Chapter 14
CHRISTOPHER
I completely block on her last words, the death of her mother, the baby is the only person she has left in this life, I now understand her words when she told me that she was used to answering it's fine, I I really don't know what to think, so she's alone in the world, I feel really bad for treating her the way I did, I regret making her cry, and seeing her lay there, at sleep, she seems so innocent and soothing, it's Leila's way that brings me out of my thoughts
Leila: hello earth, I'm talking to you
Me: uh… sorry, there was never any question of taking her child away from her
Leila: didn't you threaten him?
Me: yes and it's normal no, what would you have done in my place, you would have applauded and congratulated him
Leila: the main thing is that you pay attention to how you behave with her, otherwise I will have no problem castrating you
Her last sentence frankly makes me laugh, she wants to castrate me, it's her girlfriend who will suffer the most, I resume my serious air to answer her
Me: don't worry, she's in good hands
Leila: it's not like you have any other choice, you can sit on the chair
Me: I think I will take over
Leila: you don't think I'm going to leave my girlfriend the hand of a stranger who could be a potential serial killer
Me: she risks nothing for the moment, I will wait for her to give birth to my child before doing anything….
She looks at me for a long moment before picking up her bag and starting
Leila: she will need some personal belongings, I'll go get them, don't forget that I'll find you, so don't try anything
Me: more...
When she leaves I walk towards Faith, I give her a kiss on the forehead before taking my place next to her, I take her hand which I caress delicately in a circular fashion, when I put my hand on her stomach she wakes up with a start, when she sees me she tries to get up, my attempts to dissuade her are useless so I help her to sit down carefully and I start to worry about her
Faith: I beg you I can explain everything to you, I can kneel down if you want but please don't take my child away from me
She starts crying again, what's the story of taking the baby out, she's gone to look for her or, I don't remember talking about her me...
Faith
Christopher calmly: calm down, I want to tell you that it hurts that you wanted to hide it from me, because it's one of my greatest desires in the world, but this decision I pushed you into. somehow to take it because I haven't been the best of men with you
I am not going to make you totally guilty of this situation, we created this situation and we will have to resolve it for the good of our child, I want to tell you that I intend to take my responsibilities as a father, I want live alongside my child, see him take his first steps, see him say his first words, see him grow up, be by his side in his successes, and help him in his sorrows, I want to be able to offer him the best he can. that is
Me: but by doing how….
I haven't finished the sentence yet when he cuts me off
Christopher: Please let me finish
I don't intend to take our child away from you, I want us to go through all of this together, I want you to come and settle with me, I want you to go and settle in England with me at the end of this project and that we can get married if you want
I find it hard to realize everything he is saying, I expected all the scenarios but not this, I find my Aaron, the one who made me feel like a woman last night in Paris, the one who gave me hope last night and made me dream, but I can't help but be wary of him, I don't know what made him change his mind so quickly, is that what? ' he is preparing another of his shots
Me: you don't need to marry me because we're going to have a child together you know
Christopher: I don't do it just for my child, since that night I haven't stopped thinking about you, I tried to find you but in vain, you haunt my days and my nights, I don't want to let you go anymore , for once let someone help you take the weight you've been carrying for too long now you can lean on me now i'm here
Tears begin to flow down my face, no one has ever spoken to me this way, no one has ever seen me with these eyes, I am so relieved and happy to have found the man I fell in love with, and yes I love this man, I love him, I can't even get a word out of my mouth, I just wave to him to come closer and I take him in my arms, I whisper to him ear that I love him he does not answer me but hugs me even tighter against him, when he serves the embrace, he looks me in the eyes for a moment before he kisses me with so much passion to which I answer without waiting when we find the breath a few minutes later it resumes
Christopher: I want you to work more
Me: if I will continue, I do not intend to be maintained
Christopher: It's not debatable, I don't want you to put my child's life in danger, I'll make sure you take good care of yourself and rest well
Me: I knew it was too good to be true, Hitler is coming back
What makes us giggle together, frankly it's been a while since I've been so happy
Christopher: wasn't it you who said I love you to Hitler earlier
Me: I said that, that's probably what the doctors gave me here
Christopher: girl you deserve a spanking
Me: your daughter, since when do dads kiss their daughters like you just did, for the spanking I'm in huh
Leila
When I arrive in Faith's hospital room I see them sitting together chatting and laughing, it really makes me happy for her, it means that they have settled things
Me: did I miss an episode or what?
Faith: come sit here, where did you go?
Me: your darling didn't tell you he sent me home to be alone here with you
Faith: no he didn't tell me
Christopher: I told him that you threatened to castrate me.
Faith laughing: well, you had better behave well then
Christopher: don't come crying after huh
Faith: well if you behave well I won't have to cry afterwards
Leila: halo, I'm here, you come home tonight or you're going to sleep here
Christopher: in any case it will not fit
I look at Faith for more information since I don't understand anything
Faith: I'll explain later
Christopher: I see that I'm too much, I'm going to see the doctor….
