The winner takes it all,
The loser has to fall,
It’s simple and it’s plain.
Why should I complain?
After leaving his luggage in the lobby, Robin went straight to the girls’ room.
He paused at the door for a moment to watch them sleep.
All three were sleeping soundly and peacefully, unsuspecting of the terrible time they were going through because of him.
“Forgive me, my little ones, I never meant to do this to you.”
First, he said goodbye to Wanda. Always cheerful and lively, the baby woke up right away, waving her little hands at her father.
“Goodbye my feisty little redhead, be good to mommy and don’t forget about me”, he said, giving her a kiss.
Then he carefully returned her to her crib.
“Sleep well, and remember, Daddy loves you.”
Next, he said goodbye to Carrie, the other twin, who, unlike her sisters, was not yet asleep.
“Goodbye, sweetie, I know you feel scared at night, but there’s nothing to be afraid of. Just remember how much I love you and everything will be okay”, he said, kissing her tenderly.
He was about to return her to the crib when he noticed something he hadn’t noticed before: Carrie had pitch-black eyes, where did she get them from? Jessi’s and Wanda’s were clear, just like his and Ann’s,
Her hair was black too, like his, only his real color wasn’t that, where had Carrie’s come from then? Oh well, Wanda was a redhead and neither he nor Ann were, probably one of their ancestors had hair or eyes of some other color?
Never mind, both Carrie was his daughter regardless of her features, and having to leave her was breaking his heart. “Try to get some sleep, honey, I’ll be back to get you”, he said, putting her back in her crib, as carefully and tenderly as he had done with Wanda.
Finally, he went to say goodbye to Jessi, she woke up as soon as she felt his arms holding her.
“Daddy, hi”. Her tender, drowsy little voice instantly brought tears to Robin’s eyes.
“Hi, sweetie, sorry if I woke you, I just wanted to say goodbye.”
“Where you going?”
“On a trip, as always… Tell me, did you like your birthday party?”
“Yeah.”
“Good, now you’re a big girl, I hope you’ll look after your sisters when I’m gone”.
Unable at his age to understand what his father was talking about, but sensing the sadness in his words, Jessica just hugged him warmly.
“I love you, daddy”, she answered.
“And I love you, please don’t you forget it”, Robin whispered in her ear.
“Now go back to sleep,” he added, concluded, placing her back in her bed.
“Daddy, stay,” she pleaded.
“I can’t right now, sweetheart, but I’ll be back, I promise,” Robin told her, struggling to keep his voice from breaking, and kissed her on the forehead. He had to stay with her for a few more minutes until she finally fell asleep.
Before leaving, he paused at the door again to take one last look at each of his daughters.
“This farewell is not forever, we’ll see each other again soon, I swear.”
The gods may throw a dice,
their minds as cold as ice.
and someone way down here
loses someone dear.
