It hadn't even been a week since Megan had been taken by her father. She was still sore, her back still ached, and she would hardly leave her room. Except to go to school. Of course, she wasn't staying quiet. She would talk to certain people. But she wasn't exactly talking as much as she used to. And this past week, Megan found it really hard to get to sleep. And tonight, she'd woken up from a terrible nightmare.
Looking at the clock on her end table, Megan noticed the it was only midnight. Maybe dad is still awake. Getting out of bed, Megan slipped on her slippers and put on her robe and walked down the hall. She stopped in front of her parents door and knocked gently. "Daddy?"

"What is it, sweetpea?" Ben asked, still laying in bed.

Megan opened the door to his bedroom, and walked inside. "Daddy? Could I stay in here for awhile?" She really didn't want to be only. In fact, she just wanted to be with her dad.

Ben stretched and looked at his clock. The problem was that he never liked having kids in the bed. It was just something that he never got used to and never liked. The other problem was that he knew why Megan was being clingy, but at the same time he didn't want to get out of bed. But since his choices were either to get out of bed, or to let her crawl into bed he decided to grin and bear it. "Pumpkin, why don't you go downstairs and make us some hot chocolate? I'll be right down in a minute."

Megan grinned, and nodded, before walking downstairs into the kitchen. It didn't take to make hot chocolate, and she set both cups at the table, before sitting down herself. She took a sip and then rested her head in her arms.

Ben dragged himself out of bed and put his robe on. Going down the stairs, he looked down at his daughter. "Everything okay?" he asked. Ben wasn't that much of a talker, but at least he was talking.

Megan looked up at her dad. She could feel tears watering her eyes, but forced herself not to cry. It was over, so she shouldn't be like this, right? She just shook her head. "No, daddy." she whispered, softly. "I just-I couldn't sleep."

Ben looked at her and sighed. "Maybe a little bit of tv would help." he said. "Why don't you pick out a movie from Ellie's collection, and we'll watch it together. While I make the popcorn." He didn't really know what he was doing. He wasn't good at the whole talking thing. So he hoped that a movie could kind of replace that. Well, at least he was trying, right?

It didn't really matter to Megan. In fact, she didn't really want to talk. She was-she was just to scared. And she didn't even want to go to school tomorrow. Or ever really. But she knew that she just couldn't hide out in her room everyday and night. But right now, Megan just didn't want to be alone. She just wanted the company really. She forced a small smile, and nodded. "O-Okay, daddy." How often did Megan really ever call either of her parents daddy? Usually it was when she herself were in trouble, or she was pretty terrified.
Standing up from the kitchen table, and picking up her hot chocolate, Megan walked into the living room. Megan set her mug on the coffee table, and went to pick out a movie. Now, normally, Megan was always the type of girl to pick out a horror movie. She rarely picked anything else. But not tonight. No, Megan decided to try and find a comedy. Any kind of comedy. Which is funny, because she hardly ever watched them. Finally she decided on Uptown Girls, which was funny considering that she was never even that big on that movie. Megan put it in, and sat down on the couch. She sat in the corner of the couch, and brought her knees up to her chest, hugging them close.

Ben made some popcorn and went in the room, sitting by her "here" he said gently, offering her the bowl

Megan put her feet on the floor, and smiled shyly. She hadn't noticed that she was trembling slightly. She reached for the bowl. "Thanks daddy." She spoke in a small voice.

Ben nodded, not even hungry himself. He looked down at her and smiled "you know, the second I saw you, I knew"

Megan looked up, and smiled. "What did you know, daddy?"

"that I had to have you. I didn't care who else out there might want this beautiful, sweet little girl. I was being selfish" he said, kissing her head

Megan smiled, sweetly, and looked up at her dad. "You knew? How did you know right away?"
