Chapter Four: Two Fathers, Two Children
A few hours later, a sense od somesort woke Scott. Shelby was asleep, still holding him, but now
both hands were free. Carefully, he slipped out of the embrace, moving her into the next bed. Still adjusting to being awake,
he turned to see green eyes staring back at him.
" Hey" he whispered, sitting on the floor, smiling to reassure or.
" Hi" she still sounded scared, not of him, but of the recent events to traumatize her.
Scott ran a finger on her hand that was curled near her chin, " I know this must be scary for you,
but I want you to know that you don't have to worry, nothing bad will happen to you, I wont let it".
Morgan looked at his hand, then at him, " mommy always said that you were my daddy, and she wanted
me to be with you. Do I get to stay?".
He couldn't answer that question for himself, let alone her, " do you know where mommy is?" hopefully
Morgan wouldn't notice that he ignored her question.
She didn't, " no".
Not far away, Shelby stirred in her sleep, almost waking. Scott remained quiet until she stopped.
" How about we go for a walk?".
The porch steps were difficult for her, she used the support from Scott's hand. He had to bend a bit
to keep a hold on her. The morning sun was bright and warm. Approaching Horizons main grounds, they both saw that the
rest of the cliffhangers had come back.
Morgan stopped, Scott did as well a few steps later. " Don't be afraid, they're harmless". She
rapidly shook her head. " Alright". She was in his arms again, head on his shoulder, arms around his neck. He kept walking,
hoping no one would care that he was there. He wasn't that lucky.
Kat came in the same direction, carrying a duffel bag, " aaawww, is she your sister, Scott?".
All the cliffhangers knew he had a younger sister, only Shelby and Sophie as of last night, knew
she was a teenager. " She's from the family". Morgan loosened her death grip on him when walking away from Kat. He placed
a hand on her back, she was shaking, he could feel it against him. " It's okay" he ran his hand against her shirt.
Scott carefully went up the steps to the main lodge, supporting Morgan with one arm to open the door.
" Dad" he gasped.
Sure enough, with Peter and Sophie, was the one person Scott dreaded ever seeing again. He wasn't
smiling, that was never a good sign.
" We were just talking about you" at least Peter was smiling. Sophie walked over to them,
specifically Scott's shoulder, there was that grip again, she noticed. " I don't know wht she's doing that" he told her.
" Feeling of security" she responded, " little kids are like that, especially girls".
" Is it a good idea to have her here for this?" Peter asked, the four exchanged glances,
waiting for someone to answer.
" I'll take her" Shelby entered to room, very perky for someone who had just woken up. When
closer, Morgan extended her arms to Shelby's. " I won't say anything to anyone" she whispered to him before leaving.
Scott sat next to Sophie, across from Peter, diagnol from his father. Peter began the disscussion,
leaning onto the table top. " Alright, I know this may be a difficult yet strange subject, we have to get to the bottom
of thos. Technically, it is possible for Scott to be Morgan's father".
" That is, if everyone believes me" Scott eyed Martin, he knew what it was for. Sophie
motioned from him to stop.
Peter waited, then went on, " mister Barringer, perhaps you can tell what happened in your home
proir to Scott leaving".
Martin cleared his throat, " a few weeks after he was here, my wife told me she was pregnant. To
be honest, neither of us were entirely thrilled how parents should be when their child is born, she wasn't really planned..".
Every bolt of anger rushed through Scott's mind, " wasn't really planned!? You think I planned
this!?".
Sophie held his wrist, " it's okay Scott, you'll get your turn" her voice soothingly said, she
knew he would attack at any given moment if the chance was given.
Martin glanced at him, knowing how angry he really was, " accidents happen, I thought they told
you about waiting until marriage for sex, that must have been one of the days you decided to just not go".
Both Sophie and Peter knew the truth and knew what that could have done to him. Sophie held him
to the chair, she could have sworn he was going to do something physical, but he didn't. She kept holding his wrist when
he stood. " You lived with her, I just met my own daughter. I'm eighteen-years-old, and I have known my two-year-old
daughter for eight hours. For Christ sake, she's scared to be around people and I don't know what to do and I'm her father.
She calls me ' daddy', but now I look at you, listening to what you just said, and wondering how I ever considered you to
be mine". Scott stormed away, no one dared to stop him.
His nerves were a wreck, his mind racing. When walking onto the porch, he lost control and slid to
the floor. Shelby saw him, she hadn't gone far. She ran over to him, by that time he was crying. Morgan was at the other
side. Shelby threw her arms around his neck, rocking him back and forth. Morgan hesitated, walking over to his side.
Scott looked up, she jumped into his arms and he hugged her tightly. When Sophie and Peter walked outside, the three of them
were crying.
