All Chapters of My biggest mistake: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

David's POV  Seeing Char run away from me again wasn't something that I could handle. Without thinking I bolted out the front door after her. I couldn't lose her again. Not now, not ever.  As soon as my hands wrapped around her I broke, begging her to stop running from me. When her body melts into mine my breath comes to a standstill inside my lungs.  Slowly I see her mother come out to collect the little dark haired boy and bring him back inside, reminding me we're not alone. I can see Alex standing off to the side just watching us, with his mouth hanging open.  When I finally put Charlie down and she turns around the look in her eyes tells me that I did the right thing coming after her. My mouth opens and closes trying to find the right words to say to her. Tears fill her eyes and I reach out to steady her arm when she starts to sway.  "David." She barley whispers. "Charlie, w

My eyes cast down unable to hold his intent gaze much longer, regret kicks me hard. For not telling him about Killian, for running then, and for trying to run now. My breath catches as the screen door slams shut behind me, I turn to see Killian walk out. My eyes turn to David as his gaze drops to our little boy. Killian is the image of his father. The same dark hair with a curl. Same eyes, same skin. While I rub the top of Killian's head I start to speak, "Killian, baby. i'd like you to meet my friend David."  "Hello." Killian smiles happily while waving his tiny hands at David, David fights tears as he waves back to his little boy and the lump in my throat nearly chokes me. The door slams again and my parents appear along with Alex.  "We're gonna take little man for ice cream." States my father as he walks over to grab Killian's hand. "Just to give you two some time to talk while you're here." Davids eyes are fixed firm

When I finally found the ability to move I went running after David out the front door. He was standing next to the car with a confounded look on his face. I don't think I've ever seen him look anything but confident and self assured before.  Seeing that my heart broke even more, this was my fault. I'd ruined everything we had. But I'll be damned if I let anyone try and take my child from me.  When David didn't make a move from his position I found the courage to glance up at him. Still the most gorgeous human being on the planet, the mere sight of him hurt my heart. It hurt because he could never be mine, and I wondered; was it better to have had him only for that little amount of time while only to have lost him? Or would i have been better off not having him at all?  My beautiful boy, the wonderful surprise blessing filled the void in my life these last two years and would've continued to do so. I knew I shouldn't of

David's POV  I turn the engine off and look over at Charlotte. God, this is my worst nightmare.  How do you tell a kid you're his father when you can't wrap your head around the idea of it yourself? When you don't even believe that it's possible? I know it's true, he looks identical to me, and yet somehow, I feel like I'm in a bad dream. That any second Charlie is going to laugh and say that this is all a bad joke. Then we can pick up where we left off six years ago. I don't want to resent her... but I can't help it. How could she hide this from me?  I wish my phone would go off with an urgent message saying that I'm needed on a job somewhere. That there's something wrong in a building site and they need me right away. I want to be anywhere else but here. I grip the steering wheel in my hands as I try to picture how this is going to go. How would I have felt if some stranger turned up and announce

David's POV  Charlies eyes search mine looking for some answer that I can't give her right now. I don't know what to think, or how to feel? Blinding betrayal is the only thing that comes to mind. "I don't know if I can ever forgive you for this Charlie, so whatever conversation you want to have right now, save it. I just want to see my son and spend some time with him, so can we go in and get him? Now?" I ask. Her eyes hold mine for an extended moment, ready to protest. I can see it written all of her face, I know she wants to hash this out but I can't.  It's not that easy for me and I can't go there right now. "Please Char?" I urge. "Sure." She turns and stalks into the ice cream shop, as soon as we're through the door Killian spots us. "Mommmmy!" Killian calls as he barrels towards us and jumps into Charlie's arms nearly knocking them both over. Watching the two of them together makes my ches
