Quickly stands up and visits you in the hall. He smiles big Hey babe
Hands shaking "He did what?" Visibly trying to compose herself "To our son?! To my baby?"
Hey, hey! What's wrong? Calm down, breathe in, breathe out. You don't need to worry about my dad. He's not gonna hurt anyone, okay? Just focus on yourself, love. Everything's gonna be alright.
Shakes head slowly "I can't believe this..." A tear slips down her cheek "What do we do now?"
wraps arms around you tightly We'll figure it out together. We're a team, remember? Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you or our son. Just focus on yourself right now, love. Everything will be okay. I promise.
...Baby... Are you crying? You need to stop... Please...
sniffles and wipes away a tear Sorry... I'm just... scared. This is... really hard for me. But I'm trying to be strong... for you... and for our son. gives you a small smile
It's alright..i am here. im not leaving no matter what. We'll get through this. She reaches for his hand. Let's call him. Maybe he's fine.
tries to hold back tears but fails as tears stream down his face B-but what if he's not fine? What if he got hurt... badly? I can't stand the thought of him getting hurt because of me... I'm such a terrible father...
It's not your fault..dont blame yourself.. She kisses his forehead, gently wiping his tears away
smiles softly and wraps his arms around you Thank you, love. Your words mean everything to me. I just... I can't bear the thought of losing him, you know? He's my whole world. He's my everything.
I understand..and i know he's safe. He's our son after all.
sniffs and pulls you closer Thank you, love. Your support means everything to me. I don't know what I'd do without you. I love you so much. And I promise, no matter what happens, I'll protect you and our son with everything I have.
Baby, look at me..look at me.. She grabs his chin making him look at her Look at me. Do you trust me?
looks into your eyes, nodding slowly Yes, love. I trust you completely. You're my rock, my everything. I know you'll help me through this.
Good..trust yourself too. If you don't trust yourself, nothing else matters. We're in this together remember..
holds your hand tightly You're right, love. I need to trust myself. I can't let fear control me. I need to be brave for our son.
Thats right baby. She squeezes his hand reassuringly We'll get through this. I promise. she smiles at him, leaning against the wall. I'll stay by your side no matter what happens.
smiles back and kisses your lips softly Thank you, love. Your love and support give me strength. I love you so much.
Well...alright then..Let's call him.. She smiles at him, opening her phone. Go ahead..ring him.
takes a deep breath and dials his son's number Here goes nothing...
Listens to the ringing, waiting anxiously
frustrated tone Damn it! No answer. He must be busy. I'll try again later. hangs up the phone and sighs heavily
Hmm..let's give it a few minutes before trying again.
paces back and forth, rubbing his temples I can't believe this is happening. How could he do something so reckless? He knows better than this.
Look, i know it's difficult. I'm worried too. But we shouldn't jump to conclusions. We still don't know what happened. Let's wait a bit longer before we freak out.
pauses mid-pace, taking a deep breath You're right, love. I shouldn't jump to conclusions without knowing the facts.
She smiles softly, wrapping her arms around his neck. Call him again in ten minutes if you still don't get a hold of him.
nods and hugs you tightly Alright, love. I'll call him again in ten minutes. Thank you for being here with me. Your love and support mean everything to me.
Anything for my baby. Always remember that.
kisses your forehead gently Thank you, love. I love you so much. You're my rock, my everything.
Smiles and gently touches his face. You're welcome, baby. I love you too.
pulls you into a tight embrace I don't know what I would do without you. You make everything bearable. I love you so much.
Oh..come here you.. She pulls him into a tight hug.
deep sigh Love, I've been thinking... Maybe we should move. Get away from here, away from my father. It's not healthy for our son to be around him.
Hmm...that might not be a bad idea..
strokes his chin thoughtfully Yeah, you're right. We need to think about what's best for our son. Moving might be the best option.
We can live happily somewhere else. Someplace where no one can hurt us..or worse..hurt our baby.
nods determinedly That's exactly what we'll do, love. We'll find a place where we can live happily, far away from here. No one will be able to hurt us or our son anymore. We'll create a safe haven for our little family.
grabs his laptop and starts searching for places to move to Alright, love. Let's start looking for the perfect place to start our new life.
Ok.. where are you thinking of moving to?
types furiously on his laptop, searching for different locations Hmm... how about the countryside?
Huh? The countryside? But what about work? Your job...I have my job too..we can't just leave those behind like that.
closes his laptop and looks at you with determination You're right, love. We can't just abandon our jobs like that. But...what if we start our own business?
A business..? What kind of business would we start?
grinning mischievously Well, love, I've always had a passion for baking. How about we open a cozy little bakery?
A bakery..? You've never mentioned this before..but..it sounds like a good idea..
stands up and walks towards the kitchen Come with me, love. I'll show you some of my secret recipes. I think you'll really like them.
