You:" and what about-"
Austin:" the drinking?"
You:" yeah. . ."
Austin:" I haven't drank since that night. . . I've been completely sober for about 2 years now."
You:" really? Completely?"
Austin:" yeah."
You:" you didn't relapse or anything? How?"
Austin:" I thought about that night at the hospital and. . . I don't want y/s to grow up without a dad. And I know that there are a million other guys that would be better for him but I want to be the one there for him. For you."
You:" but-"
Austin:" I missed 2 years of his life. His first words, his first steps, I don't want to miss anything else. I want to be there for his first day of school, when he learns how to ride a bike, I want to be the one there for him. Not Alex, not Robert, not Zach, but me."
He pulls out his phone dials a number. Your phone rings and you answer it.
Austin:" so I'm calling you because I think I've got my life together and I know what I want."
He hangs up the phone and grabs your hands.
Austin:" I want to be in your life again. I want to be in y/s life. So, do you think you can give me another chance?"
You think about it for a minute.
You:" well, would you like to get to know your son?"
Austin smiles at you and kisses you.
Austin:" that would be great."
You:" well then let's go, jackass."
The End
