Zack POV:

 I can feel her start to shake underneath my hands. “I’m sorry that I was so weak, I didn’t have anyone, I wasn’t thinking clearly, I forgot I had two lives depending on me. It was too much pressure.”

“It’s ok, I wasn’t there to help you” I was upset I never got to see or hold him, but I wasn’t gonna blame Lucy for it, she was alone.

“The only reason I didn’t try again was of Sunday, I couldn’t take her life and when she was born, I realized I couldn’t leave her without her mother when her father wasn’t in her life anyway.” To hear Lucy admit this caused tears to come to my eyes.

“I love you” I whisper as I pull her close to me and wrap my arms around her lacing our hands together. I kiss the tears from her face.  She gets up and carefully places all the photos back on the dresser.  I pull her back to the bed when she stands staring at the photos too long.  “I hear you have another tattoo” I say teasing her, pulling her back to the bed.  “Yea would you like to see them?” she giggles “I have three more”

“Three! Abby said you had two total”

“No one really knows about the other two” I have her pinned under me and she’s smiling up at me with love in her eyes.  I kiss her suddenly and her tattoos soon forgotten.  I fall asleep singing “Remembering Sunday” in her ear softly as she slept.  She looks so peaceful curled against me.  I’m never letting her go again. I wake up around 2 in the morning.  I have to make sure it’s not a dream and that I have them. I slip on pants and walk into Sunday’s room and she’s curled up on her bed.  I walk over to her and kneel down. I stroke her head and go to get up when I hear a little voice.

“Daddy?” She refuses to call me anything else and it makes me so happy.

“I’m here, what’s wrong?”

“Are you leaving?”

“Do you love Mommy?”

“I love Mommy very much and I love you too”

“You won’t ever hurt Mommy right?”

“I would never hurt Mommy.  Why does someone hurt Mommy?”

“I don’t know.  She cries when she thinks I’m asleep and she doesn’t wear a smile much”

“Mommy won’t cry anymore I promise”

I leave her room after kissing her forehead.  I crawl back into bed with Lucy.  I pull her close and wrap both arms around her.  “I’m here forever I promise.  You’ll never be without me again” I whisper into her hair as tears leave my eyes and I slip into sleep.  Lucy wakes me up in the morning. “Hey sleepy head want some breakfast?” I climb out of bed and she gives me a questioning look “When did you pit on sweats?”

“I went to check on Sunday last night, wanted to make sure it wasn’t a dream” She nods and puts on her sweats from last night. We make our way downstairs into the kitchen. “Wow!” I’m stunned.

“I know I picked this house for the kitchen, a chef used to live her and cooking shows constantly call to see if they can shoot here”

“I can see why” She pulls out a ton of different ingredients. 

“How does red velvet pancakes sound?” I stare in surprise and nod my head. She starts making a ton of pancakes the size of a plate.  She sets me up to make an icing instead of syrup. Sunday walks into the kitchen in shorts and a shirt that reads “The angel from your nightmare” with and arrow pointing at her. “Good Morning” Lucy says and Sunday runs to hug her mom. When I see the back of Sunday’s shirt I start laughing. It’s the Blink-182 logo and the front suddenly makes sense. Sunday comes and sits in my lap at the breakfast bar and begins eating her pancakes.  “The boys are gonna be sooo jealous” she snaps a picture of a pile of cooked pancakes “@Zackalltimelow, Breakfast is ready”
