((heya! Sorry it's taken me so long to update but yes…here I am! And to answer a question in one of my reviews…yes I do say how 'Finger's mom dies…it right there in the first chapter. Ok next part…yes I realize that Mush's child is not in my story but there are reasons for that 1) I had no clue what to name the kid and 2) ever think that maybe Mush doesn't have a kid? Yeah ok lame excuses but I'm working on it…I'll stick a little Mush in here some how, but maybe not in this chapter….if you know any good names just stick it in a review! Ok now, time with the story!))

            I took a deep breath and knocked on my Dad's apartment door. Yup, here I was…here to see my dad. I was scared to death mind you. Matt had convinced me to come and now I was seriously thinking twice about it. I was just about to run off when the door opened and there stood Mary holding Jack in her arms. We stood there for a bit till Mary gave me a huge smile.

            "Well hello Kelly, do you want to come in?"

            I gave Mary a timid smile and nodded. As Mary let me in she called out to my Dad. Within minutes he and Matt had appeared out of some other room. Matt flashed me a huge smile and winked.

            "Kelly…" My said, he voice trailing off.

            "Umm hey," I said. Yeah pretty lame huh? Lemme tell you I was so nervous, what the hell was I supposed to say huh? I mean I hardly knew the man and he was my father. "Yeah…can we'se talk?"

            "Yeah, sure, let's go up on the roof."

            I followed Jack out the window and up the fire escape to the roof. I guess you can take the man outta the city but you can't take the city outta the man. At first we just stood there in an awkward silence looking out at the city. The city was beautiful when it was light up at night, it almost made you forget all the horrible things that happened in the darkened alleys…not to be pessimistic or anything but it's the truth.

            "Kelly, I'm sorry, you're right about everything…" Jack began to say. "I should have told you before, and I defiantly shouldn't have told you like I did, but…" My dad paused and ran his fingers though his hair. "It's so hard, you know?"

            "No, can't say dat I'se do," I answered truthfully. And I didn't hell, I didn't have a kid. My dad let out a smirk and smiled a little.

            "Yeah, I guess you don't, but it is hard. You have every right to be mad at me, I messed up…a lot. I was trying to give you what you missed out on; I didn't think it the whole way through."

            "It's ok Pop," I said shrugging my shoulders. "I'se mean…well no it ain't ok, but Matt's a nice kid and…I'se just wanted you ta be around you know? You'se can't just run off den come back and expect ta be able to tell me what ta do. It don't work like dat, like anybody else you'se gotta earn me trust."

            Jack just looked at me for a bit then smiled. "You remind me a lot of myself when I was your age." At that he rumpled my hair and I glared at him as I attempted to fix it. "So we're ok now?"

            "Well…I'se donno if we'se ok, I'se mean you missed a lot of me life…but I'se think we'se getting' dere," I said smiling.

            "So…tell me about everyone."

            "Eve'yone?"

            "Yeah, Kid Blink, Mush, Race, all of them…and I want to know what's going on with you and Eric."

            I blushed. Good God! You'd think by now I'd be used to it but NOOOO I still turn red whenever anyone asked me about Eric. So there we sat, for the rest of the night, I mean we had my whole life to catch up on and…well…we did.

((yeah, ok short but hey at least it's here! And no this is not the end…I still have a few things that I wanna put in here…umm yes I still need a name for Mush's kid and I'll stick him into the next chapter…so yeah. Read and Review please!))
