DELANO POV

(Three months later)...

It's been a quiet three months. Bria finally stopped harassing me. About time. Gia and I are going strong. I've never felt such a connection with someone.

Now don't think I'm not watching my back every now and then.

Gia was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. The smell of whatever she was making filled the whole apartment.

Walking up behind her and wrapping my arms around her waist. That's when you felt the little pouch making its way to be noticed.

"I think we need to tell Ryan about the baby" Gia said.

"You are right we need to tell him. After breakfast" I said.

She placed all the food on the table and called Ryan to come eat. Afterwards we sat Ryan on the couch "am I in trouble? Cause I didn't do it".

Gia smiled "no you're not in trouble. We just want to talk to you". Ryan seemed a little confused but he sat there waiting. Gia cleared her throat "Ryan Delano and I wanted to tell you something".

"Okay?" He said.

Gia looked at me to continue "well Ryan your mom and I wanted to tell you you'll be a big brother soon".

His eyes lit up "wow really?! This isn't a trick right?".

We both laughed "no this isn't a trick. But yeah you'll be a big brother soon".

"Wait a minute? Delano are you and my mom a thing?" Ryan asked.

Glancing at Gia "yeah we are".

Ryan jumped up in excitement "Delano I knew you would end up being my dad! I just knew it! Wow I was right".

Gia shook her head "alright let's relax".

He ran into his room in full excitement. Watching both Gia and Ryan together... this felt right. A small smile crept on my face.

BRIA POV

Delano dumped me.

Me? He dumped me!

Bria, the most beautiful being on this planet. I'm a fighter though. I won't allow a piece of trash get the man I'm supposed to be with.

Aiden walked in...

"About time?" I said.

"Traffic" he smiled.

Aiden is a very tall, solid man. His dirty blonde hair fell to his shoulders. His facial hair was a bit lighter than his hair color. I'm not going to lie but Aiden is a handsome man. Gia definitely messed this up.

"Bria I already told you... us will not happen again. I'm flattered you like looking at me" he smiled.

"Aiden don't go there. What are we going to do about Gia? I want my money bag back. She needs to go away. Her and that boy" I said.  

Aiden leaned in close "watch what you say about my kid". All of a sudden he wants to be daddy.

Rolling my eyes "can we focus on the task at hand?! I want my security bag back. Do what you have to do to Gia. Her life is worthless to me. She's been nothing but trouble since day one".

Aiden rubbed his hands together "let me handle it".

"That's the problem... I tried to have you handle it before and as you see... nothing changed it actually got a lot worse!" I said.

He grabbed my hand "trust me".

"Aiden let me give you a warning! If you fuck this up I will make sure you go back to jail for the rest of your life! Also get your disgusting g hand off of mine" I warned. He better come through or else.

RYAN POV

It's always been my mom and I.

From the moment I met Delano I had this weird inkling that he would end up being my dad. Just seeing how he treats my mom... it made sense.

Now I'm going to be a big brother! I couldn't be more excited.

Seeing my mom smile and happy... makes me happy.

She hasn't been this happy in a very long time. I won't have to hear her cry at night.
