Mr. Hector's Daughter (A Home Alone 2 Fanfic)

Family Reunion Part Two

We went back to the hotel. Dad was at his desk. Kevin gave his second turtle dove to Kate.

"Aw Kevin."

She gave him a big hug while on the verge of tears.

"Merry Christmas Mommy."

I walked to my father with mine.

"Olivia, what can I do for you this time of night huh?"

"Merry Christmas Mr. Hector."

I gave him the turtle dove.

"What is this?" he asked smirking

"A turtle dove, at Duncan's Toy Chest, I was given two of them, one for myself and for someone I love."

"Why would you choose me, a grumpy hotel concierge whom you are too young for and-"

"You don't get it do you? After ten years of separation, you don't even recognize your own kid!?"

His eyes widened.

"Olive! My darling!"

He ran from his desk to give me a big hug. He was crying. He kissed me on the forehead. He calmed down after a few seconds.

"You're mother dumped you here with me?"

"It seemed like a last resort because she dumped me with my grandparents, aunts and uncles before, I was always brought back to Mum. I was afraid you would take me back to Mum too."

"I would keep you for myself in a second!"

He kissed me on the cheek. I smiled.

"You were here all this time and I didn't even remember you! I'm sorry, ever since the divorce, I was kept from you a hundred percent, no visits or photos, nothing."

I took both his hands.

"What happened with you and Mum"

"We never never got along as a married couple, our differences were endless, we were foolish. She's not even your birth mother anyway."

"What?"

"Your real Mum died a while after you were born, she was out with her girlfriends for a girls' night on the town. I trusted her loyalty and she trusted me with you all by myself for a few hours. She and her friends were hit by a reckless driver. Only two survived and she didn't. I remarried because you needed a mother, I though she was nice, it wasn't until seven and a half years later we weren't meant for each other. She won custody of you because she was a female, feminist. To get back at me, she wouldn't let me see you. For ten years, you had to put up with that woman. I know child abandonment is wrong but I'm glad she did or else we wouldn't be speaking to each other."

We hugged again even tighter.

"I live in a two story flat, it's average, there's a spare bedroom waiting for you."

I smiled and hugged him again. The McCallister's were smiling too.
