Vincent Family Drabbles Chap. 2

Vincent Family Drabbles Chap. 2

Scott knows the Truth

Is was a nice weekend after the first week of school, and Vincent decided it was best to call his brother Scott, the Phone Guy. As Vincent was one the phone, Alex and Gary were playing with their baby sister, Victoria.

"Okay. See you soon. Bye." Vincent said as he hung up the phone. He then sighed and smiled. Over the phone he told Scott he had news to tell him, but didn't explain what the news was.

Since school started Gary's teacher was his grandfather, Vincent's and Scott's dad. So Vincent thought it would be best to tell Scott about him, and hoped Scott would be happy as he is.

"What is it daddy?" Alex asked going up to his dad.

"Well I'm going to tell Scott the news." Vincent replied as he put the phone down.

"What news?" Gary asked as he was feeding Victoria.

"About my dad." Vincent replied to his eldest question. "I want to tell your uncle face to face."

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Well since I met him again I need to tell him." Vincent replied to his youngest son, ruffling his hair. Alex giggled at his dad's action.

"He doesn't know about Grandpa yet?" Gary asked.

Vincent shook his head. "Last time he met him he was 5-years old." Vincent explained.

An hour later, someone was knocking on the door. "I'll get it!" Briana, Vincent's wife called out running to the door. She checked who it was, and smiled when she saw her brother-in-law, Scott. Briana opened the door and smiled. "Hey Scott." She said.

"Hey." Scott replied. The in-laws smile and hug each other. Vincent came by and smiled. Scott saw him and he and Briana let go. "Hi little brother." He said going to his baby brother.

"Hey big bro." Vincent said hugging his big brother. Alex and Gary come downstairs and smile seeing their uncle.

"Uncle Scott!" Alex and Gary yelled running to their uncle. Scott saw them, and hugged them back. Scott met his two nephews just a few weeks ago, and he's already getting a liking to them.

As Scott was done hugging he and his brother walked to the couch to chat. "So Vincent what was the news you had to tell me?" He asked.

Vincent took a few deep breaths, and smiled. "I found dad." Vincent said.

Scott sat their shocked hearing what he just said. He didn't want to believe it, he thought this was a dream, but it was not. "Y-You're serious?" Scott asked.

Vincent smiled and nodded. "Yeah! Isn't this great?" He yelled.

Scott then stood up with a face of disbelief. His own father was here, alive, and met Vincent. Scott remembered his dad, but how did Vincent, he was only 3 at the time.

After standing there for a while Alex got worried for his uncle. "Uncle Scott. Are you okay?" He asked.

You would think Scott would be happy or at least shocked about this, but Scott gave a different answer. Scott glared, and clenched his fist tight. "Not him. Not him!" Scott yelled.

Alex scooted back holding on to Gary, as the later took him to his room since he knows this will get dramatic. Vincent looked a bit shocked at his brother, so he decided to reach out to him.

"Scott what's wrong?" Vincent asked.

Scott quickly looked at him with the deep glare in his eyes. Vincent knew Scott was pissed, but he only saw Scott like this when Vincent was hurt, or if someone he knew and/or loved was hurt. "Why didn't you tell me that creep came back?!" He yelled asking his brother for answers.

Vincent stood their shocked, he knew Scott yelled at him before, but not like this. "I just told you." Vincent said. "I met him this week." He tried to reach for his brother's hand, but Scott replied by smacking it away.

"Why is he here!?" Scott asked again getting more upset by each question Vincent answered. Scott was so upset he started tearing up.

"He's Gary's teacher." Vincent said. "He came by and apologized. He also explained why he left us Scott." Vincent was about to explain, but Scott yelled back at him.

"That's no excuse for leaving us behind all these years!" Scott yelled angrily.

Vincent put a hand on his brother's shoulder. "Scott calm down." Scott just pushed the hand off.

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Scott yelled again. "I hate that guy! That will never change!" Scott then opened the door and started to head out. Vincent followed his older brother.

"Scott! Wait!" Vincent yelled trying to catch up to Scott, who was already in his car. He then drove off with tears in his eyes. Vincent stood their seeing his brother drive off, and frowned seeing he failed to do anything.

Briana then came out to see what happened between her husband and her brother. She gave him a hug for comfort. "What happened?" She asked.

"Scott got angry." Vincent replied as he walked back into the house.

"How bad was it?" Briana asked again following her husband.

"To the point were he drove off and yelled in my face." Vincent replied again. Briana smiled and hugged her husband again, which made him smile. He then sighed, "I wish I could make him understand."

Alex and Gary came down and checked up on their dad. They saw the whole thing from Gary's window, and wanted to see what happened. "Daddy? Where did Uncle Scott go?" Alex asked.

Vincent had to think about this, and not tell the boys he and his brother got into a fight. However, by the looks on their faces Vincent knew the boys saw everything. "He just left too cool down." He said.

"Why?" Gary asked. Vincent sighed and explained what happened. Gary and Alex looked at each other and felt sad for their dad and uncle.

A bit later Briana and the boys were getting ready for dinner. Alex and Gary still felt sad about what happened, and haven't talked with their dad since Scott left. Vincent was trying his best to call Scott back in hopes to reason with him, but no reply. Vincent knew Scott does not want to talk about it, but he just wanted to know if Scott was okay.

Vincent sighed after calling Scott the 10th time. He turned around and saw his sons looking at him. He gave a smile and went to his sons, each ruffling their heads. "H-Hey your Uncle Scott is fine. Just help mom with dinner and I'll be right there." Vincent said speaking for the first time to his sons, since his uncle left.

Alex and Gary looked at their dad, who was giving them a small smile. "Are you sure daddy?" Alex asked his father.

"Yeah, so just help mom, and I'll be right there." Vincent said. "I'll come by in a bit."

Alex and Gary look at each other, and decided to listen to their dad and helped with their mom with dinner. Vincent sighed, and went back to calling his brother. After another 10 calls, Vincent decided to leave a message.

"Scott. Please pick up the phone. We need to talk." Vincent said before he hanged up.

"Any luck?" Briana asked going to her husband. Vincent shook his head. Briana frowned, and went back to the kitchen. Vincent then turned around, and saw Alex putting plates on the table, and smiled knowing he has an idea.

Vincent then started to call his brother. "Scott! You need to come over its an emergency! Alex is getting sick!" Vincent yelled and hanged up. After a few seconds he then called one more person.

"Hey dad. Want to join us for dinner?" Vincent asked.

A while later, Scott came rushing in, Vincent already told his family his plan, and they are just in another room just incase Scott gets mad again.

"Where's Alex?! Is he okay? How bad is it?" Scott asked being worried for his nephew.

Vincent smiled seeing his plan worked. "He's fine. Briana is caring for him." Scott sighed seeing Alex is okay. "However, someone will be here to help."

"Who?" Scott asked. Right on que Vincent turned Scott around, and showed him his father who he hasn't seen since he was 5.

Peter smiled when he saw Scott, he saw nothing was different about him, except that he got older. "I haven't seen you when you were 5-years old." Peter said.

Scott was shocked seeing his father, and glared seeing this was all a trap by Vincent to get him to see his father. Scott glared seeing his dad again. To prevent Scott from doing anything stupid, Vincent held on to his hand.

"Let me go Vincent." Scott said no bothering to look at his brother.

"No. Listen to what dad has to say." Vincent said. He's trying to stay as calm as possible in hopes to reason with his brother.

"Why should I?!" Scott yelled turning around facing his brother with tears in his eyes.

"Scott." Peter said making Scott face him. "Let me explain." Scott just glared at his father. "I made some mistakes when I was raising you and Vincent. I tried to come back, but I felt like I wasn't ready." Peter explained.

Scott still didn't take it. "That's no excuse for ditching us all these years! You were never there for us!" Scott yelled.

"I'm sorry." That's the only word he could say, seeing Scott is very upset. Scott just looked away.

"Scott please. Forgive him." Vincent begged.

"Give me one good reason I should?" Scott asked facing his brother with a glare. Vincent wanted to give out good points about his dad, but nothing came to mind.

"Scott." Peter said walking closer to his sons. "Please forgive me."

"No!" Scott yelled. "You abandoned me and Vincent when we were very little and you expect me to forgive you just like that?! Well forget it! I don't want anything to do with you!" Scott yelled. He then tried to walk away, only for Vincent to hold on to his hand tighter. Scott glared and struggled to let go from his brother's grasp.

"Scott! Listen to us!" Vincent yelled back.

"I told you I'm not forgiving him. Just let me go!" Scott yelled still trying to get away from his brother.

"No!" Vincent yelled. This pushed Scott to his point, and with that Scott pushed Vincent off him, and walked out the door.

Peter ran after his son, and grabbed Scott's hand to stop him. Scott's temper rise as his father did that. "Get your hands off me!" Scott snapped.

"Scott your mother told me what you and your brother went through." Peter said. Scott clamed down, but still kept the glare. His dad knew what crap he and Vincent went through, this made him calm due to the look at his face, but was still upset at his father.

"Sorry doesn't excuse child abandonment, bud!" Scott yelled again.

"Scott calm down." Peter said.

"Make me!" Scott yelled trying to pull away from his dad.

"Scott I'm so sorry I left you and your brother. It was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life." Peter said. "I left because I made a mistake that I would regret, but I regret leaving you, your brother, and mom the worse thing ever."

Scott still glared, but calmed down. Peter smiled and hugged Scott. Scott was shocked by the act, due to it being a long time since his father hugged him. "I love you Scott. And I miss you." Peter admitted to Scott.

Scott started to tear up, and realized he misses his father. He then cried and hugged his father back. "Dad I'm sorry." Scott cried. Scott just cried 'I'm Sorry' over and over again as he hugged his father.

"I forgive you." Peter said rubbing Scott's back.

A bit later, Scott was asleep after wasting a lot of energy crying, and was now getting comfort from his little brother.

Peter then came over to Vincent and sat next to him. "Scott did a good job taking care of you." Peter said.

Vincent smiled and agreed with his father. "Thanks dad. I'm sorry he was so cross with you." Vincent said.

Peter gave a chuckle. "I expected it from both of you, but I see you took it pretty well." He said ruffling Vincent's hair.

Vincent giggled at his dad ruffling his hair. "Thanks." Vincent said.

"Your welcome." Peter replied with a smile. Just then Scott started to wake up.

"Hey bro." Vincent said seeing his older brother woke up.

"Hey." Scott replied slowly getting up.

"Feeling better?" Vincent asked. Scott replied by nodding slowly. Vincent gave a smile and hugged his brother.

"I'm sorry for hurting you." Scott said.

"Its okay nothing hurt or broken." Vincent replied hugging his brother tighter.

"Good. I'd never forgive myself if I hurt you." Scott said. The two brothers hug along with their dad smiling at his two boys.

"And dad." Scott started.

"Yes." Peter replied.

"I know I said this a bunch of times already, but I'm sorry." Scott said.

Peter smiled and hugged his son. "I forgive you." He said. "And I love you," as he said that he put his arm around Vincent. "Both of you."
