Father and Son

I think this is just going to be a bunch of Gallagher Girl one shots. You can PM me stuff you want me to write about, questions etc.

3rd Person POV

There was an awkward silence in the car. Townsend was new to the whole father thing and wasn't sure whether he should say anything or not. Zach on the other hand just wanted to get back to Gallagher and put his mother where she could never hurt his Gallagher Girl, or anyone else for that matter again. Townsend finally decided to speak.

"I just want you to know that I never suspected, much less knew." He said solemnly.

"But it's your job to… know." Zach countered.

He thought back to the conversation he'd had with Cammie just a few hours ago. God he loved her, but she could never love someone as messed up as him. He knew deep down she'd be better off without him. But Zach also knew that by ignoring his father that he was doing something Cammie would never do, because she'd never get to see her father again. So he decided to make the best of the situation.

"So. How's Abby?" He questioned. He never said he couldn't have a little fun.

"She's great." He replied.

"I heard about the Buenos Aires incident." He quipped back.

"That was only one time." He stated, and then blushed, "and Abby was really cute and…"

"No, I do not want to hear the rest of this story." Zach said plugging his ears. Townsend forced himself to remember the eighteen year old boy he was talking to was also his son. And since he was his son Townsend thought he had the right to tease him at least a little bit.

"So should I be expecting any grand kids any time soon?" He questioned.

"No," he replied quickly.

"Why not?" Townsend asked. He was under the impression that he and Cammie were very much in love.

"I wouldn't do that to a child." Zach answered gruffly.

"Leave without meeting them," Townsend started. "Because I will assure you that Cammie and Catherine are very different people."

"It's not Cammie I'm worried about, it's me. I'm afraid of what I would do to a child. Ex-assassins don't usually win father of the year." Zach replied sadly.

Townsend was suddenly saddened. It hurt to see someone he cared about (and yes he did care about Zach) so broken.

"Zach you're not just an assassin you're talented, and fearless, and I think that the world owes you a very big favor for saving their little arses, but most of all you love Cammie and you'd make a brilliant father." Townsend stated.

"Thanks." Zach said. And he meant it, it felt good to have approval from someone he respected.

I hope you like it, I would really appreciate reviews.
