Scars and Stripes

by No Fate 1990

There is only so much that Sarah can handle and bear especially it concerns losing someone close to her.

45. The Sweetest Cutest Little Prince

Still in Sarah's p.o.v

The night is not beautiful especially for bad dreams. Carrying his teddy bear, Chance crawls into my

bed. "Mommy, I can't sleep" he complains. "You must've had a nightmare again" I conclude. Hand in

hand, I accompany Chance back to his room. We don't disturb Kyle and the others from sleeping.

"Mommy, there are monsters in my closet. There are monsters underneath my bed" Chance points

out. I select a book, "The Little Prince" off his book shelf. "I can read you a bedtime story" I offer.

"Yay!" excited, Chance shouts jumping up and down. He listens long and closely as I read to him.

"You are the sweet cutest little prince that I ever seen" I tease him. He falls asleep knowing that

I love him. He has Down Syndrome, but that doesn't change anything.
