Hi everyone! I know it's been a while but guess what? I actually had a life for once thi past week. Hard to believe I know. So this chapter is Up/Rosa memories again like I had several chapters ago. I hope you guys like it. Hopefully some more drama will occur in the next chapter, but this one is kinda fluffy and happy for the moment. Remember to read and review, and also leave prompts for my Tup and LaurWalk prompt stories! Make sure to clarify which prompt goes with each ship. Any questions, message me and I'll be happy to answer! Keep on reading everyone!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Starship.

After Rosa had left, Up stayed seated in the gym for a whole going over everything in his mind. He basically had just lost his daughter for good. She was no longer that pure innocent girl he used to know. Of course in this time of stress everything he looked at brought back old memories. The bench press in the corner...

"Daddy what are we doing?"
"Well we are going to go work out!"
"Will it be fun?"
"Of course, darlin'."
The little four year old bounced up and down on her father's back as hehave her a piggy back ride. During what seemed like an endless walk tothe gym, Rosa rested her head on her father's shoulder.
"Princess, we're here." He said taking her off of his back andgrasping her hand tightly in his own so he did not lose her. "Comeover here!" He exclaimed with a big smile in his face. It was thebench press and he sat down on it and looked at her.
"What are we going to do, Daddy?"
Before he answered he picked her up and hoisted her above his headcausing her to start giggling.
"Daddy!"
"What?"
"What are we doing?"
"Exercising!" He laid back down on the machine and lifted her up anddown as if she was a weight. He spent the rest of the morning with a smile on his face as the giggles from Rosa echoed through the room as he worked out for the day.

Up sighed and got up from his spot and started walking again. As he left the gym he noticed the little letters hung throughout the hallway written by the kids of different rangers who had sent letters out to their parents while they were away on missions.

Up had been sent away on a three week mission without Taz. Even though he wished she was with him, he knew it was for better since she was taking care of their two kids. Rosa had just turned five a week before Up left, and Gabriel was nearly one years old. It was very hard on him to be missing these days of their lives but it was his job. Once a ranger, always a ranger.

He sat in his room on the drop pod before hearing a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door, looking down at the boy in front of him.

"What can I help you with, ensign?"

"There is a package for you." The boy said, handing it to the commander before leaving the door.

Up was not expecting any package so he sat down on his bed and immediately opened the letter that was on top of the package delivered. It was a handmade, pink card that had a picture of him and his family on it. In the picture both him and Taz were smiling widely while holding their kids hands. It caused Up to smile before opening the letter to read it.

"Dear Daddy,

I miss you very very very much! It feels like I haven't seen you in forever! How is your mission? Did you catch all the evil monsters? I bet you did! You're the best Starship Ranger ever. And the best daddy ever! Oh, guess what happened to me? I lost my first tooth! It was my front one so it's hard to eat now but it was really cool. And I got two dollars from the Tooth Fairy. Mommy let me buy something at the store, which I in the box I sent you. I hope you like it. I bought it all for you. I love you so so so much and can't wait to see you soon, Daddy!

Love Your Favorite Daughter,

Rosie"

Up smiled widely at the letter and gently put it down on the side table before opening the present left for him. It was covered in bubble wrap and when he finally got it out of the wrap an even bigger smile formed on his face. It was a picture frame with a photo in it of him and Rosa at her birthday party the other week. On the frame in bubble letters it said "I Love My Daddy!" Up couldn't believe that she used her own money to buy him something. He placed the picture frame right next to his bedside table again and whenever he started missing home, he glance over at the picture and was suddenly okay again.

Up continued off to the living quarters and continued to remember all the great things that used to happen with his family together.

Crappy ending I know, but I wanted to write something! Did you enjoy it? Let me know! Also here are some other things you may want to know. Or may not, haha.
