Quote of the day
How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.
-Shel Silverstein

Anyway let's get into the story
Chapter 15
Zara POV
I put Adele down on the bed and kissed her forehead. I looked at her one last time before I went into the living room where Brandon was sitting wait for me to talk to him.
The last time I saw Brandon was when he came in the middle of the night and told me that he still loved me. But that was three days ago and it seemed like he was back in New York, I didn't expect him to show up all of a sudden.
I took a deep breath in and then walked down the stairs where Brandon was sitting. He had his hands on chin and he was looking down at the coffee table, this meant that he was deep in thought. When we were married every time something big happened like this he would always be in this position and he would be thinking.
I sat down on the single chair next to him. It was very silent I was so scared to even say something.
"Is she my child" he said but he was not looking at me but instead he was looking at the coffee table.
"Yes" was all I said
He closed his eyes and put his hands over his face and then said
"Were you ever going to tell me" he asked me
I furrowed when he said, did he just at this question. When he was asking me to sign the papers wasn't he the one telling me that he wanted nothing to do with Adele.
"I told you the day you kicked me out of your house do you remember" I told him
"I...i....I don't even know what to say" he said and paused "when you told me that you were pregnant when I kicked you out I thought you just wanted me to let stay....I didn't think that you were serious. You knew that for a long time that I always wanted a child so when you told me that I thought you used that as a excuse for me to make you stay. But I was being stupid and now I am suffering from my mistakes in the past." He said and that broke my heart when he said that. I got up and sat next to him and rubbed his back.
I don't like seeing people that I love in pain especially Brandon. We have a past but that doesn't mean that I will leave him when he is in pain.
"It is okay Brandon, we all mistakes that doesn't make you less of a human"
He sighed and it was silent for a while. Know that he knows that Adele is her daughter he would now want to take her away from me. That is not putting me at ease, because Adele would not be happy to be with someone she doesn't know. But if we tell her that Brandon is her father she would probably be happy to finally meet her father.
But he broke it once again and this time looked at me dead in the eyes.
"What is her name" he asked
"Her name is Adele"
He looked at me and gave me the biggest smile.
That name meant a lot to him and I at one point. When we were married we always talked about the names we would give our children the name Adele because that was his Grandmothers name. He loved her so much when she was alive, and I feel so happy to have the privilege to have actually meet her. She was just as sassy and bossy as Adele was, when she told Brandon to jump he would ask how high and he would do it within a heart beat. When She dead a part of Brandon's heart also died because they were so close and he made sure to call her every single day. So don't think that I named Adele after the famous singer Adele.
"That means a lot to me Zara thank you" He said , I could tell that he wanted to kiss me but instead hugged me. I froze but then returned the hug.
"When can I actually meet her,and when can we tell her that I am her father." He asked him
"Hold your horses, Brandon I feel like I need to be mentally prepared to also tell her. You need to remember that all she knows in this world is me"
"Okay, we can do it whenever you are ready but it has to be soon. Because if we tell her to late I don't think she will want me in her life anymore" he said and sounded really disappointed
"Okay tell you what when you come back from New York you can come over and we can have dinner then we can break the news to her" I said
"Perfect" he smiled and my belly start to tingle again. What is up with this man and making my belly feel this find of way.
I felt fond of sad because Adele only knows me and depends on me and I don't want to share my baby with Brandon. But I guess when me and Brandon were making her it was the two of us and she is only 50% of me and 50% Brandon's so I guess have to let go.
To be continued.....
