A bed time story

004 looked over his book that he was reading and saw that Luna was up. He raised his eyebrow and looked at the young cyborg. She seemed to be lost in something when she looked up and saw him she smiled and reached for to be picked up. The elder cyborg could help himself he did what the girl asked and sat her on his lap. He looked into her eyes and asked.

"What are you doing up at 11'oclock at night?"

"She woke up from a bad dream, so we had to come down here and get some milk." Stated a voice from behind. He looked up and saw zodiac 4 looking down at him and the little cyborg.

"Hum, so that's what happened."

"I could ask you the same question you know shouldn't you be asleep too?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I thought I would read for a little while."

"Read me, read me, daddy read me." Stated the young cyborg.

004 looked over to zodiac 4 for a translation, he could tell that she was holding back a laugh. She smiled and to him.

"She wants you to read her a bed time story."

"Mummy you too." That made 004 want to laugh also.

"Ok, Luna I will let's see what book do you want daddy to read to you?"

" Beauty and the Beast." Was the answer form the 4 year old.

"Ok." Replied Helen as she went to the book self and got out a children's book of fairy tales.

"Ok, you start off daddy." Said Luna who moved over to sit in the middle of the couch so she could sit between Helen and 004.

"Ok, Once upon a time there was a selfish prince…"

When the book was done the young cyborg was fast asleep. Helen got to the part and said:

"They lived happy ever after."

"She down." Stated 004 who was holding the young cyborg.

"Good now we both can go back to sleep." Replied Helen who was putting the book back.

"You know that she'll probably try this again…"

"I know it seems that we must read to her at her bed time."

004 nodded and helped Helen walk to the room she shared with Luna. They put to her to bed, 004 kissed her good night and so did Helen. Then she walked 004 out into the hallway, she smiled and said:

"Thank you for helping me put her to bed."

"No problem, besides I like to read."

"But I notice that you don't like reading out loud I should of stop and took Luna away."

"It's ok, I liked it."

She nodded and before she could turn away she felt his arms got around her and then turn her around to face him. She then felt warm lips come to hers. She kissed backed, she liked this. His lips weren't hard nor soft just in the middle. She could stay in his arms forever. Then she stopped he breathing was getting harder, she looked up at the man and said.

"No, I'm sorry 004 I can't." 004 nodded, he knew what she meant he sometimes missed Helga with all his heart. He knew that she wanted him to move on to some else, but he knew also that he should take his time with zodiac 4 she was like him, still hurting from loss but in time maybe they would find love together.

End of chapter

I know a little sad, but I promise the next chapter will be a little bit more upbeat.
