Departure

Indiana

I was standing in the mirror just looking at myself. It was so weird having the metal in my chest. Since I had gotten rid of the poison in my body, I always had a little bit of pain from a small bit of poison lingering.

It was a hundred times better than before they got all of it out but it lingered and now it's gone. When the bathroom door opened I looked over and Luna Rose was awake.

"Hey girly, how are you doing today." I picked her up.

"I'm good." She smiled.

"Hey, is mommy back yet?" I asked her while she was touching the metal in my chest.

"No. Daddy why are you silver?" Luna Rose asked as she touched my chest.

"Well Rosie, I got hurt a long time ago and the doctor fixed it with the metal." I explained to her gently.

"Are you all better?" Luna Rose asked.

"Yep, I'm all better now." I kissed her forehead.

"Dad, where is mommy?"

"Mommy is picking some things up for Auntie Lorelei."

"When are we seeing Auntie Lorelei again."

"Auntie Lorelei is really busy right now but we will see her soon. Okay Luna?"

"Okay." Luna Rose smiled.

I walked out of the bathroom with my daughter and smiled. I kind of want another baby. I had brought this up to Alivia a few years back but Livia said no because Luna Rose was still too small.

Now that Luna Rose is six maybe she will say yes. Maybe I should get Luna Rose behind the plan as well. It shouldn't be too hard to convince her because she is pretty much up for anything and is very easy to persuade.

"Hey Luna, have you had breakfast?"

Luna Rose shook her head as I sat her down at the table.

"Well what do you want for breakfast?" I ask as I pulled out a pan.

"Eggs."

As I got to making breakfast Luna Rose was sitting at the table being quiet.

"Hey Luna?"

"Yea, daddy?"

"What do you think about a new brother or sister?" I asked her.

Please say yes, please say yes!

"A new brother or sister!" Luna Rose smiled.

"Do you like that idea?"

"Yeah!" She sounded really excited about that idea."

"Do you want to ask mommy?"

I turned around and Luna Rose nodded.

I smiled as I turned back to breakfast. Then the sound of our door opening made Luna Rose jump up from her spot at the table and run.

"Mommy!" She yelled as she wrapped her arms around Alivia.

"Luna Rose, go back to Indiana.I am  reading something." Alivia told Luna Rose as she was reading something on a computer she was holding.

Luna Rose looked a little hurt.

I walked over to Alivia and took the computer out of her hands.

"Hey Livy, you might want to set this down for a couple minutes and have a good family breakfast with me and Luna Rose. Can you do that for me?" I set the computer down on the table.
