Jack sat up straight, his daughter's haunting cries and pain still echoing in his head.
"Dad! No! No!" This time the cries were real and out loud. He made his way to her room and ast beside her on the bed.
"Cassi, Cassi, wake up" he said as he shook her. Her eyes flung open and she sat up straight into his embrace.
"It's all right, it's all right" he whispered. She clawed at his t-shirt, trying to gain some sort of assurance that he was real with her fingers.
"Oh, oh, you're real!" she said through halting sobs, "They killed you, they killed you! Daddy, my Daddy!" He could feel sobs racking her body as she trembled in his arms.
"I'm still here, Cassi, baby, I'm still here" He marveled at the feeling of intense, sudden, love and the allmightly desire to protect her from everything that filled him. How easily he fell back into the role of "Daddy".
"Daddy, Daddy. You're THERE" she cried quietly as her warm tears began to soak through his shirt.
"Yes. I'm here" he said and began rocking his baby girl back and forth as her pained tears fell onto his heart.
Note: In case of confusion, the "You're THERE" comment was refering to the previously missing presence of Jack's conscienceness in her mind.
