"Goldenheart Histories"

Between dreams and nightmares

(AU of the movie, the main couple is ordinary, Ambrosius suffers consequences from the incident with his partner)

- Ambrosius narrates -

I admit that since the day we got married, I have been the happiest man in the world, we have gone through many events and adventures, but now we are entering the biggest one yet.

After some time and all the necessary procedures, we decided to adopt a baby; we met her in an orphanage, her caregivers told us that she was barely a month old, but at the moment we saw her we knew she was our daughter, and when we held her in our hands everything made sense to us.

We named her Nimona and when we took her home our lives became much sweeter. We only have a few months with our new routine, of course it was a bit of a challenge at times, but Ballister offered to stay home full time to take care of our daughter while I did my best at my job.

- I'm home- I opened the door and there were my beloved husband and daughter-

- Welcome home, Nimona miss you a lot - It was right, since she immediately asked me to carry her -

- Wow, I can tell you really missed me, come here little one - after a long day, holding my baby made all that effort worth it -

- You had a long day, right?

- Ugh yes, as always lately - there he was again looking at me with some compassion - hey, you know I do it for both of you, I would like to spend more time together but now we are a family, and for now it's my turn to work for both people what I love most in the world.

- ...Heh, well... when you put it like that, it makes me feel a little better - he kissed my cheek and then directed us to the table - prepare Nimona and you take a seat, I prepare your favorite for dinner.

- ...You are the best dear.

At times like this, I feel very lucky to have him as my husband, he is the kindest and most compassionate person I have ever met, and I really would like to spend all the time I have with them, but sometimes I find it frustrating that I can't do it, but the tiredness dominated me every day, and for this reason I am very grateful to my husband for his support and collaboration, work consumes me but still every day I have a single moment in which we can all spend together.

That moment was bedtime, for being a baby Nimona always waited for me awake, Ballister struggled to get her to fall asleep but the only way for it to happen is for us to be all together in the room, the little one must be between us drinking a feeding bottle while we read her a story, at first we did it from time to time, but then it became necessary, since Nimona always woke up crying for our attention, we may spoil her a little, but I wouldn't change that moment anything in the world, and at the end it seems it's almost time.

- Hmm? Are you sleepy little one? - she simply gave a big yawn - I'll take that as a yes, are you coming Bal?

- Sure, go ahead and make yourself comfortable, her bottle will be ready in a few minutes.

We listened to him and within minutes he was accompanying us, with the baby between us, Bal chose a book and began to read, while he recited it I just dedicated myself to enjoying the moment, my husband's sweet voice, the softness of the bed, the cool breeze from the window and the adorable image of my daughter... created a setting that was simply perfect.

- ... And everyone lived happily ever after - with the story finished Nimona was already asleep - Heh, it always works... and apparently it works for you too.
