Rating: G

Summary: Creeping on the balls of his feet…

Bobby Goren couldn't sleep. He couldn't calm his restless mind for the first time in years. The reassuring weight of Alex Eames in bed next to him wasn't enough to settle whatever was nagging at him.

As quietly as he could he slipped out of bed and left Alex to her dreams. Creeping on the balls of his feet he made his way across the hall to the other room in the small apartment.

Still as quietly as possible he crossed the room and stood over its sole occupant. Looking down he was overwhelmed by a sense of responsibility and love.

"I don't know if I can give you…what you need. I don't know how, no…no one's ever shown me how. I'll try, I promise that I'll try my best," He whispered, reaching out a single finger to touch his son's head, "I promised to do everything I can to make your childhood better than mine."
