Daddy says I get it from you
"Ya'll right honey, you were having a nightmare, it was just a nightmare."
Jack tried to sooth his daughter and try to stop her from screaming. Dorrin sit in her father's hug tears swimming in her eyes and down her face.
"Again, you had it again?….shit." Ennis said
"Again, what do you mean again?" Jack said confused
"At around midnight I found her out in the barn, she said she had the dream again?"
"It's alright now, your awake now." He kissed his daughters forehead
"What time is it?" she managed to choke out.
"Four thirty."
"Ya'll right honey?" Ennis said
Dorrin didn't say anything because the truth was she wasn't alright, she was scared shitless, this dream had haunted her most of her life and she didn't know why, she wanted it to stop, she needed it to stop.
"Yah I'll be fine."
"You're sure?"
"Pretty much."
"You want to talk?" both said at the same time
"It's useless to tell you something you both already know, I am just glad it was a dream, and it's done now, and your both here."
"You want to go back to sleep?" Ennis said
"No."
"Kay, well I am going to go put on some coffee, and head out to the barn, you sure you don't want to talk to us?"
"I'm sure daddy."
Ennis walked out of the room but Jack stayed
"Were are these dreams coming from?"
"I don't know daddy."
"There so full of death, it makes me worry bout' you."
Jack sat there with a look on his face that worried Dorrin. Pain, grief. Jack just wanted the dream to end he hated having to see his baby hurt like that.
"Its o.k. daddy they will end one day, but for now I will have to put up with them."
"You sure are brave honey; don't know were you get it."
"Daddy says I get it from you."
Jack looked at his daughter, with such pride that he thought he would burst.
"Well wasn't that sweet of him."
Dorrin smiled, hugged her dad and they just sat there in a hug for a couple minutes appreciating the time together.
"I love you daddy."
"I love you too sweetheart."
