Miracle: Part 2

Bad Dreams

The doctor and Missy woke up to the cry of Miracle "I got it" Missy said putting on her robe. She walked to Miracles room and turned the lights on, she sat on Miracles bed and stroked her hair "Its okay, mummy is here". Miracle sat up and hugged her stuffed giraffe "Daddy!" She yelled. Missy was startled and stood up, Miracle hoped out of bed. Missy walked towards her but Miracle backed away, as if she was scared.

Worry filled Missy "What is it?" She asked in panic

"Daddy!" Miracle yelled louder, tears were streaming down her face.

The doctor rushed in "What's going on?"

Miracle was pressed against the wall "Bad" she said pointing at Missy.

The doctor looked at Missy, she turned around to face him "I didn't do anything". The doctor loooked at Miracle, she looked terrified. He raised an eyebrow "Missy can I speak with you?" He asked

They walked into the hallway "She hates me. This is the third time this week" Missy cried her head in her hands

"No she doesn't" the doctor said putting his hands on her shoulder

"The only time she talks is when youre around, she doesnt like me, when ever I get near her she cries. What am I doing wrong?" She asked

The doctor sighed "Its probably just a stage" he said rubbing her back "She's only five. She doesn't even know left from right" he said with a weak smile

"But she should know im her mother" she said with a hint of anger in her voice

They heard Miracle crying they and went to her room. Miracle was on the floor, she had a barbie doll in her hand. When she saw the doctor she ran up to him. He picked her and dried her tears "What's wrong?" He asked. She sniffled and pointed at the toy soldier on the ground. Missy picked it up "Is this it?" She asked, Miracle nodded.

The doctor chuckled "You're just like daddy" Missy raised an eyebrow "She doesn't like soldiers" he said setting Miracle on the floor, Miracle hugged his leg tightly.

Missy bent down "You don't have to be afraid" she said patting Miracles head, Miracle flinched at her touch. Missy eyes grew sad and she walked out the room.

The doctor sat on Miracles bed "Miracle" he called. She walked over to the doctor, he picked her up and sat her in his lap. He parted her bangs which were long enough to cover her eyes. "Miracle dear, whats wrong?" He asked.

Miracle looked at him blankly "I'm scared" she said in a soft voice

The doctor raised an eyebrow "Of mummy?"

She shook her head side to side "Dream" she said

"What dream?" He asked in curiosity. Miracle hopped off his lap and searched under her bed. She took out a small box, there were drawings inside, she handed one to the doctor. The picture was hard to understand given that it was drawn by a five year-old. The doctor could make out one thing "Is that mum?" He asked her, Miracle nodded. The doctor looked closer at the picture and saw that Miracle had drawn a whole in Missy's abdomen and there was a soldier in the background. The soldier had an evil grin. The image looked vaigly familiar to him, the doctor looked at Miracle "Is this your dream?". Tears formed in Miracles eyes. "Aww. Don't cry" the doctor hugged Miracle tightly, then it hit him, he knew where he'd seen the image before. "I'll be right back" he said to Miracle

He walked into the kitchen to find Missy making tea, her eyes were red and puffy.

"Come here" The doctor pulled her in for a hug. Her hands rested on her chest and his chin on her head. "It'll be alright" he said kissing the top of her head.
