Paradise

"Elizabeth!" I hiss, she looks up and nods, "stop being so grosseiro!"

Aaliayh shoots her head up, "Pare! Ela é sua filha!"

"Desculpa, but she's my child and I parent her how Echo would have!" I say, quietening down at the last bit.

Aaliyah sighs and turns back to Matt, I look away quickly. I miss Echo, so much. Nobody understands me, nobody. Not even the people who I trust dearly.

Elizabeth clutches my hand, I pick her up and she buries her head in the crook of my neck, just like Echo would. Elizabeth looks like me but has Echo's long, blond hair.

"I miss Mommy," Elizabeth murmurs.

"I miss her too darling,"

"Daddy, when can we see Mommy again?" Elizabeth asks, her eyes widening slightly.

"Soon, Lilibet, soon. Are you tired?" She nods, "you can sleep Elizabeth." I nod to Aaliyah and Matt and take her up to her baby blue room.

"Papa, o que aconteceu com you and Mommy? Do you not ame her anymore.?" She asked, pulling her duvet up to her nose. Her words injured me as much as Echo leaving did.

"Of course I loved her, Hun, it, just we had a little argument, that's all," I smile nervously.

"What about, Papa?" She asks, hastily wiping her blonde hair out of her eyes.

"Well," I pause. How can i put 'because of you' into a child-friendly way? "Adult things." I add.

"Está bem. Boa noite papa ." She replied sleepily, closing her chocolate eyes.

"Goodnight, darling."

I know this is short af but, oh well!
