This Was So Good!!

This was so good!! ❤️😭

Riley AU angst. Riley makes an off handed comment about her dad/inquires about her dad in front of Chimney and it brings up the dreaded conversation Maddie has been trying to avoid. Maybe even though she was only little when they left, Riley actually remembers more than Maddie thinks she does (kids are sponges and she's still young enough that she may remember, especially if it was at all traumatic).

“Do you have a daddy, Chimney?”

The question seemingly comes from nowhere and Maddie bites down on her lip as she sits up a little, glancing between her daughter who had been looking at her iPad and Chimney who had been immersed in the movie they were watching. She wants to tell him he doesn’t have to answer if he doesn’t want to but he looks over at her daughter as she looks at him with big, eager eyes and a curious look on her face.

“I kind of have two dads.” He finally settles on, a frown on his lips as he tries to find the words to explain it, whilst she gently puts her hand on the back of his. “I have the dad that I sort of grew up with but uh, we don’t really talk much anymore. He moved away to Korea when I was eleven and I haven’t seen him since in person. I speak to him on the phone sometimes but he’s not really… interested.”

Maddie knows it’s a lot more complicated than that and the five year old scrunches up her nose but slowly nods her head as though she understands. “What about your other dad?”

Whilst Chimney had been tense and apprehensive, he perks up at that, a smile on his lips, “Mr Lee, when my mom died I was just fourteen and I had nowhere to go. I couldn’t go to Korea and I didn’t want to, I wanted to stay here because this is home. And Mr and Mrs Lee took me in, Mrs Lee was my mom’s best friend and I lived with them for a long time. I don’t… see them much anymore. Their--well, my brother, he died… and they’re still really sad.”

Okay I know this is a S4 soundtrack thing, but one of my favorite songs now that I discovered from 9-1-1 is Love Someone by Lukas Graham. Had to say it.

Also thank you for making an edit with S4 soundtrack. I needed it!
