Chris returned home later than usual.
Sadness in his eyes as he stumbled in from a long day of walking.
Emily lay passed out on the sofa.
Chris passed her peaceful frame giving her a quick glance before getting startled by his child sitting on the kitchen floor colouring in pictures that she drew with crayon.
"Fuck you gave me a fright" he said quietly closing the kitchen door.
"Where did you go?"
"Shouldn't you be in bed, it's way past your bedtime" he sighed sitting at the breakfast table, putting both his hands through his hair.
"I wanted to wait for you, I was scared you wouldn't come back"
"Why, what's it to you?"
"Your my daddy"
Chris's eyes seemed more awake at the realisation.
He looked over at her.
"What's that you've been doing"
"Drawing"
"Let me see them, come here" he yawned.
He took the papers from her and looked through them.
"You got my tattoo colours wrong"
"Wha?!" She grabbed them.
"It's green isn't it?!" She frowned.
"I'm joking silly monkey, I love them they're cool." He said tiredly.
"I should draw another one of you and ghost."
"Maybe tomorrow, I should put you to bed"
"But aren't you staying up?"
"Yeah, don't think I'm gonna sleep tonight to be honest"
"Then I shall stay up" she smiled.
"Nope, you need your beauty sleep"
"So do you"
"Yes but I'm the adult"
"Please?"
"Why?"
"C-cause I don't want you to be lonely, a-and I haven't spoken to you all day" she blushed.
He sighed.
"Alright, but we gotta be quiet cause Em is asleep."
She smiled.
"Why don't you teach me how to draw" he suggested.
She patted a spot on the floor next to her,
"Okay just follow what I do" she grinned.
Chris nodded playing along tiredly.
Nodding and taking in every word she spoke.
Time had passed and Chris was also my falling asleep by the time they were done.
"Well I guess mine isn't as good as yours but not bad for my first try" he sat back, him leaning against the kitchen drawers.
"I think they are pretty."
He smiled as his eyes begun to close as he fell from consciousness.
"Also I like to sign it with a star at the bottom, you could do that too-
She looked over to see him fast asleep,
She smiled moving the crayons away from them both and she curled up on his lap.
She unzipped his hoodie and snuggled in it.
Her head resting against his collar bone.
She knew Emily and him were going through a rough patch.
And she felt like she was the single thread keeping them together.
