"About here." I said, touching halfway up my thigh. "I'm still trying to learn to walk with it." I said.

"Lucas, why didn't you want to tell me about this? Did you really think I would judge you for this?" I asked.

"I don't know... It just made me feel weak." I admitted.

"Lucas." I whispered, reaching out and touching his hand. "This does not make you weak. This makes you brave and strong. You are so strong to be able to overcome this and continue going." I said.

"But I haven't overcome it. I can barely walk, let alone run or jump." I sighed.

"But you are. You are so strong Lucas. I will be glad to tell Iris that you are her father." I told him.

"You won't have to tell her. Because I'll always be there to remind her myself." I promised, looking into her eyes.

"Lucas... Is your leg the reason you don't want a relationship?" I asked.

I hesitated. "Yeah... Part of the reason. I'm just not strong enough to protect and take care of you. And all my money goes to medical bills."

"Lucas I don't need your money and you've already been such a huge help keeping Iris safe and happy." I said.

"I know you don't need my money. But I want to give it. It's my job as a dad to take care of her." I said.

"You can take care of her without giving us your money." I said softly.

"ITs hard to explain, Rowan. I just feel like Its my job, and I hate not doing it." I admitted. "I promise one day I'll pay you back."

"I don't need you to Lucas." I said softly. I ran my hand over his thigh, feeling where the prosthetic met with his real leg. "What I need is for you to be here now." I said softly.

I couldn't help but smile softly. "I can't think of a single girl who would put up with me after everything I've put you through." I teased softly. But I was serious. I left her when she needed me the most.
