From Day to Day
Chapter One: Kindergarten
"Okay, settle down, now," Miss Kay instructed, "Do you know what today is? Today's Mother's Day! So, we'll be making Mother's Day cards for all the wonderful mommies you have at home! Now, take out your crayons and I'll be handing out pieces of construction paper for everyone."
The class, of course, was enthusiastic. It's not everyday that you got to take a break from learning your ABC's and 123's. However, one little girl was just a bit confused.
"Um…Miss Kay? Miss Kay! I have a question…" the girl asked.
"Yes, Ally? What would you like?" the kind, young lady asked.
"Um, what if you don't have a Mommy? Can I still make a card?"
At this, Miss Kay couldn't help but wince slightly and give Ally an apologetic smile.
"Oh, come here, dear, it's alright," Miss Kay said as she gave the small, innocent girl a big hug.
Of course, said girl had no idea why she was getting a hug, but she decided she liked not having a Mommy in the first place.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Miss Kay sighed; she couldn't help but feel sorry for the small girl. After all, losing a mother at such a young age could be such a traumatizing event. At least she had a loving father. Who, by the way, seemed to be running a little late today; half an hour, actually.
The small girl standing beside her was very, very cute, in her opinion. She always smiled, always laughed, and would seldom cry. But maybe it was all a façade, maybe it was just a mask she would use so people wouldn't see the pain and loneliness at the loss of a mother. If this was true, then Allison Havoc was truly one of the best actors she had ever seen.
A man came running up to the entrance of the school. He had blonde, spikey hair, was rather tall, and looked rather overjoyed.
"Hey, kiddo'! How's my little girl doing?" he had cried as he scooped her up into his arms.
"Hi Dad!" Ally giggled.
"Excuse me, sir, but who are you?" Miss Kay couldn't help but asking.
"Er, well, I'm her dad," he had responded.
"No, sir, you are not. Mr. Fuery is her father, and I've met him before. Release that child at once," she had said. Kidnappers these days, they seemed to be getting dumber and dumber.
"Er, no, I really am her dad. Trust me. It's hard to explain," the tall man reasoned.
"I'm warning you, sir, release that child or I will call security."
"No, really, I'm serious!"
"You leave me with no choice."
A few security guards had come out of the school building by then. They had already started to make their advance.
"Look, lady, I'm her dad, got it?! Woah, hold up there, buddy!" Havoc cried.
Footsteps. Coming fast and pounding hard upon the cement. Havoc didn't like that sound. It meant that Fuery was angry at him. For what, Havoc couldn't know. Take out the trash? Got it. Do the dishes? Er, well, he was pretty sure that stain on Fuery's favorite mug would never go away. Get through the day without being shot at by Hawkeye? Uh, well, maybe he would let that one slide…And there he was, Cain Fuery, in all his small, innocent, yet oh-so-very deadly anger.
"Er…hi, uh, Cain…" Havoc had said cautiously.
"Jean, where is our daughter?" the small man asked calmly.
Calm. That was never a good sign. It usually meant no sex for him that night.
"Er, well, she's right here. Sleeping, actually," he said, indicating the sleeping girl in his arms.
"Oh, I see, sleeping. So, why exactly did it take an hour and forty-two minutes to pick her up from school?! She only goes to school about three blocks away from our house. Well?!"
"Uh, well, ya' see, there was this lady, and she, well…" Havoc trailed off.
Miss Kay was staring, now. Did Mr. Fuery just say our? Hold on. Wait a minute.
"So that's what she meant when she said 'What if you don't have a mommy?'" Miss Kay mumbled to herself.
"Er, well, Miss, now that that's all cleared up, we'll be leaving now," Havoc said.
"Right, right, see you all tomorrow."
"Er, yeah, you, too, Miss, uh, Kay, was it?" Havoc replied as he ran very, very fast
"Jean! You still never answered my question! Get back here, damn it!"
Miss Kay turned around a little dazed. Huh, funny how the world worked. Her sister was right, all the good ones are gay.
"Should've seen it coming."
Well, that's it for Chapter One, read and review please.
