The next picture was a picture of Alice and Lily in front of their new home. They we're hugging each other and smiling broadly.
Caption: Danny"if one boy asks Lily or Alice on a date, especially Lily, I'm gonna—*gets hit on the head*—ow! Sam!" and that's the dialogue of an over protective father…
Flashback
"Okay, that's the last of it." Lily said as she and Alice finished putting her stuff into Alice's car.
"Are you sure, Lily?" Danny asked. Lily nodded before walking up to her parents and hugging them both.
"My baby girl's all grown up." Danny said making Sam nod in agreement.
"Make sure you and Alice take care of yourselves. Okay, Lily?" Sam said as she tucked a strand of Lily's hair behind her ear. Lily nodded before hugging Sam again.
"Remember what I said Lily: No dates during college." Danny said sternly making Sam and Lily roll their eyes.
"Don't worry dad. I won't." Lily said smiling.
"You girls study well. No late movie nights on weekdays and on exams." Sam said causing Lily and Alice to groan.
"I mean it."
"Fine." Lily grumbled. "So… this is it. But don't worry; I'll visit as soon as I get time." She said as she hugged her parents for the tenth time.
"We know, and you better or you're grounded." Danny said.
"How can you ground me when I'm a 2 hour drive from here?" Lily said smirking slightly.
"I have my ways, my dear." Danny said smiling innocently. Lily backed away from her dad slightly making Sam laugh.
"Okay dad… you're getting creepy. Well, I guess that happens when people get old." Lily said making Danny and Sam look at her with annoyed expressions.
"Not you guys! I mean, you guys get cooler every day! I… uh…. I think I should go now." Lily said while blushing making her parents laugh.
"Yes. Yes you should." Danny said. Lily and Alice made their way towards Alice's car.
"Ready to go, Lil?" Alice asked.
"Ready, Allie!" Lily said. Alice smiled before going inside the driver's seat of the car. Lily turned to her parents and waved before getting in the car herself. Danny and Sam watched as Alice honked the horn before driving off. After that, they went inside the house before Danny wrapped his arms around Sam's waist and kissed her neck.
"So, we have the house all to ourselves. What do you say we go do something 'fun'?" Danny said seductively as he trailed kisses on Sam's jaw line.
"Danny, you're just as perverted as Tucker was. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to make lunch." Sam said as she rolled her eyes before untangling herself from Danny and walking to the kitchen. Danny groaned before flopping down on the couch.
"You're no fun at all." Danny whined.
End Flashback
Danny laughed at that memory. After lunch, they got into a heavy make out session in their bedroom which led to "certain" things. When they were done, they proceeded downstairs and watched a movie while cuddling on the couch.
Danny sighed as he checked the clock. It read 7:00.
Might as well have dinner now. He thought as he got up and set the album on the table before walking in the kitchen and making dinner for himself. As he was eating a ham and cheese sandwich, his mind kept on wondering back to all those flashbacks that occurred the past few days. All those bitter-sweet memories which were hunting him only made him more depressed that he already was. Just as when he already got over the death of his beloved wife, these memories just had to come.
Danny shook his head before finishing his dinner and cleaning up. He then took the album from the coffee table and made his way towards his bedroom. He passed Lilith's and Aiden's rooms along the way. He stopped and looked at the two identical doors which were next to each other. He reached towards Aiden's door and turned the knob before pushing the door open.
Aiden's room was exactly the same since he left for college. Same dark blue wallpaper and wooden floor. His bed was still neatly made and his alarm clock was still ticking. Danny changed the batteries regularly. For what purpose? He doesn't know. He just likes too. The lights were off and the only source of light was the moonlight from the window. He could almost imagine Aiden sleeping peacefully in his bed like he always did when Danny decided to check on his children late at night. He looked to the right side of the room and saw the small bookshelf still slightly filled with the books Aiden decided to leave behind. He saw his desk and computer still sitting there. He was about to close the door when something shiny on Aiden's nightstand caught his eye. Curious, he decided to check it out. When he saw what it was, he felt tears form in his eyes but blinked them back. It was Aiden's toy rocket that he used to play with every day when he was a kid. Danny bought it for his third birthday and he hadn't left it ever since. Danny sighed before putting the toy down and making his way out of the room.
Danny shook his head before closing the door gently. He then proceeded to Lilith's door and opened it. Her room still looked the same as well. Same lavender wall, same white floor, same bed, same closet, same everything. Her bed was neatly folded and her clock was also still ticking. The posters of ghosts were still stuck to the wall as always. Her bookcase had only one book left. Curious, Danny decided to look at it. When he picked up the book, he felt tears prick his eyes threatening to fall yet again. It was the Cinderella book he and Sam would read to Lilith when she was still a kid. Back then it was shiny and new. Now, it was dusty and worn out. Danny let a single tear fall before placing the book back and going out the door and shutting it gently behind him.
He began to make his way towards his own bedroom. When he got there, he placed the album down gently on the nightstand and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. When he was done, he changed into his pajamas and climbed on the bed and pulling the covers on him. He glanced at the album one last time before closing the lights and going to sleep.
