-Chris's POV-

I yawned the whole drive home.
It was around midnight and as usual I was driving home from a long day of work in the studio.
Studio work always is stressful but with this wedding coming up I have never felt more shit in my life.
My whole life is just deadline after deadline.
I tiredly walked up to the front door and unlocked it to be surprised with the living room lamp still left on.
Emily doesn't normally stay up late.
I peeped my head over the sofa to see Christa fast asleep on the sofa.
I dropped my bag from my aching back and stiffly wandered over to her.
I sat next to her and took my boots off when I placed my hand on her cheek.
She frowned and her eyes flickered open.
"D-dad?" She whispered,
"Hey sweet pea has Emily forgot to put you to bed?"
"No she's showering we got in late" she yawned.
"You want me to carry you to bed?"
She nodded and fell back asleep.
"Alright, I gotcha" I said picking her up.
I tucked her in and kissed her forehead,
"Goodnight darling"

I left the room quietly to hear the shower running.
I grinned and took my shirt off and headed into the steamy room.
My smile faded when I saw Emily scrubbing her arms with scar cream.
She was curled in the tub in tears.
I kneeled down.
"Baby! Baby what are you doing?" I said softly shaking my head.
She gripped onto my arms.
"I- I want them gone, i w-want them to fade away" she cried.
"Your scars? Darling it's just skin, okay shhh, calm down" I cooed.
"I looked awful in the dress, it was perfect but my arms they-
"It's just skin, listen to me okay? It's just skin." I wiped her tears with my thumb.
"It's just- how can I ever be a role model for her when I have arms like these" she whispered tears streaming down her cheeks,
"Your a perfect role model don't ever say that, come here" I brung her close, her cheek against my chest,
"I'm sorry" she yawned
"Your okay"
"Is Christa okay- oh god I forgot to put her to bed-
"Shh, it's fine, I got it"
She sighed, "I'm sorry, that was my job"
"It's fine, I don't mind"
"How was work?"
"stressful" he sighed resting his head against the bathroom wall as they both sat on the floor.
"Try not to wear yourself out okay?"
"I'll try"
She kissed me, "I love you"
"I love you more"
