After the initial shock wore off, Steve took a second to recompose himself. That was a lot his youngest daughter just dropped on him and while he did feel about missing out on parts of her life because of his work, he wasn't about to let this be a one-sided conversation.
He crossed his arms and met his daughter's gaze. "I'll admit, you just dropped a lot on my lap here Nicole, but there a few things you fail to understand. I don't blame you however because you were correct when you said that I haven't been the best father."
His admission seemed to catch Nicole by surprise. She expected him to deny that he wasn't a good father and that she was just a dumb kid that didn't know any better. A lot of adults basically used that excuse as some kind of gotcha even when that wasn't always the case.
"I wasn't around a lot because I was working. I was perusing my passions and trying to help provide a better life for you, Derek, Lisa, and Debbie. That's just how my father raised me and what I believe a man should do. Being an adult means making sacrifices and if you know, you know."
Debbie couldn't necessarily disagree, and neither could Erica as she remembered some of the sacrifices Cody made when she was pregnant. The man worked himself to the bone and went out and got himself a second job just to make sure they would have everything they would need for their baby.
"Also, regardless of what you say I'll always be your father because when the chips are down and everything is on the line, I'm the one who'll still be willing to fight and die for you because that's what a good parent should do. You can't take that away from me no matter what."
Nicole grit her teeth but didn't say anything. Sperm donder number one listened to her without interrupting so at the very least she could do the same even if he was being super annoying right now trying to sound like the good guy in this scenario.
"As for betraying your mother... she betrayed me first." Steve continued as he turned his stern gaze toward Debbie. "She stole the shrink ray and did the one thing I warned you all not to do and look what happened. At least what I did didn't get people killed, eaten and traumatized."
Debbie winced. "That's a bit of low blow, don't you think?"
"No, I don't." Steve replied completely unimpressed with his wife.
"Damn." Erica commented. "I see where the kids got her balls from."
The older woman shot the younger one a dirty look.
Steve continued. "You had a sexual awakening? Good for you. I don't really care what you do behind closed doors but keep in mind just because you can do something doesn't meant that you should. Freedom of choice doesn't mean freedom of consequences Nikki. I thought your mother and I taught you that or do you think your God or something like that. Newsflash, your just big not invincible."
Erica whistled. "I wish I had a giant bowl of popcorn right now."
"Shut up." Debbie spoke lamely. Although she'd kill for burger right about now.
The doctor still wasn't finished. "This little power trip you're on won't last. Debbie's life was over the second she decided to team up with Erica. Your sexual fantasies, I don't really care about those, nor did I need to know as much you told me. Too much information. As for not feeling weak, helpless or ignored... as long as you continue on the way you are, you'll never escape those feelings."
That last statement really seemed to strike a nerve with Nicole because she looked outright murderous at the moment.
"As it pertains to me surrendering to your mother and letting her decide my fate..." Steve rolled his eyes in the same way Nicole did when she felt rebellious. "Not happening. I'm the one who's done being hurt by a wife who abuses my trust, and giant brat throwing a tantrum because life's not fair. You two deserve each other because you both act like-"
A loud plane suddenly flew overhead as everyone present was left speechless with their jaws on the floor. Erica was the first to recover and despite herself, couldn't stop the smirk spreading across her face.
"Hot damn. I take it all back, brain boy is actually kind of a badass. Stupid, but a badass." She complimented.
Steve continued to stand defiant. "Well?"
He crossed his arms and met his daughter's gaze. "I'll admit, you just dropped a lot on my lap here Nicole, but there a few things you fail to understand. I don't blame you however because you were correct when you said that I haven't been the best father."
