but I don't know if he has any tricks up his sleeve. " Blaine crossed his arms and walked closer to Killian.

" You're not thinking of giving in to his plan are you? "

" Of course not. That's idiotic. "

" And I'm also assuming you won't be telling Brielle anytime soon.. " Killian sighed.

" She has night terrors about her family coming back into her life to ruin it. I haven't heard her have one in a while. Either she's stopped for the time being or she's extremely good at hiding it. "

" Well you need to do something and fast. Who knows what that idiot is planning on doing next.. " Killian nodded and Blaine spoke once again.

" Did you see that shit? " He said and Killian looked down the hall and shrugged.

" What are you talking about? " Blaine shushed him quickly and held his hand in the air.

" Silence... " He whispered and then all of a sudden they heard a fit of giggles and the pitter patter of feet. They walked toward the end of the hall quickly and tilted their heads as they analyzed the scene before them. They watch as girls who truly resemble little princesses twirled and leap along the hallways as their giggles filled the air.

" Do you see this magical shit? " Blaine whispered and they heard the door shut and a loud sigh.

" It took a very long time to get those magical creatures ready. " Said a voice and they turned to see Brielle walking in looking exhausted. She walked over to them and before Killian could unwillingly pull her towards him, she rested her head on his chest.

" I'm exhausted.. " She whined and he wrapped his arm around her waist completely ignoring Blaine's presence.

" Are you now? " Killian asked and she nodded her head

" I was only able to get one report done and I know I'm going to be drained tonight. "

" You could always get a few days off.. " He said pushing a stray hair out of her face.

She shook her head " I don't need anymore favoritism here.. now, where's my baby? "

" She's in the back room. She should be all done by now. " Brielle nodded her head and walked away. Killian looked over to Blaine who had his jaw dropped and his eyes were wide as saucers. He collected himself and chuckled as he shook his head at Killian.

" Oh Kiki... she totally has you whipped man. " Killian rolled his eyes and walked away from Blaine. He wasn't going to give him a response because 1) his friend really didn't deserve one and 2) he wasn't sure if he believed that he actually wasn't.

Brielle knocked on the door softly and opened the door. Delilah sat in a white chair playing on her phone getting the finishing touches on her hair and she looked up and gasped when saw Brielle. She got off the chair with much effort and ran

" BRIBRI BRIBRI BRIBRI!!!! " She screamed happily and Brielle caught the little girl stumbling in the process.

" Happy birthday baby! "

" Thank you, thank you, thank you! " She screamed once again and Brielle placed her finger over her mouth.

" Inside voices baby.. " Delilah made an O shape with her mouth and nodded her head. Brielle saw movement in the back and she looked up and saw three men and two women standing with a smile on their faces but their eyes held fear.

" Hello Ms. Newman. We hope her attire is to your liking.. " One of the men said and Brielle stood up.

" Give me a twirl baby. " Delilah spinned in a circle and Brielle clapped her hands.

" It's perfect. She looks absolutely beautiful. " She loved the way her hair fell down her shoulders in beach waves instead of messy curls and how the flowers at the bottom of her dress complemented the ones sprinkled on top along with the gold bow at the back.

The stylists shoulders relaxed and Brielle could tell they felt slightly better but they were still a little tense. She looked behind her to see Killian standing glaring holes into the stylists as if daring them to do.. well anything. Brielle sighed and grabbed Delilah's hand.

Killian looked down to his phone and nodded his head " Come along.. everything is ready " He said as he and Blaine walked out the door. Brielle followed and Delilah looked up at her.

" What's ready? " Delilah asked and Brielle smiled as she wasn't sure what to expect either.

" You'll see Dede. " She giggled happily as they reached the end of the hall which had a huge bow on both sides of the door. Brielle covered Delilah's eyes who in return squealed softly. The doors were opened and Brielle slowly walked Delilah in. Everyone in the room went quiet and smiled when they saw the two.

" Ready baby? " Brielle whispered.

" Y-yeah "

" Ok... 1, 2, 3! " She removed her hand and Delilah placed both hands over her mouth.

" Surprise!! " Everybody yelled and she remained still as she looked at everyone. It was every little girl's dream filled with flowers, pink and all things glitter. From the ceiling to the ground the detail was all there. Benjamin and Reginald stepped into view and Benjamin cleared his throat.

" That's not all Ms. Newman, Reginald. " He turned to Reginald who clapped twice and everyone looked to the side of the room as the door opened and in walked actual life like disney princesses. Delilah looked over to them slowly and she couldn't help the tears that came to her eyes and the few the fell down her cheek. She turned to Brielle slowly and put her hands down. Immediately seeing something was wrong, Brielle crouched down and held her small hands.

" I-Is this party.. for me? " Delilah said softly as her voice quivered.

" Of course it is baby " Brielle responded.

" ... Why? " Delilah asked and Brielle chuckled as she wiped a few of Delilah's tears away.

" Because it's your birthday baby. "

" ... Really? " She asked once again as if she wasn't sure.

" Yes baby, really " Delilah's eyes created even more tears and she hugged Brielle with her tiny arms.

" T-thank you " She said with a slight hiccup and everyone in the room awed. Brielle kept in her tears and grinned as she hugged her back.

" You should really be telling Killy thank you. " She pulled away from Brielle and walked over to Killian as she held her arms out and latched onto his leg.

" T-thank you Killy " Killian smiled as he pet her hair softly. He was trying to mask the fact that he didn't really know what to do at this point as he'd never seen the little girl cry.

" You're welcome sweetheart. No need to cry " Everyone in the room laughed with him and the disney princess Aurora walked over to the small girl with a crown in her hand. Crouching down she tapped the little girl's shoulder twice and Delilah looked up.

" Sleeping beauty? " She said softly and the woman gave a magical giggle.

" I think this belongs to you. " She said as she placed the crown on Delilah's head who giggled in return. Madam A walked over to Brielle who was now standing and had a small tear roll down her cheek.

" Even though you don't probably don't think you did.. you raised that beautiful girl the right way. "

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Brielle walked outside the building for some fresh air and sighed as she sat on the expensive marble steps. She looked off into the city and sighed as she roamed her thoughts. She was happy her little baby could have the party of her dreams and from the look on her face, she didn't believe it was her party at all.

She was happy that Delilah was able to experience this but she was upset because once again, Killian was responsible for it. He was responsible for almost everything in their lives and she didn't want Delilah to get too used to it as she didn't know how long it would last. She felt like she needed to enjoy it as well but she couldn't. It was hard to accept this much help or money or lifestyle from someone at one time.

After bringing herself back to reality she noticed someone standing by the stairs in a hoodie facing the side. She could hear he was mumbling as if he was having a fight with someone but she thought nothing of it as she called out to him.

" Hi... is everything ok? " She said and the man froze.

" Everything is... fine " He said and she immediately recognized his voice.

" You know, if your trying to stalk me, you aren't doing a very good job. " The man smirked and shook his head.

" The first time we met we bumped into each other, the next time you sat at my table.. If anything you may be stalking me. "

" Not true. " Brielle smiled and the man shrugged.

" If you say so.... you look pretty down. "

" Not down... I'm mainly happy. "

" I wish I was still happy. " He whispered and Brielle spoke which made him jump.

" Why aren't you happy... If that's too personal I understand. "

" ... When you're gone for so long.. your only family starts to forget you. They grow older, find new people to love.. and eventually, you just become a memory. And no matter how much you've tried to come back, no matter how much you've tried to get into that person's life again.. there's always that person or voice that says your not worth their time anymore or it's best if you stay away because of some.. issues. Eventually I plan on becoming happy once again.. I just need a little more time and help before go back to them.. " Brielle nodded her head as she listened to him. She heard someone open the door and call for her. She noticed it was one of the girls from the studio and she let her know she'd be in in a second.

She looked back to the direction of the man but once again.. he was gone.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Brielle moved the hair from Delilah's face as she laid in bed with sleepy eyes.

" Did you enjoy your day baby? " Brielle asked and she nodded.

" It was the bestest... but Bribri " Brielle hummed and Delilah opened her eyes even more.

" Why didn't uncle Eugene call? He always called on my birthdays.. " Brielle breath hitched and she looked over her shoulder as she saw Killian leaning on the doorway.

" Baby.. Uncle Eugene is.. very busy right now but he told me to tell you happy birthday. " Delilah smiled and her eyes started closing.

" I like the princesses "

" Did you now? " Brielle responded and Delilah nodded sleepily.

" I want them all to visit again.. "

" ... I'm sure Killy will be able to make that happen and that's a promise. " Delilah smiled and Brielle tucked her in.

" Now you tell me all about what your favorite part of yesterday was. Right now, it's time to get some rest.. " Delilah's eyes were already closed fully and Brielle gave her forehead a kiss before whispering.

" I love you Dede " She got up slowly and made her way to the do where Killian pulled her to him and pulled Delilah's door so there was just a crack. After a few seconds Delilah opened her eyes and watched as Brielle and Killian walked away from the shadow underneath the door. Replaying in her head what Brielle told her, she spoke softly.

" ..I love you too mommy "
