Joseph looked at his son and their eyes spoke. He nodded his head and reply nod came from Fred. He know how she is feeling on her dad coming back home whom she thought she had lost for ever.
"Hannah, are you angry with me?.. No baby no. I went to bring your grandparents to meet you dear. See who all are here. Your mom, grandma and grandpa. You are my sweet little treasure and be a good girl and greet your grandparents. I won't leave you and mamma ever again, okay'
She turned her head and saw her grandparents. Fred let her stand and her grandparents showered her with kisses ans hugs. But they all noticed one thing. She is still holding Fred's shirt tightly like she want to enjoy her grandparents love and affection but is afraid of her father leaving her.
Hannah: Daddy am hungry. I need to eat. I want that butter Scotch flavoured ice cream from that shop at the dead end of the road that we uses to eat.
Fred: Okay darling we can go.
Fred is also now comfortable playing her dad. The only one stood speechless was Lea. Sheila went to Lea and said " Dont feel bad, let her have the love and care of Dad and let him have the love and care from a daughter. He met with an accident some time ago and doctor declared that he will never have children again. Don't worry. You are now in our family. We are a complete family now."
They all went to the shop for food and she had her share of ice cream. Suddenly a little girl of Hanna's age walked in holding her father's hand. On seeing Fred, the father wished him and shook his hand. Suddenly the kid noted Hanna sitting on Fred's lap and having ice cream.
Kid: Hai Hanna
Hanna: Hai Ann, you here?. You see my dad. See. My dad is back. He went to bring my granpa and grandma. You said he is dead. How can a dead come back???. You liar.
Fred: Hannah, no, no such words, say sorry.
Hanna sulked but said sorry to Ann.
Ann's father asked Fred who they are. because he know Hanna's father has passed away.
Fred: My wife and kid and my parents.
Lea got another shock. But more shocked was but Sheila and Joseph. They just want things that way from the moment Hanna called him Daddy.
Lea rolled her eyes. Fred said aloud. " I wont hurt my little treasure any more. I won't leave her any more."
Lea was happy but she was sad. None could understand that situation.
