A/N: Day 10 - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep. I chose "Everything's All Right" from Jesus Christ Superstar, I've always found it relaxing some of the dialogue is borrowed from Tangled (it just seemed very Paric to me). Thanks again for all the reviews! Hope you enjoy it :)

Day Ten: Everything's All Right


Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to problems that upset you
Oh, don't you know everything's alright?
Yes, everything's fine
[…]
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight
(Everything's all right, yes)
(Everything's all right, yes)

-'Everything's All Right'

Eric was still seething with barely controlled rage, fuelled by his fear at almost losing the one person he couldn't live without.

His hold tightened on the person in question as she whimpered, "It's all right," he soothed, unclenching his jaw with difficulty. "I'm here," he added, running a soothing hand down her back, "everything's all right."

Pam buried her face deeper into his neck, "I can still see his face," she whispered.

Eric thought about the puddle of blood and dismembered body parts that were all that remained of her assailant, "He won't hurt you again," he assured her.

"Thank you," she murmured, burying herself deeper in his embrace.

Eric made no comment, but held her close as she continued to tremble. He grit his teeth, Pam was the strongest woman he knew and he hated seeing her so vulnerable.

"He said you wouldn't come," she continued after a moment.

"I will always come for you," Eric promised.

"He said you were dead," she added with a small sob as though he hadn't spoken, she clutched him tighter, "and I couldn't feel you any more…" she trailed off as she burst into fresh tears.

Eric pulled her impossibly close, "I'm right here," he whispered in her ear, "and I'm never going to leave you," he paused, "besides, I'm already dead."

She laughed in spite of herself and pulled back to look him in the face, "You're an idiot."

It was Eric's turn to laugh, "Maybe," he conceded.

His amusement faded as he regarded her for a long moment, "I love you," he said softly.

Pam smiled softly, "I love you more."

"I love you most," Eric replied, kissing her on the forehead.

Pam gave a small, contented sigh as she buried her face in his neck once more and, safe in her Maker's arms, she drifted off to sleep.
