Dick's P.O.V
I find H, looking so nervous.
She sighs. "Well, it's finally here. It's Father's Day." Her voice softens. "I don't know what to make of it, to be honest. I meant to write another song for him but..." She looks down. "I don't know."
I smile. "I'm sure he'll be O.K with that."
She nods then looks up at me. "Guess I'll just have to use a song that isn't mine." She grabs her guitar. "Is it O.K if it's just me, him and you? It's not that I have anything against Kaylee* or Babs. I just want...Well, you know."
My smile widens. "I understand."
She nods again. "Good."
We head to Metropolis. On our way there, I notice H rubbing her locket while singing On My Father's Wings. I know that song means so much to her. As for her guitar, it, with her pick, is on her lap.
When we get there , she looks at me. "Thanks for agreeing to this, by the way."
I tousle her hair. "You really should know it's not a problem."
She fixes her hair then smiles. "Yeah, I know. I've got a good memory, remember? I think I need a minute." She closes her eyes and I hear her sing ever so softly. "Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind Heaven got a little better the day it took you away from me I'm missing you tonight I'll see you again sometime For now I'll close my eyes and dream of heaven tonight**" She opens her eyes then looks at me. "I think I know what to say now."
She clears her throat then starts playing and singing lyrics that I know are spur-of-the-moment.
"Hi Dad
It's your day
I'm here and O.K
Because I know that you're with me
Even though I can not see you I still feel you there
Because you're my Dad and you've always cared
But I want you to do something right now
Listen to your flower sing to you
Watch her play guitar like you taught her to
She knows that she's still your little girl
And that fact rocks her world"
She starts a guitar solo.
"Father and daughter here together
Now and forever
In any weather
Hey!
Little girl and her Dad still there for each other
Plus she has new family and a brother
Not to mention the love of her Mother
Hey!"
She's grinning. "You like that song?"
I can't help but grin too. "Yeah, I bet he did. I liked it."
She gives me a noogie. "Good. And to think I was dreading Father's Day."
I reach over to tousle her hair but she stops me. "Don't tousle my hair, silly."
She bugs her eyes out at me. "Silly Dick. Tricks are for kids!" She runs off laughing.
I roll my eyes then start chasing her.
"You can't catch me! My Dad's watching!"
Yes, he is always going to watching his flower. But that's not going to stop her big brother from chasing her.
