Andy left the shop in the capable hands of Cassidy and followed Nicky and Addie out of the shop and down the street, where a great retro diner was open at all hours and served tar-like coffee and the best damn pancakes he’d ever tasted. He needed both for what he was about to do.

“Mom? Are you sure I can have pancakes and ice cream in one day?” Nicky said as he slid into the booth across from Andy. Addie sat down next to her son, her hands clasped in her lap, looking around her nervously.

“Mom?” Nicky asked again, poking her in the arm. “What?” she asked, whipping her head back around.

“Are you sure I can have pancakes?” he asked, looking at her a little worriedly. The kid was definitely emotionally astute, which was not a trait he got from Andy. Before meeting Addie, Andy had been a classic clueless male, more in touch with the bread he made each week at his bakery job than he was with his emotions. Addie had been the one to teach him to vocalize his feelings, to let things out instead of keeping them bottled up inside. Thanks to her, he considered himself pretty emotionally intelligent, which was how he could tell that Nicky was feeling pretty freaked out.

“Sure thing, sweetie,” she said, smiling with a watery grin. Nicky looked at his mom skeptically, then turned to Andy.

“So. Mr. Andy. Did you know you have the same name as my dad?” he said, jumping up and down on the vinyl seat below him. Andy felt like this was a leading question, and this was confirmed when he looked into Nicky’s face and saw the kid staring back at him with a raised eyebrow and a suspicious glint in his eye.

Andy looked at Addie. She had told him they should wait until they had their food to tell the kid, thinking that the pancakes might distract him slightly from the monumental news, but clearly, that plan wasn’t going to work. It was time to go all in.

“Funny thing about that, Nicky,” he started, leaning forward across the table. Nicky did the same, that little bit of hair still curling over his brown forehead, his hazel eyes staring at Andy in a mix of trepidation and anticipation. “I am your dad.”
