Addison- A FatherSoot OC story

Bye bye Phil!

I realized I made Wilbur's love language and "I'M SORRY LET'S FIX IT WITH _____"  food. I think it's because the other love languages he said he sucked at in different songs, so maybe that's why. Also he's like "Small child must like sugar". 

Tw; mentions of past abuse, crying. Is crying a TW? 

About a week later, Philza announced that he was going to go home. 

Things were actually going quite well. Addison was becoming more and more comfortable with them, especially Wilbur. She'd told them a bit more about her past, just the average abuse. 

There's a sentence I never thought I'd write. 

Wilbur nodded. "I understand." He was a little sad though, since he was quite enjoying Phil's company. "When are you leaving?" 

"Tomorrow." Phil answered. "That's the next flight." 

Wilbur nodded. "I'll tell Addison." 

He walked upstairs and knocked on Addison's door. The child had recently discovered Lovejoy, and blasted it whenever possible. She shut it off and opened the door. "Hi Wilbur!" she said. 

"Hey...." Wilbur greeted. "I have some bad news. Phil's leaving." 

Addison frowned. "Why?" she asked. 

"Because he doesn't live here, Addy. He came here to help me since I was panicking when you first got here. He has his own life. I mean, man's got a wife for pete sake." 

Addison nodded. "When is he leaving?" she asked. 

"Tomorrow." Wilbur answered. "Which leads me to my next question. What do you want to do with him since he's leaving?" 

Addison grinned. "Can we go to the beach?" she asked. 

Wilbur smiled. They'd taken Addison to the beach a few days ago, and she'd loved it. She quite enjoyed the water, and had found a lot of shells. "That sounds fun." he replied. "Get your swimsuit on and I'll tell Phil." 

Addison grinned and closed the door. Soon, they were at the beach. Addison ran into the waves, laughing. 

"You've done well with her." Phil murmured, watching Addison run around like a normal kid. 

"I can't believe I'm a dad." Wilbur replied. "It's kind of crazy." 

Phil nodded. "You'll learn soon enough." he said. Addison slipped and fell into the water. Wilbur immediately flinched forward, but Addison stood up as quickly as she'd fallen. "THAT'S COLD!" she shouted. 

Wilbur laughed. "It's the ocean, Addy." he said. "It's cold!" 

Addison ran up to them. "Come on!" she said, grabbing their hands and pulling them into the water. Wilbur grinned, running with her and Phil into the ocean, which ended in a splash fight. Wilbur, Phil, and Addison threw handfuls of water at each other, trying not to get splashed or fall. 

Addison tripped again, falling under the waves. This time, she didn't get back up. 

"Addy!" Wilbur yelled. He ran over to where she'd fallen, Phil quickly following. 

Wilbur grabbed her wrist and dragged her up. "Are you alright?" he demanded. "Are you hurt?" 

Addison coughed, laughing. "Yeah! I'm fine!" she said. "That's really cold!" 

She coughed a few more times, spitting out water. Then she wriggled out of Wilbur's grip and went back to throwing water at the two men. 

After a while, Wilbur and Phil went back onto dry land, and watched Addison chase after crabs and grab shells she enjoyed, getting a small pile gathered that she left near Wilbur and Phil. "I hope I can always keep her this happy." Wilbur said.
