After arriving home Johnathan tells me bye and kisses me on the cheek. I smile at him and head into the house as he makes his way to the side gate with Manuel.I barely got a chance to walk into the house before Lucy attacked me wanting to know everything about my date. Of course, she was upset we ended up at a burger joint instead of a sit-down restaurant.But when Juan told her he completely understood and that was where he was eating lunch the next day she let me off the hook. Even though she would like for me to get over my fear of intimacy she understands it will take me a while before I am ready to let anyone that close to me again.I know deep down that is why all my relationships fail. Every time I have been with someone long enough and we get to that part of our relationship I freeze up. One because of the last time...two because Tristan didn't stop it from happening.My therapist said it was because of the fact I expected Tristan to save me and he didn't he just walked away.
KPOVAfter having my cry on Hikaru's shoulder I contacted Juan and let him know that the procedure would take place ASAP. He didn't waste any time getting everything set up to take my father into surgery.Luckily Joann had already made sure everything was the way that Hikaru liked his O.R. She agreed with me the room I picked was the one where Hikaru would feel the most comfortable.I made sure to text all the neurosurgeons on staff to let them know the procedure was taking place so they could watch it and learn from Hikaru. Unlike most hospitals that only had observation rooms in certain O.R.'s, we had one in all O.R.'s.The only difference was if the lead doctor, as well as the patient, didn't want anyone observing we just locked the observation room. I walked in as Joann was explaining the procedure to the family.She turned and smiled at me "Dr. Garza pleasure as always are you working with Dr. Bunoka on this case." I just shook my head and knew the family would want someone in t
"I wish we would have listened." The voice brought me out of my head and I turned to see my father awake. "Good your awake. I will go and get your doctor." "Katrina stop. Please let me talk to you." "Ok, first answer this question for me." "Ok, I will answer whatever you want Katrina." "Why didn't you change your will after disowning me?" I watched him take a deep breath and look around at everyone. "Because I knew what really happened after you moved in with your grandparents." I looked around at the stunned faces as tears started to spill. Luckily Hikaru walked in at that moment. "Katy, what's wrong?" He engulfed me in his arms glaring at everyone "what did you do to her? Haven't you all put her through enough.""It's Ok. Hikaru." I turned to my father still in Hikaru's arms "why, didn't you ever come forward?" "Wait what is going on Sanbimu?" "My father knew before I left for London." He glared at my dad "you left her alone knowing what really happened." "I had to. I already lost o
"Yes, please, dad. I would really enjoy reading them." I smiled really big when Juan and Lucy walked in looking around "where are the rest of them?" Juan glared around as my dad looked at him "I asked them to leave so I could talk to Katrina and explain everything.I want to thank you, Juan, for taking care of my girl. I hated not being able to contact her after what she went through but know I couldn't lose my other children not knowing if Katrina would ever forgive me."Juan looked at me and raised his eyebrow at me and I giggled and quickly explained everything. He smiles "well that explains why he never changed his will."The five of us talked about what had been going on in our lives with my dad and I couldn't help but laugh when Juan told my dad about what I did to Margret and he just smiled "that's my girl.When do you plan on talking to the rest of the family?" "I don't know dad. They have all been so rude and hurtful I just can't." "OK but please don't just push them away.No
"Yeah, but Trina. Uhm, you might want to consider letting Tristan talk to Justin about man stuff." I glared at him "I know that you are not happy with him and do not trust him but he is his father and he wants in his life. Yes, what he did was wrong but..." "Look, I will let my dad talk to him and I will talk to Tristan." "I know you are still hurt by them, but you need to let it go." I glare at him "Hikaru said the same thing." "Well, he is right. Oh, and Hikaru said not to worry about dinner tonight since you had a date that Justin fixed you up with and we all were too tired and forgot. He said we can do dinner tomorrow or another night." I smiled and watched the two of them leave my room. I couldn't help but think that the main reason he is trying to talk me into talking to Tristan is that now that he is going to be a father he wants Justin to have his father in his life. I just wasn't sure how to let go enough to allow Tristan into Justin's life. Hell Willamina has alr

"Yeah, I guess." "So, does this mean we can try to be us?" I take a deep breath "no Tristan this means we can be friends. Unfortunately, I still stand behind what I said earlier. You will need to prove to me that you will not go against my rules. If there is a rule you do not agree with we can discuss it and decide what is best. I do not want Justin using us against each other. I doubt he would do that but you never know this is the first time he will have two parents. As for the men that helped me with him growing up they did not make the rules and they follow them with no questions asked." "Ok, I agree. As for what happened last night I am not happy and told my mom how I felt. She wasn't happy I agreed with you simply because my club is no place for a fifteen-year-old boy. Hell, he has no business in any club that caters to adults. Now there are clubs that cater to teens but I am not sure how I feel about those I would rather he not go to a club period." I giggled "well
Hearing Justin call me dad filled my heart. I also couldn't believe he snorts when he laughs hard as well. I look at him and smile "yeah, your mom used to call me her little piggy." He started laughing and sure enough, he snorted, and before I knew it we were both laughing our butts off." After we composed ourselves I looked at Justin and took a deep breath. "I should tell you that I agree with your mother about last night. I would not have allowed you into the club what your grandmother did last night was wrong for three reasons. One you are a minor and had no business in a club meant for adults. Two she knew your mother was not comfortable yet letting you be around us and I don't blame her. After everything, we have done and said about her behind her back and to her face,I can't blame her for wanting to keep you away. Three you broke rules that you knew were in place and I know you told your grandmother since she explained to me she convinced you to sneak out." I watched
