Hope you enjoy this guys and pls comment your thoughts. And I will be cutting alot of the whole meeting convo as that is far too long and I'm sure you guys don't want to be reading a full scene from the movie.👁👄👁 also this will be happening a little earlier than in the movie just so it is easier to add onto.
Brad POV
I've just gotten back from the airport where I was meant to be picking up Dust but he never turned up. There was this one guy that I suspected to be him but he said it wasn't him. It's gonna kill the kids that he didn't turn up especially Sophie cause he has lied to her a few times before. Sarah comes running out the house and tells me how Dusty has been here for a while. I am so mad right now. I am so mad that I could curse right now......but I will not give Dusty the satisfaction. We both walk in and see Meghan and Dylan sat on the couch with the guy that walked right past me at the airport standing over them telling a story.
"You like that story? It's all true. Hey! Who wants some more Starbursts and a couple of uncirculated silver dollars?" Dusty reaches into his pockets and taking the items out. Really? Candy before dinner?
"So you are Dusty." I say trying to sound tough. I think it worked.
"I sure am. You must be the new and improved husband. Bring it in big guns." He says bringing me in for a hug which he was trying to make not awkward but it was the exact opposite.
"I already met you at the airport." I say trying to show him how annoyed I am.
"Yeah I'm real sorry about that. The truth is, I saw you before you saw me and I'm thinking 'this is the guy who's raising my kids?' And damn it if he doesn't look like the real deal." I mean look at you. You figured it out didn't you? You cracked the code." He says. "So you can understand why I panicked at the airport. I froze Brad. I'm sorry" Dusty apologises sounding sincere.
"Its fine. These are tricky waters to navigate." I say trying to seem my usual friendly self.
"They sure are man. I mean that is insightful. You know, I thought it was weird Sara didn't tell me about you. I thought, what's she hiding? And now I know. A champion." Dusty pats my shoulder in an attempted friendly way but it still seems aggressive.
"Brad. We gotta go get soph from her dance class now." Sarah says after looking down at her phone.
"How bout I go get her?" Dusty says.
"Oh....umm..is that safe to do? You know, there ain't any seatbeltsor walls to protect her." I say nervously.
"You kidding me? It's completely safe. I used to take her on it all the time when she was a baby." Dusty says non chalantly. Well that's a terrifying image.
"I mean, I don't like it but it will be a nice surprise for her just do not go too fast please." Sarah says to Dusty who nods his head and leaves after grabbing his jacket and keys. Was this such a good idea??
Sophie Pov
I just finished dance class and am waiting outside for mom or step-douche to turn up. I hope they hurry cause I wanna see dad. He should be at home by now. As I'm pulling out my phone to call one of them, there is the sound of a motorbike getting louder and louder. I look to see a familiar looking motorbike getting louder and louder. I look to see a familiar looking motor bike pulling up at the path. DAD!
"Dad!" I yell running up to him as he gets of his bike. When I reach him I wrap my arms around his waist as he wraps his around me really tight. I don't know how long we stand there hugging before I have to let go before my ribs are crushed.
"Hey bug. You need to stop growing." He says rubbing my head and messing up my hair. "Come on. We better get home before your mom and Brad kill me." He says walking towards the bike. He climbs on before I do behind him. We start moving, going a little slower than usual. I am so happy He is back and I hope that he stays.
