    ⚠️ WARNING LONG CHAPTER ⚠️

Kayla paused for a moment when she walked back into her house. She had only been gone for a little over a week, but it felt like months with all that had happened.

She looked around the large empty house and immediately felt guilty. Her father who had watched over and protected her, was all alone in this house. Sure, Khris was there, but it wasn't the same.

She remembered her father and Michael's laughs coming from his study, no doubt due to some dirty joke Michael had told her dad. Or how when her father was explaining something to him, Michael would always give him his complete undivided attention, no matter if it was a serious game plan for a mission or perfect temperature for cooking a steak. Michael was like a sponge when it came to her dad.

God, Kayla felt so guilty. Michael would never admit it, but she knew this was hurting him. And her father wasn't the most emotional man, but she knew it was painful for him as well. She wished she could get them to sit down and talk. But right now, she had to suck it up, and talk to her father first.

The house seemed empty, but she knew her father was there. She had seen his car in the driveway.

She walked through the kitchen and looked out onto the deck. Her father was sitting in a lawn chair reading a book. He was always reading. Her earliest memories were of her father leaning over his large desk, eyes plastered to a thick book, making notes in the margin with a pencil. She would interrupt him, dragging in her elementary school books for him to read to her. He would pick her up and read a few pages and make silly voices to accompany the book.

Kayla would giggle and clap her hands and want him to read more. She and her father never really talked much, but she knew he was always there in her corner and always have a listening ear or a shoulder for her to cry on. She started thinking about her mother Sasha also. She really didn't know much about her. Kayla had been so young when she left.

She remembered her father and mother arguing all the time. It was just bits and pieces of memory that she glued together over the years to make sense of their relationship. Only thing she knew was only what the Admiral told her, all Kayla knew was her mother Sasha and father Troy meet in 1994 when Sasha was around her age they fall madly in love with each other and after two years of dating they were married in 1996 and two years later in 1998 they were blessed with her and that she looked a lot like her mom, which she was sure pained her father even more.

Kayla walked out into the backyard.

"Hi daddy," she quietly said, as she approached him.

Troy looked up from his book and smiled. He was happy to see her.

"Hey darling, how have you been?" he asked, while standing to hug her.

She hugged him back. She had missed his hugs. "I'm good, how are you?"

"I'm alright."

The both of them sat down, and stared out into the backyard. The same beautiful backyard Michael helped create one summer.

"Daddy?"

"Yes, baby?" Troy said, while deep in thought.

"I, I just wanted to tell you I'm so sorry about everything that has happened. I'm sorry I blamed you, and I'm sorry that I caused all of this," she said, as she begun to tear up.

The Admiral reached over and embraced his daughter. "Kayla, I'm sorry all of this happened too. Are you okay?"

Kayla nodded her head into her father's chest. "Yes, I'm okay. I just want to make sure you are," she said in a small voice.

"I can't lie Kayla. I don't like the two of you together. It's just so hard for me to wrap my head around it."

"I know daddy, but I'm 18 now, and he loves me. He's so wonderful."

The Admiral was quiet for a moment. His daughter really did look so happy. But he wasn't convinced just yet. He didn't want to upset her, but he had to get it off his chest.

"He's wonderful, huh? Kayla, in two short months, Michael has managed to steal you right from under me, get arrested for disturbing the peace, bust our door down, break an SP Officer's car window, steal you from the dance--a dance that he had brought another woman to, get caught up in some sick scheme with Chase about rape, and have the cops called again for threatening to kill someone."

"The rape thing was not his fault," Kayla interjected.

"Even still, that's a lot for me to take in, and you have to understand he has you. My only child. My daughter who is barely legal, living with him now," Troy stated, getting upset.

"Daddy, I chose to live with him! And I don't understand you," she said, getting emotional again. "Since you met him all those years ago, all I ever heard was 'Michael this, and Michael that' from you. You made him seem like the son you never had. You trusted him and made me think he was the most special person. And I believed you."

Troy looked away from his daughter. He knew she was right about that.

"And you may not want to hear this, but Michael never came on to me. It was always me wanting him. Trying to seduce him, and--"

"You're right, I don't want to hear this, so let's just drop it," Troy said, interrupting her. He stood and walked toward the house. He opened the door, and waited for her to follow.

Kayla slowly got up and followed her father into the house. She knew she hadn't changed his mind, but maybe in time, he and Michael could be in the same room without hating each other.
