Branch's eyes widened in shock at his daughter's words, the little four year old looking right at him...

Could... could she see him?

"A... Azalea..." he muttered softly, seeing if the trolling would respond.

"Daddy!" she cried out with joy, instantly jumping up in her bed to hug her beloved father who she thought she would never see again. "You came back!"

Much to Branch's surprise... when his daughter hugged him... she didn't go through his body like other things would... instead she wrapped her little arms around him, burying her face in his chest.

"I missed you, daddy..." she muttered softly through her tears of joy.

     "Uh... I... I missed you too..." Branch said, looking down at his daughter in complete confusion...

     Finally, he smiled, hugging her back as he shut his eyes gently in pure joy.

     "I missed you so much..." he whispered, almost beginning to cry with all the emotions swirling through his brain. "But I promise... I'm never leaving again..."

     "Daddy!" a little shout suddenly rung out from behind them, Branch turning just in time for Twig to jump right into his arms with the biggest hug ever. "Daddy, daddy, daddy!"

     Branch couldn't help but laugh out in joy as both of his children climbed all over him.

     He wasn't even thinking about how this was possible anymore... the only thing he cared about... was that he was with his family...
