Never Letting Go
Later in the night, Twilight and I put Sunny and Blake to bed. Twilight sang them to sleep. I missed her singing. We decided to sleep together. I went into our bedroom. By now, Twilight was in her pajamas. "You alright?" Twilight asked. "Yeah," I said, "It's just that, I haven't slept on a bed in years. And when I had after the death of the other you, I slept alone."
"I know what you mean," said Twilight, "I had to get used to sleeping alone for awhile..."
"Guess in the words of Bruno Mars, same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now," I said. "I understood that reference!" Twilight joked. I lied on the bed, and Twilight put the blankets on us, cuddling on me. "Something on your mind?" Twilight asked, looking at me with concern. "Well, it's just that, it's about what I had to tell Sunny," I admitted, "I mean, I'm not the Leo she knows. She may not know about alternate dimensions right now, but... Eventually, she's going to find out the truth. Same with Blake. And how am I going to tell them the things I've done as The Nightwatcher? What if they hate us for lying to them?"
Twilight nodded, understanding my inner fears. "They won't hate you Leo," assured Twilight, putting her hand on my chest, "your brothers and father are willing to welcome you into their lives. And I'm sure all these things you've done will never overshadow the bond I'm sure you will make with your children. I swear, I'll be with you through it all." I smiled at her. "You are wise beyond your years," I said, "and that is one of the reasons why I love you." Twilight then cuddled on me, and we slept the rest of the night without a worry or a care. On that night, the Nightwatcher died.
Time Skip to a few weeks...
I was now used to leading my brothers again on patrol. It felt good not working alone. On one night, I stayed home to watch a movie with Twilight, Sunny, and Blake. We watched The Lion King together. After the movie was over, Twilight was resting on my right shoulder, holding a sleeping Blake. Sunny was sleeping on my left shoulder, holding Spike. I smiled, happy to have a family. I silently said to myself, "I'm never letting go..."
The End.
