Chapter Twelve

Alastor couldn't help but smile at her words, after the gruelling day he had he needed to spend some time alone with his wife, the thought of curling up into her arms and holding her close to him, the intoxicating smell of magnolia flowers flooding his senses and pressing his lips into her sweet ones was all he could think of doing, even though he would never admit to anyone willingly "I would love that" he whispered back, he let go off her hand and placed his hand behind her back, Daisy bid her good nights to everyone at the bar, they all said their good nights back to her before Daisy and Alastor walked off back to their quarters, when both of them entered and Alastor locked the door shut, Daisy was at her vanity table taking off her hat and grabbing her usual nightwear from her drawers "so Love, whats made you so busy today?" Daisy questioned Alastor he was at the door, he was taking his pinstriped coat off hanging it up on the coat hanger on the door, showing his red shirt underneath, his sleeves rolled up showing his pale fur skin. 

"It's nothing for you to worry about Darling, it is just the perks of being an overlord" Alastor honestly spoke as he kicked his shoes off next to the door, showing off his hooves, he then went to the cabinet, opening the cabinet doors and pulled out an full crystal decanter full of whiskey which had an golden deer head shaped lid, and pulled out two glasses with the same golden deer head carved onto the glasses, he poured the two glasses halfway full, once he had finished pouring, his sat down on the armchair next to the fire, holding both glasses, Daisy had just finished getting dressed, her short pyjama set and her sheer dressing gown was on and tied, she put her clothes away and walked up to Alastor, he handed her the glass as he gestured for her to sit on his lap again, to which she did without a moment's hesitation, swinging her legs over the arm rest which were positioned near the fireplace, which warm glow felt welcoming on Daisy's hooves, Daisy rested her head on his shoulder, as both sipped on their drinks, the whiskey warmed up their throats as Daisy questioned "you sure everything is okay?" 

Alastor nodded with agreement, as he remembered his deal from yesterday, with his free hand he rubbed light circles on the side of her thigh "yes I am fine, how much do you remember about us?" the change of subject confused daisy but she didn't question why, after all he had promised tonight would be the night he told her everything about himself "I can only remember parts, some of my mind still feels foggy" she admitted, turning her head away from him with shame, Alastor lightly placed his free hand on her chin, gently turning her face towards him, her green eyes met his "do you want to remember?" Daisy nodded in agreement, "then I will show you everything from the beginning" he said with honesty, in that moment the static in his voice went, hearing his real voice both shocked and comforted Daisy as she watched Alastor closely, Alastor's hand loosened on Daisy's chin and using his powers, his hand glowed green, he started to use his magic into the fireplace which was glowing brightly and fiercely as images started to project in the flames "the truth will be shown in the flames" Alastor hauntingly said as Daisy's eyes didn't leave the fireplace as she watched the past unfold in front of her.

"Daisy Jane Johnson, I have some marvellous news to share with you..." the old man said cheerfully to his young daughter who was seven years old around this time, they were in his study which was a rectangular room, there was an fire place at right side, on the left side was an bookcase full of books, and an desk at the opposite side of the room, the concrete floor had an red frayed rug which stretched across most of the room, the little girl who was average sized was dressed in an green dress which reached past her ankles, she wore white socks with black shoes on, her black hair was up in an ponytail being held by an green ribbon "what is it father?" she sweetly questioned her father, her father was an man in his fifties, his black hair pined back, he was an chubby but friendly man, who wore an black pinstriped suit with white shirt, black bowtie and black shoes "there are some people I would like you to meet"  that is when the door once again opened and two strangers walked in "Daisy meet your new mother Lottie Johnston and your new brother Alastor". 

"Its a pleasure to finally meet you Daisy, you're father has told me so much about you" Lottie spoke sweetly to Daisy, an kind smile plastered on her kind face, her hair was dark brown and neatly put into a bun , her skin was tanned brown, her eyes were blue, she had an petite frame, wearing an lovely blue dress which went down to her ankles, the dress complimented her eyes, daisy excitedly ran up to the woman as she gave her a hug, the young woman knelt down and hugged the little girl back, after a few seconds she turned to her new brother who looked scared, he was slim build, he had the exact same brown hair which was short, brown eyes, he was slightly tanned, he wore an white shirt with brown pants and brown shoes, Daisy stood next to him "Hi new brother! I am Daisy" she held her hand out to him, but he got petrified and immediately ran behind his mother which made Daisy sad "oh do forgive Alastor, he is a very shy boy, he has never spoke a word to anyone" Lottie explained.

Daisy was definitely curious about her brother, for the last few days since she met her new family, she wanted to know more about him, but as soon as Daisy came close to him he would flee away from her, that night she was feeling defeated, she knew what would cheer her up, once she was sure that everyone was asleep, daisy snuck into her dad's study, on top of the fireplace was an radio, using her fathers chair she pushed the chair next to the fireplace which was dying down, she stood on the chair and turned the knob to turn it on, as soon as it was turned on the song You're The Cream In My Coffee by Annette Hanshaw played on the radio, Daisy jumped off the chair and started to sing and dance, pretending that an dashing gentlemen was doing the waltz with her, after a few minutes of dancing she saw something at the door, she gasped as it made her jump, she relaxed as she saw Alastor at the front door, he had been watching her in awe, he didn't understand why he felt so shy around her, she made his young heart beat, he felt nervous but excited around her, but he couldn't understand his feelings properly, which is why it scared him.

That is when Daisy held her hand out to him "come and dance with me brother" at first he was reluctant but after seeing her puppy eyes he agreed, as Alastor walked closer to Daisy a new song could be heard which was How About Me? by Waring's Pennsylvanians, the young boy's heart was racing fast, his hand's became sweaty as he stood next to her, she grabbed both of his hands gently slowly waltzing with each other, after a few seconds both of them got into the rhythm, for the first time in both of their life they were really enjoying themselves as they twirled along to the music, in the end both of them were in an giggle as Alastor picked Daisy up and spun her around, unfortunately the parents had been woken up by their giggles and the music, however when the parents watched the two kids dancing together they didn't want to stop them "oh look at them Lottie, they are getting along brilliantly" that is when Lottie said with a smile "oh Abraham, it warms my heart to see my child finally have a new friend".
