Danny's encounter

"is she awake?"

This causes me to wake up. Although I keep my eyes closed listening.

" no she fell asleep about 3 hours ago."

I feel fingers stroking through my hair causing shivers down my spine.

" So is she going to live in your shirts and her yogas forever?" I assume its Louis talking. footsteps come to the side of the bed I'm on.

" No, I'm going to go shopping. Will you keep a eye on her?"

" of course."

I feel the arm that was wrapped around me get removed and the bed lifts up as harry gets out of it.

" She's so beautiful." Harry says.

" She is, she has such a striking resemblance to her dad to. "

"Ya, come on."

I hear them leave the room and shut the door. I gradually sit up and stretch.

do I really look like my dad?

I wouldn't know. I barely remember him, and aunt Lydia doesn't keep any pictures of my parents in the house. There's only one picture of my mother which sets on the 'picture bookcase.'

I lay back down and stare at the ceiling. I wonder if my dad is really still alive. .. I wonder if he thinks about me and Danny...

" Good morning baby girl!!!"

I look up at the beautiful women's face. Seeing her instantly making me happy.

" mummy mummy!!!"

She picks me up and begins singing to me, twirling me about the room. A male figure appears in the door. His face is unreadable.

" Emilia, I have to go out for the day, I was hoping you would join me. we could call the babysitter to watch the kids."

" James its Madeleines birthday. We cant just leave her. Where are you going anyway?"

The sweet sound of my mothers voice flows through my ears.

"I... I need to run some errands. Please come with me. I was thinking you could get your hair colored like you've been wanting to while I'm in the office."

" oh so your going to blow off your daughters birthday for the office?"

"its not like that Emilia."

i watched as he walked closer holding his arms out to hold me but my mother pulled me closer to her..

" Of course its not. your just going to go out for what you say is a little while which turns out to be the whole day and you don't get back till a ungodly time at night. Do you even care about your daughter James? "

"of course I do!" he said raising his voice.

He was growing frustrated.

"fine,  im leaving. I will be home later."

he kisses me on the head then moves to kiss my mother but she pulls away. He just looks at her before walking out of the room. my mother lays me down on the changing table.

" I'm sorry Madeleine. I'm sorry your father wont be with us today. On Christmas but most importantly your birthday." I saw a  tear roll down her face and fall onto my nose. I place my hand on hers.

"its okay mummy.... it Will be okay...."

"Maddie?" I quickly sit up slamming my head against whoevers was there. I rub my hand against my fore head and look up at harry. Concern is written all over his face.
