So You're Back From Outer Space
It felt good to be back on Earth again, but Simon had some mixed feelings about coming back home. He felt like a heel with the way he left. At Grace's graduation no less. His daughter had graduated from high school and he couldn't even stay for the whole thing. There were probably a dozen angry voicemails from Carol on his cell phone and another dozen from Sydney. Though he did deserve every single angry voicemail. That much he would admit to.

He managed to get inside the main building and to the door of Grace's room without anyone stopping him. He didn't even see any sign of Sydney or the godlings. Normally he would think it werid, but today he was thankful he didn't see any of them. he wanted to talk to Grace before anyone else.

He knocked on Grace's door.

	Grace opened up her door, expecting Syd or Zoey or one of the godlings. "Dad!" Her face broke out into a smile when she saw him, and she threw her arms around his neck. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Simon hugged Grace tightly and sighed with relief. He had been expecting a much worse greeting from his daughter. "I'm so sorry I had to leave like that. Can you forgive me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She had been a little hurt when he had left her, yes. And confused. But that didn't matter know. She had him back. "You bet," she said with a small smile. She just held onto him. "Why...did you go? If you don't mind me asking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-23 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Simon held on to her. She was his miracle and he knew he had to make this up to her. "There were things that needed to be taken care of." He gave her a small smile. "I am sorry I had to leave, but I'm back and I won't leave again unless I absolutely have to. I promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-06-23 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm glad that you're back, Dad." She rested her head on his shoulder. "We'll have to go out soon. I owe you one Father's Day lunch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-23 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm glad to be back too, honey. I wish I never had to leave in the first place." Simon smiled a little. "We'll go out today. I just need to take care of something first, then the rest of the day is yours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-06-23 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled up at him. "Okay. Do what you have to do and then we'll head out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-23 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	Simon smiled and kissed her forehead. "It's a plan. I won't be long." He hugged her again and then released her. He gave her another smile and left the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Having talked to Grace, Simon went in search of Syd. He knocked on her door. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-23 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Sydney had been in her room stretched out across the bed with a book. It was the one room in the building where she was guaranteed to get a few quiet moments. Though not so much now. "Come in," she said without looking up from her book. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-23 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Simon walked into the room, his hands in his pockets. "Hey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-23 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	That was not a voice she was expecting to hear anytime soon. She slowly looked up from her book and saw Him. She blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. "Hi." She wasn't quite sure what to make of this or how she felt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-23 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Simon paused. He knew what he wanted to say, but he wanted to make sure that he could say it right. "Hey there." He exhaled. "I'm sorry. For leaving like I did. It wasn't my call. Think you can forgive me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-23 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Sydney sighed. "Forgiving is easy," she said as she climbed up off the bed. "I don't know if I can do this...do us. If there is an us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-23 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Simon sighed. It was hard to say if there was an 'us'. They'd never really made it clear. "I understand," he nodded, "Honestly...it's your call. Do what you have to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-23 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Syd sighed. Part of it was from frustration. Simon had to be the most frustrating man on the planet to deal with. Or it seemed. "What do you want, Simon? I would like an 'us', but I don't like the random disappearing acts. I can't deal with someone just disappearing at random and not knowing when they'd be back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-24 12:12 am UTC (link)
	Simon rubbed his temples. "That wasn't my fault. I had no control over that. Trust me, I wouldn't have just up and left like that. It wasn't fair to you, and it was fair to Grace. I'm never letting anything like that happen again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-24 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"I know it wasn't your fault, Simon. I don't like standing there wondering what the hell happened and wondering when the hell you're coming back." A pause. "You didn't answer my question." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-24 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"I want there to be an 'us'. I do. But, I'm not sure if it's the best time, honestly. With just that everything that's been going on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-24 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Yup. Definitely one of the most frustrating man on the planet. There was a bright glimmer of hope and then it quickly died. "I want there to be an 'us'," she said. "I'm not even sure how to take that bit about not being the best time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-24 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Just with everything that's been going on...Grace coming into my life, Avery coming back into yours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-24 01:43 am UTC (link)
	"Do you honestly think things will quiet down? With this team? Seriously?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-25 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not saying stop to a halt. Just enough where we can have some...time to ourselves." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-25 12:09 pm UTC (link)
	"So you just want to put everything on pause for the time being?" she asked. She wanted to make sure she was understanding him correctly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-06-28 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Not saying that you're completely committed to me or anything. I just think we need to put this on hold for a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-28 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	Syd sighed. "Fine. Whatever." She totally expected him to go back to his Hollywood starlets and she could go back to her books. (Reply to this)(Parent)
