The most nerve racking day ever came today, you were meeting up with your mum, your dad agreed on coming but sitting somewhere else, just incase.
Since you could finally drive, and you finally got your car, you agreed on picking him up, for a change it was always him picking you up.
You had gotten use to driving on the left side, finally, it was a struggle for a start, but you pulled through and managed.
You were meeting up at a little cafe, you decided on going a little after lunch, so it was more of a snack. You skipped on lunch today, too nervous to eat anything.
You decided on making your way to your dad house early just so you could prepare yourself first, you took a slow way to his house, you wanted to be relaxed for what's ahead of you later today.
Mason had sent you a texted to wish you luck, he had training today, your dad had booked the day off, I guess the pros of being the manager, means you can take days off if you really need it off.
When you arrived he made you a tea, and you talked a bit about the meeting in a couple hours time. You knew your dad was slightly nervous as well, the women who he had a baby with, dump him, left him his baby, never came in touch with you guys for a whole 21 years of your life, you were too busy thinking about yourself in the situation, that you completely forget about how your dad must be feeling.
"Do you think I'm making the right choice?" you asked him, it was a question that was now stuck in your head "I think it was your choice, so it's not down to me, I know you want answers, and I think you want them more than anything else, I think you just want your answers, rather than a relationship, am I wrong?" he asked, which got you thinking what did you want out of this meeting, was your dad right, did you just want answers, or did you want a relationship with your mum?
"I'm not too sure, I guess I want to see what happens during today's meeting" you explained, "your gonna be there with me the whole time right?" you asked, you knew that you wouldn't cope without your dad today "of course hun" he grabbed your hands and gave them a squeeze, while also giving you a little smile.
You decided on leaving early, just so you could prepare yourself, and made sure you had no time to back out.
The cafe was a 45 minute drive away, you had never been to this cafe, it was far out, and sort of in the middle of no way, it was a pretty calm drive, you hated driving on the motor way, sure you had gotten use to it, but there was such a rush, and that made you nervous.
When you arrived, you gave yourself a minute, before getting out the car and finding a table. "now remember don't let her force you into anything your not ready for" he said making your way to a table, you decided you wanted your dad there, for moral support, and to step in at anytime.
You were making small talk, your dad was mostly asking about Mason and your relationship with him, when he suddenly stood up, and looked at the most recent person to come into the cafe, in came a women, with blonde hair, about 5,6, in a simple black dress, and glasses.
"Stephanie" your dad said looking at the women in front of his "this is Olivia MY daughter" when he said my daughter it made you smile, he was letting her know he wouldn't be forgiving in so. "hi" she said looking at you with a big smile "hey" you waved back, "it's nice to meet you" you added on, not knowing what else to say "you too, thank you for agreeing to this" she said "I guess thanks for wanting to meet up with me after leaving me for 21 years" you were still annoyed, angry and you were not gonna hid that.
After you had made some small talk, you went up to order, you went up with your dad, you got a iced drink, and a iced cake, that you would find in school.
"I saw you moved to California, for a bit" she began the conversation "yes, it was good to get away from everything, but missed this one too much" you said, before punching your dad "I'm happy you guys have that good father daughter relationship, it really seems to open my eyes at how much I missed out on everything in your life" she explained
"you know I got to ask why did you do it?" you asked "I wasn't ready to be a mum, give away my whole life for a baby, I was young back then, I wasn't ready to settled down, I thought maybe once you were born I would feel this connects people talk about, but I couldn't feel it, your dad was so happy when I told him, he began talking about the future, I felt like I was going to be one of them stay at home mums, and I didn't want that, so I gave it all up, I moved to Italy, and met my now husband, and we had two kids together, Marco and Sofia, there 10 and 7" that last bit broke you, she wasn't ready for you, but she was for two kids "so do you live back in England or still living in Italy?" your dad asked her "we moved back to London recently, we found we are expecting other one, and I wanted to get a bond going on between us" she explained, you took everything in that she just told you, but you didn't say anything, you rushed out the cafe, and you into your car, before breaking down, you couldn't stop the tears running down your face.
Frank POV
"You had to realise this is a lot for her right now, she has found her mum after 21 years, and never seeing her, to find out you have had another two kids and another one of the way, she feels replaced" you explained, but it didn't seem to go through her "no, this is all you, you don't want her in contact with me, you probably told her all times of lies about me, didn't you? i couldn't say anything cause i was away" she spoke back angrily "don't you dare try blame me, you chose your consequences, now live with them" you said before grabbing your stuff and some of Olivia stuff and heading out.
End of POV
You saw the car door open, it was your dad thankfully "it's ok come here" he said opening his arms out so you could give him a massive hug "you don't need her, you never had her for 21 years of your life it's no different" he added on
When you arrived home, you got into bed and just began crying.
