One Night, Two Dads Chapter 33: Twisted fate
Ethan's POVAs I drove to Elena's place, my mind was a million miles away. I was thinking about Victoria's words, about the possibility that I might not be the father of Elena's child. I was thinking about Elena, about our past and our present. I was thinking about everything, and yet, I was thinking about nothing.My mind was a jumble of emotions and thoughts, and I couldn't seem to focus on anything. I was driving on autopilot, my body going through the motions while my mind was elsewhere.As I drove, I found myself getting more and more anxious. What would I find out when I got to Elena's place? Would I finally get the answers I was looking for?But as I turned a corner, I realized that I wasn't even sure where I was going. I had been driving for so long, lost in my own thoughts, that I had forgotten where I was supposed to be going.I pulled over to the side of the road, feeling a sense of frustration and anxiety. What was I doing? Why was I driving around in circles. As I sat th

Ethan's POVElena smiled weakly as I sat down next to her. "Daniel, Ethan, I'm so happy you're both here," she said, her voice trembling slightly.I nodded, trying to reassure her. "We're here for you, Elena. What's going on?"Elena took a deep breath and closed her eyes, as if collecting her thoughts. "I've done the paternity test," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper.I felt a surge of anticipation, my heart racing with excitement. "Okay, so who's the father?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Elena opened her eyes and looked at me, her expression serious. "Just calm down first, let me gather myself," she said, taking another deep breath.Daniel, who had been quietly observing the scene, suddenly spoke up. "Elena, do you need some water?" he asked, his voice low and soothing.Elena shook her head, but Daniel got up anyway and handed her a glass of water. I watched him, feeling a surge of irritation. What was wrong with this guy? Why was he being so caring and a

Ethan's POVI walked into my house, still feeling like I was on cloud nine. The news that I was going to be a father was still sinking in, and I couldn't wait to share it with my best friend, Ruben. I pulled out my phone and dialed his number, excitement coursing through my veins.Ruben answered on the first ring, and I could hear the sound of music and laughter in the background. "Hey, man, what's up?" he asked, his voice cheerful.I took a deep breath, savoring the moment. "I've got some news to share with you," I said, trying to contain my excitement. "I'm going to be a father!"There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, I wondered if Ruben had heard me correctly. But then, his voice erupted in a loud whoop. "That's amazing, man! Congratulations!"I grinned, feeling a sense of joy and relief wash over me. It was great to share this moment with my best friend. "Thanks, man," I said, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Ruben. "I'm still in shock, to be honest.

Elena's POVI sat on my bed, staring blankly at the wall as I tried to process the news. The paternity test results had confirmed what I had been dreading - Ethan was the father of my child. Not Daniel, the man I loved and had been with for so long.I felt a pang of guilt and sadness as I thought about Daniel. He had been so excited about the possibility of being a father, and now...now he was facing the harsh reality that the child wasn't his. I knew he was hurting, and it broke my heart.But what could I do? I couldn't change the results of the paternity test. All I could do was try to make things right, or at least, try to make things less wrong.I got up from my bed and began to pace around my room. I needed to see Daniel, to check on him and make sure he was okay. I knew he was probably feeling lost and alone right now, and I wanted to be there for him.I took a deep breath and grabbed my phone, dialing Daniel's number. It rang a few times before he picked up, his voice sounding

Elena's POV Daniel leaned back on the couch, a relaxed expression on his face. "You know, I've been thinking," he said, his voice casual. "We've been through a lot together, but I realize I don't really know much about you."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What do you mean?" I asked, playing along.Daniel shrugged. "I mean, we met in a...complicated way, and then everything that happened with the pregnancy and the paternity test...I feel like I've gotten to know you in bits and pieces, but I don't really know the whole story."I smiled, feeling a sense of curiosity. "I think that's fair," I said. "I mean, I don't really know much about you either."Daniel's eyes lit up with interest. "Really?" he asked, leaning forward. "What do you want to know?"I thought for a moment, trying to decide where to start. "Well, for starters, what do you do for a living?" I asked, my eyes locked on his.Daniel smiled, a hint of pride in his voice. "I'm a Architect," he said. "I work for a firm here in

Elena's POV I walked out of Daniel's apartment, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Our conversation had been exactly what I needed - a distraction from the stress and anxiety that had been weighing me down.As I walked down the street, I pulled out my phone to check the time. But as I glanced at the screen, my heart skipped a beat. Six missed calls from Mia.My mind started racing as I quickly dialed Mia's number. What if something had happened to her? What if she needed me and I wasn't there?Mia answered on the first ring, her voice sounding frantic. "Elena, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you for hours."I felt a surge of worry. "I'm so sorry, Mia. I was at Daniel's and I didn't have my phone on. What's going on?"Mia hesitated, and for a moment, I thought I heard her sniffle. "I need you to come home, Elena. Now."My heart started racing as I quickly scanned my surroundings. I was already halfway to the bus stop, but I knew I had to go back. Something was wron

Elena's POVMia walked over to me, concern etched on her face. "Elena, what happened? You were at Daniel's, right? What did he say to you?"I took a deep breath, trying to process everything that had happened. "I was at Daniel's, and we were just talking. He was being really sweet and understanding, and I was feeling okay. But then I saw all the missed calls from you, and I knew something was wrong."Mia nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "I'm so sorry, Elena. I was trying to reach you, but you weren't answering your phone. I was getting really worried."I felt a pang of guilt for not being there for Mia when she needed me. "I'm sorry, Mia. I wasn't feeling really strong this morning, so I was just taking some time for myself."Mia nodded understandingly. "It's okay, Elena. I get it. But then Ethan showed up, and...and everything just fell apart."I frowned, feeling a surge of anger towards Ethan. "What did he do, Mia?"Mia hesitated, her voice barely above a whisper. "He was yel

Elena's POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling a bit more refreshed after a good night's sleep. I decided to check in on Mia, who was still sleeping in her room. As I entered her room, I noticed that she was snuggled up under the blankets, looking a bit pale.I frowned, concern etched on my face. "Mia, are you okay?" I whispered, trying not to wake her up.But Mia didn't stir. She was fast asleep, and I could see that she was breathing heavily, as if she was congested.I decided to make her a hot cup of tea, hoping that it would help soothe her throat and ease her congestion. As I worked in the kitchen, I couldn't help but think about how Mia always took care of me, and now it was my turn to return the favor.Once the tea was ready, I carried it back to Mia's room and gently shook her awake. "Mia, wake up. I made you some hot tea."Mia slowly opened her eyes, looking groggy and disoriented. "Elena...what time is it?" she croaked, her voice hoarse from sleep.I smiled and handed her t

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,
