"How did you find us?" Lee asked. "I've been seeing your posts on Instagram. I wanted to reach out but I thought it would be better for you to see me in person." Her after responded. "Who are you?" Hannah Rose asked shyly. "So this is my little Hannah Rose. I'm your dad." Hannah Rose was hesitant but she walked over and shook the older man's hand. Lee looked over at her brother filled with glee, but he was fuming. "Come on girls, we have food to finish." Joe said taking Hannah Rose and Lee back to the table.

When they finished they found their father sitting in his car outside of the restaurant. Joe gave Lee the keys to the car and told her, "Take Hannah and get in the car and start it. I'll be there soon." "But I wanna talk to him." Lee said. "No. Take your sister and go to the car." "He's my dad too." "Lee, I'm not doing this right now. Get in the damn car." Lee groaned and took her sister and walked a few feet away to Joe's car.

She could hear the conversation between Joe and her father only slightly but she filled in the blanks by seeing them talk. What she did hear made her mad. Very mad.

"Why are you all of a sudden interested in us?" "I am finally ready to be with you guys again." "Really? Right as me and Lee are gaining popularity on social media you just happened to see us on Instagram and come here." "Joseph, please. I've missed you guys so much and I want a chance to be a good father." "You lost that chance long a go Mark." "Joe, I know you don't like me." "I don't like you? I hate you. You never cared about us! Mom was the only one who loved us! You were gonna just give them away after Kelly left." "What do you mean Joe?" "I saw the adoption papers for Lee and Hannah Rose. You were just gonna give them up! I was a mistake and you never truly cared. And that's why I had to take them away." "But I do now Joe." "Now when we are getting famous. We don't need any petty love but thanks." "Joseph please." "No. I'm sorry but if you didn't love us then, I don't think you can ever love us." Lee began to play music to drown out the rest of the conversation and so Hannah Rose couldn't hear her sobs.

Lee watched as her father pulled out of the parking lot and it looked like he was crying. Joe opened the door to the car and his face was slightly tear stained. He didn't even look at his sister. He just drove back to the house. Hannah Rose had fallen asleep and Natalia met them outside and brought her inside. Lee looked at Joe and she couldn't take it anymore. "Why would you do that!" She said, tears beginning to roll down her face again. "Lee, it was for the best." "All he wanted to was be in our lives again." "Right as we were gaining fame. Lee, I did what was right." "Maybe for you. Do you know how f*cked up my life has been without him being here. I thought that we could finally have a semi normal life but no. You had to go and f*ck everything up!" "He didn't want you. Or me. He didn't love us. I did the right thing, trust me." Lee had hand enough and she ran and started hitting Joe. "I hate you! I f*cking hate you!" She was sobbing and screaming. Finn and Noah came running out and pulled Lee off of Joe. She stormed off and Joe and Noah went inside. Finn followed after Lee.
