Date: June 14th 2001 Characters: Octavius Pepper Location: Apartment above, Bones In The Water, Diagon Alley Warnings: none Public/Private: Private Summary: Octavius ponders his role and relationship with teenage daughter Status: Incomplete
Octavius was enjoying a quiet night. He had locked up the shop early-earlier then he normally did anyway. The days that he would have the apartment to himself were swiftly counting down. Of course, he was looking forward to having his daughter home for the summer and with her being in her teen he would probably have to savor as much time with her as possible. She would probably want to go out and have a life. Since it was his daughter, he had no doubt she would assert her independence.
As he sipped his tea, he thought back to his conversation with Meaghan. The more he thought of another person talking to his daughter about the topic of sex, the more it bothered him. He liked to think that he and Diane had a good and close relationship. He had been the only parent that she had known since her birth. As her father, her sole parent, he felt that it was his role to at least try and brooch the topic with her before he passed the buck off to anyone else.
He nodded to himself. He would do that. He would try and talk to Diane. He owed it to her to do that. If it didn’t work out he would consider outsourcing but he had to make the attempt first.
Satisfied with this personal choice, he leaned back in his seat and sipped at the tea. It was a good night.
