I'm so sorry that it took me this long to update this thing. Real life can be a real burden sometimes, and I had to pay attention to it.
I'm finally finishing season 3 but it always bugged me that hey never returned to this topic. So this is me doing something about it.
I wrote this while I needed to clear my head, so it probably has a lot of mistakes. Besides, please remember that I'm from Brazil so I'm not that sure how this works up there. I tried though, and it's the thought that counts, right?
I have some angst fica to upload but I'm not sure about those. You'll have to wait and see, I guess.
G - Graduation
Can you guys please drop some suggestions for the letter H?
I don't own Scorpion *sighs*
She looks at the crowd in front of her.
When she got pregnant with Ralph, she thought that this day would never come.
She doesn't regret dropping out of college and having Ralph. He's her greatest gift and the love of her life. Her world got better when she had him.
As he grew up, because of the lack of money and the challenge of raising a child on her own, she thought that she would never be able to stand in front of so many people, about to graduate.
Then again, she thought that she would never have a family to call her own, but life is a funny thing.
She spots her cyclone in the middle of the crowd.
Sylvester and Toby are holding a sign, waiting for her turn. Happy has a reserved smile on her face but Paige knows that she's proud of her in her own way.
Cabe looks at her with fatherly pride on his eyes and her hearts melts at the sigh.
Walter can barely contain his excitement, just like Ralph. Their grins are so alike that not for the first time, she thinks that Walter is Ralph's dad in all the ways that matter.
It's mere biology, anyway. Who cares about that, when she can feel their love?
"Dineen, Paige!"
When she stands up to walk towards the stand, her cyclone is the loudest. They scream and whistle and clap their hands and she doesn't contain her laughter and her tears.
She shakes the Director's and her Teacher's hand, thanking them for everything.
After the ceremony, she walks towards them, to be engulfed in Sylvester's arms.
"We are so proud of you!" He exclaims on her ear and she only nods.
"I couldn't have done this without you," She says, looking at each of them, "without any of you."
"Of course you could." Walter says, dropping a kiss on her head.
"Maybe." She says, holding Ralph close to her. She's so glad that he looks just as happy as she feels. "But I'm glad I didn't have to."
And she really, really is.
Reviews are appreciated!
