“Pregnant?” I whisper.
“Yeah.” She says, tears filling her eyes.
My first reaction is to hug her, but then I can’t.
It was my fault we were in this mess.
I needed to clear my head.
So I walked out.
I wish I didn’t.
***********
She found comfort in a guy friend. She thought I was walking out on her.
But I wasn’t.
I just needed some space… Some time to sort things out in my head.
I needed time to adjust to the fact that I was going to be a dad.
Johnny is two now. And apparently the time we were apart, (Y/N) got close to (Your best guy دوستوں name), and now they were dating. I was extremely jealous to see the mother of my child with another boy, because I still loved her.
So I was with Johnny at the park on one of the days I got him. He was playing around on the playground when he کہا “Mommy and daddy are going to see a movie tonight.”
And I fucking lost it.
My son was calling this other guy daddy.
He was not his father and would never be his father.
And I loved his mother.
So I did the natural thing, take Johnny back to (Y/N)’s house. When she walked toward us, I stopped her and kissed her. One long kiss.
She started to say something but I cut her off.
“I need us again. When I left that دن آپ told me about Johnny, it wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you, it was because I was upset with myself at what I did to you. I had to process some things. I still love you, and always will. Today, Johnny called (your best guy دوستوں name) daddy. I’m his daddy. We need to be the mommy and daddy together. I miss آپ so much.”
Her eyes were watering. “I missed آپ too.”
آپ smiled at him, waiting for him to continue. He grabbed your hand. “I thought it’d be the coolest thing to be a train. I don’t even know why. Maybe because they’re always moving, they’re big, I don’t know.” He shrugs his shoulders.
“But as I got older, I realized I was like a train. Always pushing forward, no turning around of anything. From the looks of it, my train was going to end me up in jail.” He stops walking at the track switch.
“(Y/N), آپ were like my track switch. My train was headed for nowhere till آپ came along. Now I see my train going somewhere, to a house, a family, a life.” He pauses. “And I wanted to say thank you.” He says quietly.
آپ just لپیٹ, لفاف کریں your arms around him.
you and Soda <3
