>>70117162That's written from Ripley's POV. Sam's is:
>Be a ptero-mommy to two little bundles of joy.>One works himself to the bone, the other struggles to fit in. >She struggled finding herself, finding what makes her happy but finally during her senior year a nice human boy came along.>I was a bit worried he might just flare her problems rather than be an ear. Immaturity and inexperience, you know?>I was thankfully proven so very wrong.>She'd come home smiling, beaming from ear-to-ear. Barely even fighting with her father, if at all.>It's like she was a new person.>Slowly I watched her find somewhere to fit in even if it took a massive internal struggle. Finding a place to be relaxed and happy. I couldn't help myself in swelling with pride as I watched her slowly shake off all her anger and hatred.>Almost over the moon as I helped fit her into that purple dress. Gorgeous and powerful, fitting her so well. Even if Rip wasn't the biggest fan of how much scale it showed.>I cried after I sent her out. My little girl leaving the nest. Starting her own life, her own family and happiness. Rip told me I was overreacting, that this was just a prom date. I knew better than that.>Even when life still insisted on getting in the way, forcing the two into a long distance relationship the effect he had never left.>She worked harder than I've ever seen her work. She had something to fight for and by God as her witness she wasn't stopping until she had it.>The second I heard Anon was back I marked my calendar. Quietly counting the days down until I heard the word 'wedding' or even 'grandchild.'>Didn't have to wait very long at all.
