Mrs. Rodriguez
*hugging Alaric*
Alaric (child)
*crying in her arms*
Alaric (child)
Why did tommy leave us?
Mrs. Rodriguez
Shhh… my love *rocking to and fro*
Mrs. Rodriguez
Dogs life span is not as long as humans
Mrs. Rodriguez
Tommy had to leave
Mrs. Rodriguez
He lived with us way before you were born
Alaric (child)
*crying and hugging her neck*
Mr. Rodriguez
*came there*
Mrs. Rodriguez
*teary eyes but containing it for Alaric’s sake*
Mr. Rodriguez
*annoyed* ALARIC
Alaric (child)
*flinched but stopped crying*
Alaric (child)
*turned and looked at him*
Mr. Rodriguez
It’s just a dog, stop troubling your mother and go to your room
Alaric (child)
*sniffled and nodded as he went to his room, crying*
Mr. Rodriguez
*sat next to her*
Mr. Rodriguez
Wanna let it out?
Mrs. Rodriguez
*nods as she sniffled*
Mr. Rodriguez
*hugged her waist as he kissed her hair*
Mrs. Rodriguez
*hugged his neck, hiding her face in his shoulder and started crying*
Mr. Rodriguez
Shhh… honey, it’s okay. Tommy is in a better place
Mrs. Rodriguez
*sobs and nods* I know but Rick was attached to him so much
Mr. Rodriguez
*kissed her hair* So were you, more than him
Mr. Rodriguez
Don’t lament so much
Mr. Rodriguez
It brings no good
Alaric (child)
*came out of his room to ask something*
Mr. Rodriguez
You will get what you deserve.
Mr. Rodriguez
Nobody can snatch it away. Don’t let it-
Alaric (child)
(Yes. Nobody can snatch anything from me. God snatched tommy away from me, I won’t let him snatch anything from me ever again.)
Alaric (child)
*runs inside his room*
Mr. Rodriguez
Don’t let it get to your heart so much, sweetheart. Tommy died when his time came so will we.
Mrs. Rodriguez
*nods as she stops crying slowly*
Micah (child)
What happened next *eyes shining, looking up at his grandpa*
Micah’s Grandfather
*chuckles at his excitement* Your grandma wore this beautiful wedding gown and walked down the aisle
Micah (child)
Woah *hearing their wedding day story of the Nth time*
Micah’s Grandfather
I held her hand with a smile and promised her dad to never hurt her and gave myself away to her
Micah (child)
*claps his hands* didn’t she give herself to you?
Micah’s Grandfather
No, she belonged to herself-
Mrs. Rosewood
*knocks at the door* Micah, it’s time to go to bed
Micah (child)
*pouts* but grandpa is telling me a story
Micah (child)
*expecting eyes*
Micah (child)
Ahhh *whined*
Micah’s Grandfather
*chuckles and ruffles his hair*
Micah’s Grandfather
I’ll tell it to you some other time, honey.
Micah’s Grandfather
Go to sleep now.
Micah (child)
*pouts and nods, going to his room with his mother*
Micah (child)
(I’ll love my wife they way grandpa loves grandma and turn into a priest like him if she ever leaves me before my death)
Both 5 year olds took different oaths themselves
Oaths that shaped their growing personalities
Totally unaware of each other’s existence
Unknown to the future that awaits them
