Chapter 18: Best Summer Ever and a Surprise That Will Change a Life
Introducing: Jesse Spencer as Matt Casey
Bella's Pov.
Summer is finally here which means, TEEN WOLF MEET AND GREET AHHHHHH!!!! On the second week of June we flew to Chicago since the event was going to be around the area we are staying in the heart of downtown Chicago at a Hilton, which Sebastian payed for by the way, and the event was going to be on Saturday so we flew to Chicago on Wednesday and have the time of our lives. One day we decided to go sight seeing and we stopped at Firehouse 51 to finally meet my dad and low and behold he is on the apparatus floor with his truck company.
Mom: You ready for this baby girl?
Bella: As ready as I'll ever be.
Mom: Alright; you two stay behind for right now, I'll walk up to him and ask to see if we can talk in private if he says yes follow us.
Bella and Sebastian: Alright.
Sylvie's POV.
To be honest I am a little nervous since I haven't seen him in years I'm hoping that he will recognize me. I see Sebastian holding Bella's hand trying to calm her nerves. I walked up to him and this is basically how it went.
???: Hey Lieutenant are you meeting with someone today?
Matt Casey: No; why do you as...k? <He froze as he turned around to see someone he hasn't seen in years>
Sylvie: Hi Matt. <She said nervously>
Matt: Hi Sylvie; How have you been feels like we haven't seen each other in forever.
Sylvie: I've been good and yeah it has felt like forever actually; is there somewhere where we can talk in private?
Matt: Yeah sure give me one second. <He turned to his truck company to give them a command> Herrmann take over for me for right now and finish the drill then after fifteen minutes if I am still not out yet check your air bottles and make sure they are topped off if not change them out. <He turned back to Sylvie> Alright follow me.
Bella's Pov.
When me and Sebastian saw my mom start walking inside the Firehouse she gave us the signal to go also and we did and they went into what I am assuming is there conference room to talk while me and Sebastian waited til my mom told me to go inside. While waiting for my mom someone came up to see if we were okay.
???: Hi; uhm can I help you with something?
Bella: No thank you we are all good we are just waiting for my mom she's talking to one of her friends.
???: Oh okay; well if you need anything don't hesitate to ask.
Bella and Sebastian: Thank you.
Sylvie's Pov.
Matt: So Sylvie; what did you want to talk about in private?
Sylvie: Alright so you remember that time we met in Las Vegas and we got super drunk and did a Vegas wedding and then one thing led to another and we both ended up in bed and you asked me to come back to Chicago with you?
Matt: Hahaha how could I not to be honest it was one of the best moments of my life.
Sylvie: Yeah it was for me also. That week when I left Chicago and move back home to live my life I found out that I was pregnant with your child and about 8 months after I found out that I was pregnant I was blessed with a beautiful healthy baby girl and she is here right now if you want to meet her. I know that you have your life here in Chicago and we live in Ohio but we can try and figure something out that will allow you to see your daughter.
Matt: Oh wow this is amazing I have a daughter but I just have one question; how come you never told me that you were pregnant and had a baby I would have either flown or driven down to Ohio to see you?
Sylvie: I would have called you but I kinda figured that you would move on to another woman and then forget about me like I was nothing but a summer fling.
Matt: Sylvie you were never just a summer fling to me I just figured that you were homesick and wanted to go back home but you should have called I could have been there for you and the baby.
Sylvie: I know and I realized that I made a mistake by not calling you but I am giving you the opportunity to introduce you to our daughter and like I said we can figure something out so that the two of you can spend some time getting to know each other.
Matt: Yeah that would be amazing. Can I see her now and get to know her?
Sylvie: Yeah let me tell her to come in and she's known that you are her dad since January so she is excited to meet you.
I got up and opened the door to tell her and Sebastian to come in.
Bella's Pov.
When my mom told us to come in I saw my real dad. As I saw him a million thoughts were rushing in my head but, when he saw me he instantly pulled me into his arms and for the first time it felt like I was really home like I am with Sebastian. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my mom almost burst into tears and Sebastian giving me a small smile.
Dad (Matt): Sorry it's just that you look so beautiful just like your mom.
Bella: Thank you although I do have your eyes.
Dad: True. Who's the other kid?
Bella: Oh this is Sebastian Smythe, my boyfriend.
Dad: Wow; uhm nice to meet you Sebastian.
Sebastian: Nice to meet you too sir.
Dad: How long have you two been together?
Bella: We met at a Cafe in August, he helped me out with a few glee performances until one night he gave me my first kiss, and he officially asked me to be his girlfriend the first week of September.
Dad: Glee?
Bella: It's a show choir group that both me and Sebastian are a part of for different schools and we go to compete to be grand champions at Nationals.
Dad: Oh so you two can sing?
Bella: Yes we can. How about we make a deal you and I will talk a little bit about each other and then afterwards me and Sebastian can sing for you; how does that sound?
Dad: Sounds good as long as the bells don't go off, alright how about you start Bella?
Bella: Alright well my name is Isabella Brett, I just turned 15 last month, I am going in to my Sophomore year in August, also apart of the McKinley High School New Directions, I play the electric guitar, when I grow up I want to move to Chicago and become a detective, and I love 80s and 90s music and movies.
Dad: <Claps his hands when I mention the last details about me> I knew I loved you when you first walked in. Well I guess it's my turn. My name is Matt Casey, I am a Firefighter along with being Lieutenant of Truck 81, I did have a fiancé but she died in a fire a few years ago, currently single, also love the 80s and 90s as well, and that's about it.
Bella: Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for your loss.
Dad: Thank you sweetie it means a lot.
Bella: No problem. Alright so as promised me and Sebastian are going to sing of you. Any particular song you want to hear?
Dad: Surprise me.
Bella: Alright.
Dad: Alright I can't wait. <While me and Sebastian were deciding on which song to sing there was a knock on the door and dad allowed the person to come in>
???: Sorry to interrupt Casey but Chief is looking for you.
Dad: Alright thanks Severide. I'll be right back in a few minutes.
Bella: No problem we'll be waiting.
Dad: Alright uhm help yourselves to anything to drink or eat in the kitchen.
Everyone: Thank you.
So when my dad left to go talk to his boss, me and Sebastian chose the perfect song to sing. After about ten minutes he came back with a smile on his face.
Dad: Sorry about that Lieutenant stuff. Hope you don't mind if I leave the door slightly open it's a little hot in here. Alright did you finally decide which song you want to sing.
Bella: Yes we do so sit back and hope you enjoy this.
Dad: I'm sure I will.
Bella: Alright, ready?
Sebastian: Ready.
So me and Sebastian stood in the front of the room and my mom started the audio to the song.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Bold = Sebastian Italics = Bella Bold Italics = Both
I got my first real six string
Bought it at he five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
<I held up my ring finger where I had my promise ring>
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
<Sebastian points at me>
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
<Sebastian grabs Bella's hand, twirls her around, dips her, and brings her back up>
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh
Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing could last forever
Forever, no
Yeah
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
We finished off the song and my dad was in shock but unknown to any of us that we attracted a crowd outside of the briefing room until we heard clapping coming from outside the door with the door fully open.
???: That was amazing; I have not heard that song in a long time and yet that was the best version I've heard besides the original.
Bella: Oh uhm; thank you.
Dad: <Looks at me and my mom for permission to tell his coworkers/friends and they nod in confirmation> Everyone this is my daughter Isabella, her mom Sylvie and her boyfriend Sebastian; guys this is Firehouse 51. <The Firehouse looked surprised when my dad introduced me as his daughter>
Bella: Hi; it's nice to meet you all. <I gave a shy wave and a small smile>
They all gave my dad a handshake or a hug. After a while of talking; we left to head back to the hotel and made plans to meet up for dinner when he gets off shift and before we leave.
The next day was the 'Teen Wolf' meet and greet and it was a blast. I got to meet Dylan O' Brian and Tyler Posey, Sebastian got to meet Crystal Reed, and my mom got to meet Tyler Hoechlin. After the meet and greet; my dad said he has a surprise for me and to meet him at an address. Once we got to the address, we ended up at the 21st district of the CPD; where the Intelligence Unit works out of. Turns out he pulled a few strings and got me to meet, talk, and take a picture with the unit and it was a dream come true. After meeting the Intelligence Unit, he took us out to eat and we got to know each other better.
Time Skip
July had rolled around and we knew we only have a short time until the school year starts up again. This has been the best summer ever and I officially have the best dad in the world.
