Song for this chapter: the hanging tree~James Newton Howard// a picture of William off to the side.

Chresanto's pov

I sit at the coffee table in the living room as my leg tapped impatiently against the floor. Morgan brung me another cup of coffee before sitting next to me.

"Calm down, please." She begged as she rubbed my back before placing her head onto my shoulder.

"I just don't get it, why would he help me." I asked.

She sighed.. "because he's your dad." She said softly.

I shook my head as I focused my attention back on my cell phone. I called that number he left a million times leaving him messages to come here.

He hasn't returned any.

"What if they arrested him?" I asked out loud.

Morgan sighed. "They won't, the worst that could happen is his insurance will have to pay." Morgan stated knowingly.

"But what if its worst. I crashed right into her." I explained. "When I looked into the car my heart dropped when I saw the little girl in the back seat." I said before brushing my hand over my face in frustration.

Morgan gasped lowly then quickly tried to cover it up with a cough.

I really fucked up.

The sound of the doorbell caused my heart to race.

I jumped up running towards it opening the door.

The man stood there offering me a slight smile.

He stepped inside the house placing my car keys into my hand. "My keys please?" He asked.

Morgan took the keys from the table passing them to me. "You two have a good day" he smiled again before turning around.

"Wait!" I called out grabbing his arm. "That's all?" I asked him. "What happened?" I continued to question.

"Don't worry, it's handled. Everything will be okay." He assured me.

He reached for the door handle again before I stopped him.

"The lady?" I started. "The lady and her baby, that I hit.. Are they okay?" I choked out.

He sighed. "The little girl was shook up, badly. But they were not harmed only her car." He explained. "I handled it." He repeated.

He reached for the door knob again causing me to grow irritated. Whats the big rush?

"Why?" I croaked out causing him to turn back towards me. "Why did you do that." I asked him.

He let out a deep breath. "Believe it or not, you are my son Chresanto. And now that I know that.. I'll do anything for you." He told me.. "Anything." He repeated.

I stood there lost for words as he opened the door. "Still up for that DNA test?" I blurted out.

He slowly turned back around looking at me.

Silence took over the room before he spoke again. "You serious?" He asked me.

I nodded.

A smile slowly crept to his face. "Now. Let's do it now." He cheesed.

I smiled from his excitement. "Yeah, now." I agreed.

Morgan smiled as she held her hand over her mouth.... Her tears will be comings any second now.

"So what now?" I asked the man, William.

"We waited 5 days for the results" he said.

I nodded..
