ONE DAY
I got inspiration for this fanfic when I was watching Message In a Bottle. Hope you all like it. :) As usual E:FC and its characters do not belong to me.

"It's amazing I got out of there in one piece."
I expected you to say something - comment on my innate habit to be in the right place at the wrong time. I thought I knew you. I was wrong.

"Yeah, amazing."
That was what you said and nothing more. Those two words broke my heart. I was hurt. You weren't even looking at me when you said that. You were distracted. How could you? You never questioned the validity of my words, like you always do. Father, I could never call you that. If you couldn't be my father, I hope that we could at least be friends.

We were fellow Companion protectors. You at least owed me the courtesy of asking how I was. I mean I just came out of an explosion. Granted, I had help from some friends but you didn't know that.

I sincerely thought we had bonded somehow. A few months back, when the Mothership was hijacked. We were fighting the Jaridian replicant and you called me by my first name. You called me Liam. After that we had a little 'talk' and you promised to keep an open mind. I thought you trusted me a little. Was I wrong?

You were never the trusting sort. Lili told me about how you trusted Boone only *after* he killed you wife. Who must I kill so that you would trust me?

I can't believe I said that. Would I really kill for you? Yes. That is the truth. I believe it with every fiber of my being.

Why do I care? Why do I need your trust? You are my father in genes only. It was Lili and Augur that took care of me, not you. You don't even know I exist. Yet here I am, swearing to kill for you. Just to get your approval and trust. I crave your approval and trust. Why?

The answer is so simple. You are my father. You can have a dozen wives, a million friends but you only have one father. You are my only family left. Mother and Ha'gel are gone forever. They exist only in my memories, my dreams. You on the other hand, you're real. Tangible. I can touch you . You're alive. You're still here on this plane of existence.

I love you. I know what you've done, I have your memories. I am still angry with you. You're siding with the enemy but somehow I understand. I don't care who you are and what you have done. You are my father and that is what matters. I will continue loving you.

In the end, Darth Vader turned back into Anakin Skywalker. I have hope that one day, you will acknowledge and love me as your son. I have faith in you, Father.

One day we will be happy. We will survive the Taelons. We will survive this game called life. We will survive. Our father-son bond will never break. After all isn't blood thicker than water?

One day ...
