The next couple of days were tough for Sophie. Sophie was still mourning her father and traumatized by the disaster in Jurassic World. Owen knew it was going to be hard for her to consider a new life. He decided to send her to therapy. They met a therapist named Mrs. Hoover and she invited Sophie into her office. Mrs. Hoover let Sophie play with toys and talked with her, But somehow, Sophie only said little words. "Sophie, I'm going to ask you a few questions and I need you to answer them,ok?" she asked. Sophie nodded her head.
"Where did you live before all of this?"
"I lived in Florida with my daddy"
"Ok. Can you tell me more about him?"
"He was a good daddy. He likes dinosaurs and the Beatles"
"That sounds like a fun dad"
"He was, But I never knew my mom because he said she left when I was baby"
"Oh, so why did he take you to jurassic world?"
"We went because I just turned 6 and we were going to spend the rest of my birthday there"
"Can you tell me what you remember being in the park before the incident?"
"He took me to feed the baby dinosaurs and dig the dinosaur bones" Sophie started to cry as she explained, "and then we went on the Gyrosphere, and it broke down..."
Owen picked up Sophie and consoled her. "You've done enough" he said to Mrs. Hoover. "I apologize for the difficult questions" she replied, "If you want to schedule another appointment-"
"I said you've done enough" Owen said firmly.
Late that night, Owen found himself getting lack of sleep. He thought about his raptors and mostly Blue. He thought of how she'll adapt to wildlife on the island. Owen didn't really want to be considered a hero due to helping stop the Indonimus Rex and rescuing Sophie. He thought he just needed what needed to be done to protect the park. Then, he found himself thinking about Claire. When him and Sophie left Isla Nublar, he knew she still wasn't going to recover from the horrific incident. Why would he think of someone he once dated? Did he want her to come with him?
When he got out of bed, he stood out on his upstairs deck and looked at the view, thinking about what would be next for him and Sophie. Then, he heard the door open and foot patters behind him. He turned around and saw Sophie standing at the door. ''Hey Soph. You can't sleep?'' Owen asked her gently. Sophie silently shook her head. ''Come on, let's go back to bed'' Owen said as he picked up Sophie and went downstairs, ''I couldn't sleep either''
He walked into Sophie bedroom and sat on her bed with Sophie in his arms.
''I miss my daddy'' she looked up at him sadly, ''Why did the dinosaur have to take him away?''
Owen wanted to give her an answer, But it would be too harsh to accept the Indominus Rex's attack on Sophie's father. He didn't know Sophie's father, But felt strong sympathy for her losing her father at a young age. It made him think about when his dad walked out on him and his mother when he was 7. ''Sweetie, I'm sorry, But you're going to have to except that your daddy is gone'' he told her,''He might've not wanted to leave you, But he might've wanted to keep you safe. Your daddy's up there with the angels because God wanted him to help other people''.
''Is that where the raptors are?''
''Yeah''
Sophie rested her head back on Owen's chest,''I think he's going to take good care of them''
Owen gave a small smile and stroked the little girl's hair. ''Me too'' he said.
''Daddy, promise you'll stay my daddy forever?''
''Always'' Owen whispered as he kissed the top of Sophie's head. Owen began to remind Sophie of her father. Her father had a light stubbly beard slightly like Owen's. She remembered the way he would put her on his shoulders, play with her, he would hold her in his arms, and the way his stubbly beard felt when he gave her kisses on her cheek. Owen laid back against the headboard and continued to stroke his daughter's hair. Then, he softly sang ''Ooh Child'' until Sophie fell asleep.
Author's Note: ''Ooh Child'' (by the Five Stairsteps) is actually from Peter Quill/Star-Lord's mixtape in Guardians of the Galaxy if none of you got the reference. Please review!
