FANFICTION Cause Tammy inspired me
I was only just going to post one, but these two go hand in hand. Yes they are song fics. It's from Drift which almost no one has heard of, but ummm comments are always nice.
Michael stood outside the door of his ex-wife's house, waiting for his daughter Anastasia to emerge from within. "Hi Daddy!" A five year old Anastasia said smiling as she ran out the door.
Michael picked up Anastasia, then looked up to see Desire waving good-bye to Anastasia. Michael smiled and waved back. "Wave good-bye to Mommy, baby." He said softly. "So ... would you like to go have breakfast Ana?" The girl nodded as she jumped down and held tightly on to her Daddy's hand, as they walked together.
"Pick her up on a Tuesday
how about a kiss for you Daddy
and a big, squeeze hug?
We'll take the pancakes and eggs
I'll take some coffee in my mug."
Michael spent most of breakfast listening to Anastasia talk about her summer and everything she did. He then looked at his watch to see the time, and remembered she had a play date. "Let's go see your friends. Then we'll get ice-cream."
"Set her up on a play date
couple of her classmates are
meeting up at Riverside Park
Try to squeeze in the ice cream
Always seems my times on the
meter. When I met her on a
Tuesday and Thursday.
How the time slips away..."
Once again at the house of his ex-wife, Michael tried bargaining with her to spend more time with his daughter. "Desire please. All I'm asking for is a weekend every now and then." Desire sighed and sat down at the table with a cup of coffee. "Michael we set up the Tuesday and Thursday schedule, so we don't have to keep changing where 'Stasia sleeps, every other week." Michael sighed, "Please Des. Just a few weekends." Michael pleaded as Desire put her coffee mug in the sink. "Let me think about it."
Desire walked to the stairs and called up. "Anastasia ... come on, Daddy's here." Anastasia carefully ran down the stairs and gave Michael a hug. "Hi Daddy!" "Hi Princess." He greeted her with a warm smile and a hug, then ran his fingers through her soft brown hair. "Ready to go to the museum Princess?" "Yup!" The small girl replied eagerly with a jump. Giving her mother a hug she ran to the door. "Bye Mommy." Desire laughed at her excitement. "Bye Des."
"Pick her up on a Thursday
Think it's gonna rain
So we head to the museum up west
Cross the street to the bookstore
I make it to book four
'I'm sorry baby, but Daddy needs a rest.'"
Anastasia handed her father the fourth book she found from the shelf then climbed into his lap. "Read this one next Daddy." The little girl's voice chimed in. "Oh, Daddy needs a rest. I'm sorry baby." Anastasia looked disappointed but gave him a hug anyway. "Come on Ana. We gotta get going, baby doll." Anastasia began walking out of the bookstore then ran back when she realized Michael was putting away the story books. "Daddy come on." Michael smiled and took her hand. "Okay Princess." Half way to the subway Anastasia looked up to her Daddy wide-eyed. "Daddy .. can I have a ride on your shoulders, please?" She asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"As we walk to the subway
'Can I have a ride on your shoulders
Daddy, I'm so tired?'
Falls asleep on me each time
We get on the 1/9
If everything is fine."
Michael cradled the young girl who was now asleep, in his arms. Michael watched lovingly, and smiled gratefully down at his daughter. A silent tear slid down his cheek.
"Can you tell me why
Do I cry
Every time we say good-bye?
Through I try, I still fall behind
I'm flying blind
Will you remind me..."
Michael gently knocked on Desire's door so he wouldn't wake up Anastasia Desire answered the door in her pajamas. She allowed Michael to put her to bed. Michael was able to put Anastasia in pajamas without waking her. He then tucked her in and gave her a kiss goodnight. "Night night baby. I love you." He walked down stairs and waved goodnight to Des. "I'll see you next week. Please keep it in mind Des." Des nodded and showed him out.
"Tell me how
Do you fit all of your love
on a Tuesday and Thursday?
Tell me how...."
Michael arrived about 3 to pick up Anastasia after school, a half an hour early to spend more time with his daughter.
"Pick her up on a Tuesday
Now she's back in school
So I see her in the afternoon
I arrive kind of early
Watch her sit and draw pretty pictures
Of the sun and the moon"
"Come on baby, lets go get dinner and we'll get you home." Michael sighed at the short amount of time he had with his daughter, and gingerly took hold of the girls hand.
"Suddenly, I understand that she's
Used to it. Guess it's time for her
Daddy to get through it.
As life changes for one
Life changes for all."
Michael and Anastasia walked up to Desire's house. "Ok Ana baby. You're home." Anastasia smiled up at her father who gave her a wink and a hug as he knocked on the door.. Desire smiled and let them in. "Why don't you go get ready for bed 'Stasia. I'll be up in a bit to tuck you in." Anastasia nodded and gave her dad one last hug before going upstairs.
"Tell me why do I cry
Every time we say goodbye?
Through I try I still fall behind
I'm flying blind
Will you remind me..."
"Michael ... would you like a cup of coffee before you leave again?" Desire asked gently. "Ummm yes, please." He answered meekly. "Ok, Michael I was thinking about it. And I've decided that, this weekend, and a few others, you may have Anastasia."
Michael's face brightened and he jumped up to give her a hug. "Thanks Des. Thank you so much." Desire tried not to laugh in spite of Michael, but he could be adorable at times. "So I'll see you Friday?" She asked smiling. Michael nodded quickly, and finished his coffee. "Yup Friday, it is."
"Tell me how ...
Do you fit all of your love
On a Tuesday and Thursday?
Tell me how ..."
Michael tucked Anastasia in and kissed her goodnight. "Do I have to?" Her father nodded as he turned on the nightlight. "Yes baby, you do. Now, ... you already had a bath, watched T.V., a glass of water, and you went potty. Really Anastasia it's time for sleep."
Michael walked to the door and turned off the light, about to walk out of the room, until the small voice spoke up again. "Daddy ... will you tell me a story?" Michael smiled then sat down on the side of the young girls bed. "Alright one story but then it's bedtime, my love." The 5 year old giggled and snuggled under the covers, making room for Michael to sit. "Okay Daddy."
"Let me tell you a story
Long time ago, far far away.
Young man met a young girl
Feel in love with her then and
Maybe I still am today.
But that was then, And this is now."
"Was the girl Mommy?" Anastasia asked curiously." "Uh-huh. That's right. And I was the boy." Michael informed her.
"They were brave and determined
Set to prove to the world true love endures
Never cared for the sermons
How could anyone close enough to know us
Even question if we're sure?
Love heals the wound, but it's not always the cure."
The little girl looked confused as she rubbed her eyes with a yawn. "If you and mommy loved each other, how come you don't now?" Her percousious mind pondered. Michael pushed some hair away from her eyes as he kissed Ana's forehead. "Well kiddo, there's a lot of times people don't love each other the way they did when they met. So instead of fighting they agree, or decided no to be with each other so the don't fight, and make each other unhappy. It kind of means they don't love one another anymore." Anastasia rubber her eyes again. "Will you and Mommy ever not love me?" Michael's eyes got wide as he hugged her tightly. "Never sweetheart. We'll always be there and love you." "But why don't you love each other?" The young girl inquired.
"Slowly things went sour
And then quickly ran down hill
Then faced the darkest hour
But refused to pay the bill
There will always be somebody
to blame. But one thing still
remains the same."
"So Mommy loves me?" Ana asked. "Yes." Said Michael holding her close. "And you love me?" She asked looking up at him. "As much as ever. ... "This doesn’t make sense huh baby?" Anastasia shook her head 'no'. "It will soon Baby Ana. It will." He said with a sigh. "But why aren't you together?" She asked half asleep. Michael took a deep breath and wrapped his fingers in the girls hair, who was fighting sleep. "Because we made plans that didn't work."
"Your Mother she loves you
And your Father he loves you
But sometimes things don't go
The way you planned.
Your Mother she needs you
And your Father he needs you
Though it may take a little while
To understand.
Emotions run high in the blink of an
eye. 'Still together' becomes 'torn
apart.'
But your Mother she loves you
And your Father he loves you too
And that is the state of the heart"
Michael laid the girl back in bed after holding her, and put the blankets around her. Michael laid down next to her.
"Do you even remember all the
Time we spent together Mom and
Dad and you - the family? There
Were days of fun and crazy. There
Were nights of just plain lazy. It was
Amazing when we willed it to be.
We really tired, but there's only so
Much pain a smile can hide"
Anastasia Fell asleep as Michael told her the story. Michael kissed her good night, then went to turn off the light, as he stood by the door way.
"So there's a promise that we're making
An oath we both must share
Ain't no weltching ain't no breaking
When you need us well be there
And there will always be somebody to blame
But one thing still remains the same...."
"Good night baby." Michael smiled and blew her a kiss.
"But your Mother she loves you
And your Father he loves you too
And that is the state of the heart."
Michael stood outside the door of his ex-wife's house, waiting for his daughter Anastasia to emerge from within. "Hi Daddy!" A five year old Anastasia said smiling as she ran out the door.
