Juvie • JASON MCCANN •

Chapter 81 "Reconciliation"

"I NEED TO SEE HIM NOW!"

"Calm down mam, there's nothing I can do sorry", the nurse rolls her blue eyes.

"She's with me.. I'm Mr. McCann's case manager", my mom chirps.

"I understand Ms. Rose, but she can't come in.. only social workers and family members are allowed in"

"I'M HIS WIFE!", I grumble completely frustrated and annoyed with this nurse that's the obstacle right now between Jason and I.

"Let her in now"

A sudden deep intimidating voice splutters from behind us. I turn around slowly staring straight at dark brown eyes that belong to my father.

Immediately, I scrunch my brows together confused by his presence. Nothing could come out good from him being here. What does he possibly want now?

"What are you doing here?!", I clench my fists hatefully glaring at the man that is responsible for all of this. The man that betrayed his own daughter, thanks to him Jason is now in critical condition.

"Go see him.. I'm sure there won't be no problem since I donate yearly to this very hospital", my dad bluntly says glaring at the nurse making her squirm by his presence and words.

"Room 23", the nurse smiles stepping out of the way for us both to pass.

Bitch

As my mother grabs my arm, so we can proceed down the cold hallway. I can't help, but stare blankly at my father. He stares at me pained then averts his attention down to the floor. Stunned by his sudden helpful action, a smile finds it way to my lips feeling hopeful.

We walk into a white, cold, empty room. No sign of Jason anywhere. My mom's face seems confused instantly taking out her cell phone making a call pacing back and forth.

My heart beats fast and slow not knowing if this is a good or bad thing.

"What the heck do you mean he was sent to prison?!", my mom hisses.

"Prison?", I gasp my heart falling down to my stomach. My hands start to tremble feeling uncontrollable anxiety.

"Mom?", I mutter seeing her angrily hang up on whoever is on the other line.

"After his surgery, he was sent to prison twenty minutes ago", she huffs completely disappointed.

"He's injured! How could they do that? Why prison? He was in Juvie a few hours ago!", I splutter firing all sorts of questions I desperately need answers to.

"Officials don't care especially since he's Jason McCann and honey, he's eighteen now... unfortunately he belongs to the big house which means he's going to be trailed as an adult", mother explains a frown plastered on her tired face.

"We need to get him out mom!", my voice cracks.

"I'll try my best baby girl, but this is a very tough case... I'm not a lawyer nor do I know powerful ones", my mother sighs.

"But I do"

My mother and I glance up at the same time stunned twice again seeing my father standing by the door.

"I fucked up big time Aleysa.. I thought I was doing the right thing for you, to be honest I believe you deserve better than that Juvie kid-"

"Don't call him that!", I briefly cut him off.

"Sorry, as a father you just want the greatest for your child especially if they're your only child. I have let misery and bitterness take over me completely doing horrible unforgivable acts since your mother left me. I became selfish and arrogant, something I hated my own pop's for once. You see princess, I regret what I did to your mother, our family. I've begged for her back, but every time she's rejected me which she has every right to do after what I caused due to my infidelity. I've been lost in bitterness, but when I saw your pained face after I set you up that broke my heart making me realize what I did was so wrong. Seeing you risk your life for that delinquent I mean Jason, I now see clearly how much you love him. I broke my family up and I definitely don't want to break my grandchild's family up", my father genuinely says truth behind his dark brown eyes.

I'm beyond baffled becoming speechless questioning myself if this is real or just a dream. Never in a million infinity years did I ever think my father would be capable of accepting his wrongs, yet alone apologize.

I stare at him not saying a word taking a minute to shrewdly analyze everything he just said and examine his features. To my surprise, he's actually speaking truth.

I don't know if I just deeply missed my dad or if this pregnancy has made me go soft or if the shit I'm going through right now being pregnant having my husband locked up, who is currently fresh out of surgery due to being stabbed has turned me into a complete emotional mess that right now, I just need my parents love and support to help me get through this horrifying situation.

"I forgive you daddy", I sniffle embracing him in a tight hug just like I used to when I was six years old whenever he came back from work everyday day.

"I'm sorry for everything... I promise from here and out I will be the father I should have been all along"

"You were always a good father.. you lost your a way a bit, but your back now.. I love you daddy", I smile.

"I forgive you too Ben", my mom softly says glancing between my father and I. A huge smile plastered on her face.

My father nods at her, a smile forming on his lips and I couldn't help, but notice his dark brown eyes twinkle as he stared at her with such fondness and hope in them.

"I love you too princess... however, I will say it will take me a while to like McCann", he averts his attention to me.

"Trust me you'll like him once you get to know him"

Suddenly, my dad pulls back now looking at me eye to eye, a serious expression on his face.

"So I over heard out there that your married to Jason? I'm not to thrilled about it, but was the marriage at least before the pregnancy?", he bluntly asks.

"Yes", I lie.

"Good, that's already a good point for McCann", he grins as if he heard the best news ever.

I half smile, feeling a bit guilty for lying to him, but oh well what he doesn't know won't kill him.

"Let's go see McCann"
