The Kissing Booth Why Now?

67. REUNION 2 *

They both nodded and I smiled "Ten years ago you two lost an important part of your lives.  She was the apple of your eye and you two would not have changed anything when she came into your lives.  The only regret you had was whether or not you could have done something different that day your lives changed.  When your daughter was taken from you your lives ended.  You couldn't take the pain and constant reminder of her the three years you stayed in Baton Rouge after she was kidnapped."  The gasps in the crowd resounded through the field.  "You moved to L.A. and took the job as head coach for the girl's soccer team and gym coach at Buckner High School.  You looked to the girls on your team as daughters and made sure we were safe.  Those first two years here we were not privileged enough to know you."

I turn to the team and wave my arm at the girls on stage with me.  "The only reason we didn't know you, was that we were all attending Buckner Middle School and of course playing soccer.  Once we arrived on campus we became close, and one day you told us about your daughter you explained where she was or more accurately that she was no longer with you.  Coach you also told us about the kind of person she was and that you saw her in me.  I was so proud that I reminded you of your daughter but saddened as well.  I started imagining that one day if I could I would make your dreams come true.  Well...we found her.  Rebecca please come out and say hi to your parents."

Rebecca popped out and waved at her parents causing them to gasp.  I watched as the tears were falling from their faces.  Coach looked at me and I nodded "I promise it is really her."  That was all it took before he was off the stage running to her.  He scooped her up in his arms and we could hear him since we wired Becs.  "Oh, my sweet baby girl.  I have missed you, princess."  "I missed you too papa bear."  When Becs words hit Mrs. Lawson she looked at me "I swear it's her.  I would never have done this if it wasn't."   As if he knew she had her doubts Coach picked up Becs causing her to giggle and Mrs. Lawson to cry harder and choke out "My Scraps."  She started to fall to her knees as we surrounded her catching her so she didn't hurt herself.  "Evans, is it really her?"  I smile and nod my head "Yes, it really is her."  Right, when I finished Coach placed Becs down "Sweetheart it really is our girl."  Mrs. Lawson looks at Becs while Becs looks down "Mabo it's me your Scraps."  That was all it took before Mrs. Lawson launched herself at Becs.  "Oh, my little scraps.  I have missed you so much."  

We all watched them as they clung to each other and I stepped back letting them have their moment.  I looked around and everyone had tears in their eyes and all I could think about was that finally the Lawson's had a happy ending.  Once the hugs were finished Coach looked at me and pulled me into his arms "thank you, Evans."  "I wasn't the only one involved Coach."  "Who helped reunite us with our princess?"  "Later Coach we can meet at my diner.  Becs knows where it is."  He shook his head "so, do I, Evans.  Wait, how does my princess know where your diner is located?"  I smile at him "we will explain everything there Coach."  He nodded his head and let the student body and staff congratulate him and meet Becs.    "We did it, Twin."  "That we did Lee."  He pulled me into his right side with Patrice on his left.  "You girls know now I now have eight women."  I snort "oh, really twin."  "Yeah."  Patrice shakes her head "who?" "well, you babe, my twin, Lois, Becs, Martha, Lilly, Mary, and my mom."  I look at Patrice "we will wait till his eight so-called women are together and get him then."

Lee groans "great.  Just great."  We hear giggling next to us "what did you do Lee."  He turns and right next to me is Becs.  "I said I now have eight women."  Becs snorts "oh, really and who are they?"  He proceeds to tell Becs who his women are and next, we hear "not a chance buddy Lois is all mine."  We all laugh as Carl pulls Lois in closer snuggling into her neck.  I saw Sean looking at Becs and shake his head.  I nudge Lee and stare into his eyes and he glances at Sean and rolled his eyes.  He smirked leaned in and whispered, "you called it."  "I know look how she is watching him."  I smile bigger "hey Sean we are all going out to eat at the diner you want to come."  Becs looks at me and smiles "sounds like fun Evans, but are you sure I am invited."  I look at Becs and she stares at me and I can tell she is begging me to let him know he is definitely invited."  "Yes, dude your invited."
