Julie's POV

~ At Julie's house ~

We were all in my moms basement. Enjoying this family time.

Everyone was either stuffing their faces with food or having a chat with people they probably hadn't seen in a while.

Jacob, Craig, Kay, Ray, TeTe, Tay, Chresanto and I were all sitting at the table together and just sharing old memories.

I didn't talk much but I smiled at everything that everyone brought up.

This is how it was supposed to be. We were all having a great time together and enjoying this.

My head was leaned up against Jacob's shoulder. Every time he laughed, his shoulders would move slightly.

He placed a hand on my leg and looked down at me.

I gave him a smile as he moved his arm so that I could lay up against his chest as he put an arm around me.

"You know you look beautiful princess" he says with a smile.

Before I could respond Craig cut me off.

"Jacob man, I really appreciate you looking after Julie when I couldn't." Craig speaks in a sincere tone while giving us both a smile.

"No problem man, I'll always be here to help" he says to Craig but I feel like he was assuring that towards me too.

Craig stands up and so does Jacob. I smile as I see them dap and go in for a man hug.

They take a seat again and I lean over on Craig, only to give his arm a squeeze.

The basement got quiet and we all looked around in confusion.

What was the issue?

I look towards the stairs to see a man in army wear enter the basement and some people let out a gasp.

Some held their hand over their mouth with a suprised look on their face.

Who was that?

I watch as the man walks over to our table with ease. He stops right in front of all of us and I get a clear look at his face.

My heart begins to beat fast as I look at him.

Memories of him flood my mind and I can't believe it's really him.

"Daddy" I say as a a few tears escape my eyes.

"Dad" Craig says, completely star struck.

He has a small smile on his face as he opens his arms for us.

I hop out of my seat and run into his arms. I feel Craig join a couple seconds later.

When Craig told me that dad was coming, I didn't believe him.

I didn't believe that he was actually coming back.

Everyone begin clapping in my fathers return.

I even shed a few tears.

My dad left when Craig was 9 and I was 8 turning 9.

We were all a happy family until they started arguing almost every night.
