Josephine's pov

I saw John in a suit with Mummy walking up the aisle in a beautiful white dress. I watched as she joined hands with him at the alter smiling happily. With a guy behind them holding a black book.

"No!", I screamed as the guy behind them began to talk, "no! Don't do it Mummy! Don't leave! Don't-", someone then grabbed my arm as I tried to run off.

"It's alright Josie. It will all be alright", His voice calmed me making me stop. I then turned round to see Jack. My father. He just softly smiled at me before I rushed into his arms. He then tightly hugged me giving me a kiss, "it'll be alright Josie. John is a good man. He'll take good care of you and Mummy", he stroked my face.

"But what about you?", I asked.

"I'll always be here. I'll always watch over you two"

"But aren't you sad?", I asked him as I looked into my eyes that I got from him.

"No. I'm happy that you're happy and that you're safe", he kissed my forehead and hugged me again. I then slowly faded out knowing that I was safe in his arms.

"Daddy", I woke up to see him kneeling beside me holding and stroking me hand.

"Hi Josephine", he smiled gently.I then pounced into his arms and hugged him tighter than I did in my dream before. I then began to cry, "shhhhhh. It's ok. It's ok Josephine. It's alright. I'm here. I'm here Joe", I pulled back and wiped my tears from my eyes, "who's my big girl huh", he helped me. I then choked a smile for him hiding my pain, "Oh come here Josephine", he pulled me into his arms again. While I began to cry knowing that he is real. That this is real. That that was him who I saw when I was a baby. The more I focused on the memory the more it came clear to me.

"It was you. It was all you. You helped me stop crying", he then began happily smiling bobbing his head, "and you showed me that dream"

"I figured that you I couldn't leave you"

"Then don't! Daddy please don't go. Don't leave me!", I protested to him. He just laughed.

"You know I'll never leave. John will take good care of you. He loves you. He will do all the stuff I want to do with you"

"Like what?", I sat up on the bed.

"Like horse riding. Like you and Mummy did on the beach in the surf a few weeks ago. That was my idea"

"It was?", I questioned.

"Ahmmm. Mummy promised me. And she never breaks her promises does she?"

"Nah ha", I shook my head.

"You're very cheeky and beautiful you know that", he commented.

"Mummy says I get it from you", I twirled my hair.

"Nah Ah!", he quoted me rubbing it in my face. He then began tickling me.

"Daddy stop it", be pretended to bite me, "Daddy stop. I want to draw!  I want to draw!", I yelled. He then stopped and looked at me. I then sat myself up, "can you pass me my portfolio please?", I pointed to the cupboard, "it should be in there", he searched through all the stuff finding it in the mix of my dresses. He then sat next to me in bed and we snuggled together helping each other draw having fun.

Georges Pov

After putting Josephine to bed I did all the chores before sitting down at the table sitting blankly. The only thing I can hear is the clock ticking and the coin I'm flicking on the table. I then heard a polite knock on the door. That must be Rose. I assumed. I then began to write as the footsteps got louder and louder till I looked up.
