A/N: I DO NOT OWN INCEPTION.

Next day.

"Where are you going?"

"I need to buy some clothes, and I'm going to the university to search for books"

"I'm going with you"

"It's ok uncle Eames, but-"

"You'll not leave this place without me, doll. Besides, I don't think you have enough money"

"Well, I have some savings"

"See? Come on, let's go"

Arthur went to the Pisa Tower early that morning, founding Dom there. He looked like if hadn't sleep for nights.

"Dom, hi"

"Hey Arthur. How was the job?"

"Good, it was a simple extraction"

"I didn't know that you still on this. You are on a team?"

"No, I'm on... you know"

"Well, you are the best Point Man I'm sure you are quite requested"

"Actually, I'm working as an extractor"

"Really? That's good"

"What hapened with Phillipa?"

"She hates me"

"Well, I have to study a lot"

We went to university, and I spoke with some people from the Architecture's department. I had two weeks to study. The admission test was quite difficult, and I couldn't waste a day.

"What are you going to study?"

"Architecture"

"A wise choice"

"Why?"

"Nothing. What do you need to buy?"

"I need to buy clothes..."

"Fine, let's go to some mall"

"Why are you saying this? Why are you here in Italy-"

"Phillipa ran away from me. She's in Paris with Eames"

"Eames?"

"He lives there. I told her everything, Arthur"

"Everything?"

"Everything about Mal"

After walk the entire mall, I bought everything I needed.

"Why women need clothes, clothes and more clothes? Plus shoes"

"Because we want to be beautiful for men. Can you wait here? I need to buy one more thing"

"I'm coming with you-"

"No, this is awkward..."

"What?"

"I need to go alone"

"Why?"

I sighed. I looked to the little shop and showed him where I needed to go.

"I need to buy a brassiere"

I was complete red. I looked at him, and he just smiled at me, and winked me. I really liked him and I felt him like my dad in those days.

"What happened Dom?"

"Before she ran away, she heard me talking with Ariadne. I had a dream, in wich I pushed Mal through the window. She tried to came inside, but I pushed her. She started to scream that I killed Mal. So, I don't why, I slapped her. I couldn't measure my strength and she fell into the floor and his nose started to bleed. She was crying in the floor... Ariadne tried to help her, even I, but she step away from us. She stayed in her room for an entire day, and when she went out, her cheeck was bruised"

"What did she tell you?"

Arthur was very focused in order to act like he didn't know anything about Dom's words, when he knew everything from Philipa.

"She packed her clothes, and leave the house. I looked for her every day Arthur. But she came back one day, and told me that she was going to Paris, to study. I came here to take her with me back to L.A, but she hates me"

"I don't know what to say-"

"Arthur, I need you to stay as close as you can with her"

"Ready to go?"

"Ready, let's go home. I have to study"

We walked back uncle Eames's flat. I took his living room with all my books and I started to study. I couldn't miss the opportunity to be here in Paris, close to my uncles. I was very focused on study and pass the admission test.

"Sorry for your living room"

"It's ok, maybe tomorrow Arthur is back, so you're going with him"

"Don't offend, but I'm feeling like I'm a kind of child that is in the middle of a parent's divorce"

"Haha, very funny. But no, you don't have to feel like that. You are going with him for three reasons. One, I don't have two beds. Two, you need your own place to study, and Arthur has and excellent room for that. And three, it's safe"

"One, I can sleep in your couch. Two, I can go to the library to study. And three-"

"One, you can't sleep on my couch, is unconfortable. Two, you can't spend like ten hours everyday in a library and three-"

"One, I-"

"Why you don't want to be with him?"

"Dom, I don't know-"

"Arthur, I know you'll take care of her like your own daughter. I do trust Eames, really. But I need you to take care of her"

Arthur sighed. He wanted to be away as much as he could from Phillipa since that kiss, and now, her father was asking him to take care of her.

"You don't need to worry, I will"

"I'm going to send you a check"

"We know it's not necessary"

"Just... save them for her, ok?"

"Ok"

"Thank you Arthur"

"Why you don't want to be with him?"

"Because I have feelings for him... and I know he doesn't feel the same for me"

"You don't know that"

"No, I don't. But it's going to be hard"

"Well, knowing your father, he's talking with Arthie know, asking him to be with you"

"He's not my father anymore. You are like my real dad, you know?"

"Me? A dad?"

"Yeah, I had always seen you as a kind of father to me. I'm going to call you 'dad'"

"Not in front of the girls"

"Sure, daddy"

Arthur was waiting for his flight when he opened his bag and saw the picture he had taken with him. Phillipa was smiling, showing the true hapiness in her birthday. He smiled remembering those days, when is cell phone rang on his pocket.

"Eames, is everything alright?"

"Yes darling. When you'll be back?"

"Soon. How is she?"

"Doing well. She started to study for a test from university... I can't remember now"

"Dom came to Italy, to talk to me"

"I knew it! He asked you to stay with her, bla bla. Am I right?"

"Yes, you're right. I have to go"

"When you put a foot out of the airport, I want you here. We need to talk"

"I know"

"It was uncle Arthur, daddy?"

"Yes, he's coming. Time to sleep princess"

"But I want to be awake when he-"

"You studied a lot today, and you need to rest now. Besides, you are going with him tomorrow"

I sighed. He was right. I did never let my eyes leave from the books during the day.

"Good night dad"

"Good night sweetie"

I walked to my new dad's room and fall asleep inmmediatly. Finally, I felt a kind of relief on my chest that night. I was going to start a new life with him, and my new daddy Eames. A new life on Paris. But my head was on the admission test and my future. I could forget everything about Dom Cobb that night, and sleep calmly.

"Welcome back Arthie. How was that job?"

"Good, it was easy enough"

"Philli is sleeping now. What did Dom tell you?"

"Everything, the same as Phillipa said to us. He's really sad"

"When he came here, he almost slapped her"

"But-why, how-?"

"They started to argue, so I wanted to help, and he shut me. She cry to him to not talk me like that and he just almost slapped her"

"What did she said?"

"Here comes the worst part. She said that she wanted to jump from a window like Mal. And later, she said that he wasn't her father anymore"

"Dom said to me something like that"

"She is calling me 'dad'"

"Really?"

"Are you going to take her now?"

"No, I'll coming for her in the morning, let her sleep"

"What are you going to do? Do you think you can handle this?"

"I have to. Dom made me promissed him that I'll take care of her"

"The bastard thinks that I'm not good for her!"

"Eames... I just want to be away from her as much as I can. I don't want to hurt her"

"You will if you step away from her. She loves you"

"And I love her"
