I laid with him all night raped in his arms I felt so safe with him like I could just be me and because of my dad that was a rare feeling. My dad always made me feel like I had to live up to something, who he wanted me to be. I always focused on learning who he wanted me to be I never got to learn who I was and what I wanted to do. It was nice with Lewis not making me feel like I had to be someone else.

The next morning, I wake up and check the clock 6:00 why do I do this wake up so early and can't go back to sleep. I slowly get out of bed careful not to wake him and put the blanket back over him before going to get a drink. Walking over to the sink grabbing a glass of water still wrapping my head around all that happened yesterday. Putting the glass down and my hands on the edge of the sink taking a deep beath to calm my mind. I hear footsteps behind me but remembering who it was I turn around.

"Lyla... you should be in bed we stayed up pretty late last night."

'"I couldn't sleep."

" Your stressed about Evin aren't you?"

" I mean I was 18 I didn't know how to raise a kid and I'm 28 now even if we get him back my mom left me when I 4 what kind of mom will I be."                      

" Trust me I get it I was 20 didn't know where you were, or I had a son. I never met my mother my dad was not around much my brother basically raised me all we can do is prove we are better than our parents."   

I nod looking down at my feet he comes closer to me put my forehead to his chest he raps his arms around me and runs his hand through my hair. " You know out of all the ways I saw us being together I did not imagine this." He chuckled at my comment we stood there for a bit just loving and taking in the feeling of being together.     

" You know what?" 

" mhm..."  I respond with my cheek in his chest arms around his waist his arms around me. 

" You and Evin should come back to San Francico with me."

" You know we haven't even talked about if we're together now or not, right?"

" You don't want to be with me?"

"Woah I never said that its just we have a kid now and the DNA tests, going to court that can be a lot." 

" I can handle it just... be with me I love you."

" I love you to..."

With that the boy of my dreams and I were together after years of crying thinking he forgot me and turns out he remembered me all along. We are in a relationship later that we got ready and went to Mr. Jeffres office to see more in depth of what we have to do to get Evin back. we sit in the chairs in front of his desk I pick at my hand the thing I do when I get nervous. Lewis sees this and places his hand over mine rubbing his thumb over the red skin calming me. In that moment I know he really dose care, Mr. Jeffres sits in his chair looking over papers on Evin.

" Hello my name is Mr. Jeffres I'm with child and family services, Now I don't believe I've met you. "He says looking at Lewis.

" I'm Lewis Connelly."

Mr. Jeffres put his hands together and put them on his desk. " Now I must warn you your case Is very rare. So there is another woman trying to adopt Evin she thinks that you two are not fit for Evin.

I look at him in shock. " What how... look in Evin's medical records I'm his mother weather he was put up for adoption or not.     

" That is true but her argument is that if you gave him up once that you are not able to take care of him."

" I didn't give him up I got hit by a car and my father signed him up for adoption while I was pasted out for two days."

" the court meeting still stands that's all I can say for now you can go now Mr. Connelly we would like some DNA tests if its ok." 

With that I waited outside for him more than mad that someone else was trying to take my son away from me. The fact they are just passing him off to a random woman like something you can just buy he's a child. Lewis came out a bit later and saw I was upset but didn't ask me about it till we were home.

" Hey... you, ok?"

"No I'm not ok there talking about a random woman taking my son in his file its my name he's mine."

" I know and to think he could not even be my kid."

I turn to face him " he is your kid trust me he looks like you."  

" How do you know?"

"You... you were my first time, and I haven't been with anyone sense we met."

"I was your first time... that's um good to know."
