“Still, I’m sorry.”

She leans up and kisses my cheek. “I am…”

she sighs heavily, wrapping her arms around my waist.

I hug her back, rubbing her back and wishing she didn’t feel the way she did. “You’re still young, Little Mate, maybe… in the future sometime you to be the Mom you’ve alwayswill a wanted to be. Maybe not maybe… I think the word I’m looking for is one day. I get you want this, and we’ll get there.”

—

It’s hard for me, but I’m certain there will come a fucking time that I will be ok with it. I know. I will. I don’t think I’ll make the same mistake my mother made with me. Perhaps a talk with Hugh is something I need… to let go of the feelings bottled inside and to get the closure I need.

“Really, you think so…”

her heart races with hope.

“Yeah, I know so. So, cheer up, trust me you really aren’t missing much,”

I say just as we hear a child laugh.

What the-

“The children are here!”

Valerie exclaims, her mood clearly lifting.

Sebastian’s kids…

“I want to see, Mommy. I need to know if he’s good for Aunty Velly!”

I cock a brow, looking at Valerie, who smiles. “That’s Xander, he’s the middle one. Want to go down to meet them?”

she asks.

“Not really,”

I answer.

Like I said, kids and I don’t go.

She looks at me, almost as if debating forcing me to go or respecting my wish.

“Alright… you sure?”

I nod, and she reaches up, hergaze trailing to my lips. “I love you. I want you to know that.”

“Yeah, I know, and you know I love you,”

I answer, cupping her face as I close the gap between us and claim her lips in a deep kiss just as the door flies open.

“Xander!”

Zaia’s voice is firmer than I’ve ever heard. I pull away and Valerie moves back as fast as possible as we both turn to the little boy who has just entered. He has Zaia’s unique purple eyes and dark hair, like his father’s.

“Mommy, I just wanted to see!”

“It’s alright,”

Valerie says as Zaia appears, a disapproving, small frown on her face.

“No. It’s not. He knows he should not enter a room without knocking, and since Xander forgot basic manners, he will wait downstairs until you are ready to come down,”

she says, taking her son’s hand.

Fair parenting.

Valerie pouts as Xander bats his eyes innocently at her before he looks at me suspiciously.”

Your eye is ugly.”

He manages to say, blunt and matter of fact before Zaia shuts the door.

“He’s a menace,”

I remark. I

“He’s quite the handful, so want to come down and meet him and the others?”

“No, I think I’ll stay here. That will serve him right for barging in, so… where the fuck were

We?”

She smiles before snaking her arms around my neck. “Right about here…”

she whispers, tugging me down and pressing her soft lips against mine…

VALERIE.

“Is your Dad here?”

I ask Zaia, as I cuddle the little Kaia.

Goddess, Zaia and Sebastian make the cutest kids.

She sucks her fingers before I remove her hand from her mouth and smile at her, tapping her juicy cheeks.

“He is. He’s with Shelby,”

she says quietly.

Of course, they’ve been together for a while, but since she’s taken ill she’s been staying here as Hugh is often dealing with work.

“I thought he wasn’t around because of Zade,”

I remark softly. It’s still a delicate situation and even I’m not sure how things will go if they cross paths right now.

Zaia smiles sadly. “And that… but I don’t want to push Zade into facing more than he wants to.”

She sighs softly.

“I think I’ll let him know that Hugh is here, just in case he finds that out himself.”

“That’s a good idea.”

Zaia nods. “Dad is trying to stay out of his way, though.”

I smile. “Thanks.”

We fall silent and I sigh, a wave of guilt washing over me. “You think about everything, Zaia. I wish that I was as responsible and reasonable as you…”

“No, I’ve made mistakes too, Valerie, we all do. But I worry for Dad… he is losing the one woman who genuinely loved him for him. The one woman who doesn’t simply want to use him for her own selfish means…”

She sighs softly, and I remain silent.

His life has been cruel…

“I hope she makes it,”

I say quietly. Shelby’s health isn’t looking good, her own cells are attacking her organs.

“So… did you tell Zade?”

I internally flinch at that question. “Yeah, and I…”

“You lied then?”

she asks me gently. I had told her my feelings before Zade had shown up and I could tell she wasn’t too keen on the idea of lying about it but I still did it.

“I did.”

“And did he pass this test that you wanted him to?”

There’s a sad, sympathetic smile on her face, seeing right through me. She knows I regret it.

I sigh as I cradle Kaia. “Yeah, but I feel awful. That wasn’t a test he needed to pass.”

I feel worse than awful. I feel like shit for what I did. That was wrong. Even if he reacted badly, it would have been alright. I shouldn’t have done what I did, but it’s too late to cry over spilt milk. Well, I deserve to feel like crap; I brought it on myself.

“You can say I told you so,”
