My Baby Bridgerton

Chapter one

Anthony was in his heaven, he finally had Kate after the months of torture. He had her. Ring on finger. For the rest of his life. She was everything he needed in a match. And he would never let her go. The honeymoon was bliss and he very seldom left the bed. But of course they had little peace with the house that was in it. Dinners were wild and loud. But he liked it that way.

Anthony sat with his perfect family.. his wife, Kathani Sharma, his mother, Eloise, Colin, Hyacinth, Benedict and Gregory. Francesca and Daphne being the only two missing.

Before his world turned upside town, Anthony would've described the day to be pretty normal, he hadn't returned to his work just yet, he was at peace. Giving glances and winks to his wife at the table to which Eloise kept complaining. And Violet explaining how one day that she will find a match. Of course, that was not met well with Eloise as she described all the ways she could be intellectually stimulated rather than be married off like a cow at a mart.

"Mama! Gregory keeps throwing things at me! Gregory stop!" Hyacinth whined. Gregory had food on his spoon as he bent it to fling at his sister. "Gregory please have manners!" Violet said. He flung it but it accidentally hit kates dress leaving a stain. Gregory's mouth opened in an 0 shape. "I'm ever so sorry!" He said.

"Now Gregory!" Violet said.

Anthony smirked. "Oh it's quite alright violet.. I'll get changed.. I'll be back in a moment." Kate said. She walked past and Anthony brushed his hand against her body.

"I'm eating" Eloise scoffed.

The maids walked into the door. "Uh Lord Bridgerton? A caller for you."

Anthony smiled and stood up placing his napkin on the table. "I will be back.." he said before brushing his hands and walking down the corridor.

The door was still open and there stood a very familiar face. His face immediately reddened. He felt his heart in his mouth and the sweat pouring off his face. It was the one person he never thought he'd have to see again. A million memories rushed through his head. But the most recent one, the most heartbreaking one did first, and once it entered his kind, it wouldn't leave. He tried to open his mouth but he was afraid an embarrassing squeak would leave it. He eventually mustered up the words. Well.... one word. "Siena?" He whispered.

"Anthony.." she said with her hands out. "I realise you're not expecting me but don't close the door" she said eyeing his hand that was latched on tight.

"What the hell are you doing here!" He said firmly. How dare she come to his family home, intrude on his life as if they ended on good terms! As if he didn't have a wife: he was about to start into her when she began to speak.

"I need to admit something to you, and you will be mad but.. it's what happened" she said raising her eyes to meet his. She moved her legs and revealed a little girl. Tiny face. She looked around 1 or 2.

Benedict heard his brothers angry voice from away and walked over. He saw Siena but was not as shocked as Anthony was. Anthony's surprised expression deepened as he stare at the little girl behind her, he was looking at her in complete bewilderment as they try to process the sight. His expression hardened as he stares at the little girl, his eyes looking at her closely, as if trying to figure out something. "Ok and what's this! What do you want Siena" he shook his head just wanting Siena to leave and never bother him again.

Benedict spoke "Who's child is that?"

"I thought you should know I was hiding something from you. She's yours, Anthonys I mean .." Siena said looking towards him for his reaction.

He looked absolutely flabbergasted and his face paled. He stares at the girl, his eyes filled with stunned disbelief. He turned around paced and had his hands extended. "What the hell do you mean she is mine! Why would you come here and say that! She is not mine! " He said angrily. When Siena didn't argue against him he stuttered. "....Is she... mine" "Siena this is completely ridiculous what the bloody hell are you talking about!" He said going through every emotion he could possibly go through.

"She is." Siena said. Anthony knew from her expression that she was telling the truth. He went silent for what felt like a lifetime and never broke gaze with her. He hadn't realised his whole family was behind him at this point and heard everything. "How... how could you hide this from me?" He whispered with a firm gaze.

"Me and my husband have been raising her, he recently found out she wasn't his so.."

Anthony looks at her in disbelief, processing not only the fact that he had a child, but also that you kept it a secret from him. "Years... YEARS. You've kept this from me for years?!" He said. Benedict and Violet continue to remain speechless while Eloise and Hyacinth look at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief as they listen.

"Yes.. just two years, but if he had not have found out, it would've been longer so.. you should really thank him" Siena muttered.

Anthony continues to look at her, his hands clenching into fists as he tries to contain his anger and frustration towards her. "Oh! I should thank him! Wow! Excuse me if I am not grateful! You should've told me. I had a right to know. How could you keep this from me?" He spat.

"I told you I had to look after myself! Because I wanted to marry John! and I was pregnant! He would not marry me if I told you she was your baby!" She said angrily.

The Bridgerton family all exchanged glances upon hearing your response, all of them still in disbelief at the entire situation. However Anthony's expression is one of anger as he continues to look at Siena. "So you kept the truth from me to get married? You know Siena, I really did think there was more in you! I thought you had better morals.."

"He presumed the baby was his, and until yesterday he thought that was true." Siena said.

Anthony continues to glare anger and frustration evident in his eyes. He takes a few deep breaths before speaking again "And now you come here after two years to tell me that I have a child. Did you ever plan on telling me?"

"No.."

Anthony looks at you in complete disbelief, he was shaking his head as he struggles to contain his anger. "You seriously never planned on telling me. I had a daughter, a child of my blood, and you never planned on telling me?" He said. He was shaking with rage.

"I didn't think you'd care... it was outside marriage" Siena said.

Anthony looks hurt upon hearing her response, his expression faltering for a moment. But his anger takes over again. "Do not deflect! You Didn't think I'd care? It's my child! I understand that you do not want me in your life! But dont you think I have the right to know I have a daughter? And why wouldn't I care if it's not within marriage?"

"Well she's been raised by my husband and he always thought she was his." Siena says.
