Hero Finneas Tiffin

Why is he attempting to be that movie doctor who likes to create suspense in order to keep the audience on edge?

"Just tell me, Harry!"
"Stop making me nervous!"
I groaned in frustration.

"Hero. I believe you should talk with Josephine and tell her everything. Her current condition is critical. The things Hailey is putting her through could cause serious injuries to Jo."
"You can already see your divorce paper lead into her almost miscarriage but luckily everything is fine. Your daughter is weak, but she is a fighter."

This brought a genuine smile to my face.
My little girl.
I'm a father once more.

"Oh my goodness, I'm a father again!"
I yelled and jumped, I punched the air.

Harry and Clara both smiled at me.
"You're an aunt and uncle!"
I yelled, a big grin on my face.

"I'm an uncle!"
This was Harry.

Clara simply shook her head and laughed at our reaction.
"You're as small as Freddie. Sometimes I think he's more mature than you guys."

Oh no! Freddie!

I quickly took my phone from my pocket and dialled Katherine.
I exclaimed over the phone as soon as she answered.
"Get your ass back as soon as possible! Jo gave birth to our baby girl!"

"Oh my God! Titan, pack your shit, we're going back. Freddie, darling, we're going to Mummy!"
"I miss maa and papa!"

I heard shouting on the other side of the phone. Freddie was overjoyed to be back.

I'm missing Freddie. I don't think I would have survived if he hadn't come into my life.

"I'm on my way, Papa. Freddie misses you and Maa so much!"
I burst out laughing.

He must have stolen Katherine's phone.

"Papa and Maa miss you as well, baby. Your baby sister is eager to meet you."
I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.

"I'm coming, daddy!"

"Goodbye, Papa!"
He said his goodbyes and hung up the phone.

"Go talk to Jo, Hero. She needs you. Tell her everything."

I nodded and took a deep breath. She was transferred to the private ward.

I entered the room and closed the door behind me as quietly as I could.

There she was, looking beautiful as ever yet so weak and fragile in her sleep.
When I looked beside her, there was my daughter.

India.
My baby girl.

As I approached her crib and looked at her, tears streamed down my cheeks.
She looks exactly like her mother.

My heart was filled with fatherly love and adoration.
I leaned down to pick her up in my arms when Josephine woke up and said.
"Do not touch my daughter."

I came to a halt in the middle and stared at her with wide eyes.

He-her daughter?
When was it ever hers and mine in our relationship? It was always ours.

I cracked her a pathetic smile. I was clinging to the hope that she was kidding.

"What are you saying, Jo?"

"I said don't touch my daughter."
She gritted her teeth.

"Jo, you can't do it! She is also my daughter!"

"She is not your daughter! Neither is Freddie your son! I want you out of here right now!"

This will only trigger her health problems.

"Jo. Please relax and actually listen to what I'm saying."
I muttered and took a step towards her, only to take another step back.

Her eyes are filled with venom for me. There was pain, but the hatred in her eyes was evident.

I felt like someone had cut open my wound and rubbed salt on it.

"Hero, I hate you! I hate you! Because of you, I almost lost my daughter!"

Continual ugly tears streamed down our cheeks. None of us attempted to keep it from falling.

The silence in the air was killing me. The pain and betrayal were evident in the air.

"Josephine, please-"
But she interrupted me.

"Hero, just fuck off! If you truly loved me, please leave me alone!"

And the ticking bomb in my head exploded.

"Enough! Enough is enough, Josephine!"
"I've been attempting to communicate with you! Why can't you be quiet for a change and listen to me?"

"Fuck you, I never cheated on you!" "Juliet forced me to do it! She got your nudes as well as our sex tape! She forced me to make it appear as if I was cheating on you in order to harm you! She wanted to hurt you! Believe me when I say that I love you."
"I love you, Josephine."
I whispered the last part. Taking a small, cautious step towards her bed. She didn't try to stop me or say anything mean to me this time.

I wrapped my arms around her and sobbed in her neck.

"Hailey is Juliet. I have no idea why she underwent surgery. However, she intends to destroy us. She has come to exact her revenge. She threatened to hurt you and our baby if I told you anything about her. I couldn't bear the thought of you being hurt as a result of my actions. I can't. I'm sorry for causing you such pain and grief. I love you. I love you to pieces."

"I love you, Hero."
She murmured quietly. Kissing and caressing the side of my head. I snuggled closer to her neck and softly kissed her skin.

"I'm also sorry."

"It's fine."
I sighed and muttered.

Prepare yourself, Juliet. I'm on my way to destroy you.
