Chapter Eleven : Apologies and Understanding

Betty was sitting on the couch working on an article,when suddenly she heard a knock on the door. She had plans with Daniel,but not till later in the day, so she wondered who it could possible be.

She looked through the peephole and was surprised by who was on the other side,it was her Father . She hadn't spoken to him, or her sister in over a week,ever since the disastrous dinner. She sighed then opened the door.

''Papi, what are you doing here?'' Betty said,not knowing what else to say.

''Can I come in?'' Ignacio asked.

''Of course.'' Betty said. Just because they hadn't seen eye to eye the last time they spoke ,didn't warrant turning him away.

''Betty, first I'd like to apologize for the way I acted the last time I was here. I may have overreacted...'' Ignacio said.

''It was more than just an overreaction Papi,what you said really hurt.'' Betty said.

''I know mija...and I'm very sorry for that.'' Ignacio said.

''I don't understand where all of that came from, you've seen the growth and change in Daniel, hes not that same guy he was when you, or I ,first met him four years ago.'' Betty said.

''I know...I guess I was just upset that you were keeping this a secret, it felt like you'd been lying to me.'' Ignacio said.

''And how do you feel now?About me and Daniel?'' Betty said.

'' I was talking to Justin and he brought up some interesting points." Ignacio said.

"Really,what did he say?" Betty asked curious,but not surprised that her nephew had given her father some advice, he was after all very perceptive, especially when it came to his family.

" He made me realize that I've seen a change in you this past month, you've seemed happier. And even though you don't need it, If Daniel truly cares about you and makes you happy, then you have my approval." Ignacio said.

"He does and I care a lot about him too." Betty said confidently.

"Seeing the way he defended you, I have no doubt that what he said to me is true. And I'd like to have both of you over tonight, to make up for my behavior and apologize to him as well.'' Ignacio said.

"Sure, what time? I'm supposed to meet up with Daniel later, but we didn't set a specific time." Betty said.

"How about six?" Ignacio said looking at his watch and seeing that , that would give him enough time to head back to queens, and get dinner ready.

"I'm sure that will be fine. Will Hilda be there?"Betty asked thinking back to her sisters behavior and spiteful words.

"Yes, but she doesn't know I've invited you and Daniel over, I'm hoping you two will work things out as well." Ignacio said.

"And knowing Hilda, if she knew I was coming over, she'd make her self scarce." Betty said.

"Exactly...I'm sure she'll come around eventually." Ignacio said.

"I hope so." Betty said. She hoped her sister could come to see what her father had saw, that Daniel made Betty happy.

"I should go, I told Hilda, I was going to the store, she might get suspicious if I'm gone too long." Ignacio.

"Ok, thanks for stopping by Papi." Betty said smiling at her father.

"I'll see you tonight?" Ignacio said, hoping that his coming over had really made things better between them.

"See you tonight." Betty said then walked her father out. Even though he had apologized his words still hurt. It was like he didn't trust her judgment. Daniel wasn't the only one who had changed. Betty wasn't that shy, naive, person she was four years ago. She wondered when her family would see that.

She walked back over to the couch and after typing a sentence, which ended the assignment she was writing for the writing program she was in, she closed her computer and pulled out her cell. She hit speed dial number two, Daniel's cell , and waited as she heard it ringing.

"Hey Betty." Daniel said answering the phone on the first ring.

"Hey...so my dad was just over here." Betty said.

"Everything ok?" Daniel asked, he knew Betty hadn't spoken to him since the dinner.

"Yeah, he apologized for what he said about our relationship." Betty said.

"Really, I told you he'd come around." Daniel said.

"Yeah, and he invited us to dinner tonight, he wanted to apologize to you in person as well." Betty said then proceeded to tell Daniel, in full detail, all about her conversation with her father.

"Is Hilda gonna be a problem?" Daniel asked, he knew Betty's older sister was even more stubborn than her father.

"Maybe, hopefully she'll see what Justin saw, and what my dad realized." Betty said.

"I'm sure she will, and even if she doesn't I don't plan on going anywhere." Daniel said.

"I know." Betty said smiling at Daniel's devotion to her.

"So, should I pick you up, and we'll head to your dad's together?" Daniel said.

"Yeah,sounds like a plan, I should be ready by 5:30." Betty said.

"K, I'll see you then." Daniel said.

"Bye." Betty said then hung up the phone.

Betty stood up and stretched. Amanda hadn't been around much lately,she'd been spending most of her time with Mark, or this new guy she'd sort of been seeing, so the apartment was pretty quiet. Betty glanced at the clock and saw she still had about three hours before dinner at her dads.

She placed her computer on the table. Then after grabbing a bottle of water, she decided to take a nap. She'd need her energy, because after the last family dinner, she wasn't exactly expecting the best .

A/n: I know this is a bit short, but the next chapter will be the dinner at Betty's childhood home, one down one to go, will Hilda come around as well. Things will be speeding up a little after chapter 12 and I'll probably end this story at 15 chapters, so four after this and perhaps a epilogue, if y'all want it, thanks for reading and as always, a review/construct criticism is greatly appreciated.
