Knocked Up

Chapter 36

An hour and 45 minutes later, Quinn was sitting on the park bench, waiting for her father. Sure she was 15 minutes early, sue her, it's been over two years since she's last seen the man, she was nervous as fuck.

As Quinn waited for her father, a bunch of thoughts and questions ran through her head. The big question on her mind was why. Why did he leave in the first place? Why was he back all of sudden? And where had he been this whole time? Why hasn't he mentioned it in any of this his emails? So many questions and yet no answers. Hopefully with her father's visit, she'll get those answers.

Quinn was still thinking and nervously waiting when she heard a deep male voice coming from behind her.

"Quinn"

Everything stopped around Quinn at the sound of the familiar voice. Quinn slowly turns around. Standing a few feet away from her was a tall older blonde man in a pair of khaki pants, a green and white striped polo shirt and a pair of old green and white nikes.

"Dad" Quinn whimpers.

"Hey. How you been, kiddo?" Russell Fabray said

"Daddy" Quinn still couldn't believe that he was actually standing in front of her.

"Yea, it's me" He said with a tearful smile. He stretches his arms to hug Quinn.

Quinn was frozen. At first she didn't know if what she was seeing was real or not, so she slowly, but tentatively approached him. She still couldn't believe that he was really here. She didn't know what do, but once she felt his arms wrap around her, she knew it was real and that he was really there. She buried her face in his chest, cling to his shirt and finally let the tears fall. He was back. Her father was back. She finally had him back, and she was never letting him go. Ever again.

The two stood there for a while, getting reacquainted with the feeling of being in each others arms. After what seemed like hours but was mere minutes, the two separated. Russell smiled down at Quinn and uses his thumb to wipe away the tears from her face.

"Hi" Russell says. Quinn lets out a tearful chuckle.

"Hi" she said back.

"My god. Look at you. You've grown so much. And still as beautiful as ever. God, I've missed you so much." Russell pulls Quinn in for another hug.

"I miss you too, dad." Quinn whispers into her father's shoulder.

Russell lets out a happy sigh before letting Quinn out of the embrace. He looks around and notices something.

"Where's your sister?"

"Oh uh she didn't come." When she saw the hurt look on her father's face she quickly added. "She thought it would be best if just you and I talked. But she can't wait to see you when we get back home." Quinn says with a smile.

"Oh, good. That's...that's good. I'm really glad you came." Russell says. "So how's it been, kiddo?"

"It's um...it's been good I guess...But really dad. I'm sorry I'm really happy you're here, but what's all this about?"

"Quinn..."

"No dad, I don't see or-or hear from you, besides emails, for over two years, then you just suddenly out of nowhere want to meet up and-and talk." A pause. "Are you sick or something? You're not dying are you?"

"What? No. No Quinn I am in perfect health. Wow, since when did you get so dramatic." He jokes

"Then why are you here?" Quinn crosses her arms over her chest.

"Is it so hard to believe that I wanted just to come and see my daughters?" Russell says

"Well considering that it's been two years since you've seen us, yea. It's a little sketchy."
