Summary: Miles comforts his son after he has a bad dream.
Disclaimer: These characters are never mine.
Miles remembers the first time he tried some of his favorite meals. He hated them, but over time he grew to love what he once thought tasted strange. He remembers the last meal he had with his family before heading off to Hogwarts to start his first year. It was a joyous occasion and his family felt so proud of him. They were excited for him, but he knew that excitement came withe expectation. Unfortunately, he also remembers the last dinner the Bletchley family had before his parents divorced. Each piece of food made those emotions flood back and it was as though he was reliving everything. He didn't understand why he was doing this to himself. He wasn't going to turn out to be like his father. He didn't even know why he thought this was the case, aside from the fact they shared DNA.
As he got out of the shower and was preparing for bed, he heard his son cry from his own room. Alicia started to get up from her spot on the bed but Miles stopped her gently and said, "I got this." He walked quietly to the room, not knowing what to expect when he walked in. Alicia usually beat him to the punch in such situations.
"What's wrong?" he asked him quietly as he entered the bedroom.
"I had a bad dream."
"What was it about?"
"I dreamt I couldn't find you or mom. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find you. It was scary. I was alone in the world. I don't ever want to feel that sad again," he replied, a frown on his face.
"Your mother and I aren't going anywhere."
"You promise?"
"Yes, I promise. Go back to bed. We all have nightmares from time to time and it's important to realize that it's normal. It doesn't mean those dreams are going to come true."
These words seemed to provide Miles' son with some relief and he passed out fairly quickly afterwards. As he closed his son's bedroom door, he couldn't help but smile and think about all the fun things he would do with his son as he aged. He was going to make different choices and be the father he wanted for himself to his son.
