Chapter 11! So something happens in this chapter to Eva that recurs a few times as she grows up, I'm sorry that the story is dragging. I think it's never going to be as good as BTL ( God I miss writing that story ) I even think this chapter is not that good and I know another short chapter. Thank you for the Reviews, Favorites, Alerts and to the unknown people who read my story too lol

A jumped up in the bed as he heard Eva screaming next to him, he looked down at her to see her struggling under the blankets and pulled them away from her face. He frowned as he watched her scream again in her sleep, he pulled the rest of the blankets away from her and gently lifted her up from the bed.
" Eva, wake up..." Whispered A, he placed her down on his lap and wrapped his arms around her as he cuddled her closely." Come on baby, it's okay. Your Uncle A is here, wake up for me now sweetheart..."
" Daddy!" Cried Eva.
A swung his legs out off the bed with Eva in his arms, he placed his feet down on the floor and cupped her cheek with his hand as he spoke gently to her." Hush baby, it's okay... are you okay sweetheart?"
" I had a scary dream..." Said Eva quietly, she at her bit bottom lip and sniffled as she rubbed at her eye. " I want Mummy... "
" It's okay, it was only a dream Eva pops and you're safe here with me..." Smiled A, he uncupped her cheek and sighed deeply." I know, I miss your Mum too..."
" Promise?" Asked Eva.
" I promise. Come on, let's get you cleaned up in the bathroom..." Smiled A, he lifted Eva up from his lap as he got up from the bed and carried her out of the bedroom." You really scared me screaming like that sugar, I thought I was having a nightmare myself at first..."
" I'm sorry Uncle A for scaring you..." Sighed Eva as she rested her forehead on her Uncle's shoulder and sucked at her finger tip." I don't like bad dreams..."
A turned the bathroom's light on as he walked into the room, he took a few tissues from the tissue box on the bathroom counter and wiped Eva's runny nose." It's okay baby, are you going to tell me what you were dreaming about?"
" My Daddy..." Sniffled Eva.
" Do you want to tell me about your dream over brunch?" Asked A, he threw the used tissues into a blue plastic bin by the toilet and turn the bathroom light off as he walked through the doorway into the living room. " Sometimes talking about dreams can help you feel better..."
Eva slowly shook her head as she closed her eyes, she snuggled her face into her Uncle's shoulder and yawned." No..."
" Okay short stuff, so strawberry jam on toast with a glass of milk for your snacking times?" Asked A, he pressed a button on the wall and the room's sliding door opened." Or would you like something different for once like cereal..."
Eva slightly shook her head as she trembled in her Uncle's arm, she wrapped around his neck and sighed." I want strawberry yogurt today..."
" Eva, why are you trembling?" Asked A, he walked through the doorway of their room and headed along the corridor towards the stairs." Are you cold?"
" I'm scared..." Whispered Eva.
" Scared of what?" Asked A as he carried Eva down the stairs and rubbed her back." There is nothing to be scared of, you're very safe in this building..."
" Of my butterflies going away like my Mummy and Daddy's..." Whispered Eva.
A pressed a button on the wall, the door to the kitchen slid open and carried Eva into the kitchen." Don't be silly, you're butterflies are not going anywhere yet short stuff. Let's get you something to eat and then I want to hear about this dream you had..."
" Okay..." Nodded Eva.
A placed Eva down at the kitchen table, he walked over towards the fridge and opened the door to it." We're in luck! There is one strawberry yogurt left!"
Eva wiped her nose with her hand as she watched her Uncle pour her a glass of milk, he grabbed a spoon from the kitchen counter draw and joined her at the kitchen table.
" Alright sweetheart..." Smiled A, he placed the glass of milk down in front of Eva and sat down on the chair next to her." I'm going to feed you..."
" But I can feed myself!" Frowned Eva.
A ripped the lid off the strawberry flavored yogurt pot, he placed the lid down on the table and stirred the silver spoon around in the pot." Open your mouth Ichigo Jamu for your Uncle A because the airplane is coming!"
" No!" Frowned Eva, she crossed her arms across her chest and pouted." I am a big girl now!"
" Not to me, you're always be my little... erm... Ichigo pops..." Chuckled A.
" No!" Frowned Eva.
" Just let me feed you sweetheart, you're still trembling a bit and I don't want you to make a mess down your t-shirt..." Sighed A, he spooned some of the strawberry yogurt onto the spoon and held it towards Eva's mouth. " Open wide for the spaceship!"
Eva sighed to herself, she ate the yogurt from the spoon and licked her lips.
" Good girl! I remember feeding you like this when you were a baby..." Smirked A.
" I'm not a baby!" Frowned Eva, she slid from the chair and placed her hand on her Uncle's knees as she stood on her tip tooes." I am 4 years old!"
A placed the yogurt down on the table, he lifted Eva up from the floor and sat her down on his lap."Okay you're not a baby then. So, are you going to tell what your dream was about now?"
" My Daddy... " Whispered Eva, she took the spoon from her yogurt pot and sucked the tip of the spoon." Me and my Daddy were painting the floor with strawberry jam. We were having fun, then a man dressed black came and he dragged my Daddy away from me. I ran after my Daddy, but he was gone... I was scared..."
A took the spoon from Eva's hand, he scooped some strawberry yogurt from the pot and held it towards her mouth." It was just a bad dream, it wasn't real. So don't be scared, do you know what the panda detective once told me when was little about bad dreams?"
" What did he say?" Asked Eva.
" He told me bad dreams only exist in our minds, the things we should fear most is mankind itself..." Answered A.
" But, it was scary..." Sighed Eva.
" I know, but bad dreams fade..." Smiled A, he kissed the top of Eva's head and sighed." Let me feed you the rest of the yogurt and then you can stay with me for the rest of the day well I work..."
" Really?" Asked Eva, she ate the yogurt from the spoon and smiled." I would like that Uncle A!"
" But you've got to be really good though, the panda detective will be there with the rest of team panda..." Chuckled A, he scooped more strawberry yogurt from the pot with the spoon and brought the spoon to Eva's mouth again." You'll have to be super quiet..."
" Like a mouse?" Asked Eva.
" Yeah, a little baby mouse..." Answered A.
" Can I bring my drawing pad, crayons and can I wear my panda hoody too?" Giggled Eva.
" Okay we have a deal!" Laughed A.
