Gerald version
As I seen my father out on my front door, I couldn't believe it. Years later you dare to show up. "Grandpa!" Suz yelled in excitement. She doesn't know the real reason of my father. And I look a lot like him. Dylan took the kids to the play room after Suz said. She's just a little girl, I understand she didn't know everything. "Can we please talk?" My father asked
"You and me have nothing to talk about." I drink the cup of wine to calm myself "you must of felt proud how my daughter called you. You shouldn't be here in ten first place."
"Gerald please. He's your father." Ma told. She didn't want the situation big. "Edward leave now. Haven't you done enough. What is this? Some way to say I'm back or some bullshit to prove you haven't done anything."
"No Suzanne let me talk." He begged. What don't you fucking understand?
"Get out of my fucking house! You have no right to be here! You think after years you fucking dare to show up!"
"Gerald calm down." Ma stops me. My anger was off the roof. "Leave now." He leaves. Ma closes the door "Gerald you can't be doing this in front of the kids. I know Suz did call him grandpa and that hurt you."
"Why is he here? What did he dared himself to come back?" I was crying of all the pain he has caused "I never seen him as my father. You're the only parent I have." Dylan walks out of the room. "Can I be with Dylan alone?" Ma leaves to take care of the kids. I hugged her as she came to the couch "why did he came back?"

After that I didn't remember anything just me waking up in the morning. Last night was the one night I will never forget.

Dylan version
Gerald was in a lot of pain. James came over and knew what happened. He couldn't believe it. Gerald doesn't want to talk about it but I know he's in a lot of pain. He doesn't blame our daughter Suz, he knows she barely understands the things around her.

Suzanne version
I know how Gerald and James feel about their father. Especially Gerald. He has pain in him that creates anger. Edward called me to meet up at the cafe. I respectfully said yes.

I was waiting at the table near the window. I seen Edward coming to the table. He doesn't say much as he walked towards me "thank you for accepting to talk to me and explain."
"I'm not doing it for myself. I'm doing for my two sons and for my grandchildren that I love deeply." I drink another sip of my tea "What in the world are you doing here? And why now after years. Your sons are adults who have their own families."
"Suzanne I just want to apologize for everything that I have done to you, James and Gerald."
"Don't tell that to me. You should say that to them. They need the explanation. And I learned in life you just have to move on and forget. I give you my forgiveness but I don't forget."
"I've seen Gerald has been known everywhere especially his wife. He's one lucky man." He chuckles.
"Because I raised him and James to be a man. An actual man that cares for his wife and kids."
"James got married and has kids?"
"Oh dear god. If you were different in the past and actually cared for your two sons you'll know more." I see James and Gerald waiting for me outside of the cafe "I should get going. My ride is here."
"That's it?"
"What do you want Edward? You apologize already I'm not taking you back anymore. I have everything that I have no thanks to my sons who cared for." I leave the café. I told James and Gerald everything but they didn't seemed to be thrilled with it.

Gerald version
I was outside of the house taking out the trash. Bliss was outside with me. Dylan was with me. "What are you thinking ger?"
"I have a lot in my mind."
"Is it about him?" She knows I'm hurting. "I'm sorry baby."
"It's fine. Just know I'm very different from him. I know I look like him we have different personalities. It's the same way as how Ashton and I look alike each other."
"I know baby." Then she sees him "he's coming here. I'll call security." I stopped her.
"You take bliss inside. Go inside and don't open it no matter what." She kisses me and talks bliss inside.

I see him talking with security. "You know it's not going to work as the last time." James came out of the house "James don't."
"I'm not leaving you here. I told Ma not to get out of the house but to stay with Dylan and the kids." We both walked up to security. "What do you need?" James asked him "why now?"
"Can we have a conversation please?" He asked us politely. We knew what will he say to us "James I'm sorry.l
"Now you want to apologize huh? Where were you all these years? Let me guess you have another family who you cared and was there for and now since they kicked your ass goodbye now you want us and our help. No we won't. How do you like the taste of your own medicine? Ma raised us by herself, she had three jobs to send us to school somehow. And where you? No where to be found when we needed you." James was done talking to him "I have nothing else to say to you."
"Gerald." I was just looking at him. "I'm sorry."
"Now you want to apologize to me. Now you do!? How could you do this to us?! We were just kids and you decided to leave us?!"
"You guys left when I came home."
"Because you hurt, lied and cheated on my mother you sick bastard?!" I yelled "don't you ever come back here and forget you ever had two sons and any grandchildren." I walked inside anger with tears. James followed me.

Dylan version
I seen Gerald walking inside the house pissed off. James came and closed the door. "What happened?"
"The same bullshit he wants to say. And he didn't answer us." James said "I'm going home."
"No, James stay please." Ma told him "Mia can't see you like this angry especially her with the pregnancy. Stay here and relax." He sits down.
"I'll go check on Gerald." I walked up stairs to our room. The door was locked "baby it's me Dylan. Please open the door."
"Dylan just leave me alone. I don't want to hurt you, just let me breath and think." I left downstairs. I gave privacy to Gerald.

James left after he calm down but Ma and I weren't going to say anything to Mia for her good. Ma said with us in case if anything happened. "I feel so bad for Gerald and James."
"They've been through a lot and to them it seems like their father doesn't understand how an apology doesn't fix everything that happened in the past. Maybe if they all heal they can have a good stable relationship."
"Yeah. This all affect to Gerald. He has been talking about it in therapy. I can't blame him. I had that same way with with my father but my ended differently."
"Can I asked you something?" I nod my head yes. I know what was she going to ask me "Did you ever forgive your father for the things he did to you?"
"Before he killed himself and threatened me and Gerald for our lives at that point he wasn't my father for doing those things to me. Especially killing my mother. Gerald and I were lucky to get out of there alive. My father was just a monster who enjoyed my pain of suffer."
"I'm sorry Dylan. I never knew you felt that way."
"Ma it's fine. I learned now that he did do those things to me and my mother it was better for me to forget. And I see Gerald be this different person with the kids. He's that father who he wished he had and how I wished I had. Yes we did had our shit in the past but that's all life. Not everything is butterflies and rainbows."
"Yeah you're right. Gerald lucky to have you in his life." We both smiled "well imma go to sleep in the guest room, if anything you need or Gerald need I'm here. Night Dylan." She hugs me
"Night Ma." We get up. Ma goes in the guest room and I was in the living room cleaning a bit before I went to bed.

I went to go check the kids. They were sleeping like angels. Gerald walks out of the room, he sees me. He hugs me. "Come with me. I'm sorry about earlier." I hugged him
"It's okay baby. I know you need some space." We walked in the room. He pulls me to the bed "let me change quick."
"No just come in bed I need you to cuddle and hug me. I feel safe around you."
"Okay." We get I bed. He hugs me then he falls asleep. "Ger. Wake up. You have to change out of your clothes." He doesn't wake up. I get up take off my shirt, shoes and jeans. I quickly put a sweat pants and a simple t shirt. I take off Gerald's jeans and shoes. I left the shirt on him.
"Don't leave me please babygirl." He begs me "I promise you I won't fuck up again."
"Baby, I promise you I'll never leave you. I'm so sorry you had to go through this.i won't let you go never. I'm always with you." I kissed him "I love you ger." He falls asleep
"I love you to Dylan." He cuddles me close to him. "I promise I'll be here."

I know it sucks his father had to come here like this and it hurts me how Gerald and my brother James have to deal with this. Ma and I are in the middle of this. I just hope everything clears up.
