I decided to give a songfic a shot, but I think its gonna be a little different from the current one chapter ones. The song I chose is "Father Figure" by George Michael and the lyrics will be at the end of each chapter. Reviews are appreciated, so please let me know what you think so far. Thanks
He stood in the doorway, watching her sleep, like he did every night. And when the tiniest whimper escaped her lips he was at her side, kneeling next to the bed.
"It's okay, kid. Just a bad dream."
A bad dream, that was all. The same bad dream she had been having for weeks. This time though, he was going to keep the nightmares away from her, or at least that one in particular.
She struggled to open her eyes and a small smile spread across her lips when she saw him kneeling next to her, but faded quickly at the memory of her dream. "They got you." She mumbled, speaking of the nightmare for the first time.
"Who got me?"
"Mercs."
It was a simple answer, but still one he didn't like. Not because he was afraid of the fake badges, but because of the fear on her face.
"I was alone Riddick. And I..." She fought back a sob. "I..."
"Shh..." He touched a finger to her quivering lips. "You know I ain't going no where, kid. Nobody's taking me away from you." He stood swiftly then leaned down and patted her shoulder. "Scoot over kid."
There was no hesitation in her movements as she scooted herself to the other side of the bed and turned over with her back to him. It was a few more seconds before she felt the weight shift of the bed and he settled in next to her, draping one arm lazing around her waist.
"I'm not going to leave you." His hand gently rubbed circles over her slim stomach.
"Promise?" She asked through a yawn.
His hand traveled a little lower and caressed her thigh, "I promise, Jack."I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time
