The Parent Trap (zarry)

Alfie Meets Harry

At L.A.X

Alfie was geting of the plane and went into the airport to get his logage and meet his Papa. When he saw his bag he picked it up and looked around to see if his Papa was anywair to seen. Then Alfie spoted his Papa standing at the door signing an autograph. Alfie imedetly ran threw the crowd to him.

"PAPA!!" Alfie yeld in an american accent. 

Harry looked around a cople times and then saw his son runing tords him. Harry opend his arms and Alfie jumped in Harry's arms almost loosing his balence. Alfie burried his face in Harry's neck with tears in his eyes.

"I missed you so much." said Alfie.

"I missed you to, bub." said Harry leting Alfie down.

Both of them walked out of the airport and to Harry's Rang Rover to go home.

"I hope you had a horrible time at camp because your never going back, I missed you too much." said Harry.

"I missed you too Papa." said Alfie.

"Somethings change. Have you gotten taller? Sooner or later you'll be as tall as your old man hear." said Harry.

"I don't think your old, Papa." said Alfie

"It's just a saying, Georgie." said Harry.

"So, whats up Papa? Hows Shawn and everyone?" Alfie ask.

"Great. Everones great, cant wait to see you though. Four weeks is too long, George. So much has happend." said Harry.

"So much has changed for me too, I practicly feel like a new man." said Alfie.

"Ok, come on lets go home." said Harry. And they both got into the car to go home.

Later

Harry and Alfie were now on their way home, with Harry driving and Alfie in the passengers seat.

"I almost forgot, thank you for those letters you sent to me while you were at camp." said Harry.

"Your welcome Papa. We meant to write more but, we just got so busy." said Alfie.

"We?" Harry ask.

"Oh, uh. Me and my friend. Yeah, I met this boy at camp and we got realy close. Kinda like brothers. He's a real smashing guy." said Alfie.

"Smashing? Since when did you start geting into british slang? I thought you said it bores you. I guess my accent rubed off on you." said Harry.

"Well Papa, people change." said Alfie.

"'Smashing guy?' More polite then usual? Did I send you to summer camp or finishing school? And why do keep saying 'Papa' after every sentence?" Harry ask.

"I'm sorry I didn't realise I was doing that, Papa." said Alfie.

Harry gave "you'er doing it again" look.

"Sorry, Papa." said Alfie.

Harry chuckled.

"Do you know why I keep saying Papa? The truth?" said Alfie.

"Because you missed me so much." Harry said.

"Yes. And it's because in my whole life, I mean for these past four weeks, I was never able to ever say the word 'Papa'. Never. Not once! And a father is an irreplaceable person in a boys' life. I mean think about it, there's a whole day, devoted to celebrating Fathers, right? Just imagine, someone's life without a Father. Never buying a Father's Day card, never getting their Father a' birthday present, never sitting on their Father's lap, never being able to say, 'Hi, Papa', 'What's up, Papa?,, 'Bye, Papa, catch you later, Dad'. A baby's first words are always Pa, aren't they? Then there's 'Papi', 'Baba', 'Pop', 'My old man'... Not to mention, 'Wait 'til your father gets home, and-" Alfi rambled.
