Please forgive me

Dorrin got up like any other Tuesday morning and went into the bathroom to get ready for school, she had gotten little sleep that night but was exited to be going to school, she liked school, she liked everything about it, she had friends and there was this cute boy, but she wasn't aloud to date but that didn't mean she couldn't look right? She went down to the kitchen and saw Jack and Ennis at the table one reading the paper and the other going through papers.

"Hi."

Ennis looked up from the newspaper.

"Hey sweet heart, yah sleep okay?"

"yeah alright I guess, hey daddy."

Jack looked up from the papers and gave a smile.

"Sorry honey, sleep good."

"Yeah fine. So I'm going to make my lunch and then I will be going."

"Alright honey."

Jack looked at Dorrin and then said

"I want you to eat something, your gettin to skinny."

"Fine, apple?"

"Sure as long as you eat it."

She got her things ready and put on her winter jacket and boots apple in hand, waved at her dads.

"Bye."

"Bye." They said at the same time.

When she got to class there was a new student Lucy Beers, Dorrin sat in her seat, Lucy followed her and introduced herself.

"Hi I'm Lucy, Lucy Beers."

"Hi Lucy, I'm Dorrin."

"Just Dorrin?"

Dorrin hated this part she hated that her last name was like a mile long, she hated having to explain the reason, she already did it about a million times before, but she put on her smile and said.

"Dorrin Twist Delmar."

"Wow that's a long last name, your dad from a different country or something?"

"No Twist is my dad's last name and Delmar is my dad's last name."

Most of the town knew about Ennis and Jack and to be truthful everyone seemed to be okay with it, they were treated the same as everyone else in there town.

"Oh I see, you dad sure has a long name."

"No, you don't get it, I have two dads."

"Two?"

"Yeah two."

"Well I sure am sorry for getting all in your business, sorry, I'm just a bit nosy I guess."

"Its alright, were yah from Lucy?"

"Wyoming."

"Oh yeah my dads from there."

"Yeah I know, Ennis Delmar."

"What how did you know that?"

"My cousins are his daughters."

Meanwhile back at the Twist Delmar ranch

Ennis got back from the barn to get some screws and noticed that the answering machine was beeping; he went over to it and pushed the button.

"You have one new message."

"Hi umm daddy its me Junior, I was hoping to get you before you left but I must have been a little late on my timing, I wanted to say……. I wanted to say I'm sorry for what I said, I mean it I wish I never said any of it and I … I take it back all of it every single word, I wish I hadn't said it and I wish most of all I wasn't so stubborn, I wish I didn't lose all of the years I've lost, I wish I could see you, I wish I was a better person, I love you daddy, bye.

Ennis couldn't breath he couldn't think and before he knew it he was once again dialling the numbers that would get him to his girls.

"Hello."

"Ennis?"

"Alma, tell Junior to call me right after school I got to talk to her."

"Ennis ya'll haven't talked ever, what could you have to say."

"Alma just do it please."

"Alright Ennis I will, good bye."

"Bye."
