Kelly's POV:
What is he doing here,
Kelly: what are you doing here?!
Butch: helping you and Arthur
Arthur: why?
Butch: I realize that I've been making a big mistake my whole life, I was always away, never with you, you never had a real father that helped you or was there for you, and for that I'm sorry
Kelly: what difference does it make now, you weren't there when I needed a father and there's nothing you can do to change that, but when I find someone I love and try helping him, you hurt and nearly kill him!
Butch: I know, I can't change the past, and if I could I would, I'd never have joined the army and deserted with Jack, I'd never have helped from that PMC company, I'd never have left your mother alone to raise you, I'd have tried to be the father I never had or was
Kelly: you lost that chance a long time ago, and you lost that chance permanently when you tortured Arthur, I've nearly lost him twice now, first to you and then nearly recently, I still have his blood in my fur
I fall onto my knees and cry, Arthur crouches down and comforts me,
Arthur: she's right, I nearly died three days ago and probably would have hadn't been for Kelly, I owe her my life, and I love her and she loves me
Butch: I know, I'm sorry for what I've done, I know I can't be forgiven for everything, but Kelly's the only good thing I ever gave this world, after all the killing and fighting I've done, all the bad things I've done, Kelly was the only good thing I did for the world, and I'd do anything to protect her, even from myself, I know it might as well be a poor excuse but that might be a reason I didn't stay with you and your mother so that I could protect you from myself
Kelly: why now, why now do you realize this and change?
Butch: it was hard for me to accept and believe that you really loved him, it took time for my hatred to subside, I believed that you would never forgive me for what I did
Kelly: your dam right I'd never forgive you, not after what you did to Arthur
Butch: I know, but it was your mother who finally pushed me to do the right thing, I don't want to lose you, so please, I don't ask for complete forgiveness for anything thing, I just ask that you give me the chance to earn some forgiveness
Arthur: what about Jack?
Butch: I left him, the PMC company has been in a slow but steady decline for the last fifteen years, since what happened in Budapest
Arthur: what happened?
Butch: we were paid to stage a fouls flag incident, we played the part of insurgents who wanted the help of this country to liberate us from our poor and corrupt government, it worked in the end but the region is disputed territory now, a DMZ, but over half of the company was killed before the end
Kelly: alright, you can stay for now
Butch: thank you
Kelly: but if you ever hurt Arthur again, you're done
Butch: I understand, and Arthur, I have something that belongs to you
Butch then hands Arthur a small bag, opening it, he pulls out the old picture of him and his adopted daughter Chelsea, then pulls out a ring,
Arthur: thank you, I never thought I'd see this again
Butch: I thought it belonged to you since it was in your room, and with that, I also give you my consent and blessing
Arthur: thank you, sir
Kelly: what, what do you mean?
Butch doesn't say anything else before leaving me and Arthur alone,
Kelly: what does he mean?
Arthur: it might be a bit soon as we've only known each other for a little over a month but here
Arthur then takes my hand and puts the ring on my finger, I gasp,
Kelly: you mean?
Arthur: yes
Kelly: I accept
I then kiss Arthur, he's made me so happy, after everything that's happened, this moment makes it almost worth it,
