"One more time, I promise." Xena begged. I looked down into her ocean-blue eyes.

Everything fucking hurts. She has his ocean blue eyes. His tan skin, my freckles my nose and his lips. She looks just like him.

Sometimes it hurts to even look into her eyes. Because all I see is him. She even has his attitude.

I fucking miss him.

She's never even met him, and she acts so much like him. It's been three years since he passed away. And it feels like he took me with him.

"Please, mama, I just want to hear his voice one more time." She squeezed the stuffed cow. When his voice played, I looked up at the stars.

I heard her giggle when he said that he named the cow thing one.

Anytime she hears his voice, her eyes light up, and she gets the biggest smile on her face, which causes the two deep dimples to show.

His dimples.

"I love you."

I heard his voice come through the cow. "I love you too." I hear Xena say it with a sniffle. "So Daddy's one of those now?" She pointed up at the night sky.

"Yeah, baby, isn't he beautiful?" I smiled as I stared up at the beautiful stars. I hear her giggle beside me. "Is that why you love them so much?" She looked up at me with those familiar ocean eyes.

"I love them even more because of him." I breathe out. I heard a little yawn come from Xena. "You tired, princess?" She rubbed her eyes, shaking her head.

"Come on, let's go to bed." She pouts slightly. "Okay." Xena said it just above a whisper. She grabbed the stuffed cow.

"Are you not going to say bye to Daddy? That's rude." She said this as she climbed off the chair. I laughed while picking her up.

"Bye, my love."

"Bye daddy." She exclaimed, waving at the night sky. "Come on, Bailey!" I call out Bailey comes running towards the house.

She's fully grown now. Her head goes just above my hip. I trained Bailey to protect, and she is very good at it. She almost attacked our new bodyguard. It was funny. The poor guy screamed like a little girl.

I walk upstairs with Xena in my arms. "Can I sleep with you?" She asks like she doesn't always sleep with me.

It's practically her room. All of her clothes and toys are in my room. But I don't mind. "Yes, Bellissima." I say this as we enter my room, placing Xena in my bed.

Translate(beautiful.)

I went into the closet, grabbed one of Ezra's old shirts, and put it on before walking back into the room.

I smile seeing Xena already asleep cuddling with 'Thing One. She doesn't really like 'Thing Two because it doesn't have Ezra's voice in it.

I lay down, pulling the blankets over us. I stare up at the ceiling, and the sadness and anger slowly creeping up in me, sending my mind through thousands of memories.

There is going to be a day where I get that bastard for what he took from me. I'm going to make my father's life a living hell.

He took Xena's father away; he took the love of my life away. So I'm going to take so much more from him.

I'm going to watch as his empire comes crumbling down on him. He wanted war, so I'm going to bring it to him.

 He wanted war, so I'm going to bring it to him
