He nodded, feeling the weight of his guilt crushing down on him.

"I'm so sorry, Valerie. I know I should have told you the truth from the beginning, but I was afraid of losing you. I love you so much, and I didn't want to lose you," He said, his voice cracking with emotion.

Valerie pulled her hand away from Fred's and sat up in the hospital bed, staring at him with a mix of anger and hurt.

It was the man of my dreams!No literally!It was the man showing up in my dream repeatedly!Written boldly underneath was 'Stephano'...How could this be?"Oh my gosh, you have such a pretty daughter and she looks just like the man on the poster" a middle aged woman who was passing by gushed on seeing Fiona."Why, thank you" I replied."Fiona stared at the man in the poster and looked at herself through the glass window."Mom, is that my real dad?" Fiona exclaimed.Fiona was already aware that Fred wasn't her biological dad, we both decided it was better to let her know very early on to prevent confusions later in the future.
