[ BLANKET ]: sender wraps another blanket around the receiver to try and stop them from shivering. From Maddie
"They're doing everything they can for her."
"Everything they can? Okay, what does that mean? Is she-- did she--"
"Lieutenant. I promise you. They're doing everything they can."
Everything they can.
Her choice of words meant something. Something they weren't telling him, something they didn't want to tell him. Had Maria's heart stopped again? Did she stop breathing again? The thought made his heart shatter, but he kept himself from falling part. Inside, he was scared, inside he was falling apart, but on the outside, he remained intact. He remained calm and kept his face composed. Steady posture. Controlled breathing. True to his nature.
All for one reason.
"Is Momma gonna be okay, Daddy?"
Maddie. Her daughter. Their daughter. Their beautiful, bright and sweet little girl that was sat on his lap with a blanket around her body, shielding her from the damp clothes he was wearing. They dried a bit since pulling Maria out of the water, but they were still a little cold and damp, and yet, she insisted on sitting on his lap and Horatio wasn't going to deny her. He could never deny her. Especially not now when she needed comfort, when she needed reassurance. Her question broke him a little more on the inside. Because he wanted to tell her yes, he wanted to believe that Maria would be okay, but... he'd already broken one promise to them: the promise that he'd keep them safe from Adam.
Maddie was kept safe, but not because of Horatio. Because of Maria.
He'd been at work. Called away for the murder of a police officer that turned out to be Adam's doing. A murder that was meant to draw Horatio out and away from Adam's target: Maria. And it worked. It worked and now Maria was here, in the hospital, fighting for her life for the second goddamn time and he--
"Daddy?"
That sweet little voice put a stop to Horatio's thoughts, it put a stop to the darkness threatening to swallow him whole, and he swallowed the knot in his throat before finally managing to look down at the little girl that he promised to take care of if anything happened to her mother. If anything happened to one of the people that he loved most in the world, the other sitting on his lap looking up at him with those big worried eyes.
His arms wrapped further around Maddie and he offered her the warmest smile he could muster, which seemed to be enough because he could feel her relaxing into him. "She will." Horatio said. Though he couldn't know for certain, the words didn't feel like a lie. They felt... true. They felt right to say. Because this was Maria. She was fighter, she was a survivor. She was stronger than anyone else he'd ever met.
"Are you scared?" She then asked and that gave him pause. It hit him. It hit him hard and for a second, his expression nearly cracked. He thought about Maria - pale, unmoving, barely breathing - and he had to push that image from his mind. Instead, he replaced it with her smile. He replaced it with Maria's smile, lighting up whatever room she was in, and her laughter doing just the same. He pictured Maddie with her, giggling along with her, the two of them on the couch and Maria tickling her after they spent some time coloring. He pictured himself standing just to the side watching the heart warming scene take place, watching the two loves of his life, his two favorite girls, laughing wildly. His favorite sound. His favorite sight. Them.
Finally, he answered, smoothing his hand over her hair gently. "I'm worried." He admitted quietly. "But your Momma's strong." He reminded her, smiling. "Right?"
Maddie nodded and leaned against him, sniffling. "When I'm hurt, Momma always kisses me better." She said. "Is that what you did, Daddy? When Momma wasn't waking up, you kissed her better."
That warmed his heart, melted it completely. It mended the shattered pieces back together and he hugged her just a little tighter, unable to help the smile that formed on his face. The first smile in hours. God, she was so sweet, so innocent, completely untouched by the cruelty of the world around her and he wanted to keep it that way for as long as he possibly could. So he couldn't bring himself to tell her that wasn't how it worked, that he didn't waken her with a kiss. Not exactly. He supposed in a way, he did, but there was more to it than that. "I... suppose in a way, I did." He said with a warm smile, pressing a kiss to the top of her head with a soft sigh.
Suddenly Maddie was climbing off of his lap, confusing Horatio, but he let her. His arms loosened around her and he'd been about to ask what she was doing when she then unwrapped the blanket from around her body and wrapped it around his. "You're shivering, Daddy."
Horatio hadn't even noticed. He'd been so focused on Maria, and so focused on Maddie, that he wasn't paying any attention to himself and he could just hear Maria scolding him for it that made that smile on his face grow. But Maddie's concern for him, that gentleness and love in her heart, it was incredibly touching and it made his heart feel warmer, made his shivering calm. "Thank you, sweetheart." He chuckled, holding his arms open. "But there's plenty of blanket for both of us. C'mere." He invited her back onto his lap which she happily accepted, instantly climbing and cuddling into him. Horatio let out a playful growl and closed his arms, and the blanket around her, completely covering her little body which had her erupting into a fit of giggles that filled the waiting room. Some looked over at them with a smile.
"Are you comfortable in there?" Horatio asked, opening the blanket just enough so he could look down at her and grinning when she looked up at him, still giggling.
"Daddyyyy, I can't see!"
"Oh, sorry." He apologized with a chuckle, moving the blanket down so it wasn't covering her head any more, just their bodies. Keeping them both warm.
Her giggling started to quiet down. "You're so silly, Daddy. I bet Momma's gonna think so, too, when I tell her." She smiled, laying her head against his chest as she settled.
Her words made Horatio smile, made him feel certain that Maria was going to be okay. Because they were here waiting for her and she knew that. Maria wouldn't give up, not on them, not on herself, not on the beautiful life they'd started building together. And so, with a smile, he pressed his lips to the top of her head and sighed softly, his eyes closing. "Yeah..." He whispered. "I think so, too." He said, tightening his arms around his daughter once again, feeling her relaxing against him, eventually feeling her fall asleep against him. And while she slept, he held her. While their little girl slept, he prayed. He hoped.
He thought about her.
Hoping that somehow, his thoughts of her would reach her.
We're right here, sweetheart. We're right here waiting for you. Everything will be okay.

this was a request from @kk2016 Hi!! could you write about being pregnant with Harry but no one knew so you guys show up to the Grammys toge
I was just peacefully watching H's stream and then I suddenly see this-
Why-
Just why-
Oh and also I have no idea anymore how to tell the time in a stream so I can't tell that either xD
harry overstimulating you🥴 “i’m too sensitive, h” “no, i think you’ve got a few more in you” 🤠
ugh he’d be mocking you so much as he did it too. an eyebrow raise at you saying that you’re too sensitive, “what was that? must’ve heard you wrong. i just know that my good girl wouldn’t be trying to get out of this, would she?” and then when you start whimpering, “lovey, we’ve barely made it past two-” and then tsking “should’ve known better then to play with my little princess when she’s tired hmm” and you think that he’s going to stop because of that comment but no, “i guess that’s too bad for her. she wouldn’t want to make daddy mad, would she? and she knows he’ll be mad if she doesn’t take it like a good girl. should be lucky ‘m giving it to you in the first place”
Dads, you gotta fix her hair for school!
Damn this was hard.
Will is absolutely unskilled at hairdo's, he might try to braid it, but that's it. Hannibal would go for classical styles, certainly with lots of velvet bows, and he's the type to do his daughter's hair even when she's much older.
I wanna play too: what did daddies gave me for christmas? 🎀
Daddy Will knows you like to read esoteric books and knows you love writing so a beautiful book and beautiful notebooks.
Daddy H also gifts you with fancy writing tools and this ring because he's morbid.
Which view would you prefer princess?
Refer back here whenever you get foolish ideas about being anything other than a beta loser and remind yourself what a real man looks like.
Then message me to say thank you like a good girl…
