She kissed him back, lips melding with his, hand twining into his hair. 

“Uhh…am I interrupting something?” One of the twins asked from the door.

Rex jerked away from Daniel, face turning bright red. "I... uh.." She struggled to find words.

“Yes, you are,” Daniel said tersely, turning to find Lily there. “What do you need?”

Rex winced, turning her face away in embarrassment.

“Dad said it’s bedtime. For you too, even though you were too old before. I guess he thinks you need special restrictions.” She raised an eyebrow at them.

Sorry, I guess I…have to go. I love you.

Oh, okay... love you too. She smiled at him, kissing his cheek quickly and standing up.

He smiled back, then slowly let go of her and left.

“Hey, Jane, you’ll never believe what I just saw,” Lily said to her sister.

He waved back.

“Daniel and his girlfriend were kissing!” Lily whispered excitedly.

“Knock it off,” Daniel said to them.

Maybe it's just me, but I do think it's be interesting to maybe get one pov scene from each of them? I know Rex'll have some... interesting things, but maybe Daniel wouldn't? I'm just thinking as far as his first time back at his house is so many years?

Yeah, that works for me.

“Daniel! Now that your girlfriend’s gone, can you play with us again?” Jimmy asked, smiling.

 Daniel laughed. “She’s not gone, and it’s your bedtime. I’m pretty tired too.”

 Jimmy and the girls groaned. “But you just got back! We’ve missed you!” Lily said.

 He smiled. “One game. Then bedtime for all of us.”

 They played three games, hide and seek (which he had become much too big for a long time ago,) tag (very loud,) and the floor is lava again (Lily one, surprisingly.) Eventually, he tucked the kids in at their request. It was good to see his family again. He went to his room, smiling. He hoped Rex was doing as good as he was.

Rex sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor absentmindedly, her foot swinging back and forth.

She was alone.

She couldn't remember the last time she was completely alone at night.

Rex shivered, suddenly cold. She felt... something?

Something... something behind her-  Something coming-

Coming-

She whirled around, eyes growing wide, breath hitching in her throat.

She saw...

Nothing. It was nothing... right?

It didn't feel like nothing...

She shivered again, crawling under the covers and turning out the light.

Rex closed her eyes and snapped them back open again. She couldn't close them.

If she did, the something would get her. She had no doubt about that.

Her eyes darted around the room, taking in the flickering shadows. Was she imagining them? 

Rex heard the crackle of flames in her ears, felt the searing pain on her neck again.

"No!" She whispered, voice harsh and cracking.

She shook, overwhelmed with the memories as the tears coursed down her cheeks.

Her body was wracked with sobs as one awful scene after another flashed across her vision.

"No no NO!" She was crying louder now, but she didn't care.

She couldn't hold this in, couldn't even try-

Rex cowered under the covers in the dark, trying to muffle the noises coming from her mouth, faintly aware that she didn't want to wake anyone in the house and cause a scene.

"Save me!" She shrieked, as her back erupted with burning pain and the imagined flames consumed her.

Up to you if Daniel would come in, if not then she'll probably fall asleep eventually out of pure exhaustion

“No!” Daniel heard her yell faintly. Was he imagining it? It wouldn’t hurt to check. He slid off his bed, walking towards her room. He knocked softly, not realizing three little kids had followed him.

Rex didn't even hear the knock. She whimpered, unable to make any louder of a sound because of her lack of air.

Was she hyperventilating? Was she?

Rex couldn't even tell, but she thought maybe, somewhere in the back of her mind.

There was no answer, but he could hear sounds of thrashing coming from inside as Rex tried to escape from the memories that threatened to overwhelm her.

 The kids watched, stunned.

She opened her eyes. "E-everyth-thing!" She sobbed, latching on to his hand and holding it tightly.

They aren’t important right now. It’s just me and you. Breathe, keep breathing. You’re safe.
