Rachel's POV


"So, what did he do?"  Ella asked.


"It was a long time ago."  I started.  "Before the apocalypse."


10 Years Ago


"Again?"  I complained on the phone to my husband.


"I'm sorry."  He told me over the phone.  "But I know I'm getting close, I just need to spend a few more late nights."


"Blake misses you."  I told him.  "He's been waiting for you to come home."


"I'm sorry, but I really got to keep working on this."  He said.


"Ok, I lo..."  I stopped when I realized he hung up.


I hung up the phone before walking to Blake's room.  I notice the door is opened a crack and when I look in I see him sitting up in his bed awake.  I walk in and sit on the end of his bed.


"Is daddy home?"  My 6 year old son asked me.


"I'm sorry honey, but he has to work late."  When I told him that I watched his smile drop into a frown.


"He's always working."  He pouted.


"I wish he was here too."  I told him as I kiss his forehead.


"Can you sing to me?"  Blake asked me with puppy dog eyes.


I smiled at him before I started singing to him.


'I've never felt this strong

I'm invincible, how could this go wrong

No, here, here's where we belong

I see a road ahead

I never thought I would dare to tread


Like an image passing by

My love, my life

In the mirror of your eyes

My love, my life

I can see it all so clearly

All I love so dearly


Images passing by

Like reflections of your mind

My love, my life

Are the words I try to find

My love, my life

But I know I don't possess you
