Guardian Angel, Part 6
Maxie could not believe her eyes. Her father was actually standing at the door. Her shock could not match that of her mother's though. Felicia had actually lost the blood in her face. "Well?"Frisco asked. "Isn't anybody going to say anything?" Maxie finally spoke up by saying,"Dad! It's great to see you!" She then ran to give him a huge hug. Felicia finally got enough composure to say,"Why don't you come in,Frisco?" He then entered the house,commenting on the surroundings. "This is a nice place you have,Felicia." "Thank you,"Felicia said quietly. This was a bit surreal. "Why are you here,Frisco?" "Well,"Frisco said while sitting in a chair facing her,"I have something to tell you." "What?"Felicia said nervously. She wasn't sure how much more surprises she could take. "I have left the Bureau."
Lucky was on Felicia's front step ready to ring the doorbell. He thought back to last night,and he wondered how he could not have had a more wonderful night. He actually went to sleep last night dreaming of Maxie. He smiled,ringing the doorbell,only to be met by Felicia. "Hi."he said smiling. "How are you Felicia?"he asked. "Lucky,this isn't the best time."she said. "Is something wrong with Maxie?"he asked immediately getting worried. "No,no. Maxie is fine. It's just that we've had a bit of a surprise today,that's all." "Oh,ok. How was Texas?"he asked her. "It was fine." "Hey,is that Luke's boy?"Frisco called in the back. "Tell him to come on in." Felicia let him in,and was immediately welcomed by Maxie,who he kissed hello. He then saw frisco,and stopped dead in his tracks. "Hi,Frisco."Lucky said a bit nervously. "Hey boy,'Frisco said smiling,"how are doing?" "Never been better."Lucky said,holding Maxie's hand. Frisco smiled at the look his little girl gave Lucky,and the look he gave back to her. He remembered feeling that way once.
"So,"Frisco started,"how long have you been in love with my daughter?" Lucky looked in Maxie's eyes before saying,"When I first saw her,but I didn't realise it until recently." Maxie blushed then responded by saying,"And I have loved you for as long as I can remember." Frisco smiled,but Felicia was a bit concerned. It wasn't that Lucky was a bad person,far from it,but with Helena and now Stavros,it was just a matter of being worried for her daughter. Frisco broke into her thoughts by saying,"Remember when we were like that?" "Yes,I do,but it seems like a life time ago." "It doesn't have to be."he said,taking her hand. Lucky and Maxie looked up,and smiled. "We had our first date the other night,Frisco."Lucky said. he then proceded to tell Frisco the chain of events that have led them to now.
Frisco leaned forward,and listened with interest as Lucky told him about what had happened. He then sat back in his chair and said with all seriousness,"Lucky,"he began,"you seem like a fine young man who is the perfect combination of both of his parents,if I remember them correctly."Lucky smiled as Frisco continued,"But as you know this is my daughter. I love her more than life itself. I want you to take care of her,and love her with every fiber of your being,just like I do her mother."Frisco said while glancing at Felicia. "I assure you Sir,"Lucky began,"I would never hurt Maxie for anything in the world. I would sooner take my own life than see her harmed,and I would fight for her until I draw my last breath I assure you." He then looked deeply into Maxie's eyes and said,"I love her that much." Frisco and Felicia looked at each other for a long moment before speaking up. "Well,"Frisco said,"I think I speak for both of us when I say that you have our blessing. "Really?"Maxie said,excitement sparkling in her eyes. "Absolutely,sweetheart."Frisco said,smiling. Felicia nodded,and smiled. "But"Felicia said to Lucky,"Is it ok if I talked to your mother about this?" "Sure."Lucky said. "Well,"Frisco said,standing,"why don't you kids go out and have a good time while we have a few things to talk about." He then gave Lucky some money. "Have some fun. On me." Lucky smiled,then left and walked out with Maxie hand in hand.
