Phil smiled and looked super relaxed "Let me meet this playa." Phil said as he approached Dylan "Phil Dunphy, yo" he said as he shook Dylan's hand.
"Yo" Dylan awkwardly responded back.
"Okay, I see you guys have-" Haley was trying to end this already as stepped past Phil to drag Dylan away.
"Wait, wait, wait! You two… you two keep it real, know what I mean, son?" Phil said acting as he fired off finger guns at Dylan.
"Not really" Dylan said feeling profundly confused.
Haley hasd asked him to come meet her parents out of the blue without any real explanation.
All Dylan knew was this was just a casual meet with her parents.
"Oh my god Please stop." Haley whispered underneath her breath to Phil.
Liam who was chilling on the couch suddenly had a thought strike him.
"Did I wipe the baby oil from the railing?" He questioned.
"Fuck!" Liam realized that in his thoughts over bitcoin he had completely forgotten to clean up the oil.
"That's cool" he heard Phil say.
"DAD NO!" Liam jumped of the couch and shouted but unfortunetly it was too late.
Phil placed his hand on the ralling to chill on and at this very moment his hand slipped off stair rail "Ow! Oh god, that's my back!"
"Sweetheart…"
"Ow! Oh, I slipped on... baby oil?" Phil said with a crease of his forehead as he looked at his glistening hand and smelt the smell of baby oil.
Liam quickly rushed over and with the help of Dylan they carefully brought Phil to the sofa to lay him down.
"There you go." Dylan said as he put Phil down.
"Okay, let's go" Haley said as she grabbed Dylan and dragged him away.
"I am on my side, though, so just flip me right back and we're good.
We'll be good.
I just need to get flipped right on my back, and we should be fine, so…" Phil began saying to no one in particular, he couldn't see anyone in his vision.
He just hoped somebody was listening.
"I got you dad" Liam said he flipped Phil onto his back.
"Thank you Liam" Phil said with relief.
"Sorry I forgot to clean up the baby oil over there" Liam appologised as he genuinely felt super guilty over it.
"Ah don't worry about it buddy, it happens" Phil reassured Liam, who nodde, but that only made Liam feel worse.
"So are you still gonna be doing the house showing?" Liam asked.
It was clear to Liam that Phil was not even able to turn his body to lay on his back.
It would be good if he managed to stand up and walk in the next few hours.
"Yes I still have to do the house showing, it's a property I've been unable to get rid off for a while so I can't miss this chance" Phil said.
"But you cant even flip yourself on the couch how are you gonna do the showing?" Liam asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Ah dont worry about all that, your dad is strong guy" Phil said with a laugh but suddenly went quiet "I will still need Claire to drop me off tho at the house tho, if you want to, you can come along and set up everything for the showing" Phil said.
Although he was confident in his ability to push through the pain, If Liam could help him, it would make setting up, so much easier on him.
"Yea sure, Ill come along and help set everything up" Liam nodded with a smile.
He felt guilty, that was for sure.
But there was something more.
He couldn't bear to see this person he has been calling Dad for the past 36 hours bear through pain indirectly cuased by himself.
I can provide ease to Phil, Liam thought to himself, he never had a father figure in his previous life, but he has one now.
He could watch Phil struggle through pain when he was here and could help.
About three hours soon passed before Phil and Liam finally got home, successfully having managed to sell that property, and it was time for Luke to get shot.
Liam also managed to score a 100$ as commission from Phil.
Liam wished to join in on the fun, but he simply did not want to get shot.
"Btw dad I think that gun Luke has is defective, propably has a sensitive trigger which causes it shoot even with the slightest pressure on the trigger" Liam said.
"Oh! that explains a lot" Phil said.
"I guess, Luke might just be able to avoid getting shot" Phil said with a smile.
As it would turn out.
10 minutes later.
Phil would be standing in the backyard, facing Luke who was already getting teary eyed with a gun in Phil's hand while Alex and Liam stood a little further away in the backyard.
Claire watched from within the house, the backyard door acting as protection incase things don't pan out.
"I'm sorry dude, I tried" Phil said.
"DAD please" Luke pleaded.
"Shoot him!" Alex shouted from the corner.
Phil squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth as he raised the toy bb gun, gripping it with both hands he aimed at Luke's hand.
His finger pressed up against the plastic trigger.
Luke braced for impact, knowing there was no way he could avoid it.
Phil felt a drop of sweat drip from his forehead.
His grip over the gun wavering, his finger at this time pressed the trigger with just a little more force.
The gun fired.
The BB Bullet leaving the chamber.
Covering a large distance at rapid speeds before smashing into Luke's arm.
Luke fell on his knees, expecting intense pain.
And it came for sure, a stinging feeling spread causing Luke to clutch his arm tightly.
"My God... it's like we are watching a real life execution scene" Liam thought as he watched everything unfold feeling chills.
"YES!" Alex who was besides Liam cheered as she had finally managed to get revenge.
Luke looked up at Phil who looked heart broken, as If he had actually shot his son.
"You know it was the BB guns fault, why father, WHY?!" Luke shouted, begging for answers, still on his knees tears threatening to fall out.
"I'm sorry, it was 2 against 1" Phil tried to justify it until he let out a sigh knowing there was no way he could.
"Your father is a weak man Luke, will you ever forgive this weak father of yours for this" Phil asked with a low tone.
"Not anytime soon" Luke said as he put his head down, unable to meet Phils eyes, his palms clutching his arm that was shot with a stronger grip.
Claire at this time walked away seeing that the deal with Phil had been brought to fruition and Liam stepped forward.
"Guys we still have to go to Uncle Prichetts and uncle Camrons house for dinner" Liam said with his phone out showing the time.
