"Hey Aria?"

I asked as she rinsed off her plate.

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something real quick?"

"Sure."

"Are you okay? I didn't see you cry today or anything like your siblings. I just wanna make sure you aren't bottling anything up."

I said as I looked at her. She looked at me and sighed.

"I was trying to stay strong for Daddy."

She said as she started crying.

"Come here."

I said, hugging her.

"The last words I ever said to him was that I hated him."

She sobbed into my shoulder.

"I know sweetheart. Don't dwell on that, okay? You can go in there and tell him whatever you want, Okay?"

I asked her.

"Will he be awake?"

"I'm not sure. But I promise he'll hear it. You know, no matter what you said or what happens, your Daddy loves you so much. Okay?"

"Okay."

She said as I wiped her tears.

"I know when Daddy wakes up you'll give him the biggest hug. And you can say everything you want to him, I promise."

I said.

"Is he gonna stay with Kylie?"

Aria asked as I sighed.

"I'm not sure baby. Let's just take everything day by day, Okay?"

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too Aria."

I said, hugging her.
