He stroked her back. "I know you are. And I admire it."
She nodded and released him. She wiped her eyes again. She hadn't realized that she had started to cry again.

Julian helped wipe her eyes with his thumbs. "I love you. Both of you."
"I love you too, Daddy." She said and looked at Tom.

Tom met her glance and looked down. "Me too," he murmured softly.
She squeezed his hand. "it'll be okay." She said. "I'll stay with you tonight, Tom... If you want."

He looked at her. Tonight... He hadn't even thought about that yet. Deep down he wanted to be alone, but he also knew why. So he nodded. "I think that'd be good."
She nodded, thankful that he was letting her stay with him. He had tendencies like their parents so there was no way she'd let Tom be alone. She then looked at their father. Would he try to escape too? "Dad? Do you want to join our sleepover?"

Julian looked up at her, caught a little off-guard. His heart sank when he realised why she was asking him to join. He looked down in shame. He'd never been proud of what he'd done, but seeing that his own daughter felt obligated to babysit him... That hurt like hell. "...That's okay, sweetheart. I'll be just fine," he murmured. "The last thing I want you to do right now is worry about me. okay?"
