Jordy was sitting in her room, staring out the window. Randy stared at her little frame that had visibly changed in the last two weeks since watching her mother be lowered into the ground. He was really worried about her, because she wasn't talking to anyone other than Tristan. Slowly he walked up behind her, they needed to talk. He picked her up and set her on his lap. "Jordy we need to talk." She slowly turned her head and looked at him.

"Sweetie, you know I love you right?" Jordy nodded her head. "You know that I have to go back to work right?" Jordy nodded she knew what was coming next. She didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around his neck and start crying. It was breaking Randy's heart, to know she was hurting and not being able to do anything about it. He sighed and rubbed her back. "Baby, please talk to, can you tell me what's wrong?" Jordy didn't move she just kept her face buried in Randy's neck. They sat there both crying for another hour until Jordy fell asleep. Randy gently set her down and got up to leave the room. She grabbed his t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. "What's wrong?" She pointed towards the bed. He nodded and crawled in next to her. It was quite comedic to see Randy try and squeeze his six foot five inch frame into a bed made for a small child, but he did just to please his daughter. He waited until she was totally asleep before quietly tip toeing out of the room. He sat on the bed and laid his head in his hands. The pain that he was feeling from losing Emily made him sad, but it was compounded by not knowing how to help Jordy. She wouldn't talk, she was barely eating, and she was sleeping erratically. He groaned as he attempted to fight back tears. He lay back on the bed resting his head against his bent shoulder and fell asleep.

Two hours later he was awoken to a blood curdling scream he jolted up immediately he took off toward Jordy's room only to have her meet him in his doorway. She was crying and had tears already running down her face. Randy reached down and picked her up. "Kix, what's wrong?" She frantically wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Daddy you left!" Randy sighed. "I thought you were gone too." He closed his eyes quickly to push the tears away. He rubbed her back and sat down on the bed. He waited until she had stopped crying before he spoke.

"Sweetie, look at me." Jordy took a deep breath and did so. "I'm not going to ever leave you."

"Mama did." Randy sighed.

"Yes she did, but you know what? She's still here with you." Jordy looked around confused, Randy smiled. "Know she's always in your heart and in your memory."

"But it hurts Daddy."

"I know it hurts, Baby. I hurt too." That seemed to catch Jordy's attention.

"You hurt?" He nodded and looked into her big brown eyes.

"Yup, she was my favorite lady in the whole world. I loved her with all my heart." Jordy smiled at that and nodded. "And you know what? You were her favorite baby." Jordy smiled, Randy sensing this was helping continued. "I was nervous about being a daddy to you, but the way that she talked about you let me know you were someone special. She talked about you to anyone who would listen. On our first date you were all she could talk about." Randy smiled and Jordy giggled.

"She talked about me?" Randy nodded. "I miss her Daddy." Randy sighed.

"I know baby." He reached over on the nightstand and pulled out her locket with a picture of them together last Christmas. He unclasped it and placed it around Jordy's neck. "Now, she's always close to you and right next to your heart." Jordy smiled.

"Thanks Daddy." Randy was smiling, he was so happy that she was talking again.

"Jordy can I ask you a question?" She nodded. "Why would you only talk to Tristan?" She lowered her head, she knew that one day he would ask.

"I saw you crying for Mama and I didn't want to say something to make you sad. Tristan didn't get sad." Randy took a deep breath.

"Baby, you're right I was sad, but I'm a big boy I can handle it if you want to talk about your mom. I don't ever want you to forget her." Jordy nodded and yawned, Randy smiled. "Ok, let's get you to bed." Jordy shook her head.

"Can I sleep in here with you?" Randy smiled.

"How can I deny my princess a request?" Jordy smiled climbed into the bed and within minutes she was out. Randy took a deep breath, he'd never planned on getting married and now he was a widower with an eight year old child.
