RONNELL POV

My original one-week trip plan was extended to two weeks due to unforeseen commitments that couldn't be postponed.

Upon my return to my hotel room, I sought solace in the most comforting part of my day: bedtime with Blair and Nathan. As Blair nursed our little champ, I chatted with them both, watching Nathan grow drowsy.

“He looks bigger, Princess.”

Blair grinned widely. “That sounded like an accusation.”

“It was. I told Nathan not to change while I was gone. He promised.”

“You and I know that two weeks is a long time in the grand scheme of his short little life, you know. But I will be stern and forbid him from growing even more.” she wagged her finger at Nathan. “Did you hear that, no more growing up until Ronnell is back home, Nathy?”

Nathan coo-shot me in the gut. A few more days, and I would be back with them.

Blair finished nursing Nathan before putting him in his bassinet for the night. He was sincerely becoming bigger. Soon, he would need a crib. We would have to

I had to come back to the Netherlands to—-”I raised a brow. “To what? What possible reason could you have for abandoning Blair with a damn house you knew damn well that you had placed on collateral? You knew that she would be left with nothing but you still did what you wanted, didn't you?”He held up his hand. “Not everything is as simple as that. I know that I made a few mistakes, but if you speak to Blair, you will know that I'm trying very hard to make things right. Blair and the baby would be coming here—-”“What is his name?”“His mouth fell open. “what?”“The baby. What's his name?”He stared at me, and I practically saw his brain trying to shake off a thick coating of dust so he could use it. But it was of no use. “I… don't know. But that isn't the point.”“You're right. The point is, you are a deadbeat, and if y

    BLAIR POV"Ronnell," My breath caught in my throat as I spotted him amidst the crowd. My heart pounded so violently, that I thought it might burst. As he approached, I realized I was still clutching the silly sign with his name scrawled across it. Two weeks felt like an eternity. Any resistance I'd built up to his magnetic pull had vanished. The sight of him sent a shiver down my spine, and seeing him again made my knees weak for so many reasons.Firstly, I missed him.Secondly, I intended to inform him that Nathan is his son and share the reasons that led me to conceal this information initially.Thirdly, I planned on leaving his house.Finally, he made it to me, dropping his bag at our feet. Knuckles underneath his jaw, he tipped my head back."My princess, you look stunning.""Hi, Ronnell. Thanks," I replied, blushing."You're the one who's a sight for sore eyes.""Aw, stop it. You're too kind."“Hey, what are you doing just standing there? Come hug me.” I walked right into his wa

    RONNELL POVNathan had been sobbing for nearly a minute before I could bring myself to pick him up. In all my years, I had never imagined my heart could shatter so completely or that such a tiny creature could have such a profound effect on me.But as quickly as he had broken my heart, he gave me a new life. Pulling back, my baby boy gazed at me, little teardrops clinging to his long lashes, his beautiful eyes. Then, without warning, he dove into my neck, squirming his tiny body closer and closer.Holy Christ, I had almost broken down in my own tears. Blair's thoughtful welcome home gesture melted my heart. She had decorated the living room with festive balloons, twinkling lights, and a banner that read, 'Welcome home, Ronnell.' As if that wasn't enough, she had also baked a delicious cake with the same message.Never had I received such a welcome from someone.No one…Only her.The three of us kept each other close for the remainder of the day. Even while Blair was nursing, Nathan

    RONNELL POVThe paper, still trembling in my grasp, held a revelation that shattered my whole world. I'd been duped, played for a fool. I never saw this coming.

Had I been stupid all along?What happened to smart, collected, and intelligent Ronnell?I gaped at the test results all over again.PATERNITY PROBABILITY: 99%Blair burst through the doorway, her phone gripped tightly, her face a mask of horror. “I was going to tell you.” She hesitated, her voice barely a whisper, as she stepped into the room. 'I was going to tell you…” She repeated while she strode towards me but I backed away.“You were going to tell me what?” I demanded, my voice rising. “When did you find out? Why haven't you said anything until now? Wait, if I hadn't found this, you wouldn't have said anything right?”"I'm very disappointed that you were still upset about me meeting Smith when he wasn't even

    RONNELL POVThe dim, amber glow of my office lamp cast long shadows across my face, a stark contrast to the swirling storm outside. I watched the rain streak down the windowpane, each droplet a reminder of the storm brewing within me.I was foolish, utterly foolish, to believe that Blair and I could be something. What had I been thinking, inviting another woman into my life, especially after everything that had happened? I'd learned my lesson, hadn't I? Or was I doomed to repeat the same relationship mistakes?With a bitter laugh, I lifted my glass of wine, the liquid sloshing against the sides. The taste was sharp and bitter, a fitting reflection of my mood. I took a long, contemplative sip, the warmth spreading through my body. It was a temporary respite from the cold, bleak reality that had settled over me.I slumped back into the soft leather couch, my gaze wandering aimlessly around the room. The once-familiar surroundings felt alien, cold, and empty. I ran a hand through my hair

    BLAIR POVFuck____I felt utterly heartbroken as I left Ronnell's home under such hostile circumstances. My mistake had been a colossal one, but the coldness in his eyes and the deliberate distance he maintained cut deeper than any wounds could. Tears welled up, threatening to spill over, but I fought to hold them back. My attempts at conversation were met with silence, and the security guards' efficient removal of my belongings made it painfully clear that he wanted nothing to do with me.I stepped inside my home, my mind still swirling from last night's confrontation. Despite my efforts to talk to him after he returned, he seemed completely uninterested in engaging. Frustrated and exhausted, I slammed the door shut, placed Nathan in his rocker, and headed to bed. I hoped for a few hours of uninterrupted rest before the demands of my day began.After a few hours of deep sleep, Nathan’s cries jolted me awake. A glance at the clock showed it was 11 AM. Hurrying downstairs, I spotted a

    BLAIR POVAs I stepped out of the elevator, I was greeted by my assistant's cheerful smile. Her gaze flickered towards my closed office door before returning to me. “There's a woman here to see you, sir” she announced. "She said you told her she could drop by this morning.'""Did she happen to mention her name?"She shook her head, her lips pressed together tightly. "I apologize, sir. I assumed that if you were aware of her presence, you'd prefer me to simply send her in. I can easily ask her to leave."As much as it annoys me that she let a random woman into my office without gathering more information about her, I'm trying my best not to be a hard ass today. I give her a strained smile and nod my head. “That's not necessary, I will handle it, thank you.” While I walk straight ahead, she turns to the right and takes a seat at her large desk, fidgeting on the computer chair slightly.Who on earth could be meeting me this early?" I pondered, racking my brain for any hint of a scheduled

For now, though, I'm going to focus on enjoying the flight and letting go of any remaining stress.The thought cheered me up, and I hurried over to Nathan’s bassinet to pick him up. He was crying again, his tooth obviously bothering him. I felt so sorry for the little guy."Hey there, my little buddy. Want to go for a ride?" I asked, but his tears only intensified. I smiled softly and pressed a kiss to the bridge of his nose. A chuckle escaped my lips as he began to suck on my open neck, seeking comfort for his aching tooth. There's nothing quite like Nathan to soothe my worries.As I fastened the baby carrier to my chest, I quickly gathered a few bags, knowing Samuel would be here in just three minutes. As I swung

Even after two years of being together, he still wasn't fed up of his wife, rather he even craved more of her as the day went by.“I know but I need to be free, not caged.” She joked, walking into the kitchen to grab herself more snacks. “The doctor said you will be ready to pop any day now and I want to make sure you don't wonder around and have a baby somewhere unpleasant.”“Pop? You make it sound like I'm carrying a balloon and I know what the doctor said, and I know where I'm going to go but you won't even let me outside the house.” Blair grumbled, grabbing herself some pickles , cheese, tuna, peanut butter and some fresh grilled meat .

"Shot in the butt, and still acting like he's on cloud nine. They're taking him in for surgery, but he told them to leave the scar big and bold. He said, and I quote, ' Chicks dig scars.' That guy, he's... unbelievable____."He broke off, and Ronnell didn't hesitate to pull his oldest friend into a tight hug. Sarah stationed herself to the side, rubbing them both up and down their backs. Daniel was going to live. He had been fine. A gunshot to the ass wouldn't stop him for long. But there had been long, harrowing minutes of silence where none of us had known where he had been hit. Okay, firstly we thought it was his chest that got shot because all we saw was blood. So much blood. Daniel had passed out from the pain and blood loss, and I had watched William and Mia crumble. They had fallen to his knees and cried over Daniel's body. Mathe

I knew something was off when she didn't show, but this was a whole new level of wrong. I didn't see this coming, and I didn't like it one bit. A no-show at the bar was bad enough, but this? This was a total shock. I didn't expect this twist, and I definitely wasn't prepared."Don't worry, Princess. I've got this." I pressed a reassuring kiss to her temple. "No one is going to hurt you."I gave her to Mia and Sarah, who enfolded her between them without me having to say a single word.

    BLAIR POVI had been more of a wreck than I had suspected. It had taken me several minutes to clean up the black tear tracks from my cheeks. Once I was good as new and there was no chance of more tears, I left the restroom, eager to find Ronnell. Hopefully, he was finished with the security. I didn't think I had properly thanked him for the name of the building. Then again, the way I wanted to thank him was better left behind doors. My dress swished around my legs as I strode down the hall. The clinking of glasses and din of conversation swirling with the music from the string quartet grew louder with each step, but as soon as I reached the mouth of the hallway, a man stepped in front of me, stopping me dead in my tracks.“Hey, Blair.”The last time I saw Tyler, he had been making a scene in front of Ronnell's company. We hadn't heard from him since, so I had assumed he had slinked back into the slimy hole he had come from. Apparently not,“Tyler, you shouldn't be here. Ronnell told

    BLAIR POVI walked back into the kitchen to find Daniel holding the monitor, and the others were gathered around, intently watching the live feed from the nursery.“Are you spying on my baby?” I teased. “Yes,” Daniel responded unabashedly. “This is cool as hell. You can just watch your kid whenever you want to?”“Of course, I can. I’m not as neurotic about watching him as I used to be, though.”Mia laughed. “Let me guess, Ronnell is?”I grinned. “Uhmmm, he finds it soothing having the monitor really close by.”William shook his head. “Yeah, I can see Ronnell as a total hover father.” When he realized what he had said, that he called Ronnell a father, he clamped his mouth shut. “Hey, it's fine,” I assured him. “He is absolutely a hover father, but I like it. It makes me feel not so crazy.” Daniel turned the sound up to listen in on Ronnell and Emmanuella talking. “Can I be aunt Emmanuella already?” “Yeah, that would be alright with me and Blair.” Emmanuella sighed. “I think you s

    RONNELL POVDinner was easy and totally stress free. Frankie was babysitting Nathan upstairs, and as much as I loved my son very much, I had to admit having adult time was a very nice change.After we ate, Blair went upstairs to feed Nathan before we left for the party while the rest of us cleaned up. There wasn't much to clean up since we had ordered in, but there were a few dishes and utensils.Emmanuella held up a plastic container. “Do you recycle or do you keep these for spare storage?”“You can recycle.” I opened a cabinet to show her the stack of take out containers we had kept. “we have tons of collections.”Her eyes flared. “Oh my God. Ronnell! Don't tell me you do not cook for my best girl? Don't you know that you are suppose to cook for your girlfriend. I and my Fiancee are terrible cooks, but he's marginally better, so he insists on doing most of the cooking. Blair deserve that amount of treatment too.”“She does deserve it, you are right.” I lifted a shoulder, unbothered.

    BLAIR POVThe day of reckoning finally arrived. Smith was due in town, and we had to confront him with the truth: Ronnell, not him, was Nathan's father. We'd exchanged a few text messages over the past week, but each day had brought a growing unease. Something about this whole situation felt... off.Perhaps, I was nervous because I had left him believing that he was the father of Nathan. Ronnell came into the room carrying Nathan. He had learned to blow raspberries recently and hadn't honestly stopped showing off his new skill. Anyone who came within arms reach of him instantly became drenched in his saliva, but nothing dettered Ronnell. When he saw his new trick, he proclaimed him a super genius and didn't even blink when he drenched his shoulder with his drool. “He hasn't replied yet?” Ronnell questioned patting Nathan softly on the back. “No.” I held up my phone. “I guess he is busy saving the world to reply but he's a notoriously bad texter, so…”I hadn't heard from Smith for a

I sat down at my desk, unable to keep the satisfied smile off my face. Being in love and being loved back made my mundane, everyday tasks feel a lot less tedious.I was so excited to be back to the office and my desk. As I pulled my belongings from the neatly stacked box, I noticed a small tear in the cardboard. To my surprise, the tampon inside had been jostled loose and was now upside down and facing the wrong way.My palms were sweaty as I picked up the envelope. The papers inside were scattered and rumpled, and a cold dread washed over me. Someone had been searching through my things. The only person who had been in the office and could go through my stuff was Ronnell. Had he found my papers?But…but… he hadn't even mentioned it to me, and we had barely even spent a second apart from each other yesterda

We understand each other now.” Lowering herself to the bench, her knees on the outside of my hips, she held my face in her hands gently. I should have been mortified by the tears I had let loose, but she pressed her lips to each one, never asking where they had come from or why they were even there. She kissed them away. Just like that.My Blair. My princess.Her fingers stroked through my wet hair, and her lips slid along my cheeks, soothing me, caring for me in the way only she could.“I love you, Ronnell.” She murmured. “I have cared for you for a long time, even when you drove me mad, but I think it started to turn into love when I walked into my bedroom after you let me sleep all night and there you
