The next morning, I woke up with my husband's arms around my waist. I wriggled out of his grip and walked towards my mirror. My eyes were really red and puffy from crying so much. I didn't want to lose Danny, but I also didn't want to ruin his dream. He always wanted to be an astronaut and going to space. Well, his dream did become a reality. For all of an hour. When we were fourteen. Now he's twenty-six and has a family. This is just too hard for him to deal with right now.

I stood by our door, watching Danny as he slept. He looked so peaceful. Soon, I felt a figure slip through my arm. "Mommy, what're you doing?" asked my eight-year-old daughter

"Nothing. Just watching your dad," I replied, taking her by the shoulders and leading her to her sister's room

"Why are you taking me here?"

"Can you play with Jule? Just for a little while?"

"Alright..."

"Thanks," I answered, kissing my daughter on the forehead and walking back into my own room

Danny was stretching and yawning as I walked in. He was so cute when he looked like that. "Hey," I said to him, "Sleep well?"

"I guess," he replied

I walked over to the empty spot on the bed and sat down next to my hubby. "You okay?" I asked, rubbing his back

"I don't know anymore."

"Don't beat yourself up. You should go on that shuttle. You're always saying that you've always wanted to!"

"That was a different time."

"Whatever you choose, we'll be okay."

"I guess you're right. You've always been right about things," Danny replied, with an adorable smirk forming on his face

I gave him a smile back and then kissed his cheek.

"I don't want to see you depressed anymore. I miss seeing you smile. I like it when you smile," I said the last bit with a small pout on my face. I knew he couldn't resist that.

His hands were covering his eyes. "You're doing it again aren't you?"

"No..." I trailed off, still with the pout on my face

I grabbed his hands and brought them down to our laps. I then leaned in and kissed him sweetly. After our kiss, we were laughing like we were still little kids.

"You're so mean, y'know that?"

"I know," I said as my eyes wandered away, then coming back to facing him, "But you love it," I whispered

I leaned my head on his chest to comfort him. "You sure you're gonna be okay?" he asked again

"We'll be fine! I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself!"

"So she says."

I hit Danny playfully on the arm. "Oh, stop it!"
