Third person

The Dunham father-daughter duo stand in shock still not believing who is standing in front of them after 2 years since the last time they saw her.

"Right kid lets get inside, it's late and they've asked you to come help out at the school tomorrow" he unlocks the door and she runs inside and straight upstairs. Pete keeps his eyes on Sarah and walks inside her following behind

"So how have you been?" She asks sitting on the couch

"Don't start this 'how have you been bullshit Sarah' you're messing with my kids head try I'm my to get in contact but showing up here? That a whole new level"

"What am I not allowed to see my kid?" She snaps

"No, not your kid Sarah! You left when she was 6 months and decided to come in and out of her life while I raised her! Not you! Me! You don't get to play the mother card when you've not been here"

"Well I'm here now!"

"Oh yeah Sarah to the rescue yeah? Shows up 14 and a half years later, real hero you are"

Jodie walks downstairs in an oversized West Ham 2015 season shirt with some shorts on. She puts up clothes in the washing machine still not looking at the woman sitting in the living room

"I made a salad last night, it's in the fridge if you want it"he says kissing Jodie's head

"Yeah I'll have it"

"Still as obsessed with football as your Dad Jods?"

"Had every home kit since I was born, not that you would know. You know since you've not been here" she says getting the salad box out of the fridge

"Will both of you give it a rest, I get it I've not been here"

"Okay so why are you here now?" Jodie snaps

"Your 16th is coming up"

"Wow Dad, she does know my birthday" Jodie says sarcastically

"Looks like she does, how nice do her to send a card all these years" he says back keeping the same glare

It's silent for a few more minutes and Sarah speaks up again

"There's a lot of photos of you two up"

"Yeah well it has just been the two of us, that one's from a win at home to Arsenal in 2019 on her 14th birthday, that one's from her 5th birthday in my shirt me behind her and the last one is her and the GSE, our family"

"Family? That's your family?" She scoffs

"Yeah they are my family Sarah, more of a family than you've ever been"

Before Sarah can say much more we hear banging on the door

"It 10, nobody should be here at this time"

"Jods it me!" We hear Bens voice call

She does a light jog over to the door and opens it to see a bleeding Scott and Ben alone aside with him "Jesus Christ Scott!" She pulls him into the house along side Ben

"Who's done that?" Pete asks following the teens into the kitchen

"Hatchers nephew, he's over the waters"

"Hatchers nephew?"

Ben walks into the living room realising who is sitting on the couch "wow, Pete what the fuck"

"We're as shocked as you" he mutters following his nephew into the living room

"Who's the boy?" Sarah asks
