The Old Soul (A Two and A Half Men Fanfic)

I Thought I Used Protection Part One

Charlie Harper was having a cup of coffee while Berta was doing a load of laundry. Alan walked in.

"Morning," Alan said.

"Morning," Charlie replied.

"I had the weirdest dream last night."

"Did you dream of moving out?...I did," Charlie asked with a smile.

"I dreamed that Jake was a girl."

"That is weird-"

"I know right! Jake's hair was longer, wearing a floral T-shirt and a mini skirt! I know I would love to have a daughter but it's so weird you know!"

Berta walked in as a knock was heard on the door.

"I ain't getting that," Berta said.

"I usually get the door."

Alan walked to the door and answered to a teen girl with long brown hair.

"Can I help you?" Alan asked politely.

"Is this Charlie Harper's place?"

"Yes? You know him?"

"My name is Christine Harper, I'm his daughter."

Alan was shocked.

"Charlie!" He shouted.

Charlie walked to them.

"Why are you shouting?"

He then looked at Christine. She smiled.

"Alan, why is this little girl standing here with a goofy smile on her face?"

"Uh....she'll tell you."

Christine spoke up.

"My name is Christine Harper, I'm 16 years old, I'm your daughter."

Charlie just looked at her in shock.

"You're my kid?"

"Yep," she replied popping the p.

"Why don't you come in and we'll talk," Alan said.

They let her in.

"So, how did you find me, is what I wanna know?"

"You apparently hooked up with my mom 16 years ago. Does the name Tracy ring a bell?"

"I know a lot of Tracys in my lifetime."

"And made love," Alan butted in.

"And made love."

"Tracy Stevenson."

"Tracy Stevenson?"

Alan gasped.

"I remember her! You two went out around the time I started dating Judith but broke up before we got engaged. You remember?"

"Oh yeah, Tracy, the stoner I used to date. But she never told me she was pregnant I swear."

"I know, she told me before she died."

"She's dead?"

"I'm sorry to hear."

"That's why I came here. It said in her will that Charles Francis Harper and Alan Jerome Harper will share custody of me if she dies before I'm 18."

She handed Charlie the will she got from her little black backpack she classified as a purse. He read it.

"It's true, it's all true."
