Chapter 0254
Once he leaves, the rest go back to Ava’s room while I stay back for a little bit. I just
needed time to breathe. Everything was happening so fast and so differently. I was having
a hard time catching up.
I get back to her room after I’m sure that I’m more in control. I find Letty, Corrine, and
Calvin introducing
themselves.
“You’re nerdy Cal,” Ava says with a smile. He gives her a glare, but there isn’t any heat
behind it. “It’s such
a small world that our sons are now best friends.”
“it is,” he simply says.
No one mentions that Gunner is also Emma’s son.
“So, mom, when are you going to see Iris?” Noah asks after the introductions are over.
“Can they bring her to me? I’m eager to see her.” her smile is radiant and beautiful.
Something that I
haven’t seen in a long time. “I still can’t believe we have a daughter”

Seeing my dilemma, Nora picks up the phone from the side table and calls the nurse
station. Requesting
for Nora to be brought.
It doesn’t take long before Mary arrives with the precious bundle.
“It’s good to see you up Ava, there’s someone who has waited long enough to see her
mother” she smiles at her and places Iris in Ava’s arms.
She then leaves, and promises to come back later to pick her up.
“Oh dear Lord” Ava breathes. “She’s so beautiful”
“She looks just like you, mom” Noah, adds.
Iris didn’t fuss or anything like that. Probably because she was asleep. We all watch in awe
as Ava falls in love with Iris. A daughter she doesn’t remember conceiving.
When Noah complains of hunger, Corrine and Letty offer to take him to buy something to
eat while buying for the rest of us. Cal excuses himself. He had to go pick up Gunner from
school.
Where is the rest of the family? Do they really don’t care about me?”

They’ll be here soon enough, but there is something you have to be prepared for” I tell
her.
There were things that were just too big and too F***ing important to hide. I was about to
tell her about James being dead when a gasp leaves her mouth.
I turn her worriedly only to find her staring at Iris with shock and confusion.
What is it, Ava”
“Why are her eyes blue? No one in your family has blue eyes and if what you’re telling me
it’s true and mother and father are not my parents, then she shouldn’t have blue eyes
This is the other thing I wasn’t willing to lie to Ava about. Iris’s real father. My eyes slide to
her parents, but they also looked panicked. Looks like they won’t be of any help.
“She got them from her dad” I take a deep breath.
“You’re her dad”
“No, I’m not”
“Oh my God. Did I cheat you? Is that what happened?” she asks in panic while frantically

Iris who was now screaming her little lungs out.
I don’t know if it’s because Ava’s panic spooked her, or because Ava was basically a
stranger to her.
Taking Iris from her arms, I hold her close to me before k*ssing her cheek. She
immediately settles down and goes back to sleep.
“It’s a long story and I’ll tell you one of these days, but you didn’t cheat on me”
You better”
Maybe by the time she demands answers, I will have come up with a reasonable
explanation for her, as to why Iris had a different father without making her think that she
cheated.
“So when am I going home” she’s a bit more calm as she asks.
Tomorrow
Sereat, I can’t wait to be back home.”
