Journey Maker doesn't own Yugioh

Chapter Two

After Solomon left, Joey and Serenity got their things into their rooms, then Serenity approached Joey and asked, "can we just talk. I'm really scared why after all this time he wants to talk to both of us." Joey smiled and reached out his hand and as Serenity put her hand in his, he said, "lets go out and sit on the floor like we use to and talk."

As they talked Joey asked, "what happened to mom, you never wrote to let me know." Tears filled her eyes and she took a deep breath and told him, "when she got really sick, I begged her to let dad know, but she just laughed and said, "hell he wouldn't give a damn if I lived or died. Then she made me promise to never let you know. I'm so sorry, but when she got so sick I couldn't break my word."

Joey went over and pulled her into his arms and whispered, "don't cry, if someone I loved ask me to keep a promise, I know that I would." They talked for a while, then Serenity yawned and Joey smiled, then he got really up and helped her get up, then he walked her to her room and said, "get some sleep, if you need to talk to someone, I'm just next to yours." She hugged him and gave him a kiss on his cheek and as she went inside she said, "goodnight see you in the morning." Joey went to check the doors and windows, then he went to his room and got some sleep.

As Joey laid staring at the ceiling he said a silent prayer that tomorrow nothing would cause his sister any pain. He"d make damn sure that their father would wish he'd never want to see them again. Closing his eyes he drifted off to sleep. There was a light knock on his bedroom door that woke him. Looking at his watch he couldn't believer it was morning. He got up and when he opened his door, he smiled at her, and then he said., "do you want pancakes with bacon and eggs?" Serenity yawned as she shook her head yes. After breakfast they got ready and when Solomon knocked, they all walked over to listen what their father had to tell them. As they walked to their father's house, Serenity held tightly onto Joey's hand, he smiled at her and squeezed her hand and softly whispered, "don't worry, I'm here and I'll make sure that you'll be fine."

Solomon knocked on the door, and an older woman opened it and smiled at Solomon and said, "come in, he'd expecting you." Solomon thanked her and said, "Rose, this is Hank's son and daughter. Joseph and Serenity, this is Rose she is the Hospitce Nurse who is caring for Hank until he passes." Rose smiled and said," it's nice to finally meet you both, he talks about his kids and how proud he is." Follow me, he's excited to see you both."

Joey wasn't sure this was such a good idea, but he held onto Serenity's hand as they followed Rose down the hall. As she opened the bedroom door, they weren't ready to see their father in the condition he was. Rose walked over and gently touched his arm and softly said, "Hank, your kids are here and so is Solomon." Rose walked over and raised the head of the bed. Hank opened his eyes and looked at his kids, tears filled his eyes. He coughed twice, then he said in gravely voice, "Joseph, is that really you?" Joey .moved closer to the bed and he said, "yeah, it's me. Serenity's here too." Hank looked at Serenity as if she wasn't even there. "Who are you, I never had a girl, did I?" Joseph was ready to beat the hell out the bastard, because was making his sister cry.

Solomon stepped between Joseph and Hank. He said, "Joseph, your father has prostrate cancer and sometimes he doesn't know what he's saying, lets go and let your father rest." As they left and went back to the house that they are using. When they got inside, Serenity ran to her room and slammed the door. "What in the hell is wrong with that man?" Joey demanded. Solomon walked over to Joseph and said, "I really don't know, but I'm going back and I swear I'll find out. I'll talk to you later, please help Serenity know that Hank wasn't in his right mind." Then Solomon left, and Joey opened her door and went in, she wed curled into a ball. She had been crying, Joey went over and curled around her and just held her and they went to sleep.

Solomon went back to Hank's house, he used his key, he opened the door and walked down to his bedroom and he went inside and looked at Hank and demanded, "what is wrong with you, you have a daughter, I've see her pictures. Why tell that precious young lady that she's not your daughter?"
