*He kissed her, wiping away the tears*
"It's all right. All I care about is that you are here, and you're alive."

"It just doesn't feel like it sometimes- Not entirely."
*She started to sigh again, but stopped herself and forced a smile.*
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be like this."

*A tender kiss, this time*
"Don't worry about it. It hasn't changed the way I feel about you."

*She wrapped her arms around him tightly.*

"You're a wonderful father."
*She gave a humorless laugh.*

*He kissed her, as though trying to stop those words*
"Renn, she understands the situation. She loves you, and I know she doesn't care what you are. I can see that you do have an influence, hmm? She listens."

"Even so, I wish I could be there more..."
*She shook her head, trying to chase away the thoughts.*
"I don't mean to be so pessimistic."

"Never annoying."
*She smiled, more genuinely this time, and kissed him.*
