I can’t say if I would have come this far or built this life if I had. Once the baby was born, I probably would have run back to my father for help, but at least I would have had my child and my woman.
Now… I don’t know what I have. My eyes focus on the small being in my embrace. I pull her to my chest and start to rock. There will be no more hiding this small creature.
I’m not truly sure I want to continue trying to find the missing link to what happened almost three years ago. She’s here, she’s mine, and she needs me to protect her.
I’ve failed one child of mine. I can’t afford to make that mistake with this little one too. It’s not an option.
“Gregor,” my best friend and head of security calls my name.
I look up at Ethan. Clayton and I got lucky with friends. Without David and Ethan, we wouldn’t have been able to pull any of this off.
“We should go. I gave them my information in case they need anything else. For now, let’s get you two out of here,” he says.
“Where’s that woman?” I ask, my voice breaking.
“She said she was going to the restroom and never returned.” He frowns.
“I want her found.”
“I’m on it. Come on,” he replies.
I blow out a breath.
“Take me to the house. My mother is on her way in. When she arrives, I need you to look after them until I can… I need to start fixing my mess,” I say, placing a kiss on my daughter’s small head.
Ethan nods. I see the guilt in his eyes. This isn’t his fault. His sister died the week in question. I wouldn’t have wanted him anywhere other than with his family.
If I got shit-faced and got someone pregnant, that’s on me. I’ve never blamed anyone else for this. I’ve just had questions. None of them matter now.
She’s gone.
