Danny's dream

He was in a shopping mall holding the hand of his mother. His birth mother. The one he'd always think of as 'mommy', no matter what Lilith did.

"She's your mother, you know," she said. "I just adopted you."

"Mom... why did you leave," Danny sighed.

"I said you weren't gonna see me again but I couldn't stay away," she replied. "Let's go buy some toys."

"Mom, did I die?"

"Yes baby, you did. Don't you understand yet? You're with her... forever."

"W...wait..."

"Don't be scared. I'm with you."

"Dad, too?"

"Of course. We're going to see him, when he gets off of work."

"Oh, okay..."

Danny's consciousness swam away and he was back in the room, Julie still asleep next to him. He wondered what she dreamed of for a bit, before closing his eyes and drifting into another dream.
