"Yeah." Christina smiled. "That's what my mom said....."

Dr. August was so shocked that a little girl that he thought that he would never see was standing right in front of him. He kept his flooded eyes on her, crouched down, and hugged her as tight as he could. Christina hugged Dr. August back on his broad shoulders. He couldn't help but to cry on his daughters shoulders. He cried silently while Christina smiled, rubbing his upper shoulders.

"I never thought that I would see you.." Dr. August whispered, clutching onto her. "I never thought that I would see you. Ever."

"I didn't think that I would have a dad like mom said." Christina cheered, looking back at Dr. August.

Dr. August wiped his eyes, placing his hands on the side of her face and stroking her short hair to the side.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Dr. August asked. "I would've.....I would.....I might've did something different."

"I couldn't!" Christina whined. "I didn't know if mom knew what she was talking about or not."

"Where is your mother?" Dr. August asked. "Is she here?"

"She's back in the Netherlands." Christina sighed. "She couldn't come for......reasons.."

Dr. August's heart was racing. He really wanted to see Numra. After 9 years, he was thriving to see her. Christina pulled out a crumpled up piece of paper in her pocket and unravled it.

"I called my uncle Tommy out there and told him that I wanted to stay. With you." Christina smiled. "You uh...........didn't care if I stayed with you did you?"

"Of course not!" Dr. August smiled as he put up his mop bucket in his closet. "In fact, we can leave now if you want?"

"Can we do some daddy and daughter stuff tonight?" Christina asked. "I have a list of things that we can do. They aren't long or anything!"

"We can do whatever you wan't." Dr. August smiled. "What did you want to do?"

"I want to um......go to fat burger!" Christina cheesed. "We can get the biggest burger with EVERYTHING on it!"

"Oh yeah! Of course!" Dr. August cheesed as he placed his arm around her. "Come on. We can do whatever you want."

Dr. August stopped everything he was doing, cancelled every appointment, and headed to fat burger with his daughter. All he wanted to do was spend time with her, especially after missing out on her for 9 years. Christina placed her sleepover back in the back and headed out with them. Him and his daughter drove 10 minutes away to the local fat burger. When they got there, he ordered 2 extra large and loaded burgers with a basket of fries. As a man waited in line by their table, Dr. August tapped the mans shoulder and watched him turn around. Both of their faces were stuffed and they both were chewing extremely loud.

"That's my daughter." Dr. August smiled with his cheeks full of food, pointing at her.

"That's uh.........great!" The man nodded, putting on a fake smile.

"Hey!" Christina cheesed, looking up at him.

"Yeah?"

"That's my dad!" Christina smiled, pointing at him.

The man wasn't interested, but he couldn't help but to be happy with how cute they were.

"You guys are adorable." The man laughed under his breath. "You really are."

The man slowly turned around to focus on standing back and line and getting his food. Meanwhile, Dr. August decided to catch up with the daughter that he never knew that he had.
