After so many years apart.

John had finally managed to get Laswell in control on the base and was able to at last leave it under her control to come back to you. His child.

He made sure that for the last 4 and a half years he kept in touch, wishing you a happy birthday, texting, calling, sending you little gifts from missions because he knew how much you loved little trinkets. But now. After all that time he was back. And you didn't even know.

It was a normal day at school for you and then at home. You got to your boxing training that John paid for too and that seemed to have gone by normally.

At the last couple of minutes at training, it was around 30 minutes before end that your trainer put a blindfold on you and told you to hit. You were confused because this wasn't done before, little to your knowledge price had entered the room without saying anything and stepped into your trainers way and let you hit his hands as 'practice'.

John couldn't help your little pause when you heard his familiar voice say, "C'mon, little one. You can hit harder than that." But as you proceed he chuckled a little. "Don't hold back now, champ." He added at last. Watching as you froze.

A smile grew onto his face. Still wearing his military clothing and his bucket hat, he watched whilst you urgently took off one of the boxing gloves and practically ripped off the blindfold. He didn't even get a word in before he watched you run at him and hug him tightly. A laugh left him. A deep yet love filled laugh.

"Hey...I'm back. I'm home, my champion. I won't leave you again. I promise." His voice gruff yet filled with happiness as he knelt down and hugged you tightly. Kissing the top of your head. "I'm back."
