Week 08 London Family pg 03

Arik: So you had an affair with Randy?
Mandy: No Sweetie, I had an affair with your father. I'm married to Randy, your Dad.
Arik: Wait, does he even know about me?
Mandy: I was waiting until you were ready.
Arik: I think I'm ready.

Mandy: Hey, ya its me. Listen, can you come by tonight? No not the shop, the house.... we need to talk. Not bad news, no... Randy's at work he wont be back till morning. Yes, it is very important. Thanks, see you in a few.


*ding dong*Okay Arik, I hope you were sure about being ready. Your natural father is on the other side of the door.

Rob: Hey there little buddy, is your mom home?
Arik: Hi my name is Arik, Arik London. Its a pleasure to finally meet you... father.

Rob: Woah, slow down there... you're who?
Arik: I'm Arik, your son.

Arik: I know this is pretty weird, I mean I just found out myself. Mom told me about it after school today. She didn't want me to grow up not know who I am and I really wanted to meet you. Did I do something wrong?
Rob: No buddy, your mom did... it's totally not wrong to want to meet your father. And you're sure its me, not Randy? You have your mother's eyes... but those lips are definitely mine. Yup, you are my boy.

Mandy: So you see, I knew I was pregnant almost right away. Randy was so thrilled to have a son, I didn't have the heart to correct him. Besides, it would make things rather difficult to explain without splitting both our families apart and I doubt either of us want that. Besides, even if he doesn't say it, I think he knows. He just doesn't know its you. Chloe came by to visit on Arik's birthday. It was so weird having her here. She took to Arik like he was hers. It scared me. I wont let you take Arik from me.
Arik: Wait, Mrs. Chloe is your wife? Mom do I have to live here with you and Randy?
Mandy: You don't call him by name, he is still your 'dad'!
Rob: Listen Buddy, I may be your father, but Randy has raised you and cared for you as his own your whole life. He is still your Dad.
Arik: That is only because he doesn't know you're...
Mandy: Hold that thought Arik... don't even say it. Randy wouldn't care if you're not his natural son, he loves you... and you know it.

Arik: You can't move that there.
Rob: Oh so you're going to school me on chess now huh?
Arik: Will you visit me again?
Rob: As long as Randy works that God awful shift on Wednesday nights, Mandy doesn't kick me out and you want me to... you bet.

Mandy: I know you don't want to go to bed, but you have school tomorrow. I love you, Arik.
Rob: Night little man, I'll see you next week.
Arik: Night, Mom. I love you too. Good night... Father!
Arik runs off to his bedroom.
Rob: Does he know he has a big brother?
Mandy: You can tell him next week... we have another problem that's bigger than this.
Rob: I'm afraid to ask.
Mandy: Kara and Terrell...

Rob: Gods I can't get you out of my system. I know its wrong...
Mandy: Then go home, there is always next week. Good night Rob and thanks.
Rob: He's a great kid, Mandy. You and Randy did a good job raising him. I just hope my interfering doesn't screw things up.
