You're Out Daddy

Benjamin, Anthony, and Denise sneaked into the room.

“If Mr. Lynch is acting like that, does it mean he’s chasing after Mommy?” Benjamin asked.

Denise nodded. “That’s how things usually play out in the television show.”

Anthony didn’t say anything because it was pretty obvious.

“What do we do? Do we go along with it or stop it?” Benjamin asked.

The other two stayed silent.

“Why aren’t you two saying anything?” Benjamin asked.

“Err, I quite like Mr. Lynch. He’s so handsome. But… I also like Mr. Handsome. What if he’s Daddy? I don’t know who to pick.” Denise was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Benjamin wasn’t counting on Denise to get an answer, so he turned to Anthony. “What about you, Tony?”

“I’m neither going along nor against it,” Anthony replied.

“What does that mean?”

“Putting aside the fact that we don’t know if Kenneth is our daddy or not, even if he is, why did Mommy leave him in the first place? If Mommy really doesn’t like him, do we really want to make her stay with him because it’ll make us happy? As for Mr. Lynch, if he can make Mommy happy and is stronger than Daddy, then I’ll accept him.” Anthony had really thought things through, as expected from the eldest sibling.

Benjamin nodded. “I understand what you mean.”

“So, we’ll see who Mommy picks. Regardless of who it is, as long as Mommy likes him, I’ll accept him.” Anthony expressed his opinion.

Benjamin nodded. “I agree with that.”

Denise thought for a bit and also nodded. “I agree too.”

Benjamin turned to Denise. “I know you like Kenneth, and whether he’s our daddy or not isn’t a fact we can change. You can continue to like him, but don’t force them together because of what we want. It won’t be good for anyone involved.”

“I understand.” Denise nodded.

Then Benjamin turned to Anthony. “Still no news from Kyle, Tony?”
