Mr. Solomon's POV
Could this really be happening? Could this really be little Meghan? Of course it was. I already knew that. There was no denying it. I just couldn't believe John had let her come here after I had specifically told him not to bring her here! John Phyle. I hadn't seen him since Sarah died. I still felt horrible about putting such a burden on him, but what was I supposed to do? He already had Chris to take care of, and I had my job. I was still going on missions and I just couldn't deal with it. It all happened so fast.
I was on a mission in Nigeria when I got the news about Sarah's death. We had only been married three years, and I had lost her. I knew it was irresponsible for both of us to go on missions at the same time with Meghan just born, but I felt like I didn't have another option. I mean, when the director of the CIA hands you a mission you can't just say 'no'. Meghan was just five months old when Sarah died, and didn't really understand that her mom had just died. As soon as I got back from that mission I knew that a spy's life was not what I wanted for my daughter. There's too much danger and heartache and all I wanted to do was protect her.
But now she was here, and there was nothing I could do about it.
What was Meghan going to do when she found out? No. She couldn't find out. I had to talk to Rachel.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, a bit louder then I had intended.
"I didn't want to worry you." Rachel Morgan, the headmistress of Gallagher, and also a close friend said.
"You didn't want to worry me?!?! My daughter, who I might add I haven't seen in 16 years, is now attending Gallagher? I never wanted her to become a spy. You know that!"
"Joe. Calm down. We don't want anyone to hear, do we?" I shook my head. "Listen. John called and asked if she could attend. What was I supposed to do? Say 'no'?"
"Yes." I said
"Just listen to me. She knows now about Gallagher. Though, she doesn't know that you are her father yet. Are you going to keep that from her?" I looked down. "She deserves to know."
"Well, what am I going to do? Just have a casual conversation and slip in the fact that I'm her father? The only way that that can end is badly."
"I'm just saying that if I were her I would want to know the truth. A spy has enough lies to deal with in their lifetime. Don't make this be one of them. You're making this harder than it has to be, and you're being selfish. Think of Meg, for once. What would she want?"
Author's Note: OK. So did you like it? Please review! It makes me smile . Sorry that Mr. Solomon was a bit out of character, but it had to happen for the story. Hope you liked it!
