All Chapters of One Night, Two Dads : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Elena's POVAs the evening wore on, I decided to plan a surprise for Mia. I turned to her with a mischievous grin. "Hey, Mia? Want to have a girls' night?"Mia's face lit up. "Yeah, that sounds cool!" she exclaimed.I smiled, happy that she was excited. "Awesome! I'll go get the snacks and drinks. You get the movies ready."Mia nodded and got up to prepare the movie. As I walked back into the room with the snacks, I couldn't help but notice how much better Mia looked. She didn't seem sick anymore, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.As we settled in for the movie, Mia started telling jokes and making me laugh. I was amazed at how one visit from Damien could lift her spirits so much.As the night wore on, we decided to take a break and chat. Mia snuggled up on the couch, and I sat down beside her."Hey, Mia? Can I ask you something?" I said, looking at her with concern.Mia nodded. "What is it, Elena?""I was just wondering...do you ever think about Daniel and Ethan?" I asked, tryin

Elena's POVI lay back on the hospital bed, trying to get comfortable despite the awkwardness of the situation. The nurse, a friendly woman with a warm smile, bustled around me, preparing for my antenatal appointment."Okay, let's get started," she said, her voice cheerful and reassuring. "We'll begin with your blood pressure and then move on to the ultrasound."I nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. This was my first antenatal appointment, and I wasn't sure what to expect.The nurse expertly took my blood pressure, her hands moving quickly and efficiently. "All good," she said, smiling at me. "Now, let's take a look at your baby."She led me to the ultrasound room, where a large machine hummed quietly in the corner. The nurse helped me get settled on the table, and then the technician began the ultrasound.I watched in awe as the image of my baby appeared on the screen. It was still early days, but I could see the tiny form, its heart beating steadily.Just as I was g

Ethan's POV I slammed my fist onto the armrest, the worn leather creaking in protest. How could she do this to me? Elena, the one person who was supposed to understand me, was now cozied up with that insufferable idiot, Daniel. The image of them together was seared into my brain like a branding iron, refusing to be extinguished.My eyes narrowed, recalling the way Daniel's hand had brushed against Elena's arm, the way she'd smiled at him with that radiant glow that used to be reserved for me. A bitter taste flooded my mouth as I thought about how close they'd been, their bodies almost touching. It was like a punch to the gut, leaving me breathless and reeling.I shot up from the couch, pacing across the room in an attempt to shake off the agitation. But it only seemed to intensify, my anger simmering just below the surface like a pot about to boil over. Why did it bother me so much? I'd always thought of Elena as my friend, my confidante. But now, I wasn't so sure. The way my blood b

Ethan's POVMaria's voice was like a gentle breeze, soft and soothing, but it was beginning to grate on my nerves. "I just want to help you, sir," she said, her eyes filled with a genuine concern that only made me feel more annoyed. "You're not well, and I don't want to leave you alone."I let out a deep sigh, feeling my irritation grow. Why couldn't she just leave me alone? I didn't need her help, and I certainly didn't need her hovering over me like a mother hen. "Maria, I appreciate your concern," I said, trying to sound calm, "but I'm fine. Just...just leave me alone."But Maria didn't seem to take the hint. She continued to sit beside me, her eyes fixed on mine with an unnerving intensity. I tried to ignore her, closing my eyes and focusing on my breathing. Maybe if I just pretended she wasn't there, she'd eventually get bored and leave.It wasn't easy, but I finally managed to drift off to sleep, Maria's presence fading into the background as I slipped into a deep, dreamless slu

Ethan's POV"I don't see why I need to handle this situation calmly," I said, shaking my head. "The fact is, Maria crossed a line, and she's getting fired. End of story."Keith raised an eyebrow. "You're not even going to consider giving her a second chance?" he asked.I snorted. "A second chance? Are you kidding me? I don't need this kind of drama in my life. I've got enough stress and distractions already."Keith leaned back in his chair. "I suppose you're referring to Elena and Victoria?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.I nodded. "Exactly. I've got Elena, who's...well, she's Elena. And then there's Victoria, who's still lingering in the background, waiting for her chance to pounce. I don't need some unstable employee like Maria causing more problems in my life."Keith chuckled. "You're certainly not lacking for drama, are you?" he asked.I shook my head. "No, I'm not. And that's exactly why I don't need Maria around. I need to simplify my life, not complicate it further
