"Wait, wait let me get this straight? Your dad is my grandfather and he's still alive?" I asked

"Yes"  

"but how are we going to you know break the news to him about all of this?"

"let me think about it?" he put his hand on his forehead

"ok just let me know when we get there" I settled down in the back leaning against the back of Riley's seat and surprisingly dozed off to the swaying of the car.

"mommy why don't I ever see my daddy?"

"Well honey, your daddy is going  on great adventures traveling the world searching for amazing treasure"

"like a pirate!"

"yes honey like a pirate, now get some rest "  she tucked me in, kissing my forehead, leaving the door ajar

"Mommy?"

"yes?" She poked her head back in

"will I ever see my daddy?"

"one-day sweetpea one day" then she was gone and I was left to my dreams and imagination of knowing who my daddy was.

I woke up to the stopping of the car I rubbed my eyes

"Riley, are we here?" I  yawned

"Yeah, it looks ok"

"park a couple of blocks away" Ben instructed


"how much time do you think we got?" Riley asked

"I'm gonna give them a couple of hours at least. I hope"

" me to let's just get this over with" I huffed

"what do we do about her? I have some duct tape in the back"

I smacked Riley on the back of the head "Riley"

"ouch what was that for"

"no that won't be necessary, she won't be any trouble, promise you won't be any trouble"

"I promise" she replied

"and you behave your self" he pointed to me

"ok I will, I will"  I smirked

we rounded a corner and put the van in park  I grabbed my backpack and slung it over my shoulder. Abby and I got out of the back of the van. Shutting the door behind me we all started walking till we got to the house. At the front, Ben rang the bell and waited for a second, a man came to the door in a robe. The man looked at us for a second then on to Ben and after an awkward second  Ben spoke

"Dad"

the man smirked and started rocking on his heels
