With John's military job and the adventures of co-parenting, his days are pretty full. Of course, sparing some time to enjoy the smaller things. For example, his 5 year old daughter. A world of glitter glue and sparkling stickers take over their nights when Maddison enters into the world as a kindergartener. While John has opened himself to love, he's never truly experienced it. Join John during parent teacher conferences, awkward dinners, and as he and Simon both learn the do's and don'ts of parenthood.
"Text me when you make it home" I tell him. I give him a kiss, opening the door for him. "Can I also get a kiss for my drive to work?" he asks, I roll my eyes, giving him another. "And for all the work I'm gonna have to do" he adds on. My face changes to a disappointed look. "Simon-" I say, "I have a lot of people to deal with, and most of them are assholes" he explains. I kiss him one more time, shoving him through the door. "And one more thing" He mentions. I sigh, holding the door, "Yes?" I say. I watch as a small smile grows on his face, "I love you Johnny".
