Plot: Melissa [their daughter] is so curious at her mom Merida about her dad.

Don't blame me when you cry, okay? Haha

Merida

Me and my daughter are inside the park, and there's a slide, seesaw, swing, and monkey bars for her to play on.

But instead, she's just sitting beside me on the bench. I understand that she's already 10, but she still have some time to play childishly.

"Melissa, I thought we went here for you to play." I told her, looking at the seesaw slight movement.

"Iam playing." She responded. I took a glance at her, and realized that she's playing her phone. Kids these days...

I sighed and looked at the other direction.

**ackward silence**

"Mom..." Melissa called me. I looked at her, and she's done playing with her phone.

"Yeah?" I responded.

"Where's dad?" She suddenly asked.

Tears formed in my eyes, but I held it back. I don't wanna cry in front of my daughter. It will break for heart.

I remembered the time that... he died...

**flashback**

"Hiccup!!" I rushed into him, while he's lying on the stretcher and got rushed by the stretchers to the hospital room.

It was the day that I'm 4 months pregnant at Melissa and Hiccup is the father. But this isn't the right time for him to give up his life.

He had a weak heart, but he's a survivor... until now. "Merida..." He whispered faintly.

"Hiccup..." I held his hand and sat on the side of the bed, where he's now lying down.

"Mer, I'm sorry, I can't make it..." He said weakly.

"No no no. Don't go away, Hic. Don't give up to easily." I told him.

"I tried to survive, Merida. I've been operated a hundred times, but now, I don't think I can make it. I can't cause you more trouble, like, paying the bills here in the hospital because of my disease." He told me weakly.

I sobbed and tears starts to fall down. "Hiccup... don't..." I said.

"Sorry, Merida. I can't live anymore... please... take care of our daughter and live for me." He said, tears falling down to his pillow too.

I sobbed. "This is so unfair, Hic. Yer such a good husband, and ye don't deserve this... disease..." I cried myself out.

He smiled slightly. "I know, but before I die, you must know... that I always love you." He stated, getting weaker.

I smiled, while sobbing. "Aye love ye too..." I stated between sobs.

"Remember... that I'm always alive in your heart..." He said weakly, as his eyes closed slowly and gave up his life.

I sobbed harder, and his funeral is the last day I saw him.

**end of flashback**

I stared at Melissa, and her straight but red hair, and her green but round eyes reminds me of Hiccup.

"He's in the good place now, Melissa." I told her.

"Where? Paris? London?" She asked.

I chuckled and shook my head. "No. He's in the heaven, Melissa." I told her.

"So... dad died, huh?" Melissa asked me and I nodded.

"What does dad look like?" She asked.

"He had brown shaggy hair, and green eyes. He might be a weak-hearted nerd for the other people, but he's warm-hearted guy for me." I answered.

"You know, mom, I bet dad looks handsome when he's still alive." She told me.

I smiled at her statement.

"Yes, he is, Melissa."
