He was getting back in to the dating game as Estella had started hers. He'd need to round that bit more given his daughters news but he could do that. It wasn't the same level of work here; certain times were busy just like in any university but they'd cope as a family. Her mother was another story and might well need more convincing and Kyle was the one who'd need to do the worrying. "We'll get through this. So why don't we go out this afternoon before school starts?" he suggested. There was a window of opportunity before things got complicated. Estella Vasquez

Still in her confessions and as she listened to her father she did want to know how he was. She worried about him less but it did not mean that she did not worry at all, as he could not seem to not worry about her she felt the same way. "We can go out, what would you like to do?" Largo Vasquez

Father and daughter had gotten closer since the divorce and the move to a new home. This island in fact. A new job for him and a new school for her. Everything was new but he was gradually getting used to it. "How about something simple little queen?" he posed with a smile. "Pick a movie and we'll watch it at the mall. We won't get many chances to do something like this once you start school" he added. Who knew what she'd pick but it would be her choice. Estella Vasquez

"A movie sounds good," plus she felt like it would give her a lot of time to think about everything which she did appreciate. "We should go see," she took a second not really knowing anything that was out at the moment. "Can I pick when we get there?" Largo Vasquez

They weren't quite on the US release schedule for movies but not far of it now as they'd get new titles at the same time as the rest of the region. The selection should be quite good as Largo replied "you can pick when you get there. Also your kind of popcorn and soda". So off they went and a while later they were at the top floor multiplex. Not the biggest theatre you'd find but seven screens was adequate for the islands population. Estella Vasquez

Doing things with her father would never bore her. She always found him interesting and she knew at times that could be hard considering she was growing up but they had still gotten through it. "So are you up to anything interesting?" she asked. "I mean your school job will be starting soon but hopefully there is more to you going on in your life?" The top floor of the multiplex had a nice view. "Do you think this place ever reaches capacity?" Largo Vasquez

Two questions were posed by his little queen. One was perhaps hypothetical but the first one was relative. “I have been doing things. Learning tennis with a new friend called Ula, got a new friend called Brett and I know a woman who keeps bees. Also been diving in the shipwreck and when I was with Betty when a seagull tried to steal my lunch. Fun times so far” he replied as he looked down. You could see the other floors of the mall from here and they’d get snacks along with the tickets once Estella made a choice. “It might in later showings but it does seem big enough for a city of this size” he suggested. The city might even need another cinema later on if it kept growing and he figured it would. He knew why this island was a refuge for oddity kind and others. He’d seen his country decline gradually and now things were the darkest he’d seen them for about twenty years. Estella Vasquez

She nodded as she listened. "Yeah I agree this land structure though," she said. "It's well not all of it but some parts of it are as different as anything that I have seen and that amazes me, have you noticed that too?" She figured he was more the history buff so he would know more about it than she did. Largo Vasquez

"Well this is a tropical island. Its going to be different from Miami but geography apart it does seem odd there's only one settlement of any note; the modern city and the old town. Eventually there might be more but there's been plenty of time to develop the island beyond that. You've got the farms and fishing hamlets as well". There would also be private residences slightly out of town in due course as well. In replying to the question he had the beginning of an idea for a family trip; even Kyle if he felt safe enough to attend. "How about a trip? You, me and Kyle; I'm not sure if your mother would like to come along or not. We could do the volcano or even a drive to Betty's farm; she's the bee keeper" he suggested. Estella Vasquez

She thought for a second. "I think a trip might be good and mom might come. I don't want her to feel left out so I can do something with her before hand and hopefully she will not go too crazy on me. I really need to find out who the guy is that is helping her and pay him to keep her distracted, bad but good for her in the end." Largo Vasquez

Given what he knew about the current situation he had a feelings that Louisa would need won over; he honestly feared for Kyle's life when the mother got involved. "So you have your mission little queen. I actually worry about Kyle once your mother finds out. He needs to be aware of that" he softy replied. "I can save her a space in the car in the meantime wherever we end up going for a trip" he added. He'd try and keep Kyle safe if he could. Estella Vasquez

"Thank you," she said. She had always came across more mature than she was and she only hoped that being that way was going to help her in the end but she knew that sometimes you just had to suck it up and deal with what life gave you. "Do you like him as a person, Kyle i mean?" She had meant to ask sooner but was just now finding her way to get around to it. Largo Vasquez

Largo knew the answer to that question otherwise he wouldn't be trying to stop Louisa feeding him to the reef sharks; a worst case scenario of course. "I do like Kyle. He's sensible, well mannered, has some kind of plan for the future and honestly he reminds me of what I was when I was his age" he replied. "So do you want popcorn or nachos?" he suggested. "I honestly wouldn't mind taking Kyle under my wing if he had the interest in archeology" he added. He had a good feeling that Kyle wouldn't let Estella down. Estella Vasquez

She knew that she would always take value in what her parents said but more so her father than her mother. They just had a better bond and that was no one's fault because deep down she knew that her mother really did try. Maybe she did have a small grudge against her mother but she was hoping now that she was going to be a mother she could get over that. "I think that would be neat but I mean there is also room for you and Kyle to develop other things that the both of you might like. Dad I am always going to pick nachos." Largo Vasquez

“There might be overlapping interests” Largo considered. Then they got their nachos and picked out the movie they wanted. It wouldn’t be a simple situation going forwards but he did think they’d also need Louisa on board too. “I still think we’ll need your mother on board. It takes two parents and two grandparents to look after a baby” he added. Hopefully a better future for all of them. Estella Vasquez
