🍒 If every human makes mistakes, can you tell me I was your best one? 🍒
I wasn't really sure how I'm going to get use to the newest member of the family. It was so weird having a kid around. William was a lot like Hanma. Every time I looked at him I saw my husband in his eyes, his golden eyes. His face, the facial expressions, his manners and the way she was acting, the kid was like a mini version of Shuji.

The only thing, that was different, is that Shuji loves me to dead, while this kid made sure I know how much he blames me for his mother's sickness. It was hard for me. I'm not going to stay out here and lie how easy it is for me, because it isn't. Not long after William's arrival, the whole city knew that my husband got a kid from another woman. It was a small city after all, it wasn't surprising. The thing that shocked me was just how much everyone blames me.
"I heard mister Hanma got another woman's pregnant, because miss y/n didn't want to give him a kid". "She must be treating him bad, if he has to impregnate another woman in order to have a child".
Yes, it was awful. I was walking around down town and everyone was staring at me like I was the bad guy. This is the only minus a small town has. Despite everything negative about the situation we still found something good in it. Like, it was nice hearing a child's voice in the morning and the way William was calling Shuji "dad" was just adorable. William was not a bad kid and I know I can win him over, if I'm just a little bit patient with him.
"You gotta understand, y/n", Akashi was trying to put some sense in me, "the kid just lost his birth mom and now he has to live with his dad, that he never met before and his new wife. It must be really hard for such young child".
"I understand completely", I responded and I sipped of my new porcelain cup, that Shuji bought from me on his trip, "I just don't know how to act, you know. I wanna show him, that I'm not his enemy and I'm ready to help him with whatever I can. How tho?".
"Have you tried talking to him? Maybe right now he's a confused, because he's young and he doesn't understand what is happening, maybe he needs someone to talk to".
Akashi was right. William isn't that old and I'm sure Shuji didn't explain to him what will happen to his mom, so the kid just needs some comfort. That's all. I took this advice and later that that I walked to the third floor, where we created a whole room for William with the newest clothes, newest toys and the biggest bedroom we could find. He was inside reading a book with stories, he was so focused he didn't even realised I was there. I knocked on the door and this was the moment he finally noticed me. He put the book down and looked at me with that golden eyes, the same gold eyes my husband watched me with last night while fucking me hard.
"Hey, William", I smiled at him and I got closer to him, then I stopped next to his bed and I stayed there with a dumb smile on my face, I was so nervous, "I'm here to tell you, that dinner is almost ready", I said to him.
"You don't have to pretend, that you like me, you know", he said and he looked down to his feet, "I know you don't want me here.. just like dad doesn't want me here", he said.
I felt my heart sink. It was the saddest thing I've hear from a child. The look on his face was so dark, it was almost dead. His body was tense and his eyes were glued on the floor. Does he really think he's unwanted? At this moment I felt extreme guilt in my throat and I sat next to him, I pulled him in my arms and I hugged him tight. The kid started sobbing a little.
"My mommy is not here anymore", William said and started crying loudly, his tears falling on my dress soaking it all, "I'm never going to see her again", he started crying even louder and I gently rubbed his back. I can't believe how much a small child has to go thru.
After a few minutes he calmed down and I tap his back. He looked up at me and I smiled at him, but this time genuinely, "I might not be your mom and I'll never replace her, but I'll do my absolute best to give you the best life you can have. And I'll always be by your side". He hugged me one more time and I hugged him back. I have to be a mom for him.
Hanma's pov: I heard William crying very loudly in his room, so I immediately ran to see what's up. It was a whole new thing for me to be a dad, but I'm really worried for my kid. My kid, it's sounds ridiculous, right? And besides that I'm running like crazy to see, if he's okay. Turns out y/n was already there to help the situation. I stopped at the door step and I watched both of them just hugging each other, William finally opened up to show his feelings and I feel so happy, that he trusted y/n with that. As I was ready to walk in and join the fun Chifuyu came to give me my mail for the day. Only one letter? I thought and I put my glasses on to see who sent me this, I put my glasses on and the name immediately popped up in front of my eyes: manjiro sano. I opened the latter and started reading:
"Hello, Hanma. I would like to visit you personally, but as you might know I'm still not in a good position, so please come by my house tomorrow. We gotta discuss something important. Very, very important. And make sure y/n doesn't find out about our meeting. You don't want her to find out the thru about you, don't you?"
I was standing completely speechless and my hands started shaking like crazy. How is that possible? How does he know? This guy's been in a coma for so long, did he really figured me out? I hope it's just bullshit.
A/n-Hello, guys! 💕💕💕 Thank you so much for being patient with me and supporting me! You're the best. I hope you're ready for the next few chapters, because it's going to be messy.
