9. Tears

Porsche POV
I heard Juno shouting in her sleep. I and Kinn woke up instantly to check on her. She was sleeping but her words were so clear, "Don't kill me. Don't kill Poh and Pa. Poh. Pa. Save me. Poh, are you fine?" She had tears coming down her cheeks. Then after that, she sprung up. She started crying. Kinn hugged her and tried to put her to sleep. She did sleep but she looked troubled. I hope she gets good sleep tonight.

After some time she woke up again. And this time she did not stop crying. She was scared the whole time and did not want to go back to sleep this time. She clung to us the whole time. She made sure her parents are with her. Maybe she was having the nightmare again and again. It broke me to see her this way. Juno is a naughty and happy child. Or maybe she was. I did not want that to happen. I wish the old Juno still existed. But I know it is too early to say that. The tears fell from my eyes without me knowing and then I noticed Kinn's tears.

We went down for a walk. Juno had calmed down but refused to go back to sleep. We kept walking with Juno in my arms. Kinn then started storytelling. He started telling stories about us. He started describing every moment of our happiness, our fight. He also told her about the times when we were happy by the little milestones Juno made all these years. Juno slept because of Kinn's storytelling. I put Juno back on the bed and we both sat by the window on a sofa.

Kinn's POV

When we both sat down, I remembered the tears that we had in our eyes earlier. I just knew that the three of us needed time to heal. I knew it was going to take a lot of time. "Today was horrible," said Porsche. "Hmm. It was. I did not expect her to cry so much. I felt at loss and felt like we have failed to be good parents." We looked into each other's eyes. It gave strength to me. Porsche's determination and love were enough to give me the strength to conquer anything in this world. Then I looked at Juno. She was another reason for me to keep going. I wanted to make sure that she does not become Tankhun and is able to be the naughty yet brave Juno that we all have seen. I want to make sure it works well.
