Darling's POV

"Do you girls mind if i talk to Doll?" I turn to see a red eye Michael. No no no stomach stop. It doesn't work my stomach did a flip anyway. He looks so sad, in a way i have never seen.

"Sure dad." Lily says taking Rose with her. Girls please don't leave. I was screwing your dad and now it's awkward. Yeah no i can't say that so i let them go. I look at my hands so i don't have to look at him. "W-what happened Doll?" His voiced cracked.

Why is my heart bleeding for him.

I don't want to admit it but when Malcolm was hitting me Michael was all i could think about. He is the only one that has ever made me feel safe. He wasn't here. He was with Carly, he always is. That's where he will always be.

"Malcom wanted to get back together and when i refused he beat me." I jump in shook when he punches the wall. I thought if i said it stray away he would leave faster. "That kid did this to you?!" I just nod still looking down.

I don't want him here, near me or my baby. I know the baby is half him but Carly treated me like shit. I don't even want to know what she would do to my baby. I have to protect it above all. If it was just him i would tell him without a doubt. We could at least coparent.

But when it comes to that woman he is obviously blind. I know he deserves to know but i also want to keep my baby safe. She would be an evil stepmother from hell. I can't let her sink her claws into my kid.

"Doll look at me." He whispers. I shake my head. He gently grabs my jaw making me look at him. I can't hold back the tears. I'm still laying in bed. He's standing next to it so i hug his waist and he hugs my head. I shouldn't hug him but i was so scared and i needed him.

"Doll why? Why are you even in here? I told you not to leave me again but you did without a trace. AGAIN." I let go of him and push him back. What? is he trying to blame me? For this? Because i didn't want to see him married to that woman, why else?

"Because you ignored me again. Because you chose her AGAIN. Did you really expected me to just stay and see you get married while you pretend i didn't exist? What where you planing on making me a bridesmaid?" I joke in anger.

He shakes his head and pulls at his hair. "I didn't chose Carly! Did you really think i would after everything? And yes i didn't talk to you b...but thats because i didn't... i didn't know how to tell you." He's voice becomes a whisper.

"If you didn't chose her then why did Lily say that you guys had sex the day after. Why did you ignore me?" I look at him waiting for him to answer. I wish i didn't care for the answer but i do.

"I-i don't, i... dammit Darling!!" He sighs and sits on the side of the bed not looking at me. "I was sad that my mom took you so i.. i started drinking. Before you say anything it's not what you think so keep listening." He still isn't looking at me.

"Darling the last thing i remember is passing out in my bed alone, thinking of you. I woke up naked with Carly next to me. I didn't know how to tell you because when a woman passes out and wakes up with a man next to her... she was raped. But when it happens to guy nobody says anything or takes it seriously. Because a man can't be rape." He shrugs looking for the right words.

Oh that crazy bitch is dead when i see her.

"I was worried you would think I cheated on you. Even though we weren't boyfriend and girlfriend. We..we were sort of together. I thought you would think that i was less attractive or less of a man to you. When i woke up i freaked out and told her to get out and to never come back. I'm just sorry i didn't do that sooner. I didn't know ho-" I jump on him for a hug ignoring the pain.

"You really are an idiot." I move until im straddling him. My back is killing me but i need him to know that he is wrong. "What?" He looks everywhere but me.

"Michael, no matter what. You can never be less of a man or less attractive to me. What she did is wrong. Man or woman it is still rape." I use both of my hands on his cheeks to turn his head until he looks at me.

I look into his eyes blue eyes. "If you would've told me i could've been there for you. Instead you have been in the house all alone. Michael listen to me when i tell you. You could never be less of a man not because of that." He kisses me with need and i kiss him back with the same force.

But i think we all know that the universe hates me.

"Gross!What The Hell!" Someone yells. We pull apart to look at that person. Rose! Of all people to walk in. I knew it was stupid for me to kiss him back in here but i couldn't denied him a kiss. I jump away from him only to yell at the small pain. "Ahhh."

Michael helps me lay down properly being gentle with me. "You okay baby?" I nod reassuring him. Rose clears her throat. "Excuse me! Yeah hi. Daughter and best friend here. What the hell is going on?!"

Michael closes his eyes and sighs still looking into my eyes. He turns to his daughter. "I was kissing Darling." I nervously explains. "No shit!" She gestures at us.

He nods. "Hmmm well. We are.. w-we are, no wait we aren't. Are we? I just. Well shit Rose i don't know. I just want to be near her ALL the time thats all i know." Rose is more amused then anything and im blushing like crazy.

"I know Dad, i have seen you making googly eyes at her." My head snaps to her. She smirks wiggling her eyebrows. Swallow me earth please! "Yess well we." He continues clearing his throat. Why is he still going? "Yeah." He is so cute. All red and nodding his head like crazy.

Rose turns to me seeing that her dad is useless right now. "How long?" She's serious now. "Once the night before my graduation. After Malcolm and i broke up until I left and i guess....now?" I question.

She nods. "I won't ask why didn't you tell me it's obvious why. So are you guys dating or what." She asks as if we are just talking about boys and girls at a sleepover. Jesus mama don't put me on the spot like that.

Now it's my turn to clear my throat. Michael is now looking at me waiting for my answer. "We don't know. We don't have the best record with each other. Communication mostly because the sex is great." I smirk so she stops asking questions.

"Like i said before Gross!" Rose yells and Lily walks in. "What's gross?" She looks at all of us for answers as Eli walks in. Our smiles drop and Michael slowly moves away from me. "My first night here a nurse gave me a sponge bath." I cover.

"That is gross." Lily scrunches up her nose. "Wait a minute. Male nurse or female nurse?" Michael turns to me in obvious jealousy. I offer him a coy smile. "Who knows. That will forever remain a mystery." Everybody laughs but Lily does for a different reason.

"You have to stop being so overprotective Dad, she's grown." she laughs harder. I think he knows that Lil. Now how the hell do we tell her? She loves Carly. How do i tell Michael about the baby? He told Carly he didn't want one right now.

What if he leaves?
