“Uh-” Shiloh hesitated, they hadn’t spent much together. She tried to avoid it actually but in the spirit of starting over she didn’t want to throw him out. “I wanna go with Hope next time she is with your family.”

“That’s a great idea. I’ll talk to my parents about it when I get home.” There was no doubt that they’d be excited. His parents had always emphasized the importance of family and Benjamin often wondered where he strayed off the path. Ben gathered his keys and wallet off of the table. “This was nice. Have a good night Shi. I’ll see you this weekend.”

Shiloh soften a bit, feeling like she had scolded him enough plus he was being very cooperative which she wasn’t used to from him. “Start over?” Shiloh questioned taking a beat to think about it. “Yeah- I guess things would be better that way.”

“I really think so too. For all us.” Ben glanced at his phone and noticed it was getting late. He rarely spent time lingering after putting Hope in bed. This was the longest conversation he had with Shiloh in what felt like awhile. “Should I go and let you get along with the rest of the your evening now?”

shiloh-webb :

Shiloh took her hands and ran them through her hair, she wanted this. She wanted him to be part of Hope’s life but she really didn’t trust him. Especially if he couldn’t abide by the simple rule. At the very least he finally told his family, and she is meeting the other side. The best part of Benjamin was his family and Hope deserved that. “Don’t let it happen again,” she finally said after a long pause. 

Benjamin nodded. It was difficult dealing with the consequences of his stupidity and youth. Although Ben was well aware that he deserved it. “I don’t know if I’ve ever expressed this to you Shiloh... but I would give up anything to keep Hope in my life. And I am trying to be a better father and support you as much as I can in this journey. I’m sorry that I’ve behaved differently in the past. Can we maybe press the re-start button? You know no grudges, no bad feelings, minimal mistakes.”

shiloh-webb :

Shiloh took a deep breath, trying to not get mad- at least not get mad that he’s dating. They are not together and haven’t been for awhile now, but it still was like a kick in the vag that he was moving on before her. “Innocent,” She huffed. “I don’t get on your ass about a lot of things, but we have this rule for a reason! Has your family even met her now? Before this innocent encounter.”

“You are right and I’m sorry. I know there is a reason. I mean it was really dumb of me since I doubt that there is any sort of serious relationship growing -” Ben cut himself off before he said anything regrettable. He sighed, not in exasperation with Shiloh but with himself. It felt as if even when Benjamin tried to do what he thought was right he was simply incapable of it. He felt lucky that Shiloh even allowed him in Hope’s life. It was stupid to jeopardize that. “Yes. I took her to my parent’s last weekend and the one before. I’m trying to fix it.”

shiloh-webb :

“Excuse me?”

“Shi - I. I know you asked me not to have other woman around Hope because it creates an unstable environment and all that but I swear I wasn’t expecting her to come over. We just had dinner anyways, it was entirely innocent.”

shiloh-webb :

Shiloh took Hope in arms from Benny and gave him a brief smile. “Nice, my day was okay. Just pretty much cleaned all day. So I guess you told your parents about Hope if Julie knows about her.”

“The house looks good.” Benjamin wished he had a logical reason for holding off on telling his parents about Hope. The truth was he’d been prolonging facing reality and that always made for bad decisions. “Yeah, I told them a month or so ago. My dad wants to have both you and Hope over soon. Says he has some bonding to catch up on.”

[theleroybunch]

“We went to the park with Julie today. She’s tired, my bet is that she’ll be asleep by the time I pull out of the driveway. How was your day?”

‘friad not baby sis. I know Willow is cool that’s why I love her. Maybe when I have a vacation and can actually show you around the city you can come.

Are you punishing me for almost lighting aunt Paige’s date on fire? Because leaving me here feels like a punishment. That is amazing. Love seems so amazing. Okay! I am holding you to that.

leroychildren :

Love you guys but time to get back to reality, I’ll miss you.

Can’t you stay for a few more days? Willow is so cool. Can I go with you to New York? I have saved enough money in my piggy bank to afford a plane ticket.

I have a certain bias because he helped raise me, and I’m glad he’s still around. Although he seems lonely sometimes. Some pixar film, I can’t remember the title.

Maybe I’m biased because he always takes us out. According to my mom our grandpa has been lonely since my grandma died. I think it’s because soulmates are irreplaceable and unforgettable.

“Benny! I- Natalie took a moment to breath. She had a grandchild, she knew she wanted to be a grandmother some day and even though she didn’t expect it so soon- she couldn’t deny the fact that there was a kid out there that was partly hers. “Do you we get to meet her?”

"Yeah. The next time I'll have her is in a week." Benny felt guilty now for waiting so long. What was he worried about? Hope deserved to know her grandparents. They deserved to know her no matter how strained the relationship with Benjamin was. "She's two."
