Just wanted to say thanks for the kind reviews, and a special thanks for the faithful ones that also read the pervious story. Just wanted to apologize for some confusion. I know my summary mentions Emily as a teen and having an interst in boys... this will happen, I just want to get her childhood out of the way first. Her epilepsy will have a huge part in this story, and I needed some background to work with. Thanks again, remember to keep reviewing------Zombiepop69
Meanwhile the hefty hip-hop master and the mildly retartded singing God were in the kitchen...
Murdoc had taken his little girl to his domain, the winnebago, to calm her down and catch a few winks while he was at it. walking through the carpark Emily gently sobbed into his shoulder while Murdoc rubbed her back lovingly. The rusty door of the winnie rang through the carpark and inside which startled his faithful winged pet Cortez. "Caww!" he screeched as his masters entered. "Listen mate, the zombies are roaming, go feast on them" he encouraged Cortez as he held the door open for him. Cortez swiftly flew out to get a good meal as Murdoc and Emily went into the bedroom. "Daddy!" Em cried as if it was some stranger holding her tightly. "I'm right her babe, calm down honey" he whispered to her. Murdoc layed down on the bed with Emily on his chest. Emily squirmed a bit and shivered. "Shhh..." Murdoc soothed as Em placed her head on his chest. Murdoc reached down and took her shoes off so she could relax more, then he threw them across the winne and made a big thunk! sound, with a bit of glass breaking. "Oops..." Murdoc replied to himself and shrugged it off and he continued to rub his baby's back, but she still shivered. "Are you cold my luv?...Why don't you answer meh today eh?... I can't help you if you don't tell meh whats wrong babe." Murdoc cooed. He could feel her tears being soaked up with his usual, worn, grey shirt. Then he did the unspeakable (at least for the Niccals, and our poor ears!!!) Murdoc caressed Emily's arm with his fingertips, and began to hum a familar tune, followed by:
You are my sunshine
my only sunshine...
Emily stopped shivering and opened her eyes
You make meh happy when skies are grey...
Emily wipped her face on Murdoc's shirt and looked up at him. Murdoc stroked her face with his rough hands.
You'll never know dear
How much I love you...
Murdoc wipped the remaining tear from her eye
Please don't take my sunshine away
Emily had clamed down and cuddled up into his chest. "Atta girl" Murdoc whispered. Emily snuggled her face into his shirt, but then something very familar came to her. She placed her ear against her father's chest and listened. She felt his body heat through the shirt, his heavy breathing, his chest going up and down, but this isn't what caught her attention. It was the gentle, but loud thump, thump...thump, thump sound. So soothing to her ear, she looked up at Murdoc once more. He smiled and patted her head. " I remember" she said quietly. "Remember what Em?" Murdoc replied a little bit confused. "Your heart...I remember your heart sounds when I was sick" she said low. Murdoc was surpirsed. "You remember that?...Lucifer, you were a just a baby when I laid you on meh chest when you couldn't sleep and were sick. You remember my heartbeat?" Emily nodded, "I like your heart sounds" she then laid her head back down on his chest to listen to the gentle rythm, but as she laid there another memory flooded her mind. She sat straight up and look at Murdoc who was about to fall asleep. "Your heart" she said a little bit louder this time. Murdoc opened his eyes. "What about it?' he replied a bit upset, and tired. "I remember your heart...YOUR heart was sick" Murdoc was shocked, all of these memoried were being triggered by a simple heartbeat...and so fast. " Yeah...my heart is still sick babe" he whispered to her. "Your sick?" she asked. Murdoc brought her a little closer to his face and placed his cheek on hers. "My heart is weak honey, thats all. I didn't mean to scare you. Dadd'ys fine." he reassurred her. "Don't worry Daddy, I'll take care of you" Emily Rose replied and kissed his warm, stubbly, in need of a shave, cheek. Murdoc grinned and began to tickle her. Emily cried out in laughing fits "Oh? Doctor Emily, help meh! Help meh stop my tickling disease...oh no! Now YOU caught it, You Caught Meh Tickling Disease!" Murdoc stopped and laid back down and so did Emily. She hugged his tightly.
Suddenly Russel busted open the winnie door, which startled Emily making her squeal from frieght and she snuggled into hier father's arms. Russel made his enterance to the bedroom. "Sweer Satan Lards! I just had her calm down and ya scare her half to death!" Murdoc yelled as he embraced his daughter. "Muds...not now...we have bigger problems" Russel replied in a huff and a puff. "What is it...meh and the Chavvy were about to take a nap" Murdoc rolled his eyes in agiation. "Dr. Green called with Em's results" Murdoc sat up real quick. "Well?' Murdoc asked in suspense. "Its back...he wants Emily to go to the hospital right now...its bad"
Yeah...I know, really out of charcter. Like Muds would actually sing, and especially that song, but, I thought it was really appropriate for the moment. My dad used to sing that to me when I was that young, so...there ya go.
