George's POV
"Time for bed, Alli." I say after all the ice cream is finished.
She whines but begins to stand. She's been raised to be a good listener and well behaved child. I've Kara to thank for that. Allison again stand on the chair and hugs Kara.
Again she says,
"I love you Mommy."
This time, however, Kara's raspy voice offers a reply.
"I love you baby. Always. Don't forget that."
Allison beams at the response.
Kara pulls Allison forward and wraps her in another hug, giving her a multitude of kisses. They wave to each other as I lead Allison out of the room and towards her own bedroom. I help her into her pajamas and read her a bedtime story. I tuck her in and kiss her goodnight.
"I love you Daddy." She whispers as I turn off her light.
I walk back to her bed and kiss her forehead.
"I love you too princess." I say.
I leave her door open just a crack.
When I get back to my room I help Kara get settled for the night. I change out of my clothes and brush my teeth. I climb in bed. Kara reaches to me from her side. I lean over and hug her tight. I can tell she's using all her strength to hug me back.
"I love you always George Harrison." She says in her raspy voice.
"I love you always Kara Harrison." I tell her.
She gives me lots of kisses like she did with Allison. She ends with a long kiss on my lips. Her lips against mine still makes my heart flutter. When I pull back she's crying with a smile on her face. She puts a hand on my cheek and strokes her thumb across my skin.
"Thank you, George. For everything. Thank you."
I wipe the tears from her eyes as she wipes tears from mine. I give her another kiss.
"I wouldn't have my life any other way." I tell her quietly.
"It was a perfect life." She whispered.
"Goodnight, George." She closes her eyes as I kiss her cheek before turning out the light.
