Chapter two
Fade
"What are you doing?" she asks, she always asks the questions that I cant answer. I just shake my head and zip my suitcase closed.
"are you going away?" standing there in the hall, in her white night gown that's too big for her, clutching her pillow in her arms, she looks so innocent and fragile, I cant lie to her.
"Only for a bit, I promise." I say. Tossing the heavy bag out the window, where it lands with a plop in the grass.
"you cant promise me that." she says. She has dropped her pillow and is moving forward to catch my sleeve.
"you cant promise you'll come back." she says. She wraps her arms around me and buries her face in my back.
"don't go away" she pleads. And in that moment I just want to drop everything and hold her in my arms. I don't want to care about anything but the small frantic girl that is clinging to me for dear life. But that isn't an option. I gently pry myself away from her.
"I'm sorry Mikan." I lift her chin up with my hands and kiss her lightly on the mouth.
"But I can make that promise." I say kissing her a second time.
"because I have to come back, I have to come back for you," I smile and press my hand to her swollen belly.
"and I have to come back for my daughter." she nods patiently and watches me with teary brown eyes as I disappear into the night
A/N: chapter 2! Sorry it took so long, and I know this story line is kinda cheesy…but I'll love you forever if you read it!
