Hey! I know it has been a while but I've been really busy, sorry. Anyways, I've decided to try a sequel to "I'll be there" and see if you guys like it. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ "I'LL BE THERE" DO NOT READ THIS! If you haven't read my first fanfic then this one will make absolutely no sense. Thanks!
"It's been six months." Sam sighed, smiling slightly. "six months since we became a family, six months since… you know."
Sam looked around the table at his friends and family. He and Jules had invited team one and their families to join them for dinner.
"So here's to us." Sam held out his glass.
"To us." Everyone repeated, tapping their glasses together.
"Sam, Jules, have you found child care for when you're at work yet?" Shelly, Wordy's wife, asked in an attempt to start a conversation.
Jules shrugged, "We can't exactly afford it, you know? Plus, that's a year away. We've decided that taylor will start kindergarten a year late."
"Can I start tenth grade a year late?" James asked hopfully, looking up at his parents.
"Keep dreaming." Sam chuckled as James dropped his head and pouted.
"Well, if you ever need help, we are here." Shelly assured her. Jules smiled in thanks.
"All of us are." Sophie, Ed's wife, agreed.
"So have you heard from… him yet?" Spike asked timidly.
Sam frowned and looked at Taylor who looked down. "No… not lately."
"Daddy?" Taylor said quietly, staring at her full plate.
"Yeah?" Sam looked at her, searching for those baby blues he loved.
"Can I be done?" She didn't look at him; instead she poked at her food.
"Taylor, sweetheart, you haven't eaten anything." Jules' eyebrows knit together in concern.
"Not hungry…" The four year old mumbled quietly. She looked from Jules to Sam then to James before getting up and running out of the room, her footsteps heard as they thumped up the stairs lightly.
Sam stood with a frown plastered onto his face. Jules began to stand but he stopped her,
"I'll get her, its fine."
With a grimace jules sat down again and smiled at her guests,
"I'm sorry… We just- just…" Jules began to choke on her tears. They all knew something was up. Taylor wouldn't just run out of the room, she was the most social person any of them had ever met. They all nodded in understanding and spoke comforting words to her but that didn't help ease the worry at all.
Sam followed his daughter up the stairs and made his way to her room. Quietly pushing the door open he saw her sitting on the floor sobbing.
"Taylor, baby, what's wrong?" He whispered as he sat down next to her. He engulfed her into a giant bear hug and cooed her.
"I- I- I-" She stammered between sobs. She clung tightly to her father's black nylon shirt. Sam rocked her back and forth whispering reassurances in her ear.
"It's okay. I've got you. I'm here… Daddy's here." He promised. Upon feeling the newly wet spot on his shirt he only held her tighter. "Come on, baby, what's wrong."
Taylor sniffled again before breaking down into more tears as she blubbered on,
"D- Da- Daddy!"
"Its okay, Princess, you can tell me." He swayed back and forth again.
"He's back, Daddy." She whispered, looking up at him with glassy eyes. "Uncle Kevin is back."
Yeah so please review and tell me what you think! Sorry if it's bad. I kinda lost my vibe. I'm not sure if i'm going to continue but yeah. Review! Thanks! :)
