"Don't worry, bud...I'm here." Dixon said, his voice going quiet and trailing off as his own sleep came up on him.

Griffith stared in disbelief for a moment.
Darcy had gotten hurt that bad? Oh God... this was all Griffith's fault. If he'd just been quicker in getting Darcy to the house, if he had avoided the "accident", none of this would have happened.
"Baby...baby, I'm sorry." Griffith said before moving to wrap himself around Harper.
Darcy fell sleep, Dixon's hand between his own tightly, as if to make sure he didn't leave or disappear without Darcy knowing.

Harper leaned her forehead on his good shoulder carefully, taking a deep breath. "It'll be okay. It'll be alright." she said, not sure if she was telling him or herself. "I'll help him through whatever."
"Yeah, I know...he knows that, too." Griffith said, tilting his head to leave a soft kiss against Harper's temple. He reached up to place his hand at the back of her head, gently smoothing her hair as she nestled against his chest. "Don't forget...I've got you, punk." He crooned lightly.
Harper let out a shaky breath then and reached up to pet his cheek gently. "I-I've got you too. Always will. I love you so much, Griffith Fitz." she murmured.
"I love you too, baby." Griffith spoke quietly as his lips gently moved against her skin. He pulled back, only to reach down to touch her chin with his able hand, tilting her face upwards so he could place several soft pecks to her lips.
If there was one good thing about that Godforsaken nightmare, it was that Harper was at least his silver lining. He had Harper, just like she had him, and, God... he loved that girl.
