Time After Time (Trish/Randy/Tessa)

Trish sighed as she walked back down the stairs from her daughter's room. Things ha been like this on the third of every months since Tesssa had gotten old enough to realize when she shots came. Tessa would hide in her closet and try her hardest to avoid them. Just like every other time she would only come out for her father.

"Randy, she's hiding again," Trish said, pointing up toward their two year old's bedroom.

Randy nodded then walked over to the bedroom.

"Tessa sweetie come out please." Randy said.

"Leave me 'lone!" Tessa said.

Randy opened the door.

"You know I can't do that." Randy said.

"Go away!" Tessa said.

"Tessa please come out." Randy said.

"No!" Tessa said.

"Please Tessa? For daddy?" Randy asked.

"No poke," Tessa whimpered.

"Tessa you're going to have to get it but I swear I'll be with you every second." Randy said.

"No want it," Tessa started to cry.

Randy opened his arms wide.

"Come here." Randy said.

Tessa slowly crawled to Randy.

Randy picked Tessa up then wiped her tears away.

"You know I wouldn't do anything unless it was going to help you right?" Randy asked.

"But it hurts," Tessa sniffled.

"I know but it only lasts for a few seconds then it's done." Randy said.

"But it makes hurt for days," Tessa said.

"But then mommy and I give you as much ice cream as you want." Randy said.

"Pwomise?" Tessa asked.

"I promise." Randy said as he walked out of the bedroom.

Tessa sniffled.

Randy kissed Tessa on her head.

"We go now?" Tessa asked.

"Yep." Randy said.

Tessa whimpered.
