Joel didn’t think he’d ever have kids again after Sarah. He wouldn’t allow himself to dream of it- but then you happened and it all went so fast…

You were 4 now, and dammit joel was so completely I. Love with you in the best way. He was so proud to be your father and he’d do anything to keep you safe- like he couldn’t for Sarah.

You’re sat on his lap as he plans the route for his next mission and he’s helping you spell “And what’s this one baby?” He kisses your cheek softly as he points out the name of a place on the map.
