When they got back to Whatsername's apartment after the park, they sat Gloria down and told her the truth, that Johnny was her father. She sat there for a moment processing the news, but then she jumped off the couch and ran to Johnny, giving him a big hug. He laughed and hugged her back. She was so happy to finally meet her Daddy, and he was just happy that he could be a part of her life. Johnny stayed at the apartment a little while longer to spend some time with Gloria and catch up with Whatsername. They agreed for the three of them to meet up with Will and Tunny the next day to introduce them. At around eight o'clock, Johnny decided to leave. Gloria handed him a picture she drew, and he gave his daughter one last hug before saying goodnight, promising he would see her tomorrow. Then he did one of the hardest things he ever had to do in his life: he left her for the night.


Johnny still held Gloria's picture in his hand when he entered the apartment he shared with Will. Tunny used to live with them, until he moved out and got his own apartment with his girlfriend.

"What you got there, Johnny Cakes?" Will asked, seeing the picture in his hand. He took it from Johnny and examined it. "Who drew this?" he asked him.

"My daughter," Johnny calmly informed him while taking the picture back out of his hands.

"You have a daughter?" Will asked him incredulously. "Since when?"

"Since May 15, four years ago," Johnny told him, looking at the picture.

"Whoa. Why didn't you ever say something before?" Will asked.

"I just found out today." They were both silent for a moment. Will was just as shocked by this news as Johnny had been.

"What's her name?" he asked finally.

"Gloria." Will simply nodded his head.

"Are you, you know, happy about this?" he asked.

"Yeah," said Johnny. "I am."


The next day, Johnny went over to pick up Gloria and Whatsername at their apartment. When he got there, Gloria ran to him and hugged him. He picked her up and led them both down to his car. When they got back to his and Will's apartment, Tunny and his girlfriend were already there. Johnny hadn't told them why he asked them to come over, and from the look of surprise on their faces when they saw Johnny walk in carrying a four year old girl in his arms, he guessed that Will hadn't informed them either.

"Whoa, who's that?" Tunny asked, surprised.

"This is Gloria," Johnny told him. "She's my daughter." Tunny just stared in a shocked silence. Finally, the woman standing beside him broke the silence.

"Hi, my name is Christina," she said, extending her hand to Whatsername and smiling.

"Hi, my name is Naomi," she answered, returning the smile.

"Holy shit . . . You have an actual name?" Will said, with a completely serious look on his face, but Johnny knew he was joking.

"What?" she joked back. "I do? When did that happen?"

"Do you have a last name, too?" Tunny asked her.

"Yes . . ." she answered, becoming slightly confused by what they meant.

"What is it?" asked Tunny, doing his best to look surprised by the news.

"Marquez . . ." she said, looking to Johnny for an explanation.

"I'm sorry," he told her. "I don't know what is wrong with them exactly. All I know is that they need professional help and they refuse to get it, so . . ."

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with us," Will retorted. He then turned his attention to Whatsername. "After he came back from the city, he went on about this great woman he met, but never said anything about what your real name was. So poor Tunny and I had no choice but to assume you didn't have one." Tunny nodded in agreement with this, and Johnny let out a sigh.

"I see," Whatsername said. "And what makes you assume that I'm this girl from the city?"

"You match the description perfectly," Tunny told her. Whatsername laughed lightly and Johnny shot the two of them a look telling them to shut up. Christina rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, and turned her attention to Gloria.

"Hey, this is kind of awesome," Will said. "We should have, like, a playdate or something with our kids."

"Aw, Will," said Christina, somewhat teasing. "You're turning into an actual dad."

"Shut up," he retorted, and Christina snickered.

"Where is Christian?" Tunny asked.

"He's spending the week with Heather." Will looked somewhat resentful as he said that, but he soon got over it. The group spent the rest of the night at the apartment getting to know Gloria and Whatsername, until Gloria fell asleep on Johnny's lap, and he drove the two home.

A/N: Aw, Johnny's so cute as a daddy . . .
