His past was an undiscovered world that I never knew

An unexpected visitor

Eric was lying on the floor playing with Gracie and Kai , tami was cleaning up she was in the kitchen doing the dishes when the doorbell went she smiled at Eric

" I've got it " she says and walks to the door when she opens it a pretty woman about 30 was there she was tall and had brown eyes like Eric's

She thought to herself if this is a surprise kid I am going to kill him

" hi there can I help you"

"Hi does Eric Taylor live here by any chance."

" yes he is just " and she stopped as the girl pushed passed her and went running down the hall

" SUPER STAR BIG GUY " she screamed and then she saw him he stood up and she came running towards him

" hey Sophie"

" BIG GUY I'm gonna kill you for not talking to me in years I am "

Tami walked in and sat down on the couch

Eric looked over Sophie shoulder to see Tami sitting there with that I'm gonna kill you look

He pulled away from the hug

" Tami this is Sophie and Sophie this is tami my wife and Kai and Gracie "

"Oh how rude of me I'm so sorry hi there tami " she says walking over and hugging tami , tami hugged her back awkwardly Eric was trying his hardest not to laugh at how awkward tami was looking

Sophie pulled away from the hug and sat down on the couch

Tami walked away towards the bedroom

Eric walked after her as Sophie played with Gracie and Kai

Eric walked into the bedroom

" who the hell is Sophie "

" Sophie is my umm Sophie is my little sister."

" a sister thanks god I thought it was like a surprise child and I was gonna kill you wait a sister you said you were a only child "

" why would I have a surprise child "

" I don't know Eric why would you have a surprise sister "

" I'm sorry "

" whatever come on move let's go " she says trying to push him out the door but he stops at the door and turns round he holds the side of her face and leans down slowly she tries hard not to smile his lips meet hers and they kiss he pulls away after a while

" I'm still mad Eric "

" I know I know I can see it in your eyes it feels like your gonna strangle me "

" yea we'll you better keep back then mmh"

" you got it but I also saw how hard you tried not to smile when I was kissing you "

" you know me too damn we'll " she says smiling but then she walks past him he laughs and walks after her

Eric goes back to playing with the kids with now Sophie

While tami finished the dishes after she dried her hands and walked through she sat on the couch and Eric stood up he walked over and sat down next her not too close because she was still angry and an angry tami can do a lot of damage

" I think little Kai is tired aren't you Kai "

" I'm not mummy " he says yawning

" come on Kai let's go for a little sleep" Eric says and stands up he picks up Kai and Kai cuddles into him

He walks away down the hall

" Eric has a big football game tonight if you wanted to come watch with us"

" Eric still plays football "

" no he is a coach he has been a coach for 15 years yeah we'll anyway he is head coach at the football team for Dillon and if he wins this game his team goes to the playoffs so it's a pretty big game"

" oh wow really yea that would be great"

" Gracie are we gonna go see the team win tonight "

" yea mummy can we go now "

"No silly billy it's after dinner dads probably gonna leave soon though "

" mummy I want to go with dad to practice "

" it's a big game daddy will probably just go alone tonight but maybe on Monday "

" yay "

" I better go put Kai to sleep because eric is gonna have to get dressed " she says and stands up

She walks through to her bedroom where Kai and Eric were lying on the bed

She shuts the door

" Eric I'm going to kill you , you are gonna have to leave soon and I am going to be left alone with her for 3 hours , 3 hours of awkwardness "

" you will be fine just moan about me to her she will probably enjoy that "

" excuse me I don't think she will she shoved me out the way at the door and came running to you "

" yea true point probably not a good idea "

" your annoying you know that I will get him to sleep you go get dressed"

" but you love me " he says laughing

" yes damn I love you but you still drive me insane "

" I love you too " he says and stands up she lies down on the bed next to Kai

Within 20 minutes Kai was asleep tami walked through and Eric wasn't there neither was Gracie

" where is Gracie " she asks

" she was tired she is through there sleeping I just lifted her through "

" aww thanks I'm guessing Eric left "

" oh big guy yea he left "

" right I guess it's just you and me then"

" yep in sorry for the surprise visit "

" what oh now it's fine "

" you looked a bit shocked actually really big "

" yea we'll umm.. "

" you didn't know about me did ya "

" emm not exactly but I could tell you were related to Eric somehow like the eyes and the colour of your hair but I didn't exactly think you were a sister"

" OMG you thought I was a surprise child "

" pretty much yea but he hasn't slept with anyone else so that would be impossible but yea pretty much "

" sorry again "

" it's okay Eric should've told me 22 years of marriage and he said he was an only child "

" really 22 years wow yea we'll after some certain family issues I guess we all just went separate ways "

" yea about your dad I know I had the joys of meeting him "

" Eric is very emm I don't know embarrassed hurt about him I didn't think he would ever tell anyone "

" yea I guess but when I get embarrassed and hurt I kind of pull away but he pulls me right back we kinda save each other in a way "

" that's good I always knew that Eric would be the proper family man "

" yes he is amazing really is " she says smiling

" I haven't heard from big guy in a while I was a bit worried "

" he's fine he was struggling a lot when your dad was here but I think he is doing alright now "

" yea dad tried that with mike and then he tried it with me and then obviously big guy "

" mike ......." she said looking quite confused
