"Ahead"

Everyone must be thinking things are going well, right?

It has been a week since Ivy shifted to NYU and started her program, Tri was with Paul and now she was five months.

Ivy missed her children, Niall was very protective when he was with Trinity, he was kinda scary when it comes to his mommy.

She still remembered the day, when she came back home from the hospital and after few days she told everyone that she and Paul had decided that Ivy would soon leave for NYU soon when her classes will get started.

The thought of leaving baby trinity was very onerous for her but with great support of Paul and his family made her rethink this step and hope so things will go according to her from now on.

but the time when she told Owen about her plan was not what she was expecting.

Owen came to meet her and to drop Niall at the weekends but when he saw her holding baby Tri in her arms, he couldn't hold his fondness and went straight to her.

Paul was also present at the time and he was kinda off with him and Ivy's new bonding.

he knew he can never take his place but still wanted to try for his daughter's sake. so he decided to take the initiative that he will take care of Tri and she can go to NYU for her studies.

but when he saw Owen, he was feeling something in his heart, a pile of jealousy was building inside him and he was not aware of that.

Owen took baby Tri in his arms and kissed her forehead, Paul interrupted his gesture to move any further and simply took Tri in his arms, he didn't say anything and left both of them alone.

"Jealous much..." softly gritting and showing his teeth, Owen said in a low pitch.

"You should have seen him when I told him that you named our daughter Trinity," said Ivy with a blank face.

Owen bursted out in his laughter and looked at Ivy, who was pretty much irritated by his action.

"So, what did he exactly say?" he asked holding his laughter.

"Don't get me started, he was arguing like a baby, that how dare you, and how I let you name her, and specifically listening to the fact that she will be having three parents, don't ask me, he was like a volcano ready to blast," Ivy said coming near to Owen.

he was looking at her with a smile on his face, and the realization was that she was speaking to him with free mind without any fear, the first time in many years.

the day she spoke to him freely was the day when she was speaking of him being a sadist and that day he was really scared of his Ivy. oh, don't make him remember that day.

"and he said, he will name her something else and he will not call her Trinity, seriously and we didn't speak for many days but then he accepted and said he will still not call her Trinity, for him she will be Sia, his baby Sia," Ivy said looking at Owen who was busy with his old evocations.

she patted his leg and broke his lane, he looked at her and asked "what Sia?"

"Her name, Paul named her Sia," she said looking worried towards Owen

he sat next to her and kissed her forehead "Sia is a good name too." he said.

Ivy also wanted to tell Owen about her NYU plan but she was hesitating if he will react inappropriately, but somehow she collected her strength and spoke "I have something to tell you."

"yeah?" he said tugging her hair behind her ear.

"I... applied for NYU, and... I got selected." she said biting her lower lip.

"Wow, that's nice," Owen said slowly looking at her.

"And I am leaving soon, like in few months," she said without breaking her sentence this time.

Owen was pretty confused and he wanted to ask her that what about Trinity and Niall and him?

"Paul said he'll take care of Trinity and I can go, it's my decision," she explained.

"and what about me and Niall?" he asked standing from his position.

"Owen I really wanted to do a master's degree and it is something I want for myself in so many years, please don't make me look selfish for something good I want," she said with her heavy heart.

she knew Owen was a selfish man when it comes to her but the point now was will he let her do things she wanted for herself.

He so wanted to act mean to her, but this time he has to let her do what she desired, Niall was playing with Paul and baby Trinity outside, and when his family was happy what more he wanted, so he said most unexpected thing to Ivy,

"Fine, I'll not stop you and I am really happy for you, no I'll be honest, I am trying to be happy for you, but I have one condition," he said looking outside the window.

"what... condition?" she asked

"You have to divorce Paul legally, not that this marriage matters but still, and let me allow to pursue you properly this time," he said turning towards her.

she set back to her place and looked at Owen with little big eyes. "that's your condition... and if I'll not agree with you, you won't let me go right?" she asked with a challenge in her voice.

Owen was well aware that his Ivy was now bold and fearless so he didn't want to fire the situation more.

"I am not challenging you, Ivy, I am simply stating my condition that it will make us..." he stopped in the middle, he himself was not sure what he was stating to her and that being selfish was not him anymore.

Ivy was trying to decipher his emotions and his words but then he said "you know what, go for it, no conditions no demands, I'll pursue you according to my plan. yeah! yeah!, forget whatever I said." by saying that he pecked her lips and went for Jacksonville to handle his own sh!t.

Niall overheard the conversation and when Owen was leaving he asked him "Will you come back to take me home, dad?"

"Of course," Owen said without giving any glimpse to his own flesh and blood.
