That was a long day, but it finally was almost over. Tommy returned to the house and went to the command center to check if Hayley was still here. She was sitting with headphones on her head, listening to some music during work. He smiled, that was a lovely view. He patted her arm, making her turn in his direction.
- Hey, I didn't notice you... You look like shit. - she commented, looking at him closely.
- Thanks. It was a long day. - he sighed.
- Soo... you are planning to take shower and go sleep? - she said.
- Probably, but if you're asking, then I guess I will do something else finally. - he smiled. Their relation was strange, but for now, it was enough for him, he didn't want another heartbreak, that would kill him.
- I found some movie, I can make some popcorn. - she smiled and he was already on the losing side.
- Fine, but shower first. - after those words he went to the bathroom, leaving Hayley alone. She finished her work for today, closed the command center and then she went to the kitchen to prepare some popcorn and something to drink.
Kids were learning at the library, they planned to sit there to the late, so they should have some time alone, right?
Tommy came back from the shower in black t-shirt and shorts, then he took the cd that Hayley brought.
- Butterfly effect? - Tommy raised his brow like they didn't have enough Sci-fi in their life. Hayley only shrugged and Tommy went to the TV to turn it on. He sat on the sofa and then Kira came to the home, Tommy tilted his head and looked at her.
- Aren't you at the library? - he asked gently.
- No... my brain doesn't work today, I will finish it in a weekend. - Kira sighed and she took off her shoes. - I will be in my room I need some rest. - she said, seeing that Hayley and Dad have some plans, she didn't want to ruin their evening, she was shipping them and crossing her fingers that one day they will be truly together. - Hey Hay. - she said with the smile and then she rushed to her room, dreaming about the soft bed. Redhead answered her with a smile. Then, she went with popcorn and two drinks to the Tommy on the sofa, they started to watch a movie, but then front doors open again. Conner, Ethan, and Trent entered Tommy's home.
- Break from learning. O! you are watching butterfly effect! - Ethan said with a smile, Conner without asking sat on the ground under the sofa and he took away Dr. O's popcorn and started to eat this alone.
- Hey! - Tommy and Trent yelled at the same time, they looked at each other and Tommy rolled his eyes.
- You are not alone here, give me some. - Trent said and sat next to the Hayley, taking away popcorn from Connor.
- Hush! it's starting! - Ethan said and took some popcorn from Trent, and then he sat next to Dr. O.
Kira hearing boys' voices decided to go and check what the hell is going on. She sighed and rubbed her head, she couldn't rest here!
- What is going on? - she asked, walking down the stairs.
- We are watching a movie. - Ethan said.
- I didn't invite them - Tommy rolled his eyes, but his voice wasn't angry, more like he was amused.
- I guess... - she said with a smile and decided to fit in the gap between Ethan and her dad too and took some popcorn.
Then, they watched the movie.
For few minutes.
After that, they started fighting for popcorn.
Then, they started popcorn fight. Popcorn was in all living room.
But... It was okay.
He was like the father of four teenagers.
He was truly the father of one of them.
And that was ok.
He had the family.
At last.
Extra Tommy's memory for Father's Day :D
