After a few hours of lying down in the bed after being rejected by Ryker, Kathleen couldn’t fall asleep. She gave up on the idea of trying of going to bed when Juan woke up and started crying. At least she had someone with her, someone who she could call hers. “Oh, hey!” she reached him and picked him up in her arms very gently, “Are you deciding to pull an all-nighter?” Kathleen smiled very weakly at her baby while rocking him up. The baby was probably bored in the room, Kathleen took Juan and his teddy to the living room and settled on the couch. She had been busy watching Juan play when Ryker came out of his room, wearing a tux and looking all fresh. She quickly understood he was headed out to celebrate his birthday but didn’t know where he was going.

Ryker had spent the next two days with Eloise with Kathleen going crazy alone in the apartment. She hadn’t slept for a single second, couldn’t eat anything or take her mind off her baby. She couldn’t believe Ryker would act so insensitively. It was one thing that he didn’t care about Kathleen but he went far by taking away her son from her.She looked like a mess, the bags under her swollen eyes were not the only detail about her that would scare someone who looks at her, but her blood pressure kept dropping too.Last she heard from Ryker was when Eloise spoke on his behalf and basically told Kathleen to not disturb the baby that was none other than Kathleen’s baby.“Arghh!” Kathleen screamed, slamming the vase from the desk on the floor, “He is my baby!” she shouted in the air, telling the people around her to shut up.“Just---shut up,” she softly sobbed, trying to understand what to do, h

She fell asleep eventually after two days of restlessness. When she woke up, she realized something was different.“Umm?” she itched her scalp, that’s when she noticed that the noise that woke her up was her son.“Juan!” she forced her eyes wide open and rushed towards the crib, “Oh my son!” she hugged him but instantly put him down, “I don’t want to scare you, so I won’t hug you until you are comfortable.” She had tears streaming down her eyes while she watched her son with nothing but love in her eyes. One could see the fear she was dealing with, the fear of her son being taken away from her.She was surprised that Ryker had left him in her room because the last time when he spoke to her, he didn’t feel her pain. She spent the next few hours with Juan, focusing on her son and waiting for Ryker’s arrival back home so that she could tell him about taking care of Juan so that she could

"I can take care of my son, I don't need a lecture for that, especially from someone who had to beg to live with him." Ryker bitterly responded once Kathleen not only denied helping them but taunted him for not being able to calm a baby down."See, I knew you are capable of taking care of him. Well, I'm tired too, goodnight." With much heavy heart, Kathleen walked back to her room and locked the door."I'm so sorry, mommy would clean the world for you but it's time that I admit he is also your father, he should be more responsible rather than stealing you from me and quickly putting you back in my lap only when he finds it difficult to take care of you," Kathleen whispered in tears as she watched her son's empty crib.She had to stop being too protective over Juan and let the father learn and take over his responsibility as well.On the other hand, Roy had found shelter through his friend. He was staying with his friend and his girlfriend for a few months

The door behind her opened and closed, her boyfriend had arrived home, “What do you mean by nobody would know?” she suddenly shouted and pretended to be scared out of her life.“What?” Roy looked her way and noticed his friend behind him. Oliver had heard some shouting’s when he was already entering the house and to see his friend angrily glaring at his scared girlfriend angered him.“What the f***!

Ryker wanted Kathleen to stay peacefully without having to look at Alec.Ryker had been informed about everything that went down with Paul and he was surprised that Paul turned out to be like this.
