"Mommy? I thought this was a love story?" Cammie asks me. My seven year old daughter sits on my lap, curiosity in her brown eyes.

"No honey, that was the story of your sister," I explain. We're wrapped in a large blue comforter on the old recliner.

"Carry was my sister?"

"Yes, she was a lot like you."

"Did she go away with daddy?"

"No, she went away long before daddy did, that's how we had you." I tickle her as she giggles uncontrollably. "I think it's time for bed girly." I stand up and balance her on my hip.

"But I wanna know more," she complains.

"I'll tell you more stories tomorrow night, I can't tell them all in one night or we'll run out!" I take her upstairs and to her bedroom. "Besides, I'm sure North and Frost are tired."

I lay her down under the purple comforter and pull it up to Cammie's chin. She is already in her favorite purple pajamas. Her lamp with a purple shade over it sits on her white nightstand.

"It's their turn, then we'll take our turn saying goodnight." At the same time, we let our alters take over, I'm no longer in control of our body. I'm plunged into darkness, a small opening shows me what is going on through Frost's eyes. She tells her goodnight and kisses North's forehead. Then I'm in control again.

"Goodnight honey."

"Goodnight mommy," Cammie tells me. I kiss her on her forehead and head to the door.

"I love you, and I'll see you in the morning."

"I Love you too." I shut Cammie's lamp off and close her door behind me.

Today was hard, but I chose to tell Cammie the story on how her dad and my daughter disappeared forever.

My bed invites me, I'm used to sleeping without my husband, it has been seven years. I made sure not to try to find Barry when the opportunity arose, my daughter needs me and I know that now.

I climb in bed and fall asleep peacefully, I'll tell Cammie the rest tomorrow. I hope she understands why I did what I did. Maybe one day she'll even understand why she'll never see her dad again.

Hey everyone I hope you loved the story. This is the first story I've EVER finished so I'm quite happy, especially since I finished it on my birthday 😍 (07/07) guess who's fifteen now!

Anyways, I am making at least a second book which will be all about Snowbarry, up until they have a child, then if that story gets as much love as this one did, I'll make a third covering Caitlin's life without Barry and with Cammie.
