Angelica came home yesterday. Her fever has improved a lot but shes still very weak and tired. Getting her to eat has been a struggle. She wont eat any meal besides dinner and even then she will eat less than half of it and claim shes 'full'

We are currently sat on the couch. Angel is sat on my lap with her legs draped over mine and her head resting on my chest. A thick blanket is wrapped around angel trying desperately to keep her warm, shes still so fucking cold its concerning.

The movie we were watching finishes so I check the time. 10pm. ''Come on bellissima, time for bed'' (beautiful) she shakes her head, keeping it resting on my chest. ''I'm not tired'' she says while a yawn comes out making me chuckle. ''Sure youre not baby, come on''

I stand off the couch with angel cradled in my arms as I carry her upstairs to my room, gently laying her on the bed.

I lay beside her on top of the covers after tucking her in making sure shes warm.

''Sleep princess'' I plant a kiss on her temple and rest against the headboard, waiting for her to fall asleep so I can head to the safehouse.

Angel gasps at my confession, her head shooting up from my chest in shock. ''Remember when I said them dying wasn't an accident? When he found out my parents wanted to send him away...he set our house on fire with them inside'' angel sits up on the bed beside me and grabs my hand in hers

A couple minutes pass and angels still awake in my arms. I know shes thinking but I dont know what shes thinking about. Before I can question why shes still awake she speaks. ''I-I cant have kids...'' I'm taken off guard the second the words leave her lips.
