JJ awoke very early the next morning. she did not crawl out of bed. She just lay there thinking of all that had happened. She finally decided to roll out of bed and took a quick shower. After she got dressed she went downstairs and started some coffee. She heard mumbled voices in the kitchen and wondered who weston was talking too. She approached the doorway cautiously, there sitting across from weston was a tall dark haired man i would say early 40s, he had dark bown hair and looked like he had not shaved in months. There was something about him that seemed so familiar.
Both men stood when they noticed JJ standing in the doorway looking confused, who are you?
Hello Jessie, im your dad.
Its JJ, no one has called me jesse since i was four. You would know that if you would have been around.
Weston stepped in , now JJ he is.......
JD put a hand up and stopped him, you are right, i should have been more persistant about visiting. I know this is all a bit of a shock and you have so many mixed feelings, but i want you to know i am here for you now. I know i cant make up the time lost but give me a chance to atleast try to be a good father.
JJ just stood there for a moment, i dont really have a choice now, do i?
yes, you do have a choice, its called foster care.
Fine, i will take my chanxes there.
Now jes....JJ you are being unreasonable.
Me?
Yes you.
I think i am being totally fair considering what i have been through.
Really? So you think that because of the trauma you can treat me, your father with disrespect?
WHAT KIND OF FATHER WOULD LET HIS ONLY CHILD BE TAKEN AWAY WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO FIGHT FOR ME?
JD looked sgocked, what!? You think i did bnot try. 11 years of lawyers and private detectives and they could not find you. I thought your mother had just moved to a different part of arkansas, i had never thought she would go out of state with you.
JJ stared at him in shock, she began rto laugh histarically, oh my word, you expect me to buy in to your load of bull-.......
JJ, Both men yelled in unison.
Well, she said, that is how i feel.
its the truth, believe it or not.
Or not, she said in a sarcastic tone.
Sarge i think i am going to start packing what i am going to take with me. I was wondering if you could go and get boxes and tape and all that fun stuff? she gave him a sincere smile.
of course, how about i bring back chinese for lunch?
sounds good.
Ok, see you in a bit.
Hey dad, you may wanna tag along and rent a moving truck.
what for?
i have alot to take with me.
Your kidding, right?
nope.
you expect me to drive all the way back home?

Fine, anything else your highness?
Nope, she popped off as she walked upstairs to begin her task.
