Why Is Life So Hard, Lizzy?, chapter 13
Thank goodness we were home, 'cause I slammed on the breaks.
"What?" I gasped.
"Will you marry me?"
Without a moments hesitation, I answered him back.
"Of course. I love you."
I kissed him and then we exited the car. He grabbed his things from the back seat, grabbed my hand and walked through the front door, with me. Pushing through the front door open, we immediately realized no one was in the living room.
"Wonder where they are" I said.
We went walking through the house and noticed everyone (Mom, dad, brothers, Mike, Tre, Brittany, 'Mona and 'Stelle), was in the backdoor.
"Wow, I missed these." Franky said.
"Ready?" I asked.
He turned to me and nodded. I took in a deep breath and we walked into the backyard. My dad looked at us, smiled, turned his head back to Tre, then immediately returned his gaze. He... Was... Ticked. He jumped up and started running toward us. I couldn't see anything or focus on anything but his gaze. It was raging. Thank god for mom's because my mom got to him before he got to us. Everyone in the yard turned to see what all the commotion was about, and all the conversation died down to a gut wrenching silence. No one moved. It seemed like an eternity before someone spoke. It was Tre
'Well, hot dog! My favorite son has returned to see his pop!" he said in a hill Billie voice, encircling a hug around Franky.
"To bad I'm your ONLY son, dad" Franky replied with a chuckle. Franky tightened his grip on my hand then cleared his throat.
"Ahem. If we could have everyone's attention, to sorta explain." Everyone circled.
"As you all are probably thinking, he probably snuck out or something to that nature. Wrong. I was officially released early this afternoon, thank to my beautiful gal, Liz. With her visit to the rehab center, all my unanswered questions were answered. The doctors took notice of my compassion and love for Liz and I used that to get better. Everything fell into place seeing her today, got me released from that place, to put into my past. We also have something to share... Me and Liz are to be married!"
Everyone gasped.
My father, he knew al along. He slowly walked to me and whispered "I thought something was up when 'Stelle came over here without you."
My eyes grew big and I dashed to 'Stelle, leaving Franky alone with my dad.
*Frankito's P. O. V. *
"So, ya think you can ask my daughter to marry you without my say so?" Billie Questioned.
"Uhm... I'm terribly sorry sir, with all due respect, it felt like the perfect time to ask her. I love your daughter VERY much."
"Did you love her when you were laying next to Estelle?"
My heart sank to the pit of my stomach.
"Sir... I'm... Yes."
"No, save it. You want me to give my blessings, I can't. I can't find myself to say it. Adie keeps telling me to let it go because Liz has, but you weren't there to pick up the pieces of her broken heart after you told her. I WAS! I was the one she came to, not you! You didn't have to look into her teary eyes every night, and tell her that it was going to be alright! I DID! I'm her father! I love Liz as my own flesh and blood. But, if you EVER hurt her again, so help me god you will be out of her life as fast as you can say "I'm sorry", do you understand me?"
Shocked, with the way Billie spoke to me, I mustered "Yes Sir", and he continued...
"And remember this, if you go and are about to do something stupid again, remember I HAVE NO PROBLEM GOING BACK TO JAIL!"
Billie slapped me on the shoulder, smiled, then walked off.
Next thing I know, I heard an earth shattering scream.
My fiancee... Is going in to labor!
