Fresh Beginnings

move on

".....and we were in a subway when he asked me to call him dad " my voice cracked just like last time I was hear

"Katie darling I know it's been tough but having new siblings isn't that bad and I'm glad your mom got married .... it's about time she left me "

I could tell he was hurt by his own words

"Besides I had to grow up with uncle Jamie and he is much worse than having 8 siblings "

He chuckled to himself. ... uncle Jamie was always a handful sadly he died

"And I think your mother's new husband is right you should call him dad. ... He seems fun ... did he yell at a kid "

"But dad your fit for that name ... I can't just move on when your here "

"I don't deserve that title ... I killed a lovely couple only to get those tickets .. I'm a bad example"

"Dad... why did you kill them ... I know it was for the tickets "

"You won't believe darling it was very stupid "

"Trust me dad... please~ "

"But if I tell you have to do me a favour and no disagreeing once I tell you "

"I promise but first tell me why"

"it was the day you told me you wanted jackson's tickets and I had to get them... The man told me the tickets were over and as I was walking home I had a couple talk ....

'Let's burn the tickets the show is useless anyways' the man said

'Who would want this garbage anyways ' the woman answered

I could let them talk about my kids like that so I approached them and wanted to compromise saying I'd pay double for the two tickets.... They apparently got angry for me eavesdropping and the man punched me ... I punched back and it got serious and the man removed a gun he was about to shoot when the ticket man stepped forward and got shot instead

Before I could register anything the couple was gone. ... I tried covering the blood with my shirt but it didn't stop finally a cop car pulled over and I got arrested

I wanted to explain the story but got tongue tied and instead I said 'I wanted to buy tickets for my daughter. ... you '

The officer assumed I killed the ticket man for the tickets "

He finished and I must admit I was shocked

"Dad your innocent you shouldn't be serving life in prison "

"No darling if I had walked away mind my own business I would be free and not responsible for the man.... The man woke up in the morning only to end up dead I deserve this "

If only I could hug me

"Katie now for our deal .... you must never ever call me dad or any title representing a father .... call your new father dad I'm dexter to you.... I know you'll be too naive when I tell you to not come here but just listen to me on this ... okay~ "

I looked him one for time "okay~ d-dexter I love you "

But you'll always be my number one dad
