James nodded. He stood back up and helped pack the SUV. Then he slipped into Becky's bedroom and packed her a travel bag - her favorite toys, some clothing that Ella hadn't packed, her textured toys that held her attention now that bright colors couldn't.
Then he settled on the edge of the bed and took a few moments to just look at her - she was so tiny, so fragile, her little chest rising and falling as she slept. He knew, under her shirt, she was a mess of scars from her throat to her belly. She was so beautiful... He reached up and touched her belly though her shirt, then slipped his hand under, feeling the soft fur of her belly marred by a network of scars.
She whined and started to stir. "Hey, Beck... We're gonna go for a trip, okay? We're gonna go somewhere fun. You and me and your momma and Thomas and Ella and Kevan. All of us." James kept his voice low and quiet. "So we gotta get dressed so we can go, alright?"
Becky whined again but nodded. She started to get up, clinging to James until he put her upright.
