"Maybe, maybe not." I grin.

I laugh, "That's hardly fair of you. But I promise anyway."

I smile slightly,"First promise to your son,"

"I don't think he'll know."

"Bet he won't remember,"

"Nope, of course he won't."

"He's only what, a couple days old, can't really expect him to remember his father's first promise to him,"

"Nope, he probably won't want to either."

"You don't know that, besides it might mean something to him. Well at least if he remembered."

"I don't think it would. My dad's word never meant anything to me," I shrug.

"Mine did, it might mean something to him too. Alex's childhood is different from ours Ian."

"Yeah, keep forgetting that."

I smile weakly,"He's got both of us, okay?"

Post by Ian Hunt on Jan 3, 2008 20:55:41 GMT
"Yeah, I know," I smile weakly, "I just keeping stressing irrationally that I'm going to turn into either one of my fathers all of a sudden."

"Your not," I say, taking his hand,"I know your not. Your better then them."

"Not by much. I can't say I've never raised a wand on someone weaker or more vulnerable than I am, so what makes me so different from Damian? And Kristopher and myself share obvious similarities in parenting style already," I mutter, not feeling the need to elaborate further at the second point.

"You can't really think your like them Ian," I mutter,"Your not, I can tell,"

"Damian could be decent at times," I mumble, talking more to myself now, then I remember that I still haven't told her and this would be a good time to do it and dodge the subject of my insecurities, "And...uh...Kristopher...well, he'd like to meet you."

I stop, thinking how lucky Alex was that I wasn't holding him or I would have dropped him."What?" I ask softly, not sure I had heard him correctly."Your..dad?"

I shift uncomfortably, still not sure how I felt about that word, "Yes, him."

Post by Madeline Speare on Jan 3, 2008 21:43:59 GMT
I smile slightly,"What? How..I thought he was.."

"He's a liar," I say, unable to say this completely free from bitterness, as I'm still trying to work out how I feel about the whole thing, "He faked his own death and ran off."

My smile drops,"Oh Ian," I mutter, not so sure if I wanted to tell him, my news now either.

"He seems okay," I shrug slightly, "I guess."

"So, not so sure if this is a good thing or not?"

"I guess I symapthise with him," I say reluctantly, "And he seems a nice man but...maybe it's a bit late for...I don't know."

"It's never too late Ian," I mutter,"I mean..my dad's back too," I say softly after a moment.

"He is?" I smile on her behalf, "That's great Maddie."

"I know," I smile slightly,"I really want you to meet him, and Alex too. You two were out when he was here,"

"Are you...sure?" I ask hesitantly, "Maybe it's not a good idea."
