Hi there!
So here I am again writing on my vacation. I decided to instead of writing one long 4th of July one shot, write two short ones. This one is angst, and the next one is fluff. I'll post the fluff later.
Have a great 4th of July!
Enjoy!
Kate sat on the deck of the Hamptons house, her little girl wrapped snuggly in her arms. She watched as the first of many fireworks began lighting up the night to celebrate another year of independence.
She had an odd feeling deep in her heart that made itself known during every holiday, birthday, and special occasion. A hollowness of sorts. It made everything so bittersweet; happy occasions turned sour. With Maddie now in her life, there was a reason to be joyous and have fun; her purpose to keep on going. But a huge part of her life was gone; and it stung.
During a break in the action when the surroundings grew silent and the sky was clear, Maddie turned to look at Kate. "Mommy?"
"Yeah, sweetie?" Kate gave her her full attention, brushing her bangs away from her face.
Her angelic face, so little and innocence, displayed her emotions so plainly. "Is Daddy watching?"
"Of course." A single tear fell down her cheek, falling silently to her lap. She kissed the little girl's temple as the fireworks started up again. She looked past the display to the stars. "He always is."
Please review!
