was still working at Starfleet but no longer going to space she couldn't because she knows she's not going to walk onto the flight deck and her Tithern won't be there flying the ship like he always was and neither would be George her best friend other than winnoa who had a son the night they both lost the men they loved Marko walls where taller than ever after that knowing that she was not going to come home to his smile or his stupid jokes that could make anyone laugh the women tried her best to spend time with her daughter her only daughter she had no plans on meeting anyone else so no other children her and Tithern often talked about at least having two kids one boy and one girl is what they always wanted but Marko was happy that she got her daughter even if she is never going to see her beloved Tithern again today was Auro birthday so the fourteen years now without Tithern Scarthin and George Kirk. Marko let out a sigh as she went to her daughter's room she knocked on the door but she knew Auro had her head phones in and was drawing like always her daughter was never for one to have a lot of friends she meet James once and she got a long with him which surprised Marko but made her happy knowing if Tithern and George were still around those two would have spent every single day together because they did when they became friends

Auro baby girl Marko said sitting on the end of Auro bed

one thing Marko did notice about her daughter was she was not like most children on her birthday she was quiet and stayed in her room and drew but most of the paper from that day ended up in the trash can she would throw out the next day always with a sigh

Auro finally looked up at her mother and took off her headphones

Yeah mom she asked still drawing bittign her lip like always

How about we go for a ride today

I don't know mom I was kind of hoping

Auro you stay in this room to much come on you can saddle up Knight I got clove now come on don't make me force you too

Mom than her mom started to tickle her

Mo...m st..o..p i..it

Okay now come on she said kissing her forehead and walking out of Auro room

Auro sighed she closed her sketch book for now and put it in her hiding spot so her mom never looked though it not now at least she closed the part of the wall so her mom didn't know Auro found the open part of the wall it had drawings of her mom in there and some of a man she took was her father's best friend George and of George wife and Winnoia but none of her dad which angered her not once as she ever seen his face her mother took all the pictures down she understood seeing them made her mother sad and upset but what about her she wanted to at least she what her father looked like not go into Starfleet for the day with her mom to get all the you look so much like your father and it angered her so much to no ends but she took a guess since there was none of him that he was the artist that did all the draws so she draws to hope to have some type of memory of her father she wanted to know so much about him but she never got that all the other kids she meet know a lot about their father they spend days with him but her she never even heard his voice let a lot seen his face

AURO YOU COMING KNIGTH NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR EVER

COMING MOM

Auro put on her riding boots and walked out of her farm house just outside of Iowa where her only friend James lived she would sometimes get on her horse knight and ride out to James house and they spend the night pointing out stars in till she had to go so her mother didn't know she was gone but little do the two know Wonnia saw them but didn't say anything she told Marko who just smiled at that she always watched as Auro lefted and made sure she came back but Auro always did

you might have to catch him said Marko as she put on Clove saddle the paint mare let out a snort making Auro laugh a little she got Knight reins and went into the field she chased him for a good 15 minutes before she finally caught the young colt she walked him up the hill by the old white stallion that was under the willow tree the white stallion was named willow and he was her father's horse the old stallion spent most of his time now in the field or the old barn that they have Auro finally got her pinto colt all Saddled up and got on her hat on it was the hat or helmet her mother's rules the two started on a tail ride like always but her mom went off the tail

MOM WHERE ARE YOU GOING THE TAIL STRAIGHT NOT LEFT Auro yelled out to her mother who was in a canter

come on knight *click click* and knight was falling the two when Auro finally caught up her mother had clove tied up on a fence so Auro did the same thing and walked over to her mother who was standing into front of a willow tree

Why are we here mom?

This is where your father proposed to me

Auro looked at her wide eyed it was rare to get her mom to bring up her father it was to heartbreaking to her her mom sat own against the tree so did Auro

this was his favourite place here he used to draw and draw and draw he spent hours up here it was his spot and he never showed anyone not even George but he showed me when he asked me to marry him

I looked at her she had a real smile on her face which Auro had never seen before

I said yes of course or you wouldn't be here her and Auro laughed at that I remember he always talked about how he wanted to take you up here and spend the day with you

Auro looked at her mother wide eyes he mom now had tears coming out of her eyes

I remember when he first said the name Auro I remember say there no way your naming my daughter Auro and I asked him how he came up with it but he never got the chance to tell me she said her voice cracking now Auro hugged her mother tears now coming out of her eyes as well

You don't have to go on if it hurts you momma said Auro as she hugged her

Marko sighed and hugged her daughter back and rubbed her back as she cried over the father she never got to know
