The Unexpected Nanny 2

19- The girls dates

Antonio dropped Ethan off at his car, and looked at the time, making sure he wouldn't be late to see his daughters leave with their new boyfriends, who were also taking them to the dance. Ethan had been quiet since they left Melissa's, and wanted to be sure that he would be OK if he left him alone.

"My life is just fucked."

"Don't think like that. Things will get better, just remember that she was the one cheating on you. We still need to order a DNA test, and if it comes out that she is in fact yours, just remember that you hold the future, and can still make up for lost time. Yes, I know it will hurt that you missed out on the beginning years of her life, but you have to move on, and enjoy what you can with her now."

"Think about it, if she is in fact mine, I lost four years, four years Antonio, you know damn well I would have been there for her." he sighed, and groaned, wanting to punch something "I really need to get my shit together. I can't keep doing this anymore. I possibly have a child out there, and a woman who I care deeply about, the one who keeps pushing me away, for some damn reason, the one who tells me one thing, and then does another... and then I have a girl that is interested in me, who I like a lot, and we have a lot in common, but the thing of it is... I have been trying to sort out my feelings between the two. I know where my heart is, and where it's been. But my heart keeps getting shattered, every time I try to do something. I've tried doing what you've asked me to do, and I feel like I'm cheating on them both."

Antonio ran his hands though his hair, and looked at Ethan "Only you can decide that for yourself, I keep giving you advice, and you aren't taking it. Maybe take a break, and do what you have been doing the last four years and just be yourself, that way, you're not stringing them both along. By what you're doing now you'll end up in the psychiatric ward, from making yourself go nuts." Antonio laughed.

"Cuckoo." Ethan chuckled.

"I'd love to sit and talk with you more, but I need to get home, the girls have a dance to attend to, and they are being picked up by their new boyfriends. I'm not missing out on this one."

Ethan shook his head "Did I just hear you right?" Ethan asked in shock.

Antonio nodded his head, and started scratching his cheek.

"In that case, I'm going to be there too. There will be no boy getting past me, until I meet who are taking out my nieces." Ethan smiled.

"Exactly, I'm not missing this moment for anything."

Antonio hurried to get home, not wanting to miss his daughters dressed up, and the boys who will be taking them to the dance. Sadie was doing the girls hair, and heard the front door close "Oh... I think I hear your dad." Sadie smiled.

"I hope he doesn't embarrass us in front of our dates." Gabriella sighed, covering her face. Sadie removed Gabriella's hands away from her face, and looked at her with a smile "This is a big thing for him, I don't think he will, but don't be surprised if he asks them any questions." she giggled.

"Oh God." Gabriella said, embarrassed.

Antonio found them in the bathroom, and his heart felt heavy seeing them get all dressed up. He couldn't believe his oldest daughters were going out on dates, and wasn't ready for this. But knew he never would be prepared for this day, he knew he had to be strong, and let them do what fifteen-year old's do. He knew he couldn't keep them confined, or they would resent him later.

"When you're done with them, I would like to have a talk with them." He then looked at his daughters, and winked. He leaned himself against the doorframe, and watched Sadie with them, he knew that if Harlow were still alive, that she would be doing the same thing with them, and appreciated everything that Sadie has done for them over the years.
