I love you, little knight. *half whispered*

*nods*

He's safe now.

Supposed to be here.

*everything she can do not cry* Remember the other day when I told you life isn't fair, little love? Part of that is people aren't always where they should be.

How come he had to die?

I...I don't know, Brennan. I wish I did.

*nods*

We are going to survive this, though, little knight, as a family.

*nods*

You and Annika and I will tell the triplets all about the good things he did. We'll make sure they remember their father how we do, alright?

*nods* And I'll be a good helper.

You'll be an excellent helper, you already are, my little prince.

*nods*

Someday, *her voice is soft* You will help me run the kingdom. And someday even later, you and the triplets will will run it together.

*nods* Yes Mommy.

You know I'm proud of you, right?

Why?

Because you are strong, good, brave, and smart, and so many things I can't count them all.

*keeps quiet*

Brennan, you are good.

*nods a little*

And you've proven yourself brave time and time again.

*nods a little*

You are very smart. And you've survived a lot.

*nods*

*pats her back*

*kisses the top of his head*

*snuggles into her*

*drops onto the couch and snuggles him*
