Chapter 12- Truths

Chapter 12

The next few days went by in a blur, I did my best to avoid Jimin but he was very persistent. I'm not sure why I'm even trying to avoid him in the first place, everything about that night was perfect. He was so gentle and cautious and made sure I felt in control of the whole situation, not to mention he made me feel alive for the first time in a long time.

His touch made my skin heat up and his gaze made my insides flutter, to be honest it scared me. It scared me to admit that I was still after all these years madly in love with him. Though I had no reason to be, he was obviously feeling some type of way for me he's said so himself and has shown me he means those feelings in more ways than one...yet I felt the need to hold back and guard myself not to mention Ada.

"You ready for today?"

I freeze as tiny goosebumps take over my skin, I could feel Jimin's warmth surrounding me a second later. "No...I don't even know how I'm going to start this conversation and we have to leave in two hours" his hands slowly wrap around me as he tucks his face into my neck, suddenly it's hard to breath but it's also comforting.

"Do you want me to be with you when you tell her? Or do you want to be alone?"

I ponder on the question as I lay my head back against him, maybe things would be easier if it were just us to..."If you don't mind, maybe it would be better if it were just me and her, I just don't know how she's going to react and I don't want you to get the fallback. Ada can be mean when she's hurt"

"Hmm sounds familiar"

I glare over at him as he chuckles "I'm teasing Jagi, but that sounds good. I'll go out and pick up a few things we need for the house and then swoop you guys up when it's time to go okay?" I nod as I turn around and face him "Thank you Jimin" I could feel the tears brimming in my eyes as I stare up at him "Anything for you jagi, I'll be back text me if you guys want anything special" I smile as he kisses my forehead and heads for the front door.

"Morning Jimin, bye Jimin"

Ada chirps as she jumps off the last few steps, Jimin chuckles as he watches her "Morning Mini, want anything special from the store?" she spins around to face him and smiles "Hmm maybe some sweets and new shoes" Jimin chuckles matching her eye smile as I give her a look, though it's hard to keep a straight face "I'm just teasing Mom, but not so much on the sweets" Jimin laughs again as he grabs his keys "Sweets, got it. See you girls in a bit be good"

"So how come I don't have to go to school today? Not like I'm complaining but you hardly ever let me miss"

I sigh as she hops up on the stool at the kitchen island across from me, "We have some important things to discuss before we go down to the courthouse" she simply nods as I push her plate of breakfast towards her. "Lay it on me, I can handle it" I softly smile as I watch her take the first few bites of food. Though she was putting on a strong front and acting like she wasn't worried, I can still see it in her eyes.

"Well there is no easy way of saying this honey but we've always been pretty honest with each other right?"

I watch as she nods her head yes and eyes me, her chubby cheeks filled as she chews on her food. "Well as you know today we have to go down and take that paternity test, and I think you should know that those results are more than likely going to come back that...well that your dad isn't your dad" I take a deep breath and try and read her face, she looks confused but also relieved?

"Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you honey?"

"So...I won't have to go with dad? I can stay with you forever right? He won't be able to take me from you?"

It's only when she says this that I understand the relief on her face, she had been scared this whole time that we wouldn't be together at some point. I can feel my heart break for her "No honey, you'll be able to stay with me and well...Jimin" I watch as her curious eyes look at me now "Will this test tell me who my real dad is then?"
