It was a wonderful day at the Cardigan Household, & everything was great. PI Investigator, Jake Cardigan, was doing his workout, while his partner, & wife was doing her chores, & taking care of their daughter, Briana, in the process, as they were getting ready to get to work at Cosmos Detective Agency. She was making sure that their daughter is getting some tummy time, while she is doing chores.
When she was all done for the day, She took Brianna, & put her on her tummy, she had colorful lights, & music on, from their home monitor, & participated, & encouraged her like the screen told her to do so. The Baby was in a good mood luckily, & took everything in, & was having a great time. Jake came in after he was doing tinkering with the truck, & smiled, He was glad that he didn't miss this, cause he always wanted to be there, when his children experience something new.
"I am one lucky son of a bitch, I never thought I get to have this again, I thought I was gonna be stuck in the freezer for the rest of my life", he thought to himself, as he smiles, watching his wife, & daughter enjoying their time together. He leaned against the door, & raked his fine through his wet hair. He was also feeling a little bit guilty, cause he wasn't there for his oldest, Danny Cardigan. The Handsome PI is gonna make it a point of talking to him, The next time that he sees him. Jake was suddenly brought back to the present, when he heard his name being called.
"Are you okay, Jake ?", The Beautiful Woman asked her husband, & she was looking him over, like he was a piece of meat,"Not bad for a father of two", He leans down, & kisses her as a response. Briana squealed, as she saw her father, The Former Cop checked her watch, & exclaimed, "That was almost five minutes !", Jake whooped at the news, as he lifted his child up, & hugged her close to his bare chest.
"Oh, I am so proud of you, Munchkin, You are doing so great", Jake said, as he kissed her soft head. She cooed & snuggled into his chest, "I think that someone is ready for bed", he said in sing song voice, & he brought her up to her room, after Sam kisses her, & puts everything away. She was gonna plan their late dinner, when there is a knock on the door, & she was surprised to find her stepson, Danny Cardigan, behind it.
"Danny, This is a nice surprise, I thought that we aren't gonna see you after finals are over", Sam said, as she welcomes him, & kisses his cheek. "I can take a break, I felt bad that I haven't been around much, So, Here is some Chinese, I figure we can eat together", he said, as he held up the bag that he brought. "Me & your dad would love that", as they quickly set everything up.
Jake came down, "Munchkin went down, I was....", He stopped short, as he saw his son there, "Danny, It's so good to see you", They greeted each other with a hug, & they went over to the table, so they can eat the wonderful smelling food. Danny knew that something was bothering his father, & he is gonna get to the bottom of it. After dinner, Danny asked his stepmother, "Sam, You mind if I borrow my dad for a sec ?", She said, "Sure, I'll do dishes", The Men went out to the back porch.
"What's wrong, Dad ?", Danny asked, as they relaxed sitting at the table, "I just feel guilty, Cause of my second chance that I have with your sister, I just wished that I was around more for you", The Young Cardigan shook his head in disbelief, "That's in the past, Dad, Don't ever apologize for being happy, You are here now, & we get busy sometimes". Jake smiles, & said, "I love you, Son", "Right back at ya", They hugged, & enjoyed the rest of their night.
