Filling your Daddy's Shoes

Chapter 30: Some news

Grayson stood in her room looking at the letter.
"Dear Miss Halstead,
I am to inform you that your dad is not Jay Halstead. It's Kyle James. And you are pregnant."

Grayson nearly fell to the ground. She didn't know what to do. It seemed like she was being ripped apart.

"Shane,I need to tell you something."

Shane walked into her room. She closed the door.
"What happened?"

"Your dad is my dad.."

"Yeah. He is,Grayson Jay is your dad."

"No. Your actual dad is my dad. We are brother and sister by blood. Not just by adoption."

"No you aren't."

Grayson handed him the letter.
"Holy shit. Have you told Uncle Jay?"

"No. I don't know how Shane." She started crying...

"Hey Don't cry." Shane lifted her head up.

"Shane,I don't know how to tell him. He is too busy with Kyle."
She smiled

They both walked out of her room.

"Daddy!" Kyle ran towards him.

"Hey Bud." Jay picked him up.

Emily sat next to Grant in the doctor's office. They only had two more months until their baby came. Grant was so happy he was becoming a dad.

"Emily Ryans." She walked in holding hands with Grant.

"You are getting there Emily." the nurse smiled.

"We would like to find out the gender." Grant looked at Emily and smiled so big. His parents were mad that he was going to be a dad but after a while they got used to it and started to be there for him.

"Well Emily,Grant it looks like you are going to have a girl." Emily's smile was so big. Grant kissed her.

"Gray,I need you to drop these off at the district."

"Alright." Jay handed her a stack of papers.

"Kyle,do you wanna go see Grandpa?" She smiled as he grabbed one of her fingers. Kyle's eyes got big real fast. He walked out the door with Grayson.

Grayson drove to the district. She was surprised to see Mikey there.

"Hello Beautiful!" He smiled as he hugged her.

"Hello Handsome." She smiled as his lips touched hers.

"Lovebirds. You have a little kid here. Watch it." chuckled Platt

"We are." Grayson bit her lip. Grayson grabbed Kyle's hand again and they walked upstairs.
"Grandpa,My dad wanted me to give you these. Also I have some news."

"Give me the news first." Hank kinda frowned

"I'm not Jay's kid.. He's my Uncle."

"Who's your dad?"

"Kyle.. Shane's dad." Hank looked worried but he gave her a hug.

"I'm sorry you didn't get to meet your dad. He was a nice man."

"I have been told that but It's not your fault he died."

"I know it's not but He was a hero. He would have loved having a daughter."

"I gotta go." She grabbed a hold of Kyle's hand then walked out of the district.

She took Kyle inside then sat on the couch.
"Dad or Uncle Jay? Can you tell me about my dad?"

"As you already know he was my best friend. We both grew up from when we were 4 to now. Until he passed away. He was my partner in crime and we did everything together and nothing made sense if we didn't. Everyone at school knew us as the troublemakers. We played baseball and soccer and we always had a good time. He was there for me when my parents got a divorce and he saved my life...twice."

"Did you ever talk about your future and think this would be it?"

"No. We didn't know what life would bring us. And surely I know he wasn't suspecting to have two kids at 19 but sometimes God has his ways. I raised Shane from the time he was 4 because I knew Kyle would do the same.. He always found a way to steal my girl but it never bothered me because the girls I always dated were jealous,like your Mom."

"Can I still call you dad?"

"You can call me whatever you want." Jay grabbed her head and kissed the top of it.

"Grayson,I am proud of how far you've come. You have come so far and I am so proud.."

"Thanks. I had you and Erin and Shane helping me out..."

Grayson smiled

"So I guess you aren't my daughter. But I want you to know you will always be my little girl even if you aren't."

"You will always be my dad even if You aren't. You took me in and treated my like your own. Like you did with Shane."

"I was kinda stuck with Shane."

"Yeah.." She laughed.

She walked back up to her room and decided to reread the letter. That has changed her life. A lot. She didn't know what to say. She was pregnant and Jay wasn't really her dad. She didn't know. She couldn't believe it. How was it that she only it one time and it was her first and she got pregnant. She didn't know how to tell them. It was just not possible on how to tell them. She figured she'd wait. Shane walked into her room.
"Shane,how do I tell Mom and Uncle Jay?"

"Just flat out tell them. I don't know."

"I am just gonna tell them. Once I get the courage." She went to sleep.
