FLASHBACK- Sure they had a kid together, but that didn't change anything...did it? -END OF FLASHBACK
Madison shook it off and walked over to the fridge. She pulled out some left over pizza and warmed it up. Then she grabbed a plate and walked over to the couch. She watched a little TV and then fell asleep, she was exhausted.
A couple hours later, she was woken by a loud knock at the door. She shook her head to fully wake herself up and then rushed to the door. She opened it and saw Dr. Brown.
Madison was shocked, she knew why he was here, but she didn't know what was going to happen, "D-Dr. Brown...hi...um...would-would you like to come in?"
Andy just nodded, and then stepped inside. He looked around the apartment and noticed Ephram's jacket lying on the couch, "Where's Ephram?" he asked.
Madison thought that this was pretty rude, he just shows up and asks for his son, no mention of his granddaughter, he doesn't even ask how she's doing. "Uh...he's sleeping-Dr. Brown, I really don't think now is the best time..."
Andy ignored her commentary, "Sleeping?"
"Yeah...with the baby...he wanted to put her to sleep...listen, maybe you should just come back tomorrow...when everything is a lot less confusing..." Madison suggested politely.
"Madison...I'm sorry that I put you in this situation...I truly am, but Ephram is not ready for this, I'm not going to let him do this..." Andy said softly.
"With all due respect Dr. Brown, I really don't think it's your decision...Ephram told me that he wanted to stay..." she smiled, "I mean, you should see him with her...he's great...he really loves her..." Madison responded.
"Madison, please...just let me talk to Ephram..." Andy was trying to stay calm.
"I told you...he's sleeping, I don't want to wake the baby..."Madison pleaded with him.
"I just want to talk to my son!" Andy let out, loudly.
The baby started crying in the other room.
"Damn-it!" Madison put her hand on her forehead and looked down.
Andy looked at her apologetically, but she didn't notice. She walked down the hallway and Andy followed.
Madison opened the door to her bedroom and found Ephram holding the baby, and bouncing up and down.
"Shhhh shhhh" he whispered to his daughter, trying to get her to calm down.
Madison looked back at Andy, "Just stay here" she ordered him.
She walked in and closed the door on Andy.
Ephram looked up at her, "Who's here?"
Madison looked down, "It's your dad...he wants to talk to you..."
Ephram was shocked, he didn't expect his dad to come all the way here. The baby started crying louder.
Madison held out her arms, "Here...I'll take her"
Ephram carefully passed the baby to her mother and then started pacing back and forth as Madison bounced.
"Why would he be here? What does he want?" Ephram rambled to himself.
"Ephram...I think you know the answer to both of those questions..." Madison said.
Ephram sat on the bed, "Maybe if we just stay in here, he'll-he'll go away or something..."
"Shhh shhh shhh" Madison whispered to the baby, as she started to calm down.
Andy decided to knock on the door.
"Ephram? I know you don't really want to talk to me right now...but I need to talk to you...please, just come out here" Andy said softly.
"Ephram...just go...get it over with...but take it outside or something, so I can get her to sleep..." Madison pleaded, the baby was now pretty calm.
"Yeah...yeah you're right...ok...I-I'll be back..." He stood up and walked over to Madison, kissed the back of his daughter's head and then walked out the door.
"Ephram" Andy greeted his son, as Ephram walked into the hallway and shut the door behind him.
"Dad...let's do this outside ok? I-I don't want you waking her up again..." he said annoyed.
"Fine by me..." Andy said as he followed Ephram down the hallway and out the front door.
They got outside and stood in silence. Andy kept opening his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Maybe he had made the wrong decision.
Ephram waited for him to say something, and when he didn't, "What are you doing here?"
Andy sighed, "I came to bring you home Ephram..."
Ephram chuckled, "You came to bring me home?!? You actually thought that you could come down here and I would voluntarily leave with you?!? God..." he looked down, "I knew you were arrogant, but..."
"Ephram, you have to come home...you have school...and graduation, and what about college? Have you even thought about that?!" Andy tried to talk some "sense" into his son.
"Do you really think I care about any of that now? Well obviously not, obviously you don't know what it's like to be a father! I am not going to let my daughter go through her childhood without a dad! Cause I did...and it sucked! So if you don't have anything else to say...you should just leave, cause I'm not coming home with you..." Ephram was about to cry.
"Ephram..." Andy didn't know what to say to this, "I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you were younger...but this is totally different"
"HOW?!?!" Ephram cut him off.
Andy, truthfully, didn't know how, but he needed his son to come back home.
Ephram waited for a response and didn't get one. "yeah...that's what I thought..."
Ephram turned on his heel and walked back inside, leaving Andy standing there.
