Emily sighed and tossed her long black curls over her shoulder "My oh my" she whispered opening another book. A white piece of paper edged with pale pink flowers caught his attention. "What`s this?' she asked herself. It was a letter and from the looks of things it had been read many time.
"My Dearest Nikolas" she read aloud.
"That`s my father" she said ever so softly "Is it from my mother?". She quickly read on.
"My Dearest Nikolas,
I know it almost time for me to leave the world, and although i`m with Zander i have to let my feelings for you be known. In the more recent weeks we have become closer then ever before, and my teenage dreams came true. I was going to marry Nikolas Cassidine. Even though you were doing it as a favor for me, it still felt real in my heart. But Nikolas i wasn`t being fair you were set ot marry Lydia and I myself was, and still am commeted to Zander. And part of me loves Zander, you know that I do, but Nikolas you have my full heart and soul. I just wish i could go back to those days when me and Elizabeth loved you and Lucky with every fiber of our being. But the days aren`t so simple now, and it seems my frist love will be my last love. So as i prepare to join my mother in heaven, i want you to keep my love for you in your heart and please do me a favor. Be happy Nikolas, grow to love Lydia and have children with her. Let them run barefoot in the grass and eat ice cream before dinner. And don`t get mad at them if they have to leave in the middle of a storm and pick there best friends up at a church, what are the odds of that happening agian though. All My Love forever and for always
Emily.".
Emily gasped "Emily! as in the women i`m gussing i`m named after. My father loved someone else when he married my mother. Does he still love her? Why did Emily die?".
"What was that?" her father`s deep voice asked.
Emily turned and in the process dropped the lettre to the floor "I`m sorry Dad".
"Emily Elizabeth what are you doing with that?".
"I was just....".
"Just what?" Nikolas asked snatching the letter of the floor.
"Just looking for a book to do a project on".
Nikolas`s face soften "i`m the one who`s sorry Em, it`s just this is letter was meant for my eyes only and it means the world to me".
"I shouldn`t have read it, i know but Dad do you still love her".
"Who? Emily?'.
"Yah".
"Yah".
"Oh, do you miss her?".
"Everyday" Nikolas repiled.
"Am i named after her?" Emily asked softly.
"Yes, you were born on her birthday and we figured it was the right thing to do".
"Do you love my mother?" Emily asked after a few minutes.
"I think part of me does, but Emily was my soulmate. The women I was meant to fall in love with".
"Oh".
"But you know something" Nikolas smiled sitting down in his chair.
"What?" Emily asked leaning agianest her father.
"You remind me a little of Emily. You love aventure just like she did".
"Really?".
"yah" Nikolas smiled "We had some great advetures.".
"Daddy?' Emily asked softly.
Nikolas smiled, she hadn`t called him that in years "What princess?".
"How did Emily die?" Emily spoke so soft you could barely hear.
"Cancer" Nikolas choked out.
"i`m sorry daddy" Emily whispered hugging her father.
"I`t`s okay. i belive i`ll see Emily agian. She is up in heaven with all of the other angels".
"I belive that".
"Good" Nikolas smiled "Now how about some ice cream?".
"before dinner?" Emily asked with a laughed.
"Sure why not kiddo" Nikolas laughed.
"Hey dad?" Emily asked on the way out of the study.
"I love you".
"I love you to Emily".
