Kitty: ...True. But I'm not as extreme as you.

Kitty: It's not going to be, because you are here. Maybe not physically, but it's obvious that you always think about her and I've tried to involve you so much. I know, I was mad and insulted when they suggested it back then, but I get it now. Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Seriously? Don't be that dad. Trust me, they're the worst when you're a teenager. She's going to need heartbreak in her life and where you and I come in is to support and comfort her.

Kitty: Don't. I mean, you were around her for two weeks, but I saw you and you love her. There are probably three people I completely trust her alone with, and that's my mother, my sister and you. You obviously want the best for her, you've gone out of your way to make sure that you didn't disappear out of her life while you finish school. You've put her first. A good father does that.

Hunter: I went to military school. What else do you expect of me?

Hunter: It had nothing to do with you and everything to do with mistakes I had made in the past. I just can't have and won't let anything happen to her. A year ago I was sure I could never love a human being so much but she's proved me wrong. If someone breaks her heart I'm breaking their face and that's a promise. Yeah, I'm one of those dad's and damn proud of it.

Hunter: Thank you. People question how I could leave like that and school, my job-- all of that is to ensure that Juliet has the best life possible. And for you, on some level. I don't want her or you to go through a struggle when I know I'm capable of providing so much more. And I know you're more than capable to do it yourself but you're apart of her so that means I will take care of you too. We might not get along but we'll always survive.

Kitty: Oh lord, does this mean she'll also grow up to be hard-headed and stubborn?

Kitty: One day, when she can understand, she'll be proud. Of course. I didn't want them around at first but, they got bearable when the DNA results proved that Juliet was your daughter. They do, I can tell. Plus, Soph would probably have killed me if I'd kept her away from Juliet. Haha, she's going to grow up sooner or later. First, it'll be walking, and before we know it, she'll be going to school, having sleepovers, maybe a boyfriend. I remember. I found it amusing as well.

Hunter: As if you aren't both of those things as well.

Hunter: I know, I know. I just don't want it to be daddy wasn't there for the first few months of my life. They mean well, Katherine. You can't blame them after everything I went through in the past. They were trying to protect me. Soph and I would have started a lynch mob. No, no boyfriends. I'm already prepared to be the father who sits outside with a shotgun. She's not getting anything but the best and I mean love too.

Hunter: ... Am I good dad? I know I'm far but... I question it.

Kitty: Oh, that. Yeah, she's gotten really good at giving the annoying cashier at Walmart that look.

Kitty: I know. I know how hard it must be, but I am trying to make you as involved as possible. I know it's not the same, but I'm trying. And when you come back for good, you'll be able to be around for all the milestones. Her first tooth, her first steps. You were there for her first laugh, remember?

Hunter: I taught her well then. Or maybe it runs in the genes.

Hunter: I just try to remind myself that I'm doing this for her. I know and I'm grateful for that. I'm also grateful you let my family be involved even after everything. They really do love her. Oh gosh, I don't even want to think about her walking. Why can't she stay a baby forever? I do. I was arguing with Sophia.

Kitty: Seriously. Never heard of it before.

Kitty: No, I get it. I don't like leaving her at your parents for the day, I don't even want to think about a month and a half. Not that there's anything wrong with your parents, I trust them but you know, I can't let my mind rest when she's away from me.

Hunter: Equivalent to the Hunter Clarington glare.

Hunter: Imagine how I feel everyday. I want to be there with her and see all this myself. Not live it through pictures, videos and phone calls. I guess it's a good thing that in just a few months I'll be home for good so I don't have to think about this anymore.

@HunterJClarington Everything about her is perfect. Just a week and a half more, princess and daddy will be home.

SmytheBastian: A week a half until your balls drop too, I hope. Christ, Clarington.

SOPHisticatedprincess: She’s so perfect! I’ll make sure to give her lots of kisses when I see her for you.

@LukeDaMan: I don’t know how many times I can say it but congrats, bro. You deserve the good.

HunterJClarington: @SmythetheBastian Have some respect, Smythe before I smack some into you. @SOPHisticatedprincess @LukeDaMan thank you both sincerely.

Kitty: The hell's a blue steel?

Kitty: In two weeks you'll see her, and you can come to my apartment first thing or I can bring her to your parents for when you arrive, and you two can have a wonderful time together while I catch up on a month's worth of sleep. Just hang on 'till then.

Hunter: Seriously?

Hunter: Two weeks is too long. Imagine being away from her near a month and a half. I never thought that that little-- nevermind. I don't even know why I'm telling you any of this.

Kitty: She always does.

Kitty: You can do it. You're smart, just focus, and you'll be fine.

Hunter: That's my girl. She also gives a damn good blue steel.

Hunter: I can do it. I'm just tired and I'd rather be with Juliet.

Kitty: It was lovely, my mother made chicken pasta, she and my father humilated themselves trying to make Juliet smile and we had chocolate mousse for dessert. Other than that, it was same old.

Kitty: How was your day?

Hunter: Did she smile?

Hunter: It was the same as everyday. I had to work, go to class and study for midterms next week. If I weren't so close to graduating I'd just throw in the towel.

Hunter: How's dinner going? Or how did it go?

kitty-not-katherine:

Yeah, no problem, but don’t call between six-thirty and seven-thirty, my parents are coming over for dinner. You too. Learn stuff. 

Send them my best. Yeah, yeah I'll talk to you later.

kitty-not-katherine:

Yes, I know the protocol, thank you. I’ll get my computer running so you can Skype her tomorrow, just text me when you want to do that. 

I'll be sure to do that. Give her a kiss for me and I'll call you later on tonight to talk to her. You have a good day, Katherine.

kitty-not-katherine:

I have one scheduled for next Friday, at two pm, and don’t worry, I already organized it with Sophia. 

Alright, if you need anything or I need to know anything else then you can always call me as long as it pertains to Juliet.

kitty-not-katherine:

Ugh, whatever. Fine, just stop talking, please. Okay, whoever you don’t want Juliet around, she won’t be around and vice versa. Okay? Calm down, go have a pretzel or something. 

Thank you, that's all I'm asking for. Now back to the baby, when is her next check up? If I'm not there then I want my sister to go in my place.

kitty-not-katherine:

You still said it. Fine, but Rosalie had better know her place too. I don’t care how much you two love each other or whatever, I am Juliet’s mother and she is your girlfriend. She’s not Juliet’s stepmother, she’s not her aunt, she’s not anything. She just your girlfriend. 

Wait—- are we still children here? My god. If you must know, both Rosalie and I have agreed that it is in the best interest of Juliet if she gets as minimal contact with her as possible. I never planned on bringing her around our child but I didn’t feel you needed to know they, just trust me but apparently that was seeking for too much.

kitty-not-katherine:

I’m not putting words in anyone’s mouth. I remember you saying that it should’ve been Rosalie. Whether you were being serious or spiteful, you said it once. But whatever. You can meet Ryder when you come down from Princeton and judge whether or not he’s allowed around Juliet. 

Since you want to remember things so clearly you must also remember that I said that at the beginning of this thing. Clearly my feelings have changed since then. Don't hold something against me that I said in anger because at the end of the day you're Juliet's mother and even if I wanted to I wouldn't change that for the world so just drop it right now Katherine. As long as Ryder knows his place then I don't care for him.

kitty-not-katherine:

Oh my god, you’re getting jealous, this is hilarious. Difference between Rosalie and Ryder is that Rosalie’s your girlfriend who you wish was Juliet’s mother, and Ryder’s just a friend who has seen her twice in her life, so I think I have more leverage here. 

I'm not jealous, I'm telling you my rights as a father and I think I have the right to ask whose been with my child when I'm not around. There you go putting words in my mouth. I never said I wanted Rosalie to be Juliet's mother. Contrary to what you may believe, as much as I can't stand you, I wouldn't ask for anyone else to be her mother because then Juliet wouldn't be Juliet and I'm grateful for that much. So don't sit here and assume that you know how I feel towards you or our situation because trust me you don't even know the half of it.

[kitty-not-katherine]

Thank God for John Mayer.

kitty-not-katherine:

Seriously? Okay, whatever, Ryder’s an old high school friend of mine, we dated for a bit, but it didn’t work out. He works at a local tyre store, he’s actually already an uncle, so he’s good with kids. And just so you know, I make him sit down when he holds her. 

That doesn’t mean anything to me. If you want to get into all that then Rosalie has two nephews and three nieces but you don’t see me letting her walk into Juliet’s life like that. I’m the only man who she should be getting to know and since I’m not around much at the moment I don’t want her getting used to someone else. Can you respect that much? I mean seriously Katherine.
