He softly closes the door behind him.

I wake up with a sleeping Luke next to me. He looks exhausted. I smile as I go with my hands through his hair. Apparently 'a few hours' was more difficult than he thought. I look at the time and see that it's 11pm. I carefully stand up without waking Luke; I'm never going to fall asleep tonight anyway. I walk downstairs and go to the kitchen. I grab a bottle water and walk back to the living room. I grab a book and sit on the couch.

After reading about two hours I get bored. I lay the book down and walk upstairs. Suddenly I hear mumbling. I walk to Sarah's room, hoping she wouldn't wake up Luke. Then I realize that I'm not hearing Sarah. It's someone else. I begin to walk faster to Sarah's room, ready to throw some punches to the person who thinks they can touch my daughter. I stop when I see the door's open. I see Luke standing over Sarah's crib, slowly lifting her up. I quickly hide behind the door. She smiles when she sees him and I need to smile too. He walks to the couch that stands next to it and sits down. He holds her carefully.
"I'm so sorry.." I hear him whisper as his shoulders begin to shock a little.
I don't get it. Why should he be sorry? I carefully listen as he goes on.
"For everything." He adds.
I hear him take a deep breath before going on. I want to comfort him so bad right now, but I wanna know what's going on with him.
"I never told mommy everything... Things about my past.. I still suffer from them, and mommy doesn't know. No wonder that she wants to leave me. I don't even have the guts to tell her everything, while she shares everything with me."
Why does he get that crap from? I slowly stand up and walk into the room.
"Luke?" I stop in the middle of the room.
"Princess, what are you doing up?" He asks, while he quickly wipes his tears away.
"Luke, stop this. I heard everything, so don't lie to me. I want to help you." I say softly as I walk to him and sit next to him.
"Can you please tell me? I don't want to see you like this."


He looks at Sarah, but begins to talk eventually.
"I hadn't the best past either.." He tries to smile but fails.
I sit a little closer.
"I had trouble with my weight. A lot of trouble. No one said something about it, always telling me how skinny I was, but I thought I wasn't. It bothered me when they said that I was skinny, because it only made me feel fatter. I stopped eating. No one noticed..."
I wanted to ask if that was what he has trouble with, but I still let him speak first.
"I still had trouble when I met you, but I thought that you would back off if I told you. That you wouldn't want all that drama. You still helped me, without even knowing. Demi, you made me stop, you made me wanna change..." He stops and looks at me.
"But... What's the problem? I mean, you stopped right?..." I ask, a little unsure if I went too far or not.
"I'm just afraid that Sarah will do the same when she's bigger."
"Luke, she won't. Even if she did, we'll help her. She's not even 1 yet, we have plenty of time with her, and we'll make it the best time, okay?" I smile.
He smiles back at me.
"C'mon." I take Sarah, who's sleeping again, and lay her back in her crib.
I watch her as Luke walks to me. He stands behind me while he looks over my shoulder to Sarah. He laces our fingers.
"I love you." He whispers.
"I love you too." I smile.
He softly kisses my shoulder as we watch Sarah sleeping.
"C'mon, let's go to bed." I say while I turn around to him.
He nods his head. We walk to the bedroom. I yawn and he smirks.
"What?"
"You're the second cutest princess I know."
"Second?" I lift my eyebrows.
"Sarah's first."
I smile. We lay down omto the bed.


"But... You're still my princess." He plays with my fingers.
"And what's Sarah?"
"She's my baby girl."
I smile again.
"Let's go to sleep." I whisper.
"HmHm." He already has his eyes close and nods.
He turns me around so that were spooning. I giggle and close my eyes too.


Suddenly he moves closer... And closer.. And closer...


"Luke, the bed is big enough, you're practically pushing me out of it." I laugh softly, trying not to wake up Sarah.
"I just want you closer."
I sigh.
"Luke... I can't.. Breathe.." I laugh.
He looses his grip a little, but for the rest doesn't move.

"Demi?" He says suddenly.
"Yeah?" I was almost sleeping.
"I gotta ask you something...".....
