He couldn't believe it. He has a daughter, who followed in his tracks and became a law officer just like him. This will differently take a time to adjust. Right now he just wants to get to know her more. So he drove over to Flo's where she and Sally were just sitting chatting about their past in LA
"Luna, can we talk privately?" asked Sheriff not wanted everybody to know his secret not just yet anyway. Luna nodded and told Sally she'll take to her later. And she drove up in front of Sheriff.
"What is it?"
"I got some news about your father you might want to hear."
"What! You know some information about him!" she said as she got excited.
"What to take a drive with me and I'll tell you everything."
"Sure, Sheriff"
So both law officers took off leaving the others behind at Flo's.
They ended up driving up to the Abandon Wheel Well Hotel.
"What a place"
"Before it closed, it was the most popular place on Route 66."
"Wow"
Then she noticed the carving of a heart on the hotel. It had two initials on it. S and MLX.
"Oh my gosh"
"What? Said Sheriff thinking at the time that she figured who he really is.
"S and MLX"
"What about them?"
"I wonder if MLX is my mother initials?"
"What's her initials then?" he asked hoping she'll get the hint.
"Mary Lou Xavier"
"Xavier was her madden name before she married."
"She gotten married?" Sheriff said shocked to hear the news about his old flame.
"She was married, she and my stepfather were killed a few days after their wedding."
He couldn't believe the love of his life was gone. He looked away sadly from Luna. She noticed and drove slowly up to him.
"Sheriff what's wrong?" she asked worried about her new friend.
"Did she say anything about your biological father before she died?" he asked.
Luna was confused in what he was asking but told him everything she knew about her father.
"She told me that she loved him very much, and if there were another way after finding out about me, she would have married him and I would have grown up with a father."
Then it was Luna turn to look away. Sheriff noticed and drove around her to see her face.
"Are you alright, Luna?"
"If she didn't got herself pregnant she didn't have to leave her home town, she would be still alive." She said before busting into tears.
Sheriff drove up to her and gives her a hug.
"It's wasn't your fault that she died, it wasn't your fault that she left here without telling nobody, so don't go start blaming yourself."
"How old were you when they died?"
"I was 18, barely graduated from high school when they got killed."
"Oh man, you were still young, just freshly out of high school, what happened after the accident?"
"My stepfather's parents took me in, helped me choose whatever job I wanted to be."
"Why join the police force?"
"I don't know, I had some short of a calling so I joined the force and found out I'm plenty good at doing my job."
Luna decided to change the subject and found out what he knows about her father.
"So you said you have some information about my father you wanted to tell me."
It was time to tell her. Sheriff gulped before speaking.
"Luna, I know who your father is." He said.
Luna couldn't believe it she about to find who her biological father is.
"Then who is it, Sheriff, who's my father?"
Sheriff looked deeply into her blue eyes. He realized that she inherited his eyes.
"I know him because I am him, I'm your father, Luna."
Luna's mouth dropped, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"You're my father, my biological father?"
"Yes"
"Holy ford"
"I know it will take a while to get use to but it's all true." He said driving close to her.
"How did you? If my mother never told you about me then how did you?"
" Lizzie told me the truth."
"I knew she was hiding something from me when I went to talk to her."
She looked up at him and smiled.
"You know what"
"What"
"I don't know why but I had a feeling it was you ever since I came here."
"How's that"
"I don't know, a feeling, and it definitely because I inherited your eyes and the love of protecting people."
Both cars laughed.
Both father and daughter hugged each other for a while and then it was dark and both cars where getting thirsty.
While on the drive back to town, they continued to talk.
"What are we going to tell them?"
"Tell them nothing, tonight, wait until the morning."
"That sounds fine with me, Dad"
Sheriff need to get use of the idea of being called Dad. He knew he could easily get used to it.
A daughter, his daughter, Sheriff couldn't believe it.He smiled at the idea.
