The Innocence Trilogy

Innocent Childhood

Bug Catching and Piggy Rides

Nathan wiped his glasses as he sat in the lawn chair. He watched as his little Shilo ran around the yard chasing bugs. He smiled, closing his eyes and tilting his head back, feeling the rare sun on his face. It had been years since the sun had last shown its rays through the smog, and Nathan lost no time in bringing Shi out to enjoy this rare joy.

"Ha! Come on!" Little Shi called out and Nathan looked down at her, a little taller than the middle of his thighs. He stood, picking her up as he did and she squealed in delight, putting her small arms around his throat immediately. He kissed the top of her head then went towards the center of their yard.

"What are we hunting today, Shi?" He murmured before dropping a kiss onto the crown of her head. She twisted her small body in his arms so she could point at the butterfly flying at the level of his head nearby.

He grinned mischievously for a second before placing her on the ground long enough to adjust her position before placing her on his shoulders. She squealed again to his delight, hugging his head until she was steady. She let go of his head and reached out for the butterfly as it passed them. He held her by the legs to him as he chased after the bug to the little four-year-old's pleasure. Father and daughter laughed as Shilo barely missed catching the butterfly as it flew too high for their combined reach.

Nathan came to a sudden halt, startling her enough to grab his head before he reached up and pulled her down as he fell to the ground, both of them laughing. He pulled her to his chest as they both looked up into the sunlight.

"I love you Daddy." Shilo said, leaning up to give him a little peck on the cheek before settling on his chest. He smiled down at her and sighed happily.

"I love you to, Shi." He said, hugging her as he looked up. He swallowed heavily. He wished more than anything that her mother Marni was with them at this moment.

A/N so, here's chapter 2, hopefully better than chapter 1... but that's up to the reviewers...
