It happened again, didn't it? He said those words, those dreaded dreaded words. 'I don't want you' Drake had to say those words, he had to say those words in front of her didn't he? She'd heard that phrase so many times from other foster parents that didn't want her. Drake couldn't believe he had actually forcefully said those words, he couldn't believe the words had slipped out of his mouth, he couldn't imagine ever saying those to her. But he did, and he regretted it. Of course he did! What kind of father would Drake be if he didn't regret saying it to her?

Drake let a few stray tears rolled down his cheeks and into his hands. Drake hated himself, he messed up and now Gosalyn was going to be affected forever. He was strictly told never to say those words to her through parenting books and parenting blogs, and what did he go and do? Only just say it in front of her. He couldn't just make up an excuse and say he was angry while saying it, she wouldn't Believe him. He had to fix this, and fix this he was going to.

In Gosalyn's room.

Gosalyn was on her bed, feet at the pillow end of the bed and her head at the bottom end, her hands tucked underneath each other as her head lay on top of it sobs emanating around her. What did she do? Did she not clean her room? No it couldn't be that, she never cleaned her room, even on days when she was feeling nice enough to do it she still wouldn't clean her room. Did she not get a good enough report card this semester? Well she did get only one A, and that was in gym class. All the other letters were B's or C's, The lowest she got in on her report card was a C -,and even then, Drake was still proud of her, so it couldn't be that.

Then, why did he say those words to her? Why did he yell them more specifically? Why did he even have the nerve to say that to her? She did nothing wrong, at least, from what she knew of. She must've done something though, she must've! Otherwise Drake wouldn't of said those words! He still loves her deeply, she could see that in the fear and regret she saw in the mere seconds after he'd said those words. So he obviously didn't mean it, right? He didn't mean anything he said, right? But what if he did! What if he meant every single word? What if he didn't love her? What if he only adopted her to make himself look good? What if, everything they shared was a lie?

Gosalyn continued crying, physically hurt by the sentence.

"What did I do dad? What did I do to make you say those words to me? "She asked herself, continuing to sob loudly. Her tears had stained her bedsheets, but for once she didn't care, she did something wrong and her dad was mad at her. She continued to cry, feeling so much physical pain in her heart that she felt her heart was going to pop out of her chest because it hurt so much.

A few hours later, Drake had finally composed himself enough to talk to her. He walked up the stairs slowly, as if not careful they would break like glass. He could hear the creeks of the stairs only giving him grief the more stairs he climbed, a annoying reminder that he messed up everything, and no matter what he did nothing could salvage it. He finally made it to Gosalyn's room, the door was shut which only made Drake's heart sink even more. Drake pressed his ear to the door, listening for any sign that his adopted daughter was in there, and hadn't mercilessly decided to leave. The sobs and apologies Drake could hear coming from her room, physically and emotionally killed him. Hearing her say 'I'm sorry dad i'll do better' broke him. He should be the one apologising, he should be the one saying he'll do better, not her. It felt physically wrong for her to say those words over and over again, she did nothing wrong, Drake was the one that messed up, not her.

Drake slowly opened the door, Gosalyn barely noticing it being opened. Once the door was open Drake stood in shock, his hands covering his beak as he saw his daughter crying and still apologising. "Oh, Gosalyn..." Drake whispered, coming over and picking up his daughter and holding her close to him. "I'm so sorry dad..." Gosalyn cried out, causing Drake to hug her even more. Which in turn made her cry again.

"It's not your fault sweetie... It's not your fault... So please stop apologising, you did absolutely nothing wrong. I am in the wrong, I should've never said that to you... I know how easily upset you get when people say that to you... You are wanted, Gosalyn. I want you, and I always will. You're my little girl blue... And nothing will ever change that. And it's okay if you don't want to forgive me right now, I can't say that what I said to you was an accident, because I know by the way I said it, it didn't sound like it. But I love you, I love you so much and I hope you still do." Drake said, with tears streaming down his cheeks.

Gosalyn buried her head into the crook of his neck sobbing, clinging to him. "Don't leave... "She pleaded.

"I'm not going anywhere baby... You're stuck with me, forever, okay?" Drake said, nuzzling her beak.

The air fell comfortably silent in the room, as Drake still comforted his adopted daughter. He rubbed her back in circular motions shushing her and telling her it's okay' as he rubbed her back lovingly. Her sobs slowly calmed the more Drake rubbed back. It's so nice to be young duckling, just hearing her adoptive father shushing her and rubbing her back felt nice, no worries about crimes, no worrying about anything. It was her, him and the quiet sounds around her room. Sounds like, the clock ticking, the wind gently blowing on the window making a whistling sound, things like that in this moment were relaxing.

After about an hour of comfortable silence, Gosalyn turned over, looking up at her dad. "Hi Sweetie." Drake whispered, kissing her forehead. "I love you. "He said to her, she smiled and nuzzled her beak into his. "I love you too, dad." She said sweetly, Drake smiled kissing her forehead again.
