021- The Truth

(A/N: will be skipping those previously mentioned parts because nothing happens anyway. Pls be kind.)

After we came back from the zoo the next day I placed Archer in Kane's arms. "Would you mind wiping the face paint off of his face and coming into my room...our room." I corrected myself after asking.

"Yes of course."

I went to our room and set up my phone and recording stand, changed my clothes, took down my hair, and waited for the boys.

"Momma we're here!" Archer shouts running in the room, a little bag in his hand. I motion Kane to close the door, a quick "hi buddy!" to our son, and tell Kane to stand on the opposite of me with Archer.

I start the recording, making sure to be in frame.

"Hi guys I'm back. I know some of you out there were probably wondering: 'omg where has she been?'  Some may not. But yes, I am still alive. Now, I won't lie to you guys; these past few months have been hard for me. To be honest I loved getting the sweet messages and comments you guys have been sending me..I'm thankful for them. But anyway that's not why I'm here. Quick disclaimer this will be an unedited raw footage of everything you see today, so it may be long. As some of you may know, I have a son named Archer." I motion for Archer to come over and sit on my lap.

"So this is my boy Archer...we just celebrated his birthday recently." Archer waves to the camera and shows his age on his fingers. "Good job buddy. Anyway, and if you've been following me and the NSB boys you would know that were all in the same friend group along with our own separate channels, but we also collaborate, and that's been on for YEARS. Just enough time to have Arch here, right? Exactly. Now before I dive further into this mess I want to beg you guys please do not send any hate towards anyone mentioned in this video, they do not deserve it no matter how bad that hurt me." Archer got down off my lap bag still in hand, and went into his toy corner to play. "Okay bye bud. He's so cute. Ah! Off topic, can't do that! Focus. Now, I would just like start...at the time of my pregnancy with Archer, and during most of his life...his father wanted nothing to do with him. I accepted that...we both thought we were ready but when reality hit his father he was scared..and I'll let him explain in a bit. Yes, Archers dad is here. Anyway, right around his 2 month mark as you may know I started dating Darren. He pretty much was Archers father figure and I could tell he loved him, and me both. Darren was also the only one from NSB that knew who Archers father was. Well...that didn't end well. I'm going to be honest and again don't send any hate; Darren cheated. If I need to bring Justin into this to back me up I will. So Darren cheated and we split up...I spent some time with my old friends, almost got myself into a new relationship with an old flame. Yada yada yada. So I'm back here. Darren SPILLS THE BEANS during an argument him and I had in front of the group. THAT is where Archers real father comes in..." I motion for Kane to come into the camera. Last minute he grabs a blanket on the floor and covers his body with it. He sits down next to me. "This...is Archers father...Mr Kane Ratan, everyone." I say unveiling Kane beneath the blanket.

Kane gives a small wave to the camera.

"Kane...would you care to share...it can be anything.."

He nodded. "Like she has mentioned...when I find out she was pregnant with Archer, I didn't claim that. I didn't believe that he was mine. I went as far as claiming she was cheating on me...to trying to kick her out of her own apartment. We had chats about wanting to have kids and wanting to try but like she said that reality hit and I was frightened. Nervous. When she finally came back, during the fight with Darren...he called me some things that no father or father figure should ever want to be called. I realized then...that if I didn't try right then and there to match my way back into her life...into Archers. That I may never have that chance again. So I told her. She accepted me. I was let back in, embraced in the warmest hugs anyone could ever receive...by the people that they love the most...that love them the most. With that being said...I want us to be a full family. I want us to grow old, move out. Get our own house, a backyard for archer...his playground, his own pets. A sibling...parents who are happily in love...arch come here buddy..." Kane said in tears. Archer walks over and hands him the bag he ran in with.

"Now this may not be the best...or what you even wanted...but do you remember...the first time we ever went into the ring store? That beautiful ring you told me you loved....well. I called 6 different stores. 6. I finally found one that had it. 4 hours drive north....I thought...this is the ring. This is the one I will use to propose...to make her my wife. To make our family happy and whole again...will you....will you...marry me? Allow me to make our family happy and whole again, with everything that I mentioned..?"

I looked at Kane, in tears just as much as I was...my hand covering my mouth. I nodded and wimpered out a "yes." And embraced Kane.

Archer came over and joined in the hug. "Don't cry mommy and daddy, I love you."

And that is where the video ended.
