Here's another pretty short chapter for you! I have tons of ideas, but I've got exams (and other commitments) at the moment, so these quick chapters are all I have for now :( I should have more time to write in July/ August so fingers crossed. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this for the time being.

"M- Mr Davenport?" came the (unusually timid) voice of the youngest bionic through the phone.
"What is it Chase?"
"I- uh-"
"Is everything okay? None of you are hurt, are you?"
"No."
Donald had expected the boy to continue, but it became clear after a ten second pause that this was all that he had to say.
"Chase?"
"You got a message."
"What?"
"You left yourself logged into your computer."
"Oh." Donald responded almost reflexively in his shock.
He had been messaging Tasha.
"Adam thinks he's getting a stepmom."
"Oh." Donald repeated, only this time the word came out soft and wavering- a result of his brain's inability to form an actual response.
"I'm happy for you." The bionic lied, feigning a cheery tone.
"Thanks Chase."
"W-when's the wedding?"
"August."
"Oh...cool. Soon then."
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner. I didn't want to upset you."
"Why would we be upset?"
The question was accompanied by an uneasy chuckle.
"Look I- If I could tell her about you, I would."
"It's fine."
There was another lull in the conversation, as Donald struggled to decide how best to steer the conversation. He was uncomfortably aware of his son's unsteady breaths coming through the phone.
Releasing a sigh, another thought occurred to him:
"Adam does understand that he won't be able to meet her, right?"
"I- I don't know. I think- I think that he wants to think that he...No."
"Right." He breathed "And Bree?"
"She's fine."
"And you're okay?"
Another pause.
"I'm fine."
"I'll be home in an hour."
Okay...so I don't know if I like this chapter, so feedback (good and bad) is appreciated. Also, I have so many ideas and don't know which one I should start working on, so please feel free to tell me what character you want me to write about next and I can base my decision on that.
Well...have a lovely day and thanks for reading :)
