A Day Out

It was the next morning and it was a Wednesday morning but instead of going to school with everything Reagan had been through the previous night he thought it would be a good idea to take her out for the day he already cleared it with Clare as long as she was home by her curfew 9pm.

It was 7:00 he decided to let her sleep in while he fixed breakfast once he was finished Reagan walked in the kitchen "Drew what time is it?"

"Its almost 7:30" replied Drew "and I fixed us some breakfast I didnt know what you liked so I fixed everything" he replied.

"What about school ive never missed a day ever other then yesterday" said Reagan.

"Your mom gave me permission to take you out for the day since yesterday was intense for you that is if you want to go" said Drew.

"Sure that sounds fun" replied Reagan.

He smiled as he sat down and motioned for her to sit down "so is your girlfriend gonna join us for breakfast" asked Reagan as she started eating.

"No shes already went to work for the day" he replied.

"So do you all have any kids?" Asked Reagan.

"Nope your the only one I've got" he replied.

She smiled at him and he smiled back.

The rest of breakfast was silent after that the two of them got ready for the day then left the house "so where are we going today?"

"Why dont you pick its your day?" Said Drew.

"Can we go to the mall?" Asked Reagan.

"Its your day" replied Drew.

"Then can we go to the fair it opens at 3?" Said Reagan.

"If thats what you want to do" Drew replied.

"Can we go hiking?" She asked.

"Sure why not" he laughed.

She smiled maybe she was gonna enjoy this day more than she thought maybe Drew wasnt so bad.

They pulled up to the mall and went in Reagan dragged him to every store trying on stuff and goofing off in silly outfits Drew waited outside the dressing room and she came out with entire 80's makeover included a poofy hair wig.

"What if I dressed the rest of the day like this" said Reagan.

"I would claim to not know you" joked Drew.

Reagan dressed up in silly outfits and Drew took pictures of the rediculous ones.

They continued to browse around for a while and were about to head onto the fair when they ran into Dallas "hey man what are you doing here?" Said Dallas walking up with his seventeen year old son behind him.

"Im spending the day with Reagan" said Drew.

"Wow this is little Reagan you finally got the balls to step up and get her back" said Dallas.

"Not exactly its complicated" said Drew.

"Right" said Dallas understanding he didnt want to discuss it in front of her.

"Reagan this is my best friend and your god father Dallas" said Drew "and his son Rocky."

She shook both their hands "nice to meet you."

Rocky smiled at her and she smiled back which Drew noticed "Rock she's thirteen, chill" said Drew.

Rocky put his hands up "sorry man."

"We were getting ready to go to the fair if you want to join us" said Drew.

"Sure that sounds fun" said Dallas.

They got in their respective cars and drove to the fair they played games which Drew was terrible at, and Dallas and Reagan laughed at him and then Reagan tried and won on the first try as she was given her prize Drew rolled his eyes "this game is rigged" said Drew.

They then decided to sing in a kareoke contest Drew sang signed sealed delivered which was out of tune and all over the place but he had a blast as Reagan laughed the whole time.

After a few hours of playing games and riding rides Dallas and Drew joined the taco eating contest as Reagan and Rocky cheered them on and Drew won.

After that they left the fair and decided to go on the hike Drew was getting a map for them when he ran into a woman "oh im so sorry..." when he got a look at her face he recognized her "oh hey Drew wheres Reagan?"

"Im right here mom" she said walking up "Drew and I are going on a hike" she said proudly.

"What a coincidence I was about to also but if you dont want me to intrude" said Clare.

"You can come with us" said Drew.

"I dont want to intrude on your day" said Clare.

"How about we callout it a family hike ive never done anything with both my parents before" said Reagan.

"Sure if thats what you want" said Clare.

The three of them started walking up the mountian "so Clare do you do this a lot" asked Drew as he was reaching for a rock to climb on.

"Yea mom comes and takes a hike every Wednesday its to clear her head" said Reagan.

"Wait you knew your mom would be here" said Drew.

"I knew she would be here today I didnt know the time" said Reagan.

They kept on climbing and Drew decided to play a trick he took out a noise maker and set it on lion and it made a roaring sound as Clare and Reagan jumped and screamed and Drew started laughing and shook the box at them.

"Drew that is not funny" yelled Clare as she started to run to him "you better catch me" he said.

She ran after him and grabbed him and hit him on the shoulder "seriously Drew that wasn't funny."

"Really I was laughing about it" said Drew.

They finally got to the top of the mountian and looked at the view "its beauiful" said Clare.

"Yea it is im glad we came up here" said Drew putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Maybe we should have a picture of this moment" said Reagan.

The three of them got together and smiled as they took a picture then they took a few silly ones sticking their tongues out and making funny faces.

Then Clare took pics of just Drew and Reagan with serious and funny expressions once she was done she walked out as far as she could one more time and accidently tripped and Drew grabbed her "Clare you okay?"

"Yea im fine" said Clare she looked up at him he gave an akward smile as he walked her away from the cliff.

Then they walked back down and it was 7 "well its about time for dinner Clare would you like to join us" asked Drew.

"No I think im gonna go home but remember her curfew is 9" said Clare.

"I know ill have her home by 9" said Drew.

Clare started to get in her car when it wouldnt start after trying everything nothing would work "Clare you could ride with us and if you dont wanna have dinner I can take you on home" said Drew.

"Ill go onto dinner I am getting a little hungry"said Clare the three of them got in the car they got some dinner and then got back in the car and headed back to Clare's house.

Drew turned on the radio and nothings gonna stop us now.

Reagan started laughing as Drew started singing horribly off tune and Reagan started clapping along and he started pushing on Clare "come on Clare sing along."

Clare shook her head as a small smile appeared "Clare I remember you saying this is one of your favorite songs" said Drew.

Clare then started singing along and the three of them sang together while banging their heads as the line "nothings gonna stop us now" was played he playfully put the arm he wasnt driving with around Clare pulling her in closer to him as she smiled softly.

They then pulled into Clare's driveway "here we are ladies home at 8:50 do I get brownie points for being early miss Edwards" said Drew.

""Yes you do" joked Clare "ill give you two a moment to say goodbye" she said as she went on inside.

"Did you have a good time today" asked Drew.

"Yeah it was one of the most fun days in my life" said Reagan.

"Good mine too I hope your mom will let us do it again and if she ever wants to join us shes more than welcome" said Drew "and you are welcome at my house anytime just give me a call" said Drew.

"I think mom had fun too ive never seen her smile like that" said Reagan.

"What about your dad doesnt he ever make her smile" asked Drew.

"Its all about bills and work to him he would never take a day and do fun things all day"said Reagan.

"I think everybody needs time to unwind sometimes" said Drew.

"Thanks again Drew hopefully ill see you again soon" said Reagan as she went inside.

Reagan went inside and told Clare everything they did while they were out and Clare was glad she had a good time once Reagan went to sleep she took out her camera and looked at the pictures she couldnt remembered the last time she winded down and got to be silly probably back in senior year when she hung out with Drew all the time, she wasnt falling for Drew was she, no she couldnt go down that road again she couldnt.

Drew got home and took a shower and he then looked through all the photos one which had the three of them Drew and Clare on either side of Reagan in the middle it was easy to see how much she resembled both of them she had Clare's hair and skin tone she had Drew's nose and eyes along with his smile he smiled and printed the picture out and put it in a frame and set it next to his bed he then took another and put it in his wallet.

Today was the most fun he had in years his smile then faded there was no doubt he loves Bianca she was his first true love but towards the end of the night when he spent it Reagan and Clare all he could think about how would his life had been if he kept his rights and they raised Reagan as a family how things would have been different would he have been happier.

Right now his focus is gonna be on his daughter, he could sort out the Clare stuff later he was gonna make up for lost times with her.
