Emmerdale- Robert Sugden Daughter

Hannah dumped her bag on the dining table as she came in home for school. Her Dad Robert was working at the same table as she moved around the kitchen getting a glass of milk.

"You know there are other places to dump your bag."

"I know." she burped and then grinned at him. Aaron then came in with Liv

"Ya alright. How was school."

"Boring."

"So why are you home late?"

"Studying." she lied smoothly and then put her empty glass in the dishwasher.

"You ready for parents evening, tomorrow night." Robert asked his daughter.

"Yeah, I'm busy, me and the others have got things to do, so your on your own."

"But how so I know which teachers to see." he asked and she pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him.

"names and subjects, ones you'll want to limit your time to because they will chat till the next full moon." Hannah  grabbed her things and went upstairs.

-------

The next evening Robert navigated through Hannah's teacher most giving her praise and a couple saying that she could do better he the sat down with her form tutor.

"Hello." Mrs Gibbons replied

"Robert Sugden, Hannah's Dad."

"Of course she looks a lot like you. So Hannah, she's very bright and social, it's obvious that school isn't her favourite place but she always applies herself." Robert smiled.

"But of course skating is her first love, she loves to inform everyone of her training."

"Excuse me?" Robert asked confused "Hannah's never skated"

"That's impossible, she brings her skates to stool with her and according to her it's her place to go to after school. It was one of the activities offered at the beginning of the school year. As far as I know she's never missed a lesson. She's in the show case this weekend." she brought out a leaflet. he stared at it.

"She needed her parents permission and it came in with your signature"

"Thank you." he stood up and left.

"Hannah!" he yelled getting home. She jogged downstairs being home from her practice for half and hour.

"Yeah."

"You forged my signature so you could go ice skating." her face went drip white.

"Oh yeah your so called study lessons, fake you've been lying to me and them."

"Because you would've said it was too dangerous so why bother. But life  is dangerous and Dad, i'm really good."

" Hannah." he huffed

"You're grounded. two weeks."

"Dad! No! i'm in the showcase this weekend."

"I don't care. you shouldn't have lied to me. Now go to your room and stay there." Hannah ran upstairs and slammed her door just as Aaron came in.

"What's going on?" he wondered

---------

It was the night of the showcase and  Hannah  was looking out the window off her bedroom. The door opened and in walked Robert, with Hannah's tea.

"Sausage and mash." he told her but she never replied just stared out of the window.

"Look, you can't just forge my signature."

"Goodbye."  he sighed and left, Hannah's phone sorted to ring and she saw it was her dance partner, Alec she answered.

"Hey."

"Where are you the show is about to begin." Alec stressed

"I told you my dad grounded me."

"When has that ever be a problem. Look we have worked for weeks on this you can't just bail." she sighed

"i'll be there as soon as I can." she hung up and grabbed her things before climbing out of the window and running to the bus stop. It came a few minutes later and she got on.

A hour later Robert knocked on his daughters door but there was no answer so he opened it.

"I know your mad but you'll talk to me a some p-"  he realised she wasn't there.

"Dammit" he ran back downstairs and grabbed his stuff."

"What's going on."

"It's Hannah, she ran off." Aaron stood up.

"What where."

"I have an idea where." they left and got in the car driving to the ice rink. When they arrived they paid to get inside.

"We need to get backstage."  Robert sighed

"Mr Sugden you made it." they turned round and came to face with Hannah's best friend Amy.

"Amy."

"Your just in time, Hannah's on next, trust me she's amazing...come on." they headed further inside and sat down.

"Please welcome to the Ice Hannah Sugden and Alec Winters." there were cheers as Hannah and Alec skated out on to the ice dressed in gold.

Everyone jumped up and clapped as well as cheered when they finished. Robert saw the pure happiness on his daughters face as she was lifted back to her feet and took their bows. He then stood up and went to find her, after telling the teacher who he was he got backstage and the others where cheering of the two who had just come off.

"Hannah Sugden!" he called and everyone went silent. Hannah swung round ad looked scared

"I know what you said and I know your mad but I couldn't let them down, i'll accept whatever punishment just..." she was cut off my bum hugging her, she was surprised but eventually hugged back.

"It should be me saying sorry, for not supporting you. Yes, I'm mad that you disobeyed me but you were amazing out there."

"Really?" tears began to form at her fathers words.

"Really, however, you're getting changed and coming home right now." Hannah nodded sadly but did as she was asked.
