Zachs pov

I saw someone else at the park it looks like a man he looked pretty tall but I couldnt really tell he was sitting on the bench ahead of me his head was in his hands he looked sad aswell. I rest my head up against the cold chain on the swing and kick at the dirt under my feet. I was tired I was upset I wish I knew where uncle corbyn was at I wish I knew where my other dad was. I hear faint quiet sniffles i glance up and see the person on the bench lift his head out of his hands he whipped away tears from his cheeks I wanted to ask what was wrong but dad warned me about stranger danger. The man looked in my direction so i quickly look away i look up a few moments later to see hes still staring at me he seemed to be studying my face. I got really uncomfortable and was contemplating leaveing or not but I didnt know where to go certainly not home. I was looking down at my hands when the swing beside me rattles I look over and see the man beside me he was looking at me I had a clear view of his face...it was him. H-hi zach he said looking at me with loving eyes. My eyes widened a bit I didnt answer but je whipled the tears away dont cry please dont cry he said but I couldnt help it. Do you know who i am? He asks in a shaky voice yo-your m-my da-daddy I say quietly and feel warm arms wrapping around me yes,yes I am he says we were now standing and hugging this is the moment I've dreamed of for as long as I could remeber. I hugged him back this was the best moment I could think of my heart was pounding and I was very nervous. ZACHARY! I heard my dad yell so i quickly rip away from the man and run away quickly. I heard my name being called louder than before by the familiar voices of jack eben and dad I didnt listen I heard footsteps behind me and soon they caught me zach dont do that ever again I was so worried! My dad said out of breath we were now on the ground he held me in his lap and kissed my face repeatedly im so glad we found you! He said I tried to squirm out of his grip because he was kissing me so much. Daddys here I say quietly what?!? He whislers quietly holding my face in his cold hands. I repeated myself and he started to get panicky zach lets go home he said and I shook my head no yes! He uses his strict voice that he uses when im in trouble. We hear someone clear their throat and we both look towards the direction and there he was.

Nobody's pov

Jonah started to stride over towards them daniel held zach tighter once Jonah crouched down beside them. Leave him alone! Daniel spat angerly well then mabey you should acually let him go then the man said back in a dominate voice like kinda scared zach a bit he wouldnt want to be yelled at with thst voice. Daniel and joanh argued back and forth for a few minutes daniels grip getting tighter and tighter with every word until zach couldnt take it any longer he harshly bit down on daniels forearm making the older hiss in agony. Zach took this as his chance and jumped from his dads arms but just to be pulled into another pair of warm arms. Jonah wrapped his arms around the boy tightly and hugged him. Let him go Jonah! Daniel spats pulling at his son but he stopped when he realized zach was hugging Jonah back and that all three were in tears daniel realized how selfish he was im sorry he says quietly he joined his hug and Jonah gladly exepted it in on arm he held zach and in the other he held daniel this is the moment hes been waiting for.
