To The Stage - An Asking Alexandria Fanfic-

Chapter Fourty-Nine

"DADDY!!!!" Florence ran out of the pool and towards Danny.

"Florence! Hi baby girl." He scooped her up in her arms ignoring the fact that she was soaking wet. "I missed you daddy. When are me and mommy getting to come home?" Everyone got quiet.

"I don't know baby girl. I don't know."

"I miss you daddy. And Belle. And Luci." I watched as Danny hugged her tighter. I had missed Danny. Missed all of him. His hugs. Laugh. Kisses. Humor. Passion. All of it.

"Mommy, when can we go home to daddy?"

"I'm not sure baby."

"Soon mommy?"

"Maybe baby."

"Go play baby girl. Mommy and I need to talk." I got up from my spot and followed Danny into the house.

"Jenn...I need to talk you. Please?"

"Danny."

"No. I fucked up. I know I did. And there are no excuses. I slipped. I slipped and fell straight down the hole. And I failed you. And I've let Florence down. And I've ruined all of this. I broke your trust. And I ruined our family. I drank too much. I fucked some slut. I called you a whore."

"Go on."

"I thought I could handle it. And I drank too much. And she just came along. She whispered sweet nothings in my ear and I fell for it. I. Am. A. Fuck. Up. I-" I covered his mouth.

"Danny Robert Worsnop. You aren't a fuck up. Do you understand me? The next time I hear those words out of your mouth I will slap the shit out of you. Are we clear? You are many things. A wonderful father. A talented musician. A best friend. But a fuck up you ARE NOT. Get it through your fucking head." I was chest to chest with him now. Less than an inch was in between us and I'm sure the rage I had was radiating. I watched as he lifted his hand and brought it to my cheek. I felt him wipe away a tear that I hadn't realize was falling.

"I'm sorry Jennifer. I'm sorry. I am so sorry. Please don't cry. I can handle everything but you crying. I'm sorry." I leaned my head on his chest.

"You have no idea how betrayed I felt. I can go through an asylum. I can go through the hate. Through the disappointment my mother feels. But not that. Could you imagine coming home to find me in bed with another man?"

"I'd feel abandoned."

"Danny you and Florence are my family. I would fail without you."

"I'm sorry."

"I forgive you." He looked at me and grabbed my face on each side with his hands. I tilted my face up slightly as I felt his lips against mine. Oh how I missed these kisses.

"Come home?"

"Yes." He kissed me again and Florence came running inside. She held on to mine and Danny's leg.

"Can we go home now mommy?"

"Yes baby. We can."
