ERIK'S POV
Erik woke up to his daughter's mass of curly hair in his face.
He turned and looked at the windows and saw that it was almost day break
He very gently peeled himself from her and looked down to see her.
She was well sound asleep and fervently clutching her teddy bear.
He very gently got up, kissed her forehead and calmly said. "Love you monkey."
He was surprised to hear her say. "Love you too."
He looked back at her and saw she was sound asleep.
He knew she had spoken in her sleep.
He got up from her bed and quietly walked out of the room and shut the door.
He stretched and then headed to the one place he dreaded going to.
He had slept on the decision to make and now he had finally decided one within himself.
He walked towards the left wing and went further the steps until he was at Xaden's door.
He knocked at the door and then he opened it and found Xaden awake sitting by his window sill.
