Abby's POV
I smiled at my dad while letting go of the hug. "Besides the Zukos' are your real family now." My dad says.
"You're my family too." I told him.
"Yeah but they took you in when I...did those awful horrible things to you...my child...my baby girl, whom I should always protect and love...not abused." Dad said as tears formed in his eyes.
Wow, he actually feels really awful!
"Every night when I go to confession...I just break down every time when I think of you, your mother...and how we used to be a family...I want it all to be back to normal." He added. "I hated myself for putting you through all that...and I still do." I gave my dad a big hug as he cried. "I'm so sorry." He cried.
"Shhh, it's ok dad...I still love you." I told him. "And I forgive you."
"I love you too, baby girl!" He cried.
I also had tears in my eyes as well.
"Sorry to interrupt," We looked over to see Mr. and Mrs. Zuko standing at the doorway. "But it's your choice Abby." Mr. Zuko tells me.
"I know, but... it's gonna take some time." I replied.
"That's alright sweetheart." Mrs. Zuko said giving me a hug. "You take all the time you need, nobody is pressuring you dear." I smiled.
"Thanks...Mr. Zuko." I said as she kissed my head.
"Anytime dear." She smiled.
We hugged again.
