After Bucky spent some time getting to know his new niece and nephews, and playing with Tia. He went to find his dad who didn't congratulate them on their engagement. He found James outside, sitting alone in the fire pit area. 

He stepped outside, and sat down across from him. 

"Dad..I'm ready to talk." He said 

James looked up, "James.." he whispered 

"Before you say anything let me say my peace.." Bucky said 

"Ok.." James said 

"I'm sorry that I've been asshole to you these last four years. But you have to understand that I've been angry with you. You didn't push mom to go when she first found the lump. You instead let it fester in her and spread. She was your wife the mother of your kids, and you aren't only her husband but you are a medical professional. You know when Reign called me cause she was in trouble I took her to the ER because at that time she was someone I semi cared about she argued with me the whole way there that she didn't need to go. I know that mom could be stubborn, but you should of put her in the car and took her not wait two months. I wAs angry because you sugar coated everything to me and lied to me. You would constantly tell me the medicine will work the surgery will fix her..and it didn't..I was angry because you began to cheat on Mom and she knew it she could sense it! You couldn't even look at her..but more than anything I was angry because I didn't know she was dyijg those last six months..when we brought in hospice nobody explained to me what that meant..and you were gone." He said 

James looked down. 

"Dad I needed you, I needed you to be my dad but you were to busy burying yourself in Blair's pussy to care. So yes I pushed you away, and at one point I thought about emancipation..quite honestly I started to do what you did to me..I went and had sex..I buried my pain in a girl's pussy, and drowned it with alcohol and weed cigarettes. So I'm sorry dad I just I missed mom, and I was having to face a world without her no different than everyone else..it hurt to see everyone pick up the pieces and move on like nothing happened..and I was frozen she was my best friend, I'm Mama's boy.." he said 

"Son you don't need to apologize to me, I wasn't the best dad to you or your siblings. I love you mother she was my love since the 7th grade..the day we found out about the cancer I tried to be positive not only for her you and your siblings but for me. I wanted to believe that she would beat it. I didn't have a crystal ball son I didn't know what to expect if I had known what the future held I would have done so many things differently. And yeah I made my mistakes I have to own up to them..I'm currently going back to therapy and haven't been at work cause my therapist wants me to stay away from women..I know sugar coated son but it was your mother's wishes to keep you in the dark she didn't want you to worry, she was afraid that you would give up football to be home with her or not be able to sleep. I didn't let her die I can't get those words out of my head that you yelled at me that day, that you hated me, that I lied to you about the medicine and I let her die.." James said 

Bucky looked down, "Im sorry, I was angry and hurt." He said softly 

They hugged. 

"Promise me son, you will love Reign and not make my mistakes." He said 

"I promise.." Bucky said 

They went inside, Bucky asked for everyone to come into the sitting room.

"I have to do one last thing, and that is to address my out burst earlier this year.." he said 

"Honey it's ok you don't have to we know it's a tough day on all of us." Helen said 

"No I do nana. Um, every year since dad sold the house I skip school and sit outside the house I replay that day over and over trying to figure out if I could of saved her.For a long time I thought it was my fault that I missed the signs..earlier this year I went there but um..the house is gone it's been torn down..and a new house has been built..so I want to say I'm sorry for my outburst I was upset that the one last piece of mom I had was now gone..I lost it I came home that day drank some more and got extremely high." He said 

"Honey.." Marleigh said 

"But I'm good now.." he said 

They all hugged him.
