"Grandma! Grandpa! We're home! Fi-fi and David are with us!"
You're probably wondering why Sabrina didn't call out to her mom and dad to announce their arrival. Well, it's a long story.
As you know, Their mom was kidnapped when both kids were about six, and pronounced dead a year later. Yeah, so what about their dad?
Danny Fenton had been furious, and hurt when Sam was taken. When Sam was pronounced dead, he wouldn't believe it, COULDN'T believe it. He sent all his dreams down the drain, he gave up on being an astronaut, he wouldn't stop until he found her.
Of course, he loved (and loves) his kid's dearly. He sent them to defense classes, and all sorts of other self-defense training. Eventually though, the strain of no job, and paying for all the classes took its toll on his finances and forced him to move back in with his parents, who gladly welcomed back their son.
This change though, gave Danny's kids a free babysitter, and a chance for him to grow distant. His parents saw this and tried to send him to psychologists to get him out of his depression, but even his sister (one of the best in the U.S.) couldn't cure him.
Now he spent all of his time in his room, following dead end leads, searching for nonexistent clues, and trying to bring back his dead wife.
-----------------------------------------------
Jack walked in his son's room, carrying a tray with his son's dinner on it.
"Hey Danny, I got your dinner. Your mom made chicken tonight.
Without looking up from his desk, Danny murmured a thanks and resumed his work as his dad placed his food next to him.
After a moment, when Jack still hadn't left the room and was watching him, Danny looked up from his work to watch his dad.
"What?"
It was such a simple question, and yet it made Jack's shoulder's sag, looking at his son sadly.
"Danny, we need to talk, and I'm not going to 'come back later' like you've told me every other time."
Danny groaned and stopped his work.
"Danny, I know you miss her, but she's gone Danny, and you can't bring her back."
At this Danny stood up abruptly, knocking over his chair. "NO! SHE IS NOT DEAD! I KNOW SHE ISN'T! I know she isn't, she can't be…" Danny started tearing up, Tears that had been threatening to fall for nine years, ever since she had been taken, fell. Jack came up and held his son during his moment of weakness, soothing him with comforting words only a parent can know.
"Danny, is this what sam would want? Would she want you to stay in your room and search for her when she is already gone? For nine years you've been like this. You barely know your kid's anymore! Do you know that Derek longs for a dad that will love him and not push him away? Did you know Sabrina tries so hard to get all A's in school just so you notice her? Stop pushing us away Danny, live in the now and don't let your lost love consume your life."
Danny wiped his eyes on his shirt and nodded. From now on, he would try to reconnect with his kids, and stop trying to chase after Sam.
He just hoped it wasn't too late.
