Nightmare (1)
Will and Emma are sleeping in their room when all of a sudden there are little bitty footsteps running down the hallway into their room. The door slightly opens and the hallway light comes in the room that is directly on Emma. The little voice keeps saying,
"Mommy?" And finally after the little child repeatedly called her name, Emma wrinkled her nose and awoke to see a little face that belonged to her daughter. Her red hair like Emma's, her Bambi doe eyes like Emma's and just everything about her is Emma.
Emma finally wakes up enough to ask
"What's wrong, baby girl?"
Her daughter started crying even more and couldn't even get out the word
"Mommy" before she started crying again. Emma then did what any mother would do.
"Come here, Erin." She said softly trying not to wake up Will. Erin climbs on the bed and sits in her mother's lap. After Erin sits in her mother's lap facing Emma, Emma pulls Erin into her arms.
"Shh, it's okay, love. I've got you, no one will hurt you."
After hearing Erin cry again, Will finally awoke to see Erin cuddled into Emma's chest.
"What's wrong with Daddy's little princess?"
"I am not sure, Will. Every time she tries to talk she starts shaking and crying. I think it was a nightmare about something evil."
"Mommy, daddy. I had a dream that you both weren't there anymore, that someone locked you both in a room away from me and I never saw you again."
Emma looked at her teary eyed daughter and almost started crying about the nightmare as well.
"Its okay, Erin because we will never leave you. Even if someone locked us in a room and tried to keep us separated we will never leave you, we would keep fighting to get you back because no one can stop your father and I from fighting for you. We love you very much and will never let anything happen to you."
Emma hugged Erin and kissed on the forehead then offered her to sleep with them which she accepted. This little girl was everything to them and they would never let her go.
