The results are in
Takes place shortly after this post

Grace had been staying with the Defenders for a couple of weeks now. She'd called her mom shortly after Simon said that he'd do any tests that she'd like. Needless to say, Carol wasn't happy with her daughter when she first called. Not all. Granted, Grace still wasn't too happy with her mother for keeping her father a secret all these years. The anger vanished a little, though, as spending time with Zoey and the rest of the Defenders almost made her forget how mad she was at her mom. Almost.

Earlier that morning, Grace got the phone call from the lab saying that the results of the paternity test were in. Butterflies in her stomach, Grace took a cab there, and got the envelope with the results before heading back to the Defenders Compound.

Her heart was beating a million miles a minute as she looked for Simon. She didn't want to open the envelope until she found him.

He had to be her father. He just had to.

Stopping at his bedroom door, Grace inhaled and knocked. "Simon? It's Grace. Are you there?" Her voice shook a little.

	"It's okay," she said, a small smile on her face. "It's a lot to take in at once...I guess." She bit her lip. "I don't know...I guess favorite foods, movies, what you like to do in your spare time...I really don't know where to begin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He chuckles and hides his eyes. "Too many, though I don't need to eat any more. Too many movies, but my favorite type are Warner Brothers cartoons. Spare time...I don't have a lot of it. I..." He trips over the words. "I date. I mean," he laughs, but it's a sad laugh. "I am 'the rebound guy.' Otherwise, I work out, watch movies, occasionally fix something." He shrugs. "For a movie star, I'm not that interesting."

	"I think you're interesting," she said. A pause. "I like Tweety Bird." She didn't really know what else to ask right now... the words were in her head, but she just couldn't get them all together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He knows the feeling. "There's one other thing you should know then while we get our heads around this." He straightens. but his voice is slightly shaky. "I think I explained that I thought I couldn't have children. You should know...Even though I'm not good at it, all I ever wanted was a family, Grace. I might not be the parent you always wanted. I'll try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace gave him a small smile. "I've never had a dad, so I'm not entirely sure what to expect myself. We're just going to have to...work on it as we go along, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She won't take you back. Not until we get this resolved." After that, silence just kind of hangs in the room. "Sorry...I keep saying that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay..." She shuffled her feet a little. "This is a little...complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is," he admits," but at least it's not boarding school, right?" Like he had been shipped off to growing up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No." A small laugh. "Though Mom has threatened me with that a couple of times. All girls, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Never going to happen." This is a personal point. Carol...God damn it, she knows how I feel about those places. He thinks maybe it was a way to strike back at him somehow, but the more likely answer is that the teen's not telling him something. "I will sue for custody before it happens."

He shakes his head. "I'll explain at some point. Meanwhile, I think you might as well get settled for a longer stay. I don't want to shove you out of here, but I think we both have some thinking time to put in, okay?" God, he hopes this is the right and dad-type thing to say.

	She laughed nervously. "If it helps...I'm turning eighteen really soon?" She doesn't want things to get too ugly. She nodded. "Okay. I'll...talk to you later?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
