1998

It was a Saturday morning and Emma had just woken up

Then she saw red stains on her bed sheet

What the she said

Then she went into the bathroom to take a shower

Then she saw blood on her underwear

Then she started to scream

Pete was in his room getting changed and he heard the scream

Hey, what happened? He asked coming into the bathroom

Then he saw his daughter sitting on the bathroom floor crying

Sweetheart, what's wrong? He asked his daughter softly and sat next to her

I think I got it she said

What?

Then she showed him the blood on her underwear

Oh, shit he said

Then he got changed and told her that he will be right back

He got on his motorcycle and went to the store

Then he went to the pads area

He didn't know which to get?

Are you ok, sir, a woman asked

No, my daughter just got her first period he said

Oh, your daughter she said

He nodded

I know what to do she said

He showed her what to get her

Thank you so much he said and left

Then Emma was still in the bathroom

Hey, baby I'm back he said

Alright, so here the pads

Alright you know how to put on right? He asked

She nodded

Ok, looks like I'm giving you the talk Pete said

What, talk? She said as she was still crying

Then he pulled his daughter to his chest

So, this means you're becoming a woman he said as he rocked her back and forth

Then he told her everything she needed to know

Thank you daddy she said and stopped crying

Your welcome honey he said and placed a kiss on Emma's head

Then later she laid on her bed reading a magazine

Then Pete came in

Hi dad Emma said

Hey sweetie he said

What's up? She asked

I just wanted to check on you he said

I'm fine

Let me tell you something

What?

When I was with your mom she was cranky during her period he said and Emma laughed

Alright, well I'm going to prepare dinner he said and left her room

Then an hour and a half later dinner was ready for them

It was chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables

This is delicious Emma said and took a bite of chicken

Pete smiled at his daughter

When was the last time I told you we're beautiful he said and touched a bit of her hair to push back

I don't know she said and then took a sip of ice tea

Then as they are they talked about stuff

So, on Wednesday there was this student who brought a gun in case of emergency Pete said and then ate some mashed potatoes

Really Emma said

Oh Monday my teacher called out a kid for passing a note and it said this girl named Alice has fine tits Emma said

Then Emma looked at the picture of her mother

Then she walked downstairs to the living room to see her father looking at some papers

Hey dad? She said

Yeah, honey Pete said

Can I ask you something? She asked

Sure, sweetheart come here he said and patted the seat next to him

Then she sat down

I know you don't like talking about it

But was my mom pretty? She asked

Oh, baby, your mama was so beautiful like you he said and cupped Emma's cheeks

Hey, remember this me and your mom will always love you he said

Emma had tears in her eyes and hugged her father

He kissed a side of her head

My baby he said

Then she went upstairs to the bathroom and got ready for a shower

Then after she got on a pair of short and a gray tank top and got into her bed and held a picture of her mom and dad together, her mom in her leather jacket and in a pink dress and her dad in a white shirt and jeans and his jacket on Pete's motorcycle

Then Pete came in

He saw her looking at the photo

Then he sat down on her bed and looked at the photo

Hi daddy she said

Hey, em he said

I remember that photo he said

We just found out we were going to have you he said

She smiled

Alright good night he said and kissed Emma's forehead

Night daddy she said

Pete smiled at his daughter and turned off her lights and walked into his room

He got out of his shirt and had his jeans on and laid on his bed

Anne, she asked about you he said and picked up a picture of her

Then he turned off his lamp and went to sleep
