Boston's Burning
Part 26 Wake Up Call
The smell of fresh coffee and food finally brought everyone into the main dining area individually and in pairs. There were a few yawns as it was early but everyone seemed in relatively good spirits. Faith noted that Kennedy looked smug and relaxed a sure sign the girl had gotten lucky last night and probably this morning as well if Red's blushes were anything to go by. Damn I so hate being single she thought. She looked over at Sean and wondered how the big guy be in the sack. Her clear look over got her a glare from Paddy. Faith merely chuckled and winked then gave him a head nod toward Hope. It was saying I'm simply a chip off the old block. She was surprised when Paddy simply sipped the coffee he had been handed by the butler.
Buffy giggled and decided Faith having a father was going to be really, really entertaining. Faith scowled at that. It had been years since she had any kind of parental authority and she sure as heck did not need or want it at this point. She glanced over at her sister who was smiling.
"What's that smile for Dr. Isles?" She was still not too comfortable with calling her big sis by name. She was so different and above her.
"It's Maura -Faith I am your sister. I was just thinking that with you here perhaps Paddy won't be so obsessed with me."
Paddy growled at that. "I would not count on that daughter. I love you all the same. I may have not done the best job of keeping you all safe in the past however that changed now. You are all my children and I am not letting anyone or anything hurt you, Faith, Matty, Sean or even Caylin. I lost Collin I won't lose another child. I may not be the best father out there but I am protective and I will destroy anyone who would hurt that which is mine."
There was a rather stunned silence at this outburst none really knowing what to say. Hope was shocked to hear him include Caylin in the mix however a small part of her was thrilled. Paddy was many things but one thing he had proven was he would do anything to protect Maura and if that protection now went to Caylin she would take it regardless of how she sometimes wanted to shoot the man. He would keep his word.
"Ah Maura maybe teasing your old man not to wise; he loves you dearly and would do anything to keep you safe." Korsak said. He might have some issues with Paddy Doyle but the man was protective. So protective that he trusted his daughter's associates back before they become family. Yes he had a code and strangely enough that though comforted Korsak. He'd accepted that Paddy's code had its own morals and rules and sometimes, sometimes they were the same as his own. Protect your family.
