"What's Left Behind" drabble, Prompt #11

Wrote this last night, but just finished finding a clip on YT and editing the story for quotes and misordered actions. Here's the final product. Progress: 12/30 on the table, 11/31 on Writo de Mayo.

Title: Family
Fandom: Moonlight
Word Count: 100
Rating: K
Prompt: [profile] un_love_you#11 – Thought I needed this.


The letter feels heavy in my hands. “I just didn’t know how much I wanted a family until I almost had one.” I allow myself a last, longing look towards the house and the family within – and I feel a surprising sense of loss.

“Family’s not only about DNA,” Beth says, and it’s true. I have a family. My family is Josef. It’s Beth. And if it’s not biological, even better. My family is chosen.

I look away from the house, back at Beth, and smile. I thought I needed this, a family, but I don’t.

I’ve already got one.
