One Night, Two Dads Chapter 25: Betrayal and Forgiveness
Daniel's POV Krissy drew another card, her eyes scanning the question. "Okay, next question," she said, reading from the card. "Have you ever had sex with someone else while in a relationship?"Krissy hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I have," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Elrod's face turned beet red with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table. "What the hell, Krissy?" he exclaimed, his voice thundering through the room.Krissy stood up, her eyes flashing with defiance. "What's the point of getting angry, Elrod?" she asked, her voice rising.Elrod's face twisted in rage, and he stood up, towering over Krissy. "You want to know why I'm angry?" he spat, his voice venomous. "I'm angry because you had sex with another man while we were in a relationship. That's a betrayal, Krissy. A huge betrayal."Krissy rolled her eyes, her expression dismissive. "Oh, come on, Elrod. Don't be so dramatic," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Elrod's anger boiled over

Elena's POVI settled into my plush bed, surrounded by the soothing silence of my bedroom. My best friend, Mia, lounged beside me, both of us scrolling through our phones in comfortable synchrony. The soft glow of the screens cast a calming ambiance, and for a moment, everything felt peaceful. But beneath the surface, my mind was a whirlwind of emotions, all centered around the tiny human growing inside me.My hand instinctively drifted to my belly, which was gradually rounding out. The pregnancy was taking a toll on me, both physically and mentally. The constant fatigue, mood swings, and anxiety were starting to wear me down. I couldn't help but wonder how my life was going to change once the baby arrived. Would I be a good mother? Would I be able to balance parenthood with my own aspirations? The questions swirled in my head, making it hard to quiet my racing thoughts.This coming Friday loomed large in my mind. That's when I would finally get the results of the paternity test, and

Elena's POVMia settled back into her pillow, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "You know, Elena, I was thinking...this baby is going to be so lucky to have you as a mom."I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart. "Thanks, Mia. I'm trying to stay positive and focus on the future."Mia nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! And I know it's not going to be easy, especially with the paternity test results coming up. But I just know that you're going to be an amazing mom, no matter what."I laughed, shaking my head. "You're making me blush, Mia."Mia grinned mischievously. "I'm serious, though! You're going to be so great at this. And I know Daniel is going to be a great support system for you too."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What makes you say that?"Mia shrugged. "I don't know, I just get a good vibe from him. He seems like the type of guy who would really care about you and the baby."I nodded thoughtfully, my mind wandering to Daniel. He had been texting me regularly, checking in an

Elena's POVI woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing on my nightstand. I groggily reached over to silence it, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. As I sat up, I noticed two text messages on my screen. One from Daniel, and one from Ethan.I raised an eyebrow as I read through the messages. Ethan's message was brief and to the point. "Good morning. Glad we're getting the paternity test tomorrow."Daniel's message, on the other hand, was more thoughtful. "Good morning. How are you feeling today?"I scowled, feeling a surge of annoyance. Why was Ethan suddenly so interested in the paternity test? And why was Daniel being so...sweet?I tossed my phone aside, deciding to ignore both messages for now. I threw off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, planting my feet firmly on the ground.Mia stirred beside me, yawning. "Morning. How was your night?" she asked, stretching.I shrugged. "It was fine, I guess. I had some weird dreams, though."Mia's eyes lit up with interest. "Oh

Elena's POV As we finished our shopping trip, Mia and I decided it was time to head home and take a well-deserved rest. We had been on our feet all day, and the stress of preparing for the baby's arrival was starting to take its toll."I'm exhausted," I said, yawning as we stepped into the taxi.Mia nodded in agreement. "Me too. I think we've earned a relaxing evening at home."As soon as we arrived home, I headed straight to the kitchen to start making dinner. I decided on a hearty brown hot soup, hoping the comforting flavors would help ease my frazzled nerves.Mia settled onto the couch, putting her feet up and closing her eyes. "I'm so grateful for you, Elena," she said, her voice muffled by the couch cushions. "You're always taking care of me."I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart. "That's what friends are for, Mia."As the soup simmered on the stove, the aroma filled the entire house, making our mouths water in anticipation. I served it up with some crusty bread, and we sat d

Elena's POVAs the sun began to rise, I stirred in my bed, slowly coming awake. I was pregnant, and I had a big day ahead of me - the paternity test. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and swung my legs over the side of the bed, feeling a bit groggy.I got out of bed and began to get dressed, choosing a beautiful long gown that accommodated my growing belly. My hair was styled perfectly, and I had a calm, serene look on my face.As I made my way downstairs, I saw my best friend Mia already in the kitchen, sipping on a cup of tea. "Hey girl, good morning!" she said, trying to sound cheerful.I smiled and joined her at the table. "Good morning! Yeah, I'm up early today. I have a big day ahead of me."Mia nodded, knowing exactly what I was referring to. "Oh yeah, the paternity test! I didn't forget, I swear."I laughed, feeling a bit nervous. "I know you didn't. But anyway, I'm going to get going soon. I just need to finish getting ready."As we chatted, my phone buzzed with an incoming tex

Ethan's POVI paced back and forth in my living room, my eyes fixed on the clock on the wall. Today was the day - the day Elena would finally find out who the father of her baby was. And I couldn't wait to hear the news. I had been thinking about this moment nonstop for weeks, my mind racing with possibilities.My heart skipped a beat at the thought of being a dad. I had always wanted to be a father, to have a child to love and care for. And now, with Elena's pregnancy, that dream seemed within reach. I just hoped that it was my name that would be called, that I would be the one to get the chance to be a dad.I stopped pacing and sat down on the couch, running my hands through my hair. I was nervous, anxious to hear the news. What if it wasn't me? What if Daniel was the father? The thought sent a pang of jealousy through me, and I pushed it aside. I couldn't think like that. I had to stay positive.I glanced at my phone, willing it to ring. Where was Elena? Had she gone to the hospita

Ethan's POVI sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV as I waited for Elena's call. Ruben, my best friend, was sitting next to me, sipping on a beer."We'll be waiting for a while," Ruben said, nodding towards the phone. "Elena's probably still at the hospital, getting the results."I nodded, feeling a sense of impatience wash over me. I just wanted to know, one way or the other.Just as I was starting to get restless, the doorbell rang. Ruben got up to answer it, and a few seconds later, Victoria walked into the room."Hey, guys," she said, flashing a bright smile. "What's up?"I raised an eyebrow, surprised by her sudden visit. "Not much, Victoria. Just waiting for Elena to call."Victoria's smile faltered for a second, and then she sat down next to me on the couch. "Oh, yeah. The paternity test results. I'm sure it'll be interesting."Ruben raised an eyebrow, sensing the tension in the air. "Victoria, what are you doing here?"Victoria shrugged. "Just thought I'd drop by and ke

One Night, Two Dads Chapter 117: Love, Resilience and Strength
Elena's POV Four years had passed, and life had unfolded in ways I never could have imagined.Daniel and I are married now. It wasn’t a grand, extravagant event — just a small ceremony with close friends and family. But it had been perfect. I still remembered the way Daniel’s eyes locked on mine as I walked down the aisle, the way his fingers trembled slightly when he slid the ring onto my finger. The way his whispered “I love you” had calmed my nerves in an instant.Our wedding may have been simple, but our love? That was anything but.Chase was four years old now — bright-eyed, full of questions, and sweet in ways that melted my heart. He had Daniel’s calm nature — steady and thoughtful — but with just enough of my stubbornness to keep things interesting.“Mom!” Chase’s little voice rang out from the living room. “Can you tie my shoe?”“Coming!” I called back, setting my coffee mug down.When I stepped into the room, I couldn’t help but smile. Chase sat cross-legged on the carpet,
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 116: Sweet Surprise
Elena's POV The warmth of morning sunlight kissed my face, stirring me awake. My lashes fluttered as I blinked a few times, adjusting to the light streaming through the curtains. Something felt... different. The room smelled faintly of lavender, and the air carried a sense of calm — unusual for my chaotic life these days.I sat up slowly, my gaze sweeping across the room. My eyes widened.Everything was spotless — no, perfect. The clothes I’d left scattered on the chair were neatly folded. The empty glasses on the nightstand were gone. Even the floor looked freshly mopped, shining faintly in the morning glow. A bouquet of fresh roses sat on the dresser, their vibrant red petals bright against the white vase.Daniel.I smiled to myself. He was always doing things like this — quietly stepping in to make my life easier without asking for credit. My heart warmed at the thought.I turned to check on Chase. He was curled up on his side, snuggled beneath the covers, his little face relaxed
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 115: In our feelings
Elena's POV I spent most of the day convincing myself that I was ready — that talking to Daniel wouldn’t be as terrifying as I’d built it up to be. Mia’s words kept replaying in my head.“Don’t let fear stop you from something that could actually make you feel whole again.”By evening, I was still nervous, but I knew I couldn’t keep running from this. It was time.The next morning, I got up early to prepare Chase’s bag — diapers, wipes, his favorite stuffed elephant — the usual things I carried when we went out. He was getting so big now, already crawling everywhere, babbling non-stop. Each day, he felt more and more like a little person, and I knew Daniel had played a huge part in that.After dressing Chase in his soft blue onesie, I scooped him into my arms.“Alright, little man,” I whispered, “let’s go see Daniel.”---Daniel greeted me with his usual warm smile when I arrived. He stood in the doorway, his hair still damp from a shower, dressed in a fitted black t-shirt and jeans.
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 114: Take me to the clouds
Elena's POV I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to shake Daniel’s words from my mind.“I’m here... not just as a friend, but as someone who cares about you.”I closed my eyes, replaying that moment over and over again. The warmth in his voice, the softness in his gaze — it all lingered in my thoughts, making my chest feel tight.The truth was, I’d been denying it for weeks. The way my heart raced whenever he smiled, the way I caught myself thinking about him even when he wasn’t around. I told myself it was nothing — that it was just comfort, or maybe gratitude.But it wasn’t.I knew it.I rolled onto my side, clutching the pillow close to my chest. Daniel had been denying it too — pushing his feelings aside, holding back when it was so clear he wanted more. I could see it in his eyes when we talked, feel it in those quiet moments when his hand lingered just a second too long.He wanted me.And the truth was... I wanted him too.But I didn’t know how to say it. After so much
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 113: Cut to the feeling
Elena's POVI lay on my bed, the soft hum of the ceiling fan above me creating a calming rhythm. My body felt heavy, not with exhaustion but with a strange sense of peace. For the first time in a long while, life felt... manageable. Maybe even a little happy.Chase’s giggles still echoed in my head — that sweet, bubbly laugh that made my heart melt every single time. He was growing so fast. Just yesterday, he was this tiny bundle in my arms, barely able to hold up his head. Now, he was crawling around the house like he owned the place, babbling "goo goo ga ga" as if he had so much to say but just couldn’t find the words yet.I smiled to myself, turning onto my side to stare at the empty spot beside me on the bed.Daniel had been coming around more often lately — always showing up with a warm smile, always willing to lend a hand. What started as simple work discussions had shifted into something... more. Something I couldn’t quite put my finger on.I remembered the way he looked at me
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 112: Resilience
Elena's POVAs the evening at the Pizza Club in McPherson, Kansas, drew to a close, the warmth of the celebration lingered in the air. Laughter and the aroma of freshly baked pizza had filled the room, creating memories we would cherish. Daniel, ever the gentleman, offered to escort me outside while the others settled the bill.Stepping out into the night, a brisk March breeze greeted us, sending a shiver down my spine. Noticing my discomfort, Daniel immediately shrugged off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders."Here, take this," he said, his voice filled with concern. "Can't have you catching a cold now."I looked up at him, gratitude warming me more than the jacket ever could. "Thank you, Daniel. You're always so thoughtful."We began to stroll along the quiet street, the soft glow of streetlights casting elongated shadows on the pavement. The town had a serene quality at night, with only the distant hum of traffic disrupting the silence."So, how have you been?" I asked, gla
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 111: Celebration night
Elena's POV I sat on the couch, scrolling mindlessly through my phone when Mia burst into the room, her face glowing like the morning sun."Elena!" she practically screamed.I barely had time to react before she flopped down beside me, hugging a throw pillow tightly against her chest."What's gotten into you?" I laughed, setting my phone aside."Guess what!" she grinned, her excitement practically bouncing off the walls."What?" I asked, leaning in eagerly."James proposed to me yesterday!" she squealed, flashing her hand in front of me. The silver ring caught the light perfectly, sparkling like something out of a fairy tale.My eyes widened, and in the next second, we were both on our feet, screaming and jumping like a pair of schoolgirls."Are you serious?!" I grabbed her hand, inspecting the ring like a jeweler. "Oh my gosh, Mia, it's beautiful!""Right?! He planned this whole surprise dinner — candles, roses, everything — and then just got down on one knee right in front of every
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 110: Setting Boundaries.
Elena's POV Rumor had it that Ethan was in New York. Apparently, he'd been staying lowkey since the whole scandal started, but Daniel somehow managed to track down where he was staying.“We should go talk to him,” Daniel said as we sat in his apartment, reviewing the evidence again.I raised an eyebrow. “Confront him? Just like that?”Daniel leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming on the table. “If he’s in New York, this is the perfect chance to clear things up. He needs to know the truth — and fast.”I exhaled slowly, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. “Yeah... you're right. Let's do it.”A couple of hours later, we were standing outside a sleek hotel in Manhattan. My heart hammered in my chest as we walked inside. Ethan wasn’t exactly the most predictable person — especially now. I wasn’t sure how he’d react to what we were about to tell him.“Are you sure he’s here?” I asked, clutching my bag tightly.Daniel nodded. “I called ahead. He's in his room.”The elevator ride
One Night, Two Dads Chapter 109: Almost Done
Elena's POVDaniel was working tirelessly — even I could see it. The dark circles beneath his eyes were impossible to miss, and his sharp features seemed a little sunken. He looked exhausted — like he’d been running on fumes for days.All this... just to help me.I didn’t know whether to feel touched or guilty. Maybe both.That evening, I decided to stop by his apartment. Mia had mentioned earlier that she and Mr. Johnson were going out tonight, which meant Chase was with Jade. That gave me some free time — and a perfect reason to check on Daniel.I knocked softly on his door, half-hoping he’d already fallen asleep so I could just leave and convince myself he was taking care of himself.“Come in,” his tired voice called out.I stepped inside and felt my heart twist. He was sitting at his desk, surrounded by papers, files, and — oh my God — three empty coffee mugs. His laptop screen glowed faintly, bathing his face in pale blue light.“Hey,” I said softly, trying to sound casual.“Oh,
