think. We need to assure her that you aren’t going to leave her for good.”
"It won't be for good," Mikhail said touching her arm lightly. "But if we don't deal with this now it could endanger our relationship with her later and neither of us wants that D. So any help you can give us in explaining this to her in a way that doesn't make us sound like total assholes would be helpful."
“I will do all that I can in order to ensure that she realizes that this isn’t your choice.” She smiled and nodded, “Don't worry. I will make sure that she knows that you aren’t leaving her by choice, and that you will be back.” She looked up between both men, “You will come back, right?”
"Every time." Mikhail said softly as he ran his fingers over her arm. "For both of you," he murmured quietly. Looking up as he heard the door open he sighed, "Looks like we need to do this sooner rather than later," he smiled as Honey came racing into the room.
Honey bounded into the room and smiled, “Did you know that these guys are all like real life G.I. Joe’s?” She moved to Mikhail and climbed up into his lap and then reached out for Gareth’s hand. “My daddies are real life G.I. Joe’s mommy. Did you know that?”
“No honey I didn’t but that’s okay. Your daddies and I need to talk to you Honey. They have a very important meeting that they have to go to. They need to go and make sure that some people are safe Honey, but that means that you won’t see them next weekend and maybe the weekend after. With where they are going they won’t have cell service, and won’t be able to text you or call you.”
“But.” Honey turned her water filled eyes up to her father’s and frowned, “But you won’t forget me, will you?”
Shaking his head Mikhail hugged her to him, "We could never forget you Honey," he said honestly. "We're hoping it only takes a week but we can't be sure. If this wasn't so important, and a personal favor to our former CO, we wouldn't be going. But it is and we have to," he murmured resting his cheek to her hair.
Honey nodded and hugged Mikhail back. “Promise Daddy Mik?” She asked with tears shimmering in her eyes. “Cause I need to know that you won't leave me forever. I just am getting to know you both, and I really don’t want to stop getting to know you or my uncles.”
Nodding he held her close to him, "I promise sladkaya, we'll both be back," he whispered quietly against her cheek. Rubbing her back he leaned back to look at her, "Just keep track of everything you do while we're gone so you don't forget anything. We'll want to hear everything Honey," he said before letting out a breath. "Go and give Gareth a hug too," he said softly easing his hold on her.
Honey moved easily from one man to another, wrapping her arms tightly around Gareth and burying her face against the crook of his neck. The move made Daisy’s heart clench and she knew that there were going to be some sleepless and tear filled nights ahead of them. Looking to Mikhail she said, “We will keep track of everything. Since Penny is off doing her physical therapy as well as checking in with her bosses at the airline, I will have a few days off with Honey and we will make sure to document everything, promise.” She smiled and added, “But you guys have this weekend, so make it count.”
Nodding Mik watched Gareth speaking softly to Honey for a moment before turning his gaze back to Daisy. "I'm sure we can keep her busy and occupied for the weekend. Not sure if she'll still be conscious when you come to pick her up," he smiled slightly. "She'll likely be worn out quite well and should sleep like the dead before school on Monday."
Daisy nodded and sighed. “All right kiddo, get over here and give me a hug.” When Honey walked her way Daisy wrapped her in her arms. “I love you Honey; to the moon and back again.”
“And I love you too mommy. You sure you are going to
