I hugged her very very tight because her innocence is killing me. She doesn't even know what mommy wants from daddy, she has no idea what mommy's going to do to daddy. Dulcie, I want to tell you that mommy is going to kill daddy. 


she's going to kill your daddy. 


"Dakie, why are you crying?" she looks at me confused, I didn't even notice that I was crying.

"Dakie just really loves you, Dulcie" 

"I love dakie too" Dulcie you're making me more emotional. 


then suddenly I heard a loud scream coming from outside startling me and dulcie. 


OH FUCK 

NO 

JAMIE.

NO. 


I stood up, cradling Dulcie in my arms. I ran to the living room and I saw a shaking and hyperventilating Jamie on the floor. He's dreaming. 

"GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY FROM ME!" 

I hurriedly ran next to him shaking him to wake up. 

"JAMIE! JAMIE! JAMIE! WAKE UP, SWEETHEART WAKE UP!" 

He jolted awake and looks at me with such fright in his eyes. He's gone pale and his breathing is faster than usual. 

I hugged him tight resting his head in my chest. I can't control it anymore. Seeing Jamie like this brings me into a state of depression.

 I feel like I'm so useless to him that I can't rapidly think of something to stop his misery. 

He freely cried in my shirt, not even caring Dulcie's right next to me. 

"Jamie.....please stop crying, Jamie it's alright. She's not here. Please, Jamie, stop crying please" 

"I-I.....I am so scared Dakota, I'm so scared that she will get my darling baby girl......I-I dakota" 

"What is it Jamie?" 

"I....I'm"

"What jamie what?" 

"I'm so scared that she will stab you to death" 

My heart stopped and I know that he's right. She won't take any chances. She'll do what she wants to do and I wouldn't be able to stop it. I'm so weak. I don't know what do, I feel helpless. Dear God save us. 

"Jamie jamie shhhhh please jamie stop crying" I said in between sobs. Jamie can't stop crying and this is the first time I saw him cried this hard. He's shaking involuntarily and his skin begins to feel cold.

"Jamie please....." I can't see and hear him in pain, the sound of his cries and the fear in his face breaks my heart more than tiny shattered pieces. 


I helped him stood up and we sat on the couch in silence, he's still sobbing here and there. Sniffing from time to time but at least he's tamed. 

he's still in my arms, rubbing his back, kissing his forehead, and hugging him tighter to make him feel that he's protected 

I don't want to let Jamie go. 


"Daddy....." 

we both look up and saw Dulcie staring at us with my stuffed pig in her arms. 

She walks towards us and sat on Jamie's side. She extended her arms, giving Jamie the stuffed pig. She sat closer to him and hugged his stomach. I stared at Jamie and sooner or later his lips lift forming a smile. He carried Dulcie so she would be comfortable. 

"Daddy.......hug him" 

He took the pig from Dulcie's arms and looked at it with confusion. 


"Whenever I feel scared, I just hug him tight......" she took the pig away from her daddy and let it fall on the floor. 


"If daddy feels scared...." she extended her arms to the side and tackled Jamie with a bear hug


She continued 


"If daddy feels scared.......just hug me and everything will be okay" 


Giving Jamie a kiss on the cheeks. From that moment on. 



Jamie had his strength back.
