Aaron dozed off as he held her to him.

Keylee leaned into him.

Vik snuggled Aaron.

He put his arm around her.

Aaron smiled, kissing her head.

Keylee rested her head on his shoulder.

Bella walked into Keylee and Dimka's room. "Can Jesse and I go down to the pool?"

[bibliophile;]

Dimka looked up, and nodded. "Yeah," he said.

[~SuperGirl]

Bella smiled. "Thanks dad!"

Toby ran in. "I wanna go swim too!"

Keylee chuckled. "Well our swimsuits are still at home."

"There's a gift shop mom." Bella said.

Dimka smiled slightly. "Come on."

[~SuperGirl]

Keylee smiled, getting up. "Okay." She said.

Bella smiled. "Jesse, come on!"

~Skip two months~

Dimka laid in the bed of the house they’d rented in Alaska. He had told Keylee that he was going to lay down for a bit; he wasn’t feeling well. A few weeks ago, he was told he was on a paid leave from work. They doubled his pay just for him to stay home. That helped them a lot financially. He was also put on anti-depressants and sleeping pills. Most days, they worked well. He was happy and playful like he used to be. Today was not one of those days.

He got up and walked to the bathroom. After looking at himself in the mirror and reliving the fight with Kailyn that sparked this all, he opened the cupboard. Dimka grabbed his sleeping pills(a rather large bottle) and set them on the counter. He grabbed a pen and paper. He’d made up his mind. He flipped open the one subject notebook and began to write.

Bella
I’m sorry to be leaving you like this. I hope you’ll forgive me. Tell your mother I love her not a hair less than when we first met. Keep her sane, will you? Tell Kailyn I’m sorry for all I put her through and that I’ll watch over her and her family. Tell Aidan and Abbie that I love them and the same for Noah. This ‘crazy thief’ has retired. Tell Vik to help Aidan and Abbie through this too. Tell Julia and Rachel that I’ll be okay, up with Buddy 1 and Nana. It’s too bad Toby never got to meet her, isn’t it? Tell Tiger that I love him too. And my sisters. They’ll be okay.

And you, Bella. I love you too. Hell, if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be writing the note to you. I want you to know that I give you and Jesse my blessing. I’m sorry I won’t be here to give you away. But reserve me a seat because I’ll still be there. That day seems so far away now, but it’s not. I’ve taken the whole bottle of sleepers, it shouldn’t take long now. I love you, and goodbye.

So he laid in the bed, the folded note in his hand and BELLA written across it in big letters. He was unconscious, tangled in the blankets.

[~SuperGirl]

"Dad! I'm leaving with Jesse!" Bella yelled. "Dad?" She said, walking into the room. She opened the note, reading it. Tears sprang to her eyes. "Dad, wake up!" She screamed, shaking him.

Dimka was still unconscious. Jesse walked in. "Oh gosh..." He called 911.
