The Other Reagan Girl
Chapter 6: The Only Way Is Forward
Jamie pressed ignore on his phone, he didn't want Sydney back in his life. She made the call to break off their engagement because she couldn't handle him being a cop. He knew she hadn't changed her mind.
Jamie looked up when he saw Holly was upside down "you okay monkey" Holly nodded "you going to miss me when I go home?" Jamie looked at her "yes I liked having the company but I will see you on Sundays like normal and other days"
Holly sat next to him "Does grandpa want me?" Jamie was shocked by her question "of course he does, we all want you Holly, why would you ask something like that?" Holly held Joe's badge "he's not the same guy you guys see on a Sunday, he's busy during the week"
Jamie nodded "he has a very demanding job, so he can't always be there for you but you have great-grandpa" Holly nodded "but he's busy with his charity work and connected with his old police buddies"
Jamie held her "you miss having a dad figure" Holly cuddled up to him "yea, even Nicky has her father sometimes in her life" Jamie knew that it was Joe's last wish that Frank had custody of Holly; he wanted to honour his brother's wish. Holly was eating popcorn watching a movie; Jamie was in his kitchen on the phone to Frank.
"Hey dad it's me" Frank thought something was wrong "Hi Jamie, is everything okay?" Jamie looked over at Holly "Yea we are both fine, I need to ask you something dad" Frank swallowed some of his whiskey "go ahead son ask me anything" Jamie couldn't believe he was thinking this "is Holly happy with you guys" Frank knew what was going on "what has Holly said to you Jamie?" Jamie sighed "just that she misses having someone there for her and that you aren't the same guy we all see on a Sunday"
Frank knew this was all true, he had been waiting for his conversation with Holly and he had hoped Jamie as well "Took you long enough son, I've been waiting for his conversation" Jamie was confused "you have?" Frank smiled at Henry who was sitting next to him "I will explain everything on Sunday when you guys come round; then Holly won't be unhappy anymore"
Jamie looked at Holly "Holly needs the conversation now dad, I can't see her cry again" Frank looked at Henry who nodded "it's time Francis" Frank nodded in agreement "Bring her over tonight Jamie and we'll talk about what's going to happen"
Jamie handed Holly her jacket "c'mon we're gonna go have a little talk with grandpa" Holly looked at him "is he angry at me?" Jamie kissed her forehead "No Hols, he's going to explain to us what's really going on, I know for a fact that we could have sorted out our friendship in a few hours on a Sunday"
They got into Jamie's car "buckle up" Holly looked at him "Uncle Jamie, I think grandpa has a plan for us" Jamie smiled "I think he does too, but no matter what is said tonight Holly, it is still your choice"
Jamie pulled up at Frank and Henry's place, Jamie had always thought of this house as a safe place, a sanctuary for him but now he was kind of afraid of what was going to be said but he knew that they all had Holly's best interest at heart.
The two of them walked inside, Frank and Henry were sitting waiting for them, Holly looked at them "Hi grandpa" Frank hugged his granddaughter "hey sweetheart" Henry noticed that Holly seemed almost back to her old self and that reason was because she had been spending time with Jamie.
