"Daddy?" a tiny girl's voice said. "Daddy? Are you awake?" Alex's eyes fluttered open and the face of his five-year-old daughter was in front of him. Her question floated in his mind, a moment of childhood innocence that he was not sure he would hear again. "Of course I am sweetheart. What's the matter?" Alex straightened his back against the wall, wincing at the pain and soreness of his body. He wasn't old by any measure, but the brutality that his body had just taken would take its toll on anyone. Gemma crawled into his arms and curled in his lap. "Daddy, I'm scared." Gemma's voice quivered and she sounded as if she would cry at any moment. "Everything is okay, sweetheart. Mommy and daddy won't let anything happen to you, okay?" Alex squeezed the tiny person closer to him, desperate to take away any of her fears. "Okay," Gemma sighed as if resigning herself to something that she didn't quite believe. She paused for a moment and Alex sensed that there was something else that she wanted.
