For me too.
I always wanted children.I always dreamed of the chance to be a parent.I would raise them all equally, showing no favor to any single one.
I always dreamed of passing on my own DNA, but…
What if I don’t?I mean, Bellamy DNA isn’t all that great.My father is a murderer, and my mother has so many blind spots, especially where Eagle is concerned.
What am I thinking anyway?I barely know Daniela.
Except from the moment I first saw her, something in me shifted.I knew she was special.I knew that I needed to know her better.
The physical attraction was undeniable, of course.I mean, she’s fucking beautiful.
Too young, for sure, but I got past that.
So did she.
So much emotional baggage…
Then again, I have my share of that as well.
Really all we need is love.
Love.
Am I ready to?—
“It’s okay, baby,” I say, holding her.“It will all be okay.”
She sobs into my shoulder.“There’s more.”
I pull back slightly.What more can there be?
“It’s…” She swallows.“The reason my father consented to having my tubes tied.”
“Wait, wait, wait…” I look into her dark and soulful eyes.“Why didn’t he have you on birth control?”
She sighs.“Because some of them like a woman ripe.Said they could smell the difference.And some…” She screws her face into a scowl.
“And some?”I prompt.
“Some liked it while I was bleeding.You know.My period.The pills keeps your periods light.”
Fuck.
My body tenses up and I’m ready to fight.Damned good thing Agudelo is already dead.
An IUD would have been a good choice, but Agudelo wanted his daughter to suffer.That much is clear.
“Baby, I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through.”
She sniffles.“That’s not all.”
“Baby…”
My heart is being squeezed.
“Tubal ligations can be reversed,” I say.“I mean, success isn’t guaranteed, but there have been good results?—”
