The family has been very quiet about the whole thing, no one knows the baby’s name or who the mother is. The only reason I knew about the baby was because he applied for leave from work, he isn’t going to be here for the next two months. He is taking paternity leave.The mere thought of Axel as a father shocks me, not only that I didn’t know he was in a relationship. or that he was expecting a baby. even when I tried to speak to Ava, Axel’s mom.
