His Daughter - Pete Dunham daughter

"Jodie Dunham wake up" Pete says walking into his daughters room turning on the lights which causes the 15 year old to bring her duvet above her head "Jodie come on we are going to your Uncles for dinner"

"You're having a bubble" she groans now pulling the covers away from her face "Shannon hates me"

"She doesn't hate you, get up, get dressed. Wanting brunch before you go?"

"Beans and toast" she says getting out of bed, he leaves her room and she head to her wardrobe

Deciding on the most basic outfit ever she take out her regular black stone island jacket with a white cropped shirt and black leggings she puts the outfit on and heads downstairs to see the mess from the night before cleaned up

"Toast and beans" he slide the plate across the table before sitting down at the other end and digging into his own

"Dad"

"Jodie"

"Remember last night when you said about you not being in a relationship since mum, why haven't you had a relationship since mum?"

He stops eating and puts his knife and fork down gently before looking up at Jodie "Your mums your mum, nobody can be your mum. You and football are the things that keep me going they always have, why change something when how it's going already make you happy?"

"I don't want you to die alone Dad, you should find someone at some point"

"I won't die alone Jods, you don't need to worry about me. You and I are going to live forever"

"Okay Liam Gallagher" she laughs finishing up her brunch

"Oh by the way, we have to make a pit stop at the abbey" he says grabbing the plates and kissing the top of her head putting them in the sink

"am I allowed to ask why?"

"You know why, I need a drink before I go to your Uncle Steve's. Ever since he left the GSE to me he's become a softie"

"Cant blame him, Shannon hates football or as she calls it 'soccer' I miss Uncle Steve coming to the games, he were a right laugh"

"I know, but he's just to caught up in his marriage now, another reason I'm happily single"

"Can I get a drink?"

"Are you 18?"

"Are you a responsible adult?"

"Fair enough, brush your teeth and let's go"

She runs upstairs and goes into the bathroom and brushes her teeth. She grabs her shoes and goes outside where Pete is already waiting for her "come on slow coach"

-
"Nah we do tell each other almost everything" Pete laughs

"Almost?" Bovver questions

"Crystal Palace away Saturday, you coming kid?" Dave asks changing the subject

"Of course I am, you sniffed a line?"

"It's going to be a great start to 2022. An away game" Pete smiles leaning back wrapping an arm around his daughter

"I've got plans for New Year but I'll be back at 1"

"Where the fuck are you going like?"

"Sitting at the garage with the boys, just getting a few drinks then crashing out there"

"wow, wow, wow. Drinks, all boys, sleeping? Not a chance"

"Ben will be there! Plus I've done it several times bef-" she starts laughing before all the men turn to look at her which causes her to stop "as I was saying, Ben will be there"
