Chapter Three
The next morning Emily was at work taking orders and delivering food when she saw her Father walk into the restaurant. She smiled softly as she went towards him as she held a menu, "Table for one?"
"Uh, yes." Georg said as he took his hat off before Emily led him to a booth.
"How is your morning so far Mr. Von Trapp?" Emily asked her Father.
"Please call me Georg and my morning is fine thanks." Georg said before looking at the menu. He wasn't going to admit it out loud but he was positive that the Emily in front of him was his daughter, this Emily looked so much like her. Same hair color, eyes, expressions, laughs. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't hear Emily talk to him. "I'm sorry, what?"
"I asked if you wanted anything to drink."
"Yes, coffee would be nice thank you and I'm ready to order." Georg said before telling Emily his order, he watched her walk away. After a few minuets Emily came back with his drink, a few moments he spoke up, "Your accent, its similar to mine. Did you come from Austria?"
Emily froze slightly before relaxing, "Yes, I was born and raised there. I came here about eleven to twelve years ago. Were you from there also?"
"Yes. Why did you come to America? If you don't mind me asking."
"My parents wanted a change and they felt that America was the best place." Emily said smiling, though deep down she was panicking, she knew her Father is connecting the dots and is slowly figuring out that she is his daughter. Emily looked back towards the kitchen, "I looks like your food is ready."
Georg nodded as Emily walked away thinking, Castle, Emily knew a family with that name…they took her away to save her…this is her. This is my Emily, but why didn't she say anything? Georg was pulled out of his thoughts when Emily placed the plate in front of him.
"Enjoy your food." Emily said before walking away to take care of another customer.
Georg started to eat as he mulled over his thoughts, near the end of his meal Emily walked over to him asking if everything was alright. "How is your wife, Maria right?" Emily asked with curiosity.
"She is well, she's currently at work. She's a librarian." Georg said smiling at the thought of his wife.
"And I take it that today is your day off?"
"Yes, how long has your husband been a teacher?" Georg asked curious about his son-in-law.
"A few years I believe. He was a teacher before I met him."
"How did you two meet?"
"We met at the beach, I was walking and we bumped into each other." Emily said smiling at the memory. "How did you and Maria meet?"
"She was my children's governess and after a while we fell in love." Georg smiling as he put money of the table "It was nice talking to you Emily, say hello to your husband for me."
"I will and tell Maria that I said hi as well." Emily said as she watch her Father leave the restaurant. She sighed as she grabbed the money and took it to the register.
Later at night Emily and Edmund were laughing as they talked about each others day. "My father came into the restaurant today. I think he knows who I am." Emily said from beside her husband.
Edmund looked down at her is surprise, "Really? Thats wonderful, isn't it?" Edmund asked when he saw that Emily wasn't smiling.
"I suppose, I can tell his misses me, but…ever since my Mother died he ignored me and the same day that I left to America we just started to mend our broken relationship. What would you do if you saw your Father after all these years?" Emily asked softly as she leaned against her husband.
"I would talk to him and get to know him. I wouldn't pass up that opportunity and you shouldn't either." Edmund said before leaning down to kiss the top of her head.
I know this chapter is short, but I have a feeling that this story is slowly coming to a close, probably in about two chapters. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. :)
