Chapter 147 - Sorry

April digested her father\'s words, he was remorseful and she knew that he was vulnerable and engulfed in grief when he had married Rachel. She understood that, but he had ignored all the hurtful words Rachel had said to her and he had known how she had been treated by her and Lucy.

Could she forgive him fully? She could forgive but she could never forget. So she said, "I forgive you for the past. The past isn\'t who we are, each day we learn from our mistakes and we can only move forward and improve."

Martin beamed, he had got his daughter\'s forgiveness. That was all he had wanted, but he asked, "So can we move forward? Can you let me make amends for my actions?"

"You don\'t have to make amends. I don\'t harbour any ill feelings for you. We can start a fresh from today." April said. She held Dean\'s hand giving it a squeeze as she needed his support. This was a big step for her.

Dean knew she would forgive her father as she was caring and gracious and that was why he had helped him when he showed up at his office a week ago. He also knew what a humbling moment it must have been to ask him for help and then ask his own daughter for forgiveness.

"So what now?" April queried. The three men that she sat with were intelligent and at this moment her emotions only clouded her own intelligence. She couldn\'t think straight, she wanted Rachel and Lucy to suffer but she knew she had to be smart about it.

Dean let go of her hand and pulled her closer to him, "I will investigate your mother\'s death, as long as I have your permission too?"

April nodded but then looked to her father.

Martin noticed his daughter\'s que and nodded as well, "I will be forever in your debt. You have done so much for me recently."

"I didn\'t do it for you," Dean answered.

Martin now saw that Dean didn\'t just like his daughter, he loved her. A man who protected you and showed you affection in the way that Dean had meant that he was in love. He nodded and replied, "I am thankful nonetheless. For what you have done for me and the way you treat my daughter."

Martin\'s gratitude rolled off Dean, he didn\'t need his thanks either as he only did it for April. Whatever she needed he would do whether it was protection, love or support.

"While you are investigating April\'s mother\'s death I will get my team to monitor those two imbeciles. We have to be careful now." Joseph announced.

Dean and Martin both agreed. It would be for April\'s own safety.

"Thanks," April said she felt drained from the build up of the evening and then the events at dinner.

Dean noticed and said, "I\'ll take you upstairs, this evening has been a lot."

"No, I am okay." April disagreed, she didn\'t want to disappear after everything had happened.

Dean quirked his eyebrow not believing her for a moment.

"Best go up and rest," Joseph said.

April then nodded.

"So if my grandfather says it you believe him?" Dean teased.

Martin stood and announced, "I will be off then and see you both another time. Get some rest April and I am sorry for today… and for well... everything."

"Let\'s leave that in the past okay." April then stood and hugged her father before she heard Tom\'s voice.

"Do I get a goodbye hug too?" Tom said as he walked out of the kitchen. He missed April, the Green house felt empty without her.

April laughed and let go of her father and walked up to Tom as she embraced him too, "Always." She said. Tom had been there when her father wasn\'t.

Dean looked to his grandfather giving him a knowing look before standing beside April waiting on her to say her goodbye\'s.

"Good night April." Martin then said.

"Good night you two, safe home," April said and she walked to Dean and held his hand.

April and Dean walked up the stairs together and as they walked out of sight Joseph said to Martin, "That girl is a warrior, a survivor from what I have heard and seen. You are very lucky getting a second chance."

"I know. I won\'t take it for granted." Martin announced.

Martin and Tom both left together and Sam, Robert and Bernie entered the living room. They sat with Joseph waiting for their orders.

Joseph thought for a moment before he gave orders. "Aprils safety is the most important. We need to protect her from those two\'s evil schemes and My own son." Joseph was aware that his son, Dean\'s uncle was just as lethal. With so many unknowns they had to be ready just in case.

Robert nodded and said, "I will get some guards to watch over Rachel and Lucy."

"I will arrange to hack their phones," Sam said.

Joseph nodded in agreement.

"Today turned in a completely different direction," Bernie said. Her heart felt heavy for April. To live with those vile women for years and now know that they may have killed your mother was unexpected and she could only guess how angry April was feeling.

Upstairs April had sat on the bed and Dean kneeled down in front of her. He took off her shoes and reached for her fluffy socks and placed them on her feet. She was always cold so he wanted to warm her up.

Dean then stood and scooped her legs onto the bed so she was now sitting up on the bed, he saw her far away stare and he sat down on the bed beside her. He played with a piece of her hair as he waited for her to come back to him. She looked like she was a million miles away.

"It\'s beautiful when you can be both soft and fire, angel and vixen," Dean said softly.
