Keep them safe.

It was almost dawn the next morning when I heard a knock on the door. I was still fully wide awake, checking up on Vanessa almost every minute. I couldn’t sleep a wink.

The whole incident really shook me to the core and for the first time in my life, I was scared. I was scared for the people I called mine.

The doctors came in to check up on her pulse during the night, as per my request and assured me that everything was fine, my Vanessa was fine.

She had woken up few hours back to ask for water, after giving it to her, she also asked about our daughter, I had to assure her that Rachael was fine for the second time.

We talked a little about the incident, and I had to explain to her about how I met Dae and Andy. She drifted off to lala land even before I got the story to the mid part.
