Chapter 2
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I sat beside Guy as he drove us the 10 mile distance from college to home. It had been nearly a week since he proposed and we were both going home to tell our parents. I was rather nervous. It had always been just me and Dad, Mom had died when I was 3 and Dad had been very protective over me ever since. Would he be happy or miserable about the whole thing. Although he and Guy got on as good as could be expected from my Dad, when I had started dating Guy again my dad had been none to pleased. He thought I was too good for Guy, but in actual fact I thought Guy was too good for me.
"Right, I'll see you tomorrow". Guy pulled up outside my house and we both got out and went to the trunk so I could get my bags.
"Yeah. Love you". I replied as I kissed him on the lips then went and stood on my porch and watched him drive off.
I turned and took deep breath. I hadn't been home in ages. In fact I had forgotten how old this place was looking. I pushed the door open and walked in dumping my bag quietly by the side of the door.
"Dad, I'm home". I shouted from the hall.
"Connie". Came a warm welcoming voice soon followed by my Dad's body which seemed to float down the stairs. "I've missed you so much honey"! he said his voice full of joy as he picked my small frame up and spun me around.
"I've missed you too". I gave him a huge hug then looked up into his loving warm eyes.
"Look at you. Your all grown up". He said a tear entered his eye at the sight of me.
"I look exactly the same as last time you saw me". I replied.
"No you look so much more grown up. You've done me proud baby". He lead me to the kitchen and started cooking up a storm immediately.
"Dad before you start cooking, I need to tell you something". I said, my stomach flipping and tying in knots.
"What's wrong honey". He said immediately worried as he sat opposite me.
"Nothing's wrong Dad". I took both his hands in mine.
"Well what. You know you can tell me anything". My Dad said.
"Well, it's just that er".. I began but my Dad cut in.
"Is that an, an engagement ring". He suddenly blurted out startling me.
"That's what I wanted to tell you". I tried carrying on but yet again did my Dad cut in.
"It's that boy who wear's that stupid green hat isn't it". My Dad raised his voice slightly.
"You like Guy Dad". I tried calming him.
"I've never liked anyone you've ever dated. I just put up with them because I know at the time they make you happy". My Dad wouldn't be calmed.
"Well Guy makes me happy Dad. He always has done". I began losing my temper now.
"No he hasn't, you broke up when you were in High school".
"Through no fault of his, it was all my doing".
"Your just saying that to protect him".
"No Dad, I'm not, I ended it with him in high school because I was too stupid to see how much he loved me". I argued my voice now higher than his. "You have to accept that at some point in my life I'm going to find someone, if it wasn't Guy it was bound to be someone else". I calmed down slowly.
"I always dreaded this moment you know". He admitted.
"I know you did, but no-one, no how is ever going to make me stop loving you, or take your place in my heart". I squeezed his hands as a tear rolled down both our cheeks.
"You sound just like your mother". He told me. "You remind me so much of her. She was always right, just like you".
"Dad, I want to marry Guy, but I can't do it if you can't support my decision". I told him as softly as I could. "I don't want to lose you too".
"You won't lose me. I only ever wanted the best for my little girl".
"I have the best, and I'm never letting him go again". I smiled as we both cried softly.
"Well in that case, I better get saving hadn't I". He hugged me tightly.
From then on, I realized how much I meant to my Dad. I always knew he loved me but now I understood more about how he felt. I was his little girl, no matter how old I got he'd always see me as that little needy 3 year old he had brought up by himself. The thought had never entered my mind until now, he had dreaded this day my whole life, the day where I claimed my whole independence and didn't need to rely on him anymore. I suppose it was worse because I was all he'd got. I had no brother's or sister's for him to feel needed by. I tried reassuring him that no matter what, I'd always need him. But I don't know if he got the message clearly or not.
GUY'S P.O.V
I had just dropped Connie off and headed the three blocks away to my house. I had told my Mom to expect me and she had told me she would organize a family dinner. Great all I'd need, 3 sister's and 2 brother's all being incredibly loud as I tried to tell Mom and Dad about me and Connie.
As I walked up the front porch steps, I could hear my Mom telling Simon and Michael to stop chasing Natasha, Letitia and Natalie. Then the door suddenly swung open and my Mom flew at me with her arms open wide.
"Guy, oh my baby. It's so good to have you home". She hugged me tightly before dragging me and my bag into the house.
At that point all my siblings threw themselves onto me. Natasha being the first, followed by the Natalie and Letitia, then the boys. I was eldest by about 8 years. See my family was rather weird. My biological Dad had walked out on me and my Mom when I was a baby and never returned. When I turned 7 my Mom met Geoff and got married. 9 months later they had Natasha, 2 years after Natasha they had Simon and Michael and if that wasn't enough 5 years after the boys my Mom gave birth to Natalie and Letitia. I had immediately begun calling Geoff Dad and we were closer than any biological Father and Son.
"Hi Son"! Dad helped me up from under the 5 bodies.
"Hey Dad". I hugged him when I finally managed to get up.
"So you hungry"? He asked softly leading me into the dining room where Mom was about to serve dinner.
"Starving. If I haven't missed anything else it's Mom's cooking". I laughed and my Dad joined in too.
Within 5 minutes Mom had dished up her specialty meat and potato pie. God it was good, and to prove it I started my second serving before I started trying to explain everything.
"Ok here goes. I've asked Connie to marry me". I said rather quickly then stuffed my mouth full of pie.
"What, my little baby boy's getting married". My Mom screamed then started crying and immediately got up and squeezed all the air out of me.
"Let the boy breath Janet". My Dad laughed.
"So what'd she say Guy"? Natasha asked eagerly.
"Yes". I said once my Mom let go.
"When did you ask her"? My Dad asked finally once my Mom had sat down again.
"Last week. I was going to ring but I thought it would better if I told you in person". I told them.
"What has Connie's father said"? My Mom asked.
"I don't know, she's there now. I have to ring her later".
"Knowing him, he'll be against it". My Mom said in disgust.
"Connie will win him around. He has more than a right to be against it. She's all he's got". I told them,
"I suppose, he hasn't got any other kids to keep himself occupied like us". My Mom said sorrowfully.
"Hey we could always give him some of ours". Geoff joked.
"DAD". Came 5 moans.
Oh happy families I thought. Though, I wouldn't change mine for the world, except maybe give my brothers and sisters away.
Well what do you think!!! PLEASE R&R!!!!
