The days felt long, yet the years were short. When Eddie first found out that he was going to be a father, the months leading up to the birth of his children was a tiresome one. Anxiety coursed through him at the thought of being a father, or worse, a bad one. Without any fatherly role models to learn from, Eddie had no choice but to learn on his own and, by the time the twins came into this world, he worried that nothing he could do would be enough for his children.
Almost a year on and Eddie had realized that he didn’t need to be the perfect father to be enough. In the children’s eyes, they placed a certain reliance on their father; it was clear in their wide, gaping stares, eyes round and innocent. Even whilst he was a busy man nowadays, distracted by the world around him, nothing in the world could distract him from his children.
A knock at his office door had Eddie lift his head, brows bunched together as he watched expectantly. An NPC peeked their head into the room meekly, ❝ Your daughter’s asking after you- ❞ They said, earning a brief look of bafflement from Eddie. ❝ All right. ❞ He uttered shortly afterwards, standing up and following the NPC into the lounge. Had he heard things right? His daughter had asked after him?
Ed was frowning as he wandered into the lounge, eyes shifting over towards his wife with their two children, and automatically he leaned forwards to lift Charlotte up as she began to reach out towards him expectantly. ❝ What did I hear about her asking for me? ❞ He questioned, gaze lingering on his daughter as she reached her hand out to gently pat his face.
