Hey hon ♥️ Hope you getting better. - Could you do a short story where Higgs doughter gets kidnapped and Higgs follows them. But when he gets there no one is there. A moment later Sam comes in with his baby girl save by his side. He is just as surprised to see Higgs as Higgs is to see Sam. His kid runs up to him and cries while he holds here close. Telling her she's save now and nobody can hurt her. - Thank you so much for all your amazing stories. Keep up the great work! 💕😊

@lucyfer-thorn I’m doing my best! It’s been tough but I’m still fighting. And I absolutely can write you this! Enjoy hon :D!

Higgs was closing in on the location. He could feel his heart thundering deep inside his chest, echoing loudly in his ears as adrenaline coursed through his veins. The last time Higgs had felt so helpless, Gene had been shot and was dying in his arms. That had been years ago, and he tried not to let it fog up his mind as he desperately searched for his little one, Skylar. 

Gene and Skylar had gone off on their monthly summit trip up the mountains to camp for a few days while Higgs was networking in the town two days East from their home, trying to build up connections so Gene and he could open up their own business. Everything had been going well, until Higgs returned home to find Gene on the ground in front of their home, bleeding terribly and beaten to a pulp. Skylar was nowhere to be seen. 

After Higgs tended to her wounds, Gene spilled everything. A pack of MULEs had gotten a hold of Skylar. Gene had fought them off, killed a few, but as soon as she had taken heavy blows, Skylar came out of her hiding spot and tried to defend her mama, stabbing at the attackers with the knife Higgs had made for her. 

The rest happened so fast that Gene couldn’t piece together much other than they had beaten her within an inch of life and took Skylar off somewhere. To say Gene felt guilty for losing their child was an understatement. Higgs reassured her he’d get their daughter back and told Gene to stay behind so she could recover and stay put in case Skylar got away and went home. Now back in the present, Higgs was seething with terrible rage as he drew closer to the location of where the MULEs were at. He hadn’t felt this much anger in years, and it downright scared him to a degree. Regardless, if a hair on his little one was plucked or not, Higgs was going to make his daughter's assailants suffer, no matter how slowly he’d need to take things. They were going to pay for what they had done to Gene too, ripping her child away. 

Higgs kicked down the door to the old abandoned building, searching the area and on the defense. His eyes widened as he came to the realization that nobody was home. There were no MULEs, no signs that life had been around in ages, and after much digging, there was no trace of Skylar. Higgs’s fists clenched as he growled, feeling anger at himself rise. He ended up punching a rotten door nearby, blowing a hole into the material.

“Fuck!” Higgs exclaimed under his breath, feeling himself quake out of frustration. He rubbed his hair back and let out a sigh, shaking his head as he made his way back out. The MULEs could have been days ahead of him now. Higgs was starting to lose hope. He didn’t have enough juice leftover from his DOOMs to help. 

Higgs rushed out of the building then froze upon hearing a noise. Several branches were being stomped on by the sound of large feet followed by another pair trailing close. Higgs pulled his knife out, glaring towards the direction of the intruders. When they came out of hiding, he froze. Higgs’s eyes widened as he nearly dropped the knife in shock. Sam Bridges stood before Higgs, his hand holding onto Skylar’s little fingers as they stared right back at Higgs with the same shock and awe as he had for them. 

“Papa!” Skylar pulled away from Sam before he could stop her, his shock ever-growing as the little five year old darted away from him and ran into Higg’s legs as he crouched down and started peppering her face with kisses. Relief washed over him like a drug as he embraced his little one tightly, breathing deeply as he nuzzled and rocked Skylar back and forth while her little hands tightly gripped around his neck. 

“Skylar, baby girl--you okay?” Higgs asked as he pulled away, wiping the tears from Skylar’s eyes as she nodded in between cries. Higgs looked over her concerned, barely acknowledging Sam was there. 

“Did they hurt you?” Higgs asked rapidly, his tone filled to the brim with worry as Skylar shook her head. 

“Sammy found me. He saved me from them. They took his daughter too.” Skylar said and then turned, pointing towards Sam who stood his ground. Higgs’s eyes trailed up to his former nemesis as he stood up, keeping his eyes on Sam. There was a nerve-wracking silence between the two men, acknowledging one another, and at the same time, old wounds began to resurface in their memories. 

“Sam fucking Bridges.” Higgs said lowly as Skylar glanced between the two men before taking refuge behind Higgs’s leg, peering at Sam from around the corner of her dad’s body. Sam gave a nod and gestured towards Skalyar, his face in disbelief. 

“Did I hear that right? She called you papa.” He asked curiously as Higgs let out a tired laugh. 

“Yeah, you heard right.” Higgs said firmly as Sam looked between the two. He could see it now. Why Skylar had reminded him of someone that had made him uncomfortable before. It was their eyes. Even a little one like her had the same ferocity as Higgs. 

Higgs made a bit of a face, glancing around Sam as he gestured. “Where’s your girl?” 

“Hm?” Sam was taken aback until he realized Higgs was referring to Louise. He grunted before speaking, keeping his features stoic. 

“Lou is safe. She’s back at our camp. I came to return Skylar when she said her family lived close. Jesus, this is fucking weird.”

“You don’t say.” Higgs countered with a smirk. Skylar tugged on his pants as Higgs looked down curiously. 

“Papa, do you know him?” Skylar asked as Higgs let out a sigh and looked at Sam with contempt. 

“I don’t know Sam, do we know each other?” Higgs said it in such a way that Skylar thought it was innocent, but it made Sam more nervous. 

“I’m not here to cause a problem. I found her family, and now I’m going to return to mine.” Sam said as a matter of fact. Higgs tensed up but then crouched down to pick up Skylar, holding her close to him as he stared at Sam then gazed at his daughter affectionately. 

“Mama’s worried about you Pipsqueak, let's get you home.” Higgs said softly to Skylar as Sam shook his head.

“Mama?” 

“You got something you want to share with the class, Bridges?” Higgs asked, raising a brow as Sam as he held up his hands in surrender. Higgs had to chuckle momentarily, getting distracted once more by Skylar poking at him for attention. 

“Papa, can Sam and Lou come home with us?” She pleaded as Higgs could feel his heart sink. Honest to god, he didn’t want anyone from the past close to him or Gene. Nonetheless, his daughter's request got under his skin. He knew deep down he owed Sam for saving his little one. 

“Do you and Pipsqueak number two have anywhere to go?” Higgs asked, bitterness laced in his tone as Sam shrugged. 

“Like I said, we have a camp but after the MULEs took her and Skylar I’m not feeling as safe. If it's not too much trouble--”

“Believe me, it is. I’m only doing this for her.” Higgs said, gesturing to Skylar with a slight tilt of his head as he sighed. “Well, we better get this fucking show on the road.”

“Papa.”

“Yeah, sweetie?”

“Be nice to him.” Skylar’s tone was firm as Higgs raised his brows at her while Sam stifled a laugh. Higgs let out a soft chuckle, nuzzling his nose against Skylars as she laughed. 

“That’s gonna be very hard, but Papa will try.” 

“Mama will like him.” Skylar said proudly, looking at Sam for a moment as he smiled before Higgs rolled his eyes, murmuring Gene better not. Higgs started to get a move on, going the way Sam and Skylar had come from, heading towards the camp Sam and Louise had been staying. He looked over his shoulder and hollered.

“Sammy boy! You coming or what?” 

Sam felt himself growl a little, then shook his head and followed, trying to get ahead so he could show the two where he and Louise had been hiding out.

Hello, can you do more of Papa Higgs? Please. It's soooooo damn cute 💕 thank you

Sure since you asked nicely here ya go :D!

“Papa, play another please?” Skylar asked pleadingly, the little five-year-old sitting on the edge of her bed as Higgs strummed and tuned his guitar. He smirked, knowing it was way past his daughter's bedtime. 

“I don’t think mama would appreciate it if we keep breaking the rules.” Higgs said playfully as Skylar put her small hands together as if to say a prayer, looking up at Higgs in such a way it would put a pup to shame. 

“Please, just one more? I love it when you play.” 

Higgs sighed, thinking it over as he continued to adjust the strings on the guitar. Eventually, he succumbed to his daughter's wishes, giving a nod as she exclaimed happily. Higgs figured he’d make it up to Gene later on. He knew how to work his charms on her. 

“Shh. Shh. Settle down Pipsqueak.” Higgs smiled as Skylar stared happily at him, grinning big as the excitement brewed in her sapphire eyes. 

“What do you want me to play?” Higgs asked, feeling he was in the mood for just about anything song-wise. Some nights he had to be picky, either not wanting to strain his throat or wake up Gene, but tonight he was more than feeling up to a challenge. 

Skylar hummed in thought, tapping her chin as she contemplated while Higgs watched for her reaction. Eventually, her eyes lit up as Skylar gave an answer. 

“Can you play the song about the two porters?” Skylar asked as Higgs let out a sigh and nodded. Higgs had a feeling he should have known better she was gonna pick this one out. This being one of her favorites, his too despite repeating it often. 

“If you get under the covers and settle, I’ll play it for you.” Higgs said and watched as Skylar scrambled to get comfortable. Once her head was lying on the pillow and she was staring up at Higgs with warmth in her little eyes, smiling proudly, he took in a deep breath and started playing the first keys. Making sure the melody was perfect before pressing on. 

“I'm in love with it. Intoxicated. I'm enraptured. From the inside, I can feel that you want to. Wake up high on it. Feel it suspending. I'm enamored. Way up in the sky I can see that you want to. I've been a romantic for so long. All I've ever had are love songs, singing oh-oh-oh, go on, I dare you. Oh-oh-oh, I dare you.”

Higgs took a moment to play more of the rhythm, adding his own twist to the chords making the sound radiate throughout the room at a soothing pace. Skylar couldn’t help but lean up a little on her pillow, lost in the moment. She thought her papa had the most beautiful voice in the world. 

“I get chills. Heartbreak multiplies. I'm on a different kind of high. A rush of blood is not enough. I need my feelings set on fire. Now I'm deep in it, infatuated, strong attraction. Side by side and I know that you want to--I've been a romantic for so long. All I've ever had are love songs, singing oh-oh-oh, go on, I dare you--”

“Oh-oh-oh, I dare you.” Skylar finished, singing the last verse with Higgs as he smiled warmly then continued, gesturing for Skylar to keep going with him if she wanted. 

“I can hear it now like I heard it then. I can hear it now like I heard it then. I can hear it now like I heard it then. I can hear it now like I heard it then.” They both sang in unison, her small feminine voice matching the tempo of his deep sound as they paused, taking in a breath.

“Singing oh-oh-oh. Go on, I dare you. Oh-oh-oh. I dare you. Oh-oh-oh. Go on, I dare you. Oh-oh-oh. I dare you.” 

A few strums later, and the song was over. Higgs got up, crouching down by Skyler’s bedside as she reached out and cupped Higgs’s cheeks with her small hands, running her fingers over his scruff playfully as he stared at his little one with adoration. 

“I dare you to go to sleep now, Pipsqueak.” Higgs teased as he leaned forward, his forehead nuzzling against hers as their noses met before Higgs peppered her face with kisses. Skylar squealed and returned the affection before Higgs pulled her into a hug. 

“You’re getting strong.” Higgs said with a laugh, patting her gently. He couldn’t believe how fast she was growing, remembering the night she was born how fragile and tiny she had been. He still loved her just as much if not more so now that her personality was beginning to blossom. 

“I love you Papa.” Skylar said, giving Higgs a kiss on the cheek as he pressed his lips to her temple and got up. 

“Love ya back. Sleep tight. Don’t let the undead bite.” He winked at Skylar as she giggled, yawning soon after as Higgs left the room with the guitar in hand. He closed the door and let out a sigh of relief, feeling his own body yearning for bed. 

By the time he got to the room, he saw Gene waiting for him in the doorframe, leaning against it with her arms crossed. There was a mischievous look on her face as Higgs smirked. 

“What?” Higgs asked with a shrug as Gene mimicked his gesture. 

“Our song again? I didn’t know you were the sentimental type.” Gene interrogated albeit teasingly as Higgs rolled his eyes. 

“You know--I’m not gonna give you the satisfaction of a comeback,” Higgs said sarcastically as Gene approached Higgs, taking the guitar from him before swinging her arms over his shoulders, staring up at his eyes longingly. 

“Too late, I got you to talk back. I’m already winning.” Gene said as a matter of fact before Higgs leaned forward and kissed her longingly, pulling back for air after some time. 

“Maybe you need a bedtime like our kid. You’re acting like a brat.” Higgs mused, resting his forehead against Gene’s as she chuckled quietly. 

“Maybe you should take me to bed. I’ve been waiting patiently while you were busy being all cute and in dad mode with our kid.” Gene teased in a hushed whisper, getting Higgs to hum as his brows raised. He was quick to pick Gene up, nearly having her yelp as he carried her bridal style into their room, she tries to stifle her laughter all the while Higgs murmurs sweet nothings; trying to remind Gene they needed to keep their volume down and not wake Skylar.
