Never Alone (Phan AU)

"Phil all I'm trying to say is that maybe if we changed a few things-" I started, following my husband as he walked to the kitchen.

It's been 4 years since we bought this house. Things were going okay. The house has been fixed up the way we wanted it and it looks great. The kids were in school and getting their education and Phil and I were happy. 

"Change what, Dan? Haven't we changed a lot?" Phil turns, moving his arms. 

"No, we have, it's just I thought maybe we could move closer to family?" I suggested for the second time. 

"Danny, we've spend so long on this house. This is what you dreamed for, what we worked for. You want to just move back?" Phil scoffs, shaking his head lightly.

"No, I'm just saying," I start, but I don't know how to finish, "Don't you want to be closer to family?" 

"Why, Dan?" Phil asks after pouring a drink. 

"I, never mind. I don't care anymore," I say, shaking my head as he tips his glass.

Phil stops what he's doing and looks at the cup, frowning, then looking up at me. he knows I hate that. I turn around and walk to the stairs so I can go to the office. I hear the cup being put down and Phil grabs my hand, lacing his fingers through my fingers. We have music playing, we always have music playing. I still can't stand the silence. 

He puts his hands on my waist, swaying me lightly. I let out a breath and I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing him lightly. We stood there, dancing to whatever song we had playing. Just the two of us with the mere background noise. 

"I'm sorry, Danny. I know things have been tough lately, but I'm trying to make things perfect." Phil says quietly. 

"I don't want perfect, Phil. I just want you and the kids." I said, laying my head on Phil's chest as he held me close. 

Phil and I stayed like that, swaying to our music. I've been thinking a lot lately. Mostly about why I had a craving to go back home. I can't be sure on the reason, but I know that seeing Phil with that cup in his hand sent shivers down my spine.

"What's wrong, love?" Phil asks, running a hand through my hair.

"It still hurts remembering the past, Phil. I'm still remembering everything and I want everything to change," I say, holding Phil closer. "Keep me safe, Philly."

"Let's keep each other safe from the world," He says, kissing the top of my head.

I moved back a bit, grabbing his hand and walking up the stairs with him, turning the corner to our room. I walked quietly, laying down and pulling Phil with me. He looked confused, but I lied down and brought Phil with me. I cuddled into his chest, taking in his scent. He still smelt like black licorice, and that made me smile. 

"Let's be lucky people, Phil." I say and felt his grip on me tighten.

"We are lucky people, Dan." Phil says, kissing my head.

"Daddy? Dad?" I hear a voice say, then feel hands on me as I'm shaken.

"Hmm, hi Trin," I say and smile, untangling myself from Phil and hugging Trinity.

"Hi Daddy. How long have you two been asleep?" She asks, looking at her dad. 

"No clue. Did you pick up your brother too?" I ask and she nods. 

"Tyler's here. Can she spend the night?" She asks.
