Daddy's girl
Danny's POV.
"Just stop running, Danny! You're gonna have to face him sooner or later. This is for Jessica and your babies. Just face him... You can do this!"
Danny stops running and lifts his hands in the air as he drops to his knees.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"How could you do this?! She's my little girl! I liked you! I trusted you!"
"Mr. Lange, I know you're upset with me--"
"Upset? No, I'm past upset. Daniel, I should kick your ass!" He says walking towards him.
"No! Please don't kill me!" He closes his eyes and covers his head, like that's gonna save him.
"Stop it! I'm not gonna kill you!" He roughly grabs his hand and tosses it so its off of his head.
"I just want to talk to you."
"Alright.." Danny looks at him.
"So stand up!" He kicks him.
"Alright! Sorry!"
"Let's walk back to the house, we'll take my truck."
"Where are we going?"
"Driving."
Danny feared for his life as he sat in the passenger seat.
Suddenly Albert pulled into a preschool/kindergarten.
"Danny.. This is the school Jessica went to school when she was little."
"It is?" He looks out the window.
"Yeah. You know, the first day she went to school.. She cried and cried for us not to leave her... Seeing those big beautiful eyes staring straight at me, broke my heart. I wanted nothing more than to just keep her with me and not leave her there where I knew she would spent most of the day crying."
"So what did you do?"
"I hugged her.. I told her that everything was gonna be alright and that I loved her more than anything in the whole world... She looked into my eyes and said, "Daddy.. Will you promise to love me all the time.. Even if I mess up? I guess she thought she would mess up in school. Anyways, I looked at her and I said, Baby.. daddy will love you no matter what. No matter what? She asked me with her pouted lips and I said, No matter what! Daddy knows his sweet girl and knows that you will try your hardest. You're gonna have so much fun and make so many new friends. And you know what she said?"
"What was that, sir?"
"I make friends daddy, and I'll try to do my work.. But what if a boy likes me?"
Albert chuckles and looks down at the ground.
"I said, Jessie baby.. You are a beautiful beautiful girl and boys talking to you is something I'll have to get used to. She hugged me and gave me a kiss. Jessica and I have always been closer.. After school I would take her to the park and we'd stay there for hours. One time she fell on her bike and scraped her knee, she cried and cried until I bandaged her up,... She looked into my eyes and said, Thank you, daddy. Her little voice.. Her precious face.. It seems like just yesterday she was my little princess. If I could go back in time.. I would hold her in my arms and tell her to never got up. I understand that everyone has to grow up sometime.. I just never thought it'd be this soon. Once in the eighth grade she had a crush on this boy, but she was too shy to say anything. She asked me, Dad.. Do you think I'm pretty? I looked at her and said, Jessica, you are the most beautiful girl that God has ever created. No boy will ever be good enough for you. If you like someone, make sure they respect you and treat you like a young lady. She smiled and said, when I find someone, I want him to be special. I want him to treat me like a princess and to love more than anything. I want him to look at me and tell me he loves me even when I look a mess. I want him to hug me when I'm sad and be there for me when I need him... This is what I want, because my dad has shown me this my whole life. I deserve nothing less.
... Danny, when you look at her, I can see that you really do love her. I can see that she loves you too. You were the boy she was talking about.. The dream guy that she imagined in her mind... You were him. I knew in my heart that you were the one for my little girl.. I didn't think it would all plan out this way, but it has and we will make the best out of it. My Jessica means more to me than anything else in this world, and now all these thing are happening so fast.. She's having babies, she's with you... Things are changing so fast. I know you're a good guy and I want you to know that if you want to marry her.. You have my blessing."
"Wow.. Thank you so much, sir."
"Do you plan on marrying her?"
"Well I would love to marry Jessica, but she doesn't want to get married right now."
"She doesn't? Hm.. Well maybe it was too much with the shock of everything.. Give her some time."
"Mr. Lange, I want to apologize for everything. I want you to know that I will do my best to give your daughter the best life I can possibly give her. Jessica will never have to raise our babies alone, because I will be there by her side the whole time."
"I believe that, Danny. I really do."
"Good.."
"Oh and, don't tell anyone what I told you. If her siblings hear, they'll really think she's my favorite now!" He chuckles.
"Is she?" Danny laughs.
"Well, Danny.. You're gonna be a father soon, and you'll see that you can love your children in many different ways. It's not that she's my favorite, because I love all of my children equally.. It's just that Jessica and I have this strong bond. Besides, she's been the good one and she's never given me any trouble at all... That is until you've come into her life." He jokes.
"Yeah.. Sorry about that." Danny says with a nervous chuckle.

Meanwhile back at the house.
"Mom it's been too long, where are they? What if they're fighting?"
"Oh sweetie, I'm sure they're just talking! Don't worry about it."
"Mom.. *sighs* I feel bad."
"Why?"
"Because, I know dad's disappointed and that's the last thing I wanted to do."
"Sweetie, your daddy is not disappointed in you. You need to stop worrying about it, it's not good for those babies." She rubs her stomach.
"I know.." She looks down.
"Mom, what if I can't do it? What if I can't take the pain?"
"Oh honey, you'll be fine! It's a natural thing, and your body knows what to do."
"It's just scary to think that they have to come out." She chuckles and puts her hand on her stomach.
"I know that feeling and I know it's terrifying.. But all you can do is pray. Pray for comfort and put it all in God's hands."
"That's another thing, mom! How am I going to go to church?"
"Sweetie, they won't shun you! You're not going to hell because you're pregnant!" Dorothy laughs.
"I know, but I sinned!"
"Honey, everyone in the world sins. Your sins are no less or worse than anyone else's. Why don't you go take a nap? Your little mind is just running today!" She chuckles and taps her head.
"I know, I wish it'd stop." She chuckles.
Dorothy laughs and kisses her cheek, before Jessica goes to take a nap.

Jessica tried taking a nap, but was too worried about where Danny and her dad were.
They had been out for hours.
Suddenly they hear her dads truck pull up.
"They're back! Is Danny with him?!" She jumps up in a panic.
"Yeah, he's with him. Calm down, sweetie! I'm sure everything's fine!"
Jessica looks at Danny as they walk in.
"W-where did you go?" She asks.
"We went--" Danny says as Albert interrupts, "We went for a drive. We had a long talk, and that was it."
"Is everything okay? Are you mad?" Jessica asks her father.
"I'm not mad. I'm here to support the both of you... And to be... The best.. Grandfather I can be to my little grand babies." He chuckles.
"Awe, daddy!" She smiles then runs over to hug him.
He held her tight and never wanted to let go.
"You will always be my baby girl... No matter what."
"I love you, daddy!"
"I love you too, Princess."
