Victor held a saddened, pained expression as he spoke. " Well... Anna. Not my mother, someone else. You must've seen her at school a few times. "

" Really? Nothing else? " Maria looked unamused.

"Yeah, I knew her. We...didn't have the best relationship with each other. Me and her hated each other a lot, but now I feel bad that she's gone..."

"Yeah, pretty much. But I couldn't stand to do that. I went out riding horses, watching rodeos in another town."

" Yeah.. I found her dead.. with a note written for me. Broke my heart, I never forgave myself. Her last words, last wishes.. she just wasn't to see me alive and well again and I couldn't even give her that much. I miss her now, but she is in a better place.. I put her to rest. "

" Well that sounds like fun, what does a horse look like? "

Alaska was silent, feeling bad for him. "Hey, um...my dad told me this before he went to work one day, and nobody else knows except for me, but...he said that I was a surrendered orphan, but I'm not sure whether I believe that. I mean, how could they find another kid that looked exactly like me? I mean...surely I wasn't, right?" She actually couldn't remember being in a hospital or an orphanage or on her old doorstep. The last thing she remembered was growing up at her dad's house...

"Hmm..." Lani wasn't exactly sure how to describe it, so she decided to draw one. "Let me show you." She got a piece of paper and a pen and sketched out a horse

" Nah, I doubt you were an orphan, you have a twin sister for gods sake. Unless the odds were just that good, you aren't an orphan. " Victor said confidently, sure she was her fathers actual daughter. He held her closer now, and soon he halted as the music piece ended. " I loved the dance, Darlin', we should do it again sometime. " Victor grinned, giving her a peck on the cheek before letting her go.

Maria's eyes seemed to twinkle with curiousity as she looked at the drawing. " It looks very pretty! "

Alaska nodded. "Yeah, you're right. And we should do this again sometime." She could almost imagine that everything was normal again and they had just gone on a date. She didn't step back after he had let her go. She shuddered when the cold air hit her

"Thank you! I wasn't too bad at art. That's what a horse looks like. If there are even any more horses alive."

Victor chuckled softly and put his arm back around her. He didn't want her to get too cold as he knew that it would be bad for her at this current moment. " Better? " He asked, voice soft as always and filled with the same loving tone he would always have when talking to her.


" I bet there are some, we see dogs and cats so there must be other things too. "

Alaska smiled. "Much better." She buried her head into his chest, loving the feel of his warmth. Her goosebumps that had formed on her arms were slowly fading

"True, but what would they eat?"

Victor grinned softly enjoying the fact she was close to him. He wanted this to last forever, but he knew all good things would come to an end. " Alaska, " the tone of his voice was odd, both happy and sad. " Do you think our children will love me with my... problem... "

" Grass? "

Alaska pulled away from him so she could look into his eyes. "Of course they will! You're their dad! They'll probably love you unconditionally like I do."

"Won't the zombies just eat them?"
