Chapter Sixteen-"Ricochet, You Take Your Aim"
Andy POV
"Andy... Why did you come and see me?" Dad asked after he let me and Ashley in the house. Sam had gone as soon as we pulled up. Probably to feed or something.
"I missed you." I mumbled. "I wanted to see you."
"He was very persistent." Ashley said. "Told Amy he was coming regardless of whether she liked it or not."
Dad sighed. "Ever since the divorce she... She's been... Difficult."
"Dad, I gotta tell you some stuff." I said.
"What Andy?" He asked.
"Dad, um... 'M gay." I said. "A-Ashley's my boyfriend."
"And mate." Dad nodded.
"Dad, wha-"
"I know a vampire when I see one Andy." Dad said. "What do you think I did in the Army? I killed vampires."
Ashley froze. He was shaking.
"Baby?" I asked. "Ashley, I-"
"He killed my kind Andy." Ashley whispered.
"I didn't want to." Dad said quietly. "I had to. We all did. Our mission was to kill vampires in Colorado." Dad sighed. "Rouges."
Ashley looked up. "What?"
"Rouges, Ashley, rouges. I had to kill rouge vampires in Colorado." Dad said. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Ashley shook his head and wiped his tears away. "Rouges are scum."
"Well, I'm glad we cleared that up." I said. "Yes, Daddy, Ashley's also my mate."
"And you're still human..." Dad stated in disbelief.
"I won't change him until he's ready." Ashley said. "I want him to be able to finish high school at least."
"Okay. Let me ask you something. Have you had... Sex yet?"
The way he emphasised 'sex' made Ashley and I cringe. I just nodded.
"Okay. Ashley?"
"Y-yeah?" He cringed.
Aw, he's still embarrassed about the sex question, how cute!
"Have you ever fed off my son?"
"No. I've never fed off Andy. When vampires feed, we... We don't stop unless we're changing the human, I... I don't wanna hurt him. I love him." Ashley whispered the last part and looked at his hands.
"Ash..." I gently grabbed his face in mine. "I trust you sweetie. I love you Ashy."
He smiled and connected our lips. We broke away blushing after Dad emitted an 'aww'.
"Daddy..."
"What? You two are adorable! I'm happy for you."
I smiled.
"Wait here!" Dad rushed off and came back with a package.
"Here." He handed it to me. "For your birthday."
"Why didn't you deliver it?" Ash questioned.
"Amy." Dad said at the same time I said "Mum."
"So, open it!"
I laughed. "Okay, Ashy I will."
I tore off the wrapping paper. Inside was a stuff bear dressed as Batman.
"Aww that's adorable!" Ashley cooed.
"Daddy!" I squeeled. "Thank you, I love it!" I hugged him.
He laughed and hugged me back. "You used to love Batman when you were little. From your reaction I take it you still do?"
"You've got no idea Chris." Ashley laughed.
I hugged Dad again and wouldn't let go. I'd missed him too much. I hadn't had a Daddy for six years. It had killed me.
Ashley whined. "I feel unloved!"
I let go of Dad and went and sat in Ashy's lap. His arms wound around my waist. I snuggled up to him. "You know I love you, silly."
"Love you too, baby." Ash kissed the top of my head.
"Aww, you too are adorable!" Dad laughed.
He got out his phone and started taking pictures.
I didn't care, I just snuggled up to Ash. I was happy. I had my mate and I had my Daddy back. My mother could go and fuck herself if she thought she could take my Daddy away from me again.
No one is taking my family away from me.
