Howdy! I decided to write this fanfic because well
I lust over Seth a lot. And I always have these ideas in my head. So I thought, why not?
My editor is the lovely inspieos, who I just met yesterday. Love her already!
Enjoy!
Honey, please stop worrying." Jaylnn said to Seth, resting a reassuring hand on his tense shoulders. He stayed in a trance, staring at the wall.
"How can you be so calm?" He whispered with a slight hitch to his voice.
"Because, if I'm not then this place would be a mess." She teased, before continuing on. "Plus, if you worry over everything, you'd have no happiness left." Jaylnn had been trying to cheer him up for the past hour after putting their daughter down for a nap. Seth had stayed locked up in his study, trying to clear his head.
He turned to look at his wife, who stood behind him. Her brown hair was put up into a soft , loose hanging bun. Her green eyes shined bright with love. Upon further analysis, her lack of sleep became present. Deep bags hung under her eyes. Her lips were chapped. She seemed to be falling apart.
He placed his hand over hers, squeezing it slightly.
"I'm scared." He muttered.
"I know. I am too." Jaylnn said, moving herself towards him, sitting on his lap, wrapping on arm around his neck. She stared into his worried eyes, gently caressing his cheek.
"Please don't worry." She said hoping to comfort him in some way. He placed a hand at the small of her back, pulling her closer to him. Their foreheads touched, her nose rubbed gently against his.
"I can't lose her."
"Shh, shh." Jaylnn said, silencing him as she closed her sleepy eyes.
"Don't think like that. Think about the now. That's all that matters." He didn't reply, holding her closer, as though he feared she would leave. No, not leave, disappear. He needed her now more than ever. Just a few years ago his mother had passed away from a losing battle to cancer. She told him not to worry; She'd be fine.
But she wasn't fine. She left him heartbroken, scared, and torn apart.
And he was about to relive all of that. His daughter, only 2 years old, faced a terrible life threatening sickness. Cancer.
Seth never expected this to happen. Not his beloved, Sophia. She was his. She wasn't going to die. She wasn't going to leave. She was going to stay right here, with him.
She has so much to look forward to. Her first day of school, her first crush, her first kiss; She would miss all of that.
"Seth?" Jaylnn whispered to him, placing a gentle kiss on his lips.
"Hm?" He muttered, not knowing what to say.
"Nothing is set in stone. The doctor just wants to have her checked out, he would be a bad doctor if he didn't." Seth stayed silent, taking in his wife's words. He wanted to believe, and a part of him did. Yet he couldn't stop the images that flashed through his mind. Little Sophia in surgery, or her in chemo. It broke his heart. But the one image he could not stop, no matter how hard he tried or how much he drank, stayed permanently etched in his mind.
His little girl, his princess, his angel, being buried in a small coffin. That's what truly scared him.
Sophia's loud cries could be heard from the baby monitor that sat on Seth's desk. His eyes glanced towards it, the lights on the small device going off.
He rubbed his wife's back as she stood up from my his lap. She outstretched her hand towards him, as he gratefully accepted it. They intertwined their fingers as they made their way to Sophia's room.
Seth released her hand as he turned the corner, walking into his daughter's room. The walls were painted a light shade of pink. Flowers covered the corners of the walls, stuffed animals laid sprawled about. She had every toy a little girl could ever want. Sophia was spoiled by everyone in her father's life, from producers, writers, and even down to long distance friends.
She was a very loved little girl.
Sophia Perry Macfarlane stood in her crib, holding onto the side rails, jumping up and down. The moment she saw her father, her face lit up.
"Daddy!" She said, elongating the "e" sound.
"Hi my princess!" Seth said enthusiastically. His fear washed away, hearing his wife's words running through his head. He had to live for the now.
"Dada! Dada!" She chanted, outstretching her small arms to him.
He walked over to her crib, unlocking the bar and sliding it down. He leaned forward and picked her up, resting her against his chest.
She didn't weigh too much, being only 29 lbs. It alarmed both Seth and Jaylnn, which was one of the warning signs they had picked up on.
Jaylnn leaned against the doorway, watching the loving scene before her. A soft meow could be heard as Chester, the family cat, entered the room. He jumped onto the small dresser that stood next to Sophia's bed. The gray cat stood guard, watching the both of them.
"I'm hungry, daddy." Sophia whispered to Seth, while she stuck her small thumb in her mouth.
"Okay, let's go see what we can make you." He replied, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. She squirmed in his arms turning her head in the other direction, seeing her mother. Once again, the she smiled. Jaylnn smiled back at her giving her a little wave.
Sophia removed her thumb from her mouth, pushing herself away from Seth. "Daddy, put me down." She giggled.
Seth released his daughter, putting her gently on the ground as she was greeted by Chester. Sophia pushed her lips out leaning towards him, giving him a small kiss on his furry head. He meowed in response as she laughed and ran to her mother.
"You ready to have some lunch sweetie?" Jaylnn asked her as the both of them walked towards the kitchen, with Chester trailing behind them.
Seth followed Jaylnn and his daughter to the kitchen as his little girl ran around, chasing Chester. He caught up to Jaylnn wrapping his arm around her waist, giving her a small kiss.
"I love you." He whispered in her ear.
"I love you more." She replied, as Sophia's laugh echoed throughout the house. They both smiled, masking the worry that lurked beneath.
Things were about to change.
Okay, I mean no disrespect to Perry in any way in this story. She is meant to serve a very significant part in this story. So. Yeah.
