》Mia《

We were getting ready for the roll call (the official end of the training)

I had no idea if my dad was coming... On the one hand, he loved me, on the other hand, he avoided the media as much as possible

As I finished putting on my gala uniform, Susan put her arms around me, standing behind me

- I love you

- I love you too...

》Michael《

I wanted to surprise Mia, so I came to her roll call alone. Even without the bodyguards, whom I dismissed, that I was in no danger on the military grounds...

》Mia《

When I saw my dad during the roll-call, I wanted to drop everything and run to him, but I also wanted to pass this training without a mishap

In the end, they allowed us to meet with our families... I grabbed Susan's hand and we ran to Dad. I threw myself on his neck

- I missed you, Dad

- I missed you too, but I didn't want you to give up your training

I stood on the ground

- Dad, this is Susan Ivanov... my girlfriend.

- Why are you both making faces, like I'm going to do something to you for this? It's important that you're happy...

- Thank you, dad... - I hugged him again

》Michael《

I asked some of the more important military men if I could take Mia and Susan home

- Yes. No problem... We do not want to promote women's military service at this time. - they reply

I took my daughter and her girlfriend to Neverland

- I really thank you, sir, for letting me live here... - Susan stated

- No problem. For me, it's important that Mia finds the love of her life. I'm not worried about who it will be... I've talked to her about it many times.

Alishia entered the building from the garden

Mia ran over to her and snuggled up to her...

Alishia and I have long since grown accustomed to the fact that Mia almost never calls Alishia mother

- Where's Abi? - Mia asked

- In your room. She'd been asking for a few weeks when you'd be back..- Alishia replied

Mia ran to Abi's room...

》Mia《

- Hi Abi - I said as I peeked into my sister's room

- Mia! - She threw herself on my neck - I've missed you

- I 've missed you too...

- Why did you join the army?

- I wanted to be independent... and to make my dad less worried about my safety...

- Is Dad back too?

- Yes... just be careful, 'cause Susan and mine bags are downstairs

- Who is Susan?

- My Girlfriend

- Okay... I'm going to see dad. He promised that when he came back, he would take me shopping

- Okay.

Dad went shopping with Abi and Alishia, and Susan and I stayed at Neverland with only Dad's bodyguards

- Come on, I'll show you our bedroom

- Our?

- Yes. I mean, so far, mine...

- Okay...

We took our bags and went to, from now, our bedroom...

- I envy you... I had to grow up practically without my father, because he was always gone, and my mother invited lovers to her house... One of them molested me

- One of my dad's lover wanted to kill me when I was little...

- Seriously?

- Yes... But dad saved me.

- Does your dad have lovers?

- He had. After my biological mother died, he dated various women, but it wasn't until Alishia that he got it... Do you want to talk about what your mother's lover did to you?

- Yes... I haven't told anyone, but you'll probably understand... One of my mother's lovers spent the night at our place... I was... about 15 years old... He used to come at night when my mother was on duty in hospitals... He touched me and threatened me that if I spoke out, he would murder me...

- Don't cry... - I hugged her

- I'll tell you something, but don't tell anyone...

- No problem...

- After one of the hurricanes, my mother was on duty for almost a week without a break and slept in the hospital... Her lover took advantage of this and... He tied me to the bed and raped me... but not by himself... He used a sex toy... To this day, my mother doesn't know and is still with him...

- I'm sorry I asked

- Don't apologize. I feel better when I've spilled the beans.

- You're safe here...

- Can I ask you something?

- Go ahead

- What actually happened? How did your dad's lover want to kill you?

- She came to my room with a syringe and wanted to inject me with something. I was afraid of needles at the time and I think that saved me... I fled to a corner... Suddenly, she said something about how it was just going to hurt and I was going to sleep... I got scared and started calling my dad... He pulled her away and saved me...

- You have a comfortable bed

- Wiem... teraz jest tez twoje.

- Are you in the mood for some tenderness?

- All in all... We had to hide in the bathroom for 9 weeks... yes.

Susan drank into my mouth...

Our kiss ended passionately.

***

- And you know what's the best part?

- What?

- That we have no chance of slipping up.

- Actually, I like children...

- I'm not saying we shouldn't have them, just that we won't have a slip-up.

- It would be hard...

- Oh yes... Heavily... Hey, if we decided to have a child, would you rather adopt or have a biological one? And if biological, which of us would be pregnant? I don't care

- Rather biological... I'm afraid of getting pregnant.... But I'm also afraid that if you get pregnant, the media will make up that it's dad's baby...

- I honestly don't care. Don't let them get into our beds... Who among your dad's siblings has the oldest son?

- Eee... I think it's Uncle Erms, but I'm not sure... A lot of us are about the same age... What are you planning?

- Talk to one of your cousins who's about our age... Maybe he'll agree...

- But for what?

- What were we talking about a while ago?

- A... But how do you want to do that?

- I'm so sorry, but did you only sleep with girls?

- Well, imagine that it's just you.

- Seriously?

- Yes...

- Honestly, so am I... Maybe except for that situation with my mother's lover.

- You know what, it's rude that she didn't even come to the end of the training...

- I know, but she disowned me a long time ago

- He'll get back to you when the media catches on our relationship

- Probably... At least your dad accepts us...

- Dad was friends with Uncle Freddie, so he had accepted other orientations for a long time...

- Do you think your sister will also be of a different orientation?

- I do not know... She's still a baby, but then again, she's known for a long time that I'm dating girls...

- Does the whole family accept you, or does anyone have a problem?

- Dad's father said that sooner than he would accept me, it would kill me... and Dad's sister LaToya doesn't accept me... the rest have no problem...

- Wow... Only my mother's sister accepts me... But she's a lesbian.

- I'll always accept you...

- Okay... It's time to get dressed before we get caught

- Everyone here knows I'm bi.

- Could you cut my hair short?

- Dad will do it better... Wait for him to come back.

- How do you know? Not that I don't believe it, but how do you know?

- My dad was a substitute for both my parents for 7 years, so he often took care of my hair, cut my hair...

- Do you want to say that you have such beautiful hair because your dad takes care of it?

- Yes... I guess he just likes it...

(A few hours later)

Dad, Alishia and Abi came back home...

- Dad - I walked up to them - Susan and I have a request for you.

- What's up?

- Su would like to cut her hair short

- Ok. Do you want to too?

- Half-heartedly... I'll explain to you later

- Okay... lead Susan to the bathroom off my bedroom. I'll be right there

- Okay

***

When Dad came to the bathroom, he caught us kissing

- Don't be so afraid... I don't bite... Okay Susan... How do you want to cut your hair?

- Do you know David Bowie's hairstyle in '85?, sir

- Yes. And please... don't call me sir... Michael. Just Michael.

- I don't know if I should... I'm with Mia, so I shouldn't...

- I'm going to ask you one theoretical question. If you had a husband, how would you address his father?

- Rather "Dad"

- You have the answer how to address me

- Truly? Seriously?

- And how else?

- I do not know

***

Dad did Susan's haircut.

- Okay. Mia, what do you want?

I tied up the top half of my hair

- Leave the bound part, cut the rest short .

- Okay...

***

Dad finished my haircut

- Thanks Dad

- My little daughter has grown up...

- I'm 17 years old dad... And you keep treating me like I'm 7...

- Your age is changing. The fact that you are my daughter is not. I love you.

- I know. I love you too Dad

- My mom recently told me she loved me when I was in kindergarten - Susan stated

- I'll comfort you. Joseph never told me that... - dad said

- But at least you have a mother who loves you

- I know...
