comment_ficIt's Thursday already! The last prompt that I have for you is looking back. Take a glance at the past or just over your shoulder. Remember something from ten years ago or what you had for breakfast this morning. Reflect or recall or flash back - as long as it involves looking back, it's good to go!
The rules:
-No more than five prompts in a row
-No more than three prompts per fandom
-If your prompts get answered, feel free to post more
-No spoilers in your prompt for at least a week after publication/air date
-If there are spoilers in your fic response, please warn and leave adequate space following the warning to let folks give it a pass.
Please take mercy on our hard working code monkeys and format your prompts properly (and try not to make them overly long).
For example:
-Stargate SG1, Cam, when he has his accident, all he can think about is his dad's
-Hawaii Five-0, Danny, on Grace's wedding day, all he can think about is holding her as a newborn
-Sanctuary, Magnus, 113 years is a long time to spend by yourself
Tag=lookingback
Enjoy!

Date: 2011-10-20 10:21 pm (UTC)He's known for years that this day (or one quite like it) would be coming but it still seems to soon.
He can remember as clear as yesterday the first time he held her in his arms. How small she had been then, how afraid he had been that he'd break her just by touching her.
He remembers the nurse asking him if he wanted to hold Grace now that Rachel had fallen asleep. Remembers the nurse lifting Grace from Rachel's arms with the ease of long practice and settling her into Danny's, careful to make sure Grace was being properly supported before she pulled away.
Danny hadn't even realized he wass crying over the miracle he was holding in his arms until a tear landed on his daughter's face. Carefully he wiped it away with his thumb.
In the present he feels a familiar hand wiping his own cheek and he smiles at Grace.
"Love you, Monkey." He says, silently promising her everything all over again.
"Love you too, Danno." There's tears in her eyes when they hug, but they never quite fall.
As much as he wants her to be seven years old again so he can take her home and protect her, she's happy and he would never do anyhting to keep her from that.
He glances around the room and catches the eye of Daniel's mother. They smile at each other, knowing they're both seeing their children as far younger than they really are.
