Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 51 — His confession.
CHRISTOPHER I walked over to the person and sat down next to them, taking the empty seat beside them. They didn't seem to notice my presence, their head still hanging low as they wept. Their sobs were now softer, their grief seeming to have subsided slightly. I sat there, unsure of what to do or say. I just wanted to be there for them, in case they needed anything.I cleared my throat, trying to find the right words to say. "Hey, man. Are you good?" I asked softly. I wanted to let him know that I was there if he needed to talk. I could see that he was struggling, and I wanted to offer him a listening ear.I raised my hand and placed it on his back. The man remained silent, his shoulder trembling slightly under my hand. I kept my hand there, hoping that the gesture would offer him some comfort. I was starting to feel a bit anxious, unsure of what to do next. But I knew that I needed to give him time to process his emotions. So I waited and hoped that he would eventually open up to me
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 52 — Meet my son.
SELENA"What did she say?" I asked, as I approached Christopher, who was holding his phone between his shoulder and his ear. He gave me a quick glance and a tight-lipped smile and then turned his attention back to the phone call.I could tell that he was trying to focus on the conversation, but I was curious to know what was going on. I tried to be patient and wait for him to finish the call, but my curiosity got the better of me.As I started to turn away from him, he shook his head and grabbed my hand. I stopped in my tracks, unsure of what to do. He continued talking on the phone, motioning for me to wait. I stood still, trying not to fidget or move around too much. It was clear that he wanted me to stay put until he was done with the call.I could feel my heart beating faster, my mind racing with questions about what was happening with the babysitter. I tried to remain calm, but I was starting to feel anxious about the situation.Christopher gave me a sheepish smile as he put his
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 53 — He's such a sweetheart.
SELENA"I can't believe it!" Mitchell exclaimed, a big smile spreading across her face. She couldn't stop staring at Liam, who was sitting on my lap, happily gazing back at her. "You have a son? How did this happen?" She looked at me, her eyes wide with curiosity. I let my gaze dropped to the floor as I thought to myself; perhapsI had made a mistake by bringing Liam out. A huge mistake at that."Crazy right?" I said, laughing nervously. I took Liam's hands in mine, starting to clap them together. He giggled, completely oblivious to the tension in the air."Not crazy," Mitchell said firmly, raising her index finger for emphasis. Her face lit up with a bright smile, and she leaned forward, fixing her gaze on me. "It's just... unexpected. But it's not crazy at all." She reached out and placed her hand on my arm, giving it a reassuring squeeze.I met her gaze, feeling my own smile forming on my lips. "Thanks," I said, feeling the tension in my body start to melt away. "I really appreciat
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 54 — It's wrong to keep him a secret.
SELENA"You're buying way too much," I said, looking at the cart, which was already overflowing with children's books. I grabbed a stack of books from the top of the pile and placed them back on the shelf. "That's enough," I said firmly.Mitchell frowned, clearly disappointed by my decision. "But he needs more books," she protested, reaching for another stack of books."I know he does, but you're buying more than he needed.” I grabbed her hand and started pulling her away. After dropping Liam off at the playground, Mitchell had insisted that we stop by the bookstore to buy some children's books. I knew she had the best intentions, but I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the amount of money we were spending."I just want to make sure he has every book he needs," she said, her eyes pleading with me. "It's not like we're going to do this every day."I sighed, knowing that she was right, but I still felt uneasy about having her spend so much money. "I know," I said softly. "But I think

SELENAAfter watching Liam play, it became clear that he must be hungry, so we decided to get some lunch at a nearby restaurant. It was a small, family-owned place, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We sat down at a table, and the waiter brought over some menus.Mitchell picked up the menu, scanning it with interest. "This place looks delicious," she said. "What do you think, Liam?" she asked, turning to the little boy who was sitting in his high chair."Hungry!" Liam exclaimed, clapping his hands.I chuckled, adjusting him on the seat."I'm going to get a pizza with pineapple juice," I said, glancing at Mitchell, who was still looking at the menu. "For me and Liam, of course."Mitchell finally looked up from the menu, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Pineapple juice?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Are you sure that's a good idea for a toddler?"I shrugged, grinning at her. "Why not? Live a little!"She laughed, and I could see that she was warming up to the idea. "Alrig

PEDROIt was already late and I was still stuck in my office, going through some documents, when my phone started buzzing. I glanced at the caller ID, and my heart sank when I saw that it was my secretary. I knew it must be important, but I wasn't in the mood to talk to him. I tossed the phone aside, resuming my work.But the phone started buzzing again, insistent and persistent. I sighed, knowing that I couldn't ignore it any longer. Reluctantly, I picked up the phone and answered it. "What is it?" I asked, my voice curt."More documents?" I scoffed, rolling my eyes as I looked back down at the papers in front of me. "I haven't even finished with these ones yet."There was a pause, and then my secretary's voice came through the line, sounding hesitant. "It's not about the documents, sir," he said, sounding a bit nervous. “Good.” I exhaled and then dropped the call.Just as I was about to turn off my phone, it started ringing again. I clenched my jaw in frustration, knowing that it

SELENAMy hands clenched and unclenched as I followed Pedro into his apartment. He was carrying Liam, who was wrapped in his jacket to protect him from the rain. I could see my son's head peeking out from under the jacket, his eyes wide with wonder. He looked at me with curiosity, and I gave him a small smile, trying to appear calm, just for him.My emotions were swirling inside me, a jumble of anger, sadness, and disbelief. I wanted to scream at Pedro, to demand to know how he could not have known that the little boy he was holding was his own son. I wanted to shake him, to make him see the truth that was so obvious to me. But I held myself back, not wanting to scare Liam or cause a scene.Instead, I forced myself to take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I had to stay rational, to think clearly. As we reached the living room, Pedro stopped and turned to face me. I saw him arch an eyebrow as he noticed that I was shivering, my wet clothes clinging to my body. I couldn't
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 58 — Let's cover you with my scents.
SELENAI strolled out of Pedro’s bedroom after having done with my shower. I entered his living room and halted on my track. There, Pedro sat on the couch, he had Liam in between his legs and a bowl of cereal was on the table across from him.Wait, was he feeding our son his dinner?A warm smile tugged on my lips as I dragged my feet towards them. Pedro’s shoulders heaved upon hearing my approaching footsteps.He dropped the spoon he was holding and gazed at me over his shoulder. “Hey, you are done?” Pedro smiled, turning his full attention on me.I nodded. “Yeah.”“Not bad.” He chuckled, referring to his jacket which seemed to be overly too long for me.I threw my hands to my back, hiding the long sleeves that kept dangling. Suddenly feeling too shy to present myself to him. “Thank you,” I mumbled.“Come here,” he grunted out an order, I swallowed hard and moved my almost jelly legs to where he was seated.“Here,” he pointed at the little space beside him when I didn't make any move
