Hope's POV
I shot awake in the middle of the night from a nightmare, tears were rolling down my cheeks. I tried to get up but the nightmare flashed in my head, making me whimper in fear.....daddy must of heard me because he rushed into my room, hugging me tightly. "What's wrong princess?" He asked. "I had a nightmare........that my real parents came back....and they...t-they killed you and u-uncle Moki and A-Angel..then m-m-me.." I whimper then started to sob quietly. Daddy hugs me close rubbing my back. "They won't kill me, Moki, Angel, or you.....I'll protect you, I promise." He soothed and I soon fell back asleep, and daddy stayed there the whole time......keeping the nightmares away.
Seto's POV
I look at the sleeping form of my daughter, and kiss her head. I stayed up with her all night to make sure she didn't have any nightmares again but it took a toll on me. She woke up and got worried, seeing I was very tired. "Daddy, you need sleep." She told me but I shook my head no. "I'll be ok princess." I say but she grabbed my hand gently. "Please sleep daddy....I'm worried for you." She whimpered. I sigh and nod as I lay down, holding her close to me. I soon fell asleep, and so did Hope....not letting each other go.
Hours later
I wake up and look at the time, it was 2:30 in the afternoon. I then look at Hope and smile, seeing her still asleep in my arms. These moment with Hope and I.....are special, I have moments with Angel but they aren't as beautiful. It's like Hope has a connection with me, a deep one....we always know what we are going to say, have similar interests, and we always make each other smile. She's just a perfect daughter to have, but I wonder why her parents threw her out....besides the fact that she didn't have interests with theirs.....I don't want to ask her because I'm afraid she will cry doing so. I stroke her beautiful blonde hair, and she smiled liking the feeling. I might take her out to eat today, but I'll have to check to see if she wants to go, yet I have this feeling she will be very excited. She then woke up looking at me. "Daddy? What time is it?" She asked and I look at the time. "2:40." I tell her and she yawns, sitting up. "We slept that long? Wow.." She was a bit surprised about how long we slept. "Hey, would you like to go out to eat today?" I ask her, and she looked at me. Oh no....is she gonna say no? "Sure, sounds like fun daddy!" She beamed making me smile. "Great, when do you want to go?" I ask her. She thinks for a moment. "How about at 5?" She suggested and I nod, agreeing. "Sounds like a plan, but first, you need to get dressed." I say, getting up then left the room, going into my own. I soon got dressed and walked out, and saw Hope in a beautiful light blue sundress. "You look beautiful my little princess." I said kissing her head. "Thank you daddy." She giggled sweetly.
