I do not own anything

First Soul Eater fanfic

Spirit and Maka

Daddy is Still Here

"Maka the day you were born was the happiest day of my life. If you ever need anything from Papa just ask, I'll be right there. I love you baby (kiss)." Maka replayed those words in her head over a million times ever day. Those were the last words that her father told her before 'Mama' left. At night Maka would dream of the family back together and would wake up crying.

The family was torn apart their home was a broken one and it was because of him. Every time he spoke to her she ignored, every time he tried comforting her she resisted. All he ever wanted to do was redeem himself but she never gave him the chance. "He doesn't deserve another chance; he had his chance and he ruined it by going out with other woman." Maka hit her pillow violently before she started talking again.

It was hard; no one was around to help her. All of this happened to fast for her to do anything about it and now both of them were suffering. Soul wasn't much help he just told her top wipe her tears and get ready. She was all alone in this spinning world; it twirled and went out of control all she wanted to do was get off. "I need someone, daddy I want that someone to be you, but."

In reality Maka missed her dad, but after what he did she could barely look at him without feeling pain. He always told her and Mama that he loved them more than anything, but every night he came home with lipstick on his shirt smelling like alcohol and sweat. Mama had had enough and she left home and left Maka with Papa. The last thing Maka asked Papa was "why do I have to stay with you?"

He was a rolling stone always changing and going through different phases of life. It must have been hard for him to cope with the loss of his wife's company and his daughter's love. He had a habit of disappearing and reappearing in constant intervals sometimes he would spend the whole night crying. He felt like scum and a bum drinking himself to death before passing out and finally getting some sleep.

Thinking back that was a horrible question to ask, "I'm so sorry Papa." There was no one around to hear her apology. Or so she thought, "Its okay Maka." Maka sat up and looked at her Papa standing in the doorway a smile on his face. Her eyes filled with tears but he was quickly there to wipe them away. "Shh its okay baby, Papa could never be mad at you, I love you." Maka hugged her Papa for the first time in a long time. "I'm sorry Papa," Spirit patted her back and shushed her, telling her to go back to sleep.

"Go to sleep, we'll talk in the morning baby." Maka called her Papa before he left the room. "Why would you want to talk to me Papa? I've ignored you for years." Spirit smiled and leaned against the doorway, "remember what I said?" "I told you if you ever needed anything I'd be there, well daddy is still here, I love you baby."

"Papa, do you think mom will ever come back?" Spirit thought for a while before giving her an honest answer. 'Things have gotten bad between me and your Mama; I don't see us ever being together again. Maka you have to know that everything happens for a reason, so I guess Mama and me were never meant to be. Maybe that's just what destiny is now please go to sleep maybe you'll wake up and this will all be just a dream."

Spirit stood there until Maka went to sleep; he tip toed to her side and kissed her cheek. She smiled as he did, "Mama is only gone for the moment."
