YOUR POV
Amelia didn't lie that day. She was there when I woke up. She's also here with me now, two weeks later, at the hospital. Outside my Pa's room.
- y/n : I don't want to go in
- Amelia : You've got to go in. You heard what Teddy said, this is it
- y/n : But-
- Winnie : Mom
- y/n : Come here bug. How have you been?
- Winnie : Good. I missed you
- y/n : I missed you too bug
Winnie hasn't slept at my house in two weeks. She wants to stay at Jack's and that's fine with me because then Amelia can stay over without confusing Winnie.
- Jack : How's he doing?
- y/n : I haven't been in. Dad, Scott, Chloe and the baby are in there
- Winnie : Is Grandpa okay?
- y/n : Remember how I said that Grandpa was sick, well he's getting ready to go to heaven
- Winnie : Why can't I go with him?
- Jack : Heaven is for old people, animals and things. Not little girls
Today is probably the day. If not today then very soon.
- y/n : Hey Pa
- Tim : No. Get-
- Ernie : Tim I swear to god I won't hesitate to die angry at you. Let my daughter into this room
- Chloe : Hey guys
- Jack : Chloe, you look great
- Scott : Uhm. That's my wife Gibson
- Jack : I meant it as a friend. She looks great for a new Mom
It feels normal. It isn't because my Dad is giving me the evil eyes from across the room, Winnie is clinging to my leg and Pa is in a hospital bed.
- y/n : Hey Pa
- Ernie : You bought the whole party
- y/n : Of course. You're important to us all
-Winnie : Grandpa?
- Ernie : Hello honey
- Winnie : Can I sit with you?
- Ernie : As long as someone can pick you up and get you up here
We're all acting like it's just a normal check up, well everyone except my Dad.
- Tim : No. You do not get to touch him.
- Winnie : Why is Grandad angry at you Mom?
- y/n : It doesn't matter bug. Dad, outside
- Tim : No, your might kill-
- Scott : Don't finish that sentence
- Amelia : Want me to come with you?
- y/n : Stand by the door so if things get heated you can save me
Amelia is my comfort and this is going to be easier if I confront him and she's nearby,
- y/n : Dad, I-
- Tim : Don't call me that. I am not your father, not since you couldn't cure my husband
- y/n : Right. I'm sorry I can't do anything but Pa is still my family. I deserve to be able to say goodbye even if you hate me
- Tim : If it wasn't for my husband, I wouldn't want you here. Once it happens, I never want to hear from you
- y/n : Okay. That applies for Winnie too. You don't get to see my daughter and not me. You could fill her head with lies about her mother
It's only fair.
- Chloe : Hey Tim. Let's go on a walk so the baby can fall asleep
- Tim : I stand by what I said Y/n
After my Pa dies, I lose my Dad too. Great.
- Amelia : Everything okay?
- y/n : Mhm
- Ernie : Come sit down, both of you
- Amelia : I can leave
- Ernie : Come sit. You make Y/n happy so sit
Jack doesn't know about Amelia, neither does Winnie.
- Jack : Come on Winnie. Let's go on a walk. Let your Mom and Uncle Scott have a minute with Grandpa
- Ernie : Thank you
It's just me, Scott and Amelia. I'm guessing if Chloe wasn't on a walk with my father then she'd be in here.
- Ernie : Y/n knows everything. How I want everything sorted out after I go.
- Scott : Mhm okay
- Ernie : Scott, you need to stop blaming your sister. It's not her fault. Your father is too stubborn to change his mind but it is not Y/n's fault. You hear me?
- Scott : I hear you
- Ernie : Now apologise to your sister
- Scott : I'm sorry Y/n
I feel like a little kid. Like when me and Scott used to argue as kids Pa would make us apologise and give each other a hug.
- Ernie : Have you two sorted yourselves out?
- y/n : Me and Amelia? Erm-
- Amelia : Yeah. I mean if Y/n wants to be my girlfriend
- y/n : Oh god I'm not having this conversation in front of my family
- Scott : It's kind of obvious. Just answer the woman Y/n/n
- y/n : Yes I'll be your girlfriend
So me and Amelia are official girlfriends. I'm trying not to make it obvious I want to hug her but of course Pa has noticed.
- Ernie : Just hug her will you
- y/n : Not in front of you guys. That's awkward
- Amelia : Come here, girlfriend
- Scott : Just do it
I will say, it's nice to be able hug Amelia and know it's more then a friendly hug.
- Ernie : You two are adorable
- y/n : Thanks Pa
- Amelia : Thank you Ernie
- y/n : So Scott, how's Lewis?
- Scott : He's great. He sleeps in like 2 hours increments but me and Chloe don't mind getting up. He's not super fussy either. It's great
- Ernie : You were a calm baby. The first always is. The second is a menace and the third is a mix of the two
- y/n : I was the favourite
- Ernie : I love you all equally
- Scott : Mhm sure
Parents lie, they always have favourites. I'm glad I don't have to pick a favourite. I only have Winnie at the minute and probably forever. Unless me and Amelia stay together and then Scout is my step-son but even then I won't have have favourites. I'll love them both equally.
