For Daniel LaRusso (adult)
Johnny had been surprised when Sam had shown up at his apartment. Not because they hadn't kept in touch. They had. She was his daughter, too, dammit. But because of what she said when she did show up. Daniel was sick. Like, really sick. And Johnny had just lost Tommy. So, this was a huge blow. And she told him that he was going to be the one to have to make the effort, because Daniel was too stubborn to. And he knew that. It was incredibly unbelievable that Daniel could be that stubborn, but he was. All part of being a LaRusso, which Johnny knew, since he was one. He'd taken Daniel's name when they got married.
And ever since then, he'd mostly just been missing Daniel. It had been almost six years. He'd had a random hookup here or there, but that was it. He'd wanted to mend things, but he'd been too stubborn too. Johnny couldn't even remember why they'd broken up in the first place. So after he'd gotten through taking the news, which he thought was better than it could have been, mostly because his daughter was there, and he didn't want to be weak in front of her, this was happening to her, too, he went with her to the house.
It was surprising Daniel had never moved, and it was surreal as Johnny walked inside, and Sam called out for Daniel. Then there was the other thing she'd told him. She was pregnant. Daniel was going to lose his shit. Johnny was going to speak to Miguel, and give that kid a piece of his mind, but they had to deal. They couldn't change it, only decide what to do about it.
