Thanks to my reviewer huggs5! Here's another chapter for Tuesday!
He never thought he would get to do this again.
Never thought he would feel this feeling…his hearts fluttering so quickly in his chest, his words stuck in his throat, the tears pricking at the corner of his eyes.
He thought those days were lost - oh so long gone. Vanished. This feeling, so spent, found again.
The last time he experienced this pure kind of joy seemed so long ago…it only lingered slightly…like a dream.
A hazy, dizzy, distant, dream.
He sometimes wished it was.
Cause he had watched them burn. With everyone. He tried not to picture them ablaze, screaming, crying, question - Why? Why is this happening? Where are you? Where are you? Daddy?
Regret. Regret…life has to more then that…sheer guilt. In front of him now, she confirmed that. She made it true and concrete.
But he couldn't escape his nightmares where they all appeared. He has had a long time to get over them…he had promised he never would. Still…he didn't dare utter a word about them…or like to at least…no, of course not.
And she wasn't replacing them - She could never replace all of what they were.
But she was here now - the pink bundle in his arms…so tiny. But here. Actually here.
Two beautiful blue eyes, a few strands of golden curly hair (oh…just like her Mum's), ten toes, ten fingers, two hearts.
Oh…two hearts.
"River…" he sighed out, breathless and almost silent. "She's amazing…"
