Juvie Girl Has A Daughter?

chapter 17

Caden's POV

Positive.

It's 99.999% positive that Sabrina is mine.

Fuck.

This is what I was afraid of. More so than actually being a dad.

When Tania told me she was pregnant with my kid, I believed her. I believed her because Tania would never lie to me. But the last time I had seen her was at graduation, and she didn't look pregnant at all. I was shocked, angry and scared. I just shut down and told her that I didn't believer her and that baby wasn't mine. I went low and told her that I know about how she was sleeping around all of the time and that she probably didn't even know who the father was.

I was going to reach out to her when I had seen she had posted that she was pregnant. Jaden knew. He knew that I knew. He told me that Tania made him promise not to say anything but he did. He told me that I was making a mistake and that I would regret it.

"Mr. Scott, your 1 o'clock is here. " My assistant, Kelly, comes into my office.

"Reschedule the meeting. " I say still looking at the paper.

"But sir, this is an important meeting. "

"Reschedule the meeting and all of my meetings today. I have an emergency. I need to go. "I stand from my desk, grab my phone and keys, then leave my office. I go down to the under level car garage and get into my car.

The first place I go is to my sister's house. I park on the street and get out of my car. I go up to he door and knock. She opens the door holding my 3 year old nephew. I hold up the paper and she grabs it.

"You're an asshole. You know that? " She says after reading the paper.

"I know. Am I allowed in? "

"I should leave your ass out here. " She says moving to the side. She puts down Marcus, my nephew, and he runs off into the house.

"Why didn't you tell her that you already knew? " She asks. I sit down on the sofa and she sits on the other side of the sofa facing me.

"Oh you haven't met Tania. She's fucking scary. She would beat my ass. She would kill me for the things I told her. "I rub my face.

" I just don't get why you would do something like this. You see how much I have been struggling with Marcus ever since his dad walked out. "Cassie says.

"It's not like I didn't check on her from time to time. " I mumbled.

"What do you mean? "

"I would always check her socials. Watch her stories and look at her posts. "

"Okay now you sound like a creep. " She makes a disgusted face.

"Me checking on my child by looking through her mother's social media posts is not me being a creep. "

"Why didn't you ever just call her and tell her that you wanted to be there. I know you Caden. I know you regret not saying anything. "

"I couldn't just call her Cassandra. "

"And why not? Tell me again. "

"Because I hurt her. And I know at that time that I wouldn't be good for her or our baby. "

"That's not an excuse Caden. Yes you hurt Tania, but all you're doing now is hurting that little girl. " She stares at me with a serious look on her face.

Cassie knows what she's saying because she's going through it. Her ex left her the second she said she was pregnant.

"You don't know what I did to her. "

"What did you do? Cheat. What else is new. She should've known that it would happen. You never did girlfriends. " Cassie says.

"Neither did she. She had so many opportunities to cheat but she didn't. She was loyal and I wasn't. And I don't just cheat once... I cheated everyday. And not just with another girl. I slept with her best friend. "Cassie just shakes her head.

"Listen to me. I'm not trying to blame her for you cheating, because that's your own fault. You chose to do that. But that's in the past. What's done is done. Get over it. Be there for your kid. That's the least you can do. "

               ***********
"I found him. " I say over the phone.

"How deep was he buried? " She asks.

"I'm sorry Tania. "

"You shouldn't be saying that to me. I'm not the one you should be appoligizing to. " I sigh because I know she's right.

"We need to have a serious talk. I have a lot I need to say to you. " Like how I always knew she was mine and how I hate myself for how I was these past 9 years.

"Like what? " She asks softly.

"Like how I regret missing 9 years of my daughters life. "

"I know you do." She says.

"Can we meet? "

"I guess. "She says. I hesitate but I finally asked her.

"When am I going to meet her? "

"I don't know. When do you want to meet ber? "

"I don't know Tania. Do you not hear how scared I am. "

What if she doesn't like me? What if she hates me? What if she is scared of me? I let out a deep breath. I hear Tania start to laugh. I start to panick. Oh my god.

"You're thinking 'what if's' arent you? Don't worry. You'll be fine. Maybe. "

"Will I meet her before or at the wedding?" I ask. I need time to prepare myself. What the hell. I am a grown man, scared of a child.

"No. I don't think so. Maybe next week. I have some things to talk to her about. " She groans and sighs.

I know I just made her stressed out. When she gets stresses she cries and I hate when she cries. Seeing her cry here ,the day she came and stormed out, it pissed me off that I made her cry.

"Does she know about me? "

"No.she does ask about you though. I always tell her that no matter what, you love her. "

I don't know what to feel. All I know is that I was an asshole. I really need to have an honest conversation with Tania about everything. I've made too many mistakes and I'm not gonna make any more.

"What all do you know about Sabrina.? " She speaks up.

"I know that she looks like me but she has your attitude. I know she doesn't turn nine until November 4th. I also know you gave her my last name but never call her but it in less you are edtreamly upset. " I say.

"Did you get all of this information by stalking me on the internet all these years or did you get it from Jaden. I know he talks to you about her even though I made him promise not to. "

"Both." I say.

I'm not lieing. Ever since I saw when Tania posted Sabrina after having her, I remembered that day every year. November 4th, 2011 is when my daughter, Sabrina Davis Scott, was born.
