Chapter 199: Family Day With Daddy
Time came and went.
One Saturday, Shantelle and Evan were on their way to the kids’ school when the famous doctor received a call from the Heart and Lung Center.
“Oh, my god. Okay. I’ll be there,” Shantelle said on the phone before giving her younger kids a look of regret. Amara also went to the same school and was part of it too.
The school was having a Family Day activity. It was supposed to be a fun day for the kids, joining various games and activities with their parents, but even before arriving, Shantelle was already bound to cancel on them.
“I will be back. It’s just a two-hour operation, and I’ll join the games halfway! ”
Shantelle claimed. She sneered before turning to Evan, explaining,” Doctor Chen fainted and found out she is pregnant. She isn’t able to operate, and the patient is already at the hospital, getting prepped.” 1
Evan turned to the kids and explained, “Guys, Mommy’s work is to save lives! You understand, right?”
The kid’s shoulders fell as they acknowledged.
Amara, who had just turned five, said, “Okay, Mommy. Promise you’ll be there.’
“But Mommy, who will dress me for the cosplay?” Amelia reminded. She and her twin brother were already seven and participated in many activities because they were that competitive.
“Daddy and I are good/ Marcus said as if warning his father.
“I’m not going anywhere, buddy/ Evan said. ‘I’ll be with you until the end of the day, and so is uncle Miguel. Right, Miguel?’
Driving behind the wheels, Miguel answered, “Yes, sir!”
Instead of going straight to the school, they dropped Shantelle off.
Shantelle reminded, “Call Lucas.”
Their eldest son was practicing basketball with his team and coach at a different school.
The kids practically stared out the car’s window as their limo drove away from the hospital. Evan had to encourage them, ‘Guys, daddy’s here!
Everything will be just fine.”
Upon arriving at the school, though, everything became easy because there were so many games that the kids could play without Shantelle. Thus, they were no longer missing their mommy.
Aside from the fun games, food booths were everywhere, and the kids scrambled to buy some treats too.
Miguel and Evan divided their attention with the kids. Miguel mostly ran after Amara while Evan took care of Amelia and Marcus.
There was a time, however, when Amelia wanted to buy cotton candy, and Miguel ran out of chits to use. The school used chits instead of money, so Miguel had to buy more chits for the family while Evan watched all three kids.
“Daddy, I want that!” Amelia said, pointing to a poppet bag behind them.
“Later, sweetie, I only have enough chits for your sister’s cotton candy,” Evan said while buying the cotton candy.
“Calling participants for the relay games! Prizes are in store for you!” The announcer called.
“Daddy, I want to play! I want to play! They are giving away prizes!” Marcus said.
“Later, Marcus, we are waiting for Miguel,” Evan reasoned. “And Amelia wants to buy something too.”
Evan turned his back on Marcus and paid for the cotton candy. When he returned his attention to his son, he was gone! His mouth fell open, asking Amelia, “Where did your brother go?”
“I think to the gym, Daddy,” Amelia responded.
Seeing Miguel was still not there, he carried Amara with one arm and held Amelia’s hand. “Let’s go look for your brother.”
It took some time, but eventually, Evan found his son. He was playing the relays with his classmates and was determined to stay in the same spot.
While standing and watching Marcus, Ameilia said, “Daddy! Look there. My friends are there? Can I go to them, please?”
She was referring to the group of girls seated on a bench at the far end, and because they were in his line of sight, Evan agreed. Next, Evan took pictures of Marcus. He was smiling as he sent them to his wife. He turned to check on Ameilia, but she was gone! “What the
He took a full turn, his eyes turning like a hawk, hunting his daughter, but Amelia was nowhere in sight!
The man could not help but curse. He turned to Marcus and back to looking for
Amelia, contemplating what to do first. Fortunately, Marcus’ game ended. He grabbed his son and carried Amara while searching for Amelia.
The man found Amelia with her group of friends, choosing poppet bags!
“Amelia! Why did you leave without telling me?” Evan asked.
“We were going to go back, Daddy/ Amelia reasoned.
“You should always tell me where you are going,” Evan said. He let go of Marcus and put Amara down to talk sincerely with his other daughter.
After arriving at a consensus, Amelia said, “Okay, Daddy. I won’t run off.”
Evan smiled. He said, “Good girl.”
He turned around and learned that both Amara and Marucs were gone! 1
“Why is this happening to me?” Evan looked through different booths and game areas and realized there were so many attractions around that his kids could not help but be invited! He called, “Amara? Marcus?”
He returned his attention to Amelia. His daughter said, “Daddy, I’ll stay with my friends. We are going back to the gym, I promise!”
“Okay, go back there, and I’ll come to find you,” Evan said. He looked around for minutes and finally found Amelia and Marcus. Amelia held a handful of candies that Marcus had won from a game.
“Marcus, this is the second time you ran off without telling me,” Evan scolded. “You got daddy scared. Don’t do this again.”
He urged him to finish his game and brought the kids to find Amelia. Thankfully, Amelia was now with Miguel, and it appeared to him that the marathon was already over.
Two hours had passed, but Shantelle was still not around. Lucas had texted Evan how he was on his way. His wife also sent him a message, saying she was explaining the procedure to the patient’s family and would head to school afterward. The problem was Amelia’s cosplay contest was starting, and heck, he knew nothing about make-up and wigs!
Still, Evan owned up to it, and Marcus was helpful enough to guide Evan. His daughter was playing Wednesday Adams.
While Miguel sat in the auditorium’s front rows, Evan and the twins were changing backstage.
Amelia wore a black wig since her daughter was blonde and wore Wednesday’s usually black and dotted dress. Fortunately, Shantelle left the make-up kit, so Evan tried to give Amelia those shadow eyes, but he overdid it. Amelia looked like she had black eye bags and eyelids. 1
Amelia checked herself in the mirror and exclaimed, “Daddy, I look scary! It’s too thick!”
“Well, baby, isn’t Wednesday supposed to be scary?” Evan justified.
Amelia’s mouth fell open. She said, “You are right, Daddy!’
The man also had to practice the Wednesday dance with his daughter and felt embarrassed about dancing but had no choice. His wife was still on the road!
“Daddy, should I dance like you?” Amelia questioned. 1
“What do you mean, baby?” Evan clarified.
“Like a stick, Daddy?” Amelia answered. 2
Marcus laughed. 1
A hiss left Evan’s lips. ‘Was I dancing like a stick?’ 1
Clearing his throat, the man said, “Well, isn’t that Wednesday’s character?”
“Okay, Daddy! I’ll dance like a stick!” Amelia said. 2
Shantelle and Lucas eventually arrived just before the show started.
Amelia did not win the cosplay contest but still bagged second place. Evan could not be more proud, knowing his efforts had paid off. 2
In the afternoon of that same day, the family regathered in the auditorium, where Marcus represented their class for the Little Mister Bright Academy.
Evan, Lucas, and Miguel sat in the front rows with the rest of the kids while Shantelle aided Marcus in getting changed from one attire to another. The judges evaluated Marcus in the contest for his style, good luck, and answers. Fortunately for Lucas, having light brown hair and mixed qualities of Shantelle and Evan, he stood out a lot.
His biggest win was when all contestants were asked the final question of the day.
The contest host asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
One by one, the contestants answered.
“I want to be a doctor!”
“I want to be a pilot!”
“I want to be an engineer, just like my dad!’
“I want to be a teacher, like my mom!”
Evan thought Marcus would say he wanted to be a businessman since that was what he was.
When Marcus was asked the same question, the boy smiled at the audience and his father. He replied, “When I grow up, I want to be a daddy! Because my daddy is a mix of everything! He is a businessman, he helps children, he dances with my sister, and many things, but the best part is he is our daddy. Even when we make mistakes, he tells US he loves US.” 3
“So, when I grow up, I want to be a daddy, just like my daddy Evan Thompson!’
Marcus concluded, and that garnered him roaring applause.
Evan wound up teary-eyed in his seat, with Lucas patting his back. Lucas said, “He is proud of you, Dad.”
The end result? Marcus won as Little Mister Bright Academy. 2

After that day’s tiring activities, Evan was supposed to be exhausted as hell, but he was energized.
They were driving back home. The younger kids were sleeping on their laps, and Lucas was in the front seat with Miguel.
Evan smiled from ear to ear as he told his wife, “Is today father’s day? It sure felt like it.’ 1
“Did you enjoy your day with the kids, Hubby?” Shantelle asked.
“I loved it! I loved it! I’ll attend every year’s family day at school,” Evan claimed.
