  "Daddy! Mommy!" Sarah's cry alarmed me. 

  I looked over at Y/N who was feeding Elizabeth. "I'll go take a look, you stay here." I ordered before leaving our bedroom. I walked into Sarah's room and saw that she had kicked all her blankets off. 

"Sarah? Is everything alright?" I asked her. 

"No I feel hot but I'm really cold at the same time!" She cried, tears streaming down her face. 

 Oh no, I think she has the flu. I thought to myself.

  "Hold on Sarah just stay here." I ran out of her room and down the stairs where I ran into Maria in the kitchen. 

"What's wrong with Sarah?" 

  I grabbed a small rag and pulled a leather canteen out and poured water on the rag. 

"She's sick!" I shouted as I ran up the stairs. I reached Sarah's room and placed the towel on top of her head. 

Y/N walked in the room holding a sleeping Elizabeth in her arms, she was wrapped in a small white blanket. Maria came in next with a concerned look on her face. 

"It's gonna be okay Sarah we'll get you a doctor, he'll take care of you." I said, in a frantic panic to try and calm her down. 

"Sam we don't have the money." Y/N said in a hushed whisper. 

"I'll go into town and find a few jobs! She'll die!" I shouted, tears streaming down my face. Maria rested her face in Y/N's chest. I could hear her soft cries as she discovered what fate her sister might have. 

"Daddy? Am I going to die?" Sarah asked me. 

I turned to her and held her soft delicate hand. 

"No you're not Sarah, I promise. You're going to live for many more years," I vowed. 

I shouldn't have let her come outside with me, we don't have the money to buy her a coat. If only we had the money, she wouldn't have gotten sick. 

"Mommy? Can you tell me a story of you and Daddy?" Sarah asked her. 

"Yes of course Sarah," Y/N turned to me and gently handed me a sleeping Elizabeth. She silently stirred but luckily didn't wake up and start crying. 

"Come on Maria, I'll put you to bed." Maria followed me out into the next room over which was her room. Maria climbed into bed and I held Elizabeth close to my chest with one arm while the other arm helped her pull the blankets over her body. 

"Is Sarah going to be okay?" She asked me. 

"I'm going to do everything in my power to help her, I promise." I was able to keep that promise. I kept the promise in trying to help her. But my help didn't make her any better. 

"Can you tell me a story of Baylee?" Maria asked me. 

"Yes of course," I replied. I pulled our small wooden rocking chair out of a corner of the room and sat down, still holding Elizabeth close. 


  "Sam! Come play with me!" Baylee cheered. 

  I looked at my Father who was passed out on the floor, an empty bottle of whiskey in his left hand. "Okay Baylee, what do you want to play?" I asked her, a smile growing on my face. I loved seeing her smile, it meant she was happy. Baylee's happiness was all that mattered right now. 

Baylee held out a small brown teddy bear to me. "Who's this?" I asked, a smile on my face. 

"This is Mr Snuggle Muffins! I want you to have him!" She said, shoving the stuffed bear in my face. I laughed. 

"Okay Baylee, I'll keep him," I looked at the bear's sewn in black eyes. 

"Hello Mr Snuggle Muffins, what are we going to do today?" I asked him. 

"Hello Sam, we're going to have a tea party!" I heard Baylee say in a silly voice. 

"That sounds like a great idea! But be careful, there's a sleeping dragon we can't wake up!" I replied, hence my father. 

"We can be adventurers to get the tea! Come on!" Mr Snuggle Muffins said to me. I nodded and we walked out of Baylee's room and snuck past my father. 

  We walked outside into the forest where a little table with three cups was set up. 

"Is this for us?" I asked. 

"Yes of course! Anything for Baylee's older brother!" Mr Snuggle Muffins spoke, I smiled at Baylee's creativity. 

Baylee set Mr Snuggle Muffins down on one of the pillows and I sat on the one next to him. We formed a little triangle in our seating arrangement, Baylee was seated across from me. She grabbed a small blue and white tea pot which once belonged to our mother. She poured some liquid in each of our cups. I lifted up the small tea cup for myself. 

"A toast!" Baylee cheered. We tapped our cups together and then helped Mr Snuggle Muffins do the same. We then all drunk our tea which actually turned out to be water. I don't blame Baylee, we didn't have the money for tea since my Father spent it all on alcohol. I sipped at my water and had a pleasant conversation with Baylee and Mr Snuggle Muffins. 

"Sam! Baylee! Get inside now!" I heard my father shout. Baylee and I slowly stood up and held each other's hands as we slowly walked back over to our house, not caring about Mr Snuggle Muffins. We looked down in fear, I could already tell by the tone of my father's voice that he was angry. 

"Look up at me when I'm talking to you!" He shouted. I slowly lifted my head and held it high, locking eyes with him. He flew his hand and slapped my face, hard. I didn't let myself cry but I could feel Baylee wince beside me. 

My father looked down at Baylee and grabbed her arm, pulling her away from me with a strong grip. She cried in pain as he dragged her down to the basement. 

"You're sleeping outside tonight Sam! If I find you inside I'll do worse to Baylee!" He said before slamming the basement door shut. I knew what he would do to Baylee, it was worse than a beating. Tears rolled down my face as I walked outside and back to the table where we were. I picked up Mr Snuggle Muffins and climbed up a thick tree. I sat down on one of the branches and held Mr Snuggle Muffins close as I cried myself to sleep. 

"And that's the end to that story." I told Maria, looking over I noticed she was asleep. I smiled and walked back into Y/N and I's room, setting Elizabeth in her crib. I looked over and noticed she was sleeping with Mr Snuggle Muffins. I smiled warmly at the sight. I pulled the blankets over Elizabeth and walked over to my own bed. I climbed into bed. About ten maybe twenty minutes passed and Y/N finally came back into the room and climbed into bed. She curled up in front of me and I wrapped my arms around her waist and locked our legs together. 

"I love you." I whispered. 

"I love you too,"
