Through Infinity and Past Beyond ( Perri Kiely - Diversity)

Chapter 18 (teaser? Idk)

Jada

I was crying, I had my head in my hands. Pel still had his hand on my back but it had stopped moving, just still on the centre of my back. I was too terrified to look up and see his face, see what he was feeling and thinking. What he needs to understand is that I'm still in pain, I gave away my daughter, I'm protecting her. I love him and I didn't tell him because I never want to hurt him.

'Where are the photos?' Is the first thing he's said, and it just about broke me.

I got up and retrieved the photos of my beautiful baby girl from inside the leggings in my draw that I never wear. I sat back down next to Perri and handed him the photos. Straight away he was going threw them, inspecting each one like he'd never seen another baby before. And before I know it tears are running down his face and all I can do is sit there with my own tears drowning my body while the man I love looks at my daughter and cries.

'Why didn't you say anything?' He all of a sudden turns to me with tears streaming down his precious face and in this moment my protective mother in me comes out.

'She's my daughter I have to protect her no matter what. Whether it's from her father or from my mistakes or even me she will be safe.' I say strongly not wanting to hurt him but it's all true.

' how would I knowing about her put her I danger?' He says still looking hurt and his eyes still so glossy it's breaking me.

' because I had to know I could trust you with her. I always knew I could trust you with me but she's a whole other level baby. Perrie means everything to me. The only reason I'm here is because if I'm still on this earth I can still protect her from her father.' I say as a single tear rolls down my cheek and for the first time since his hand froze on my back Perri touches me, wiping away my tear which in the end only make more flow out because he's touching me.

' I inderstand that she's your daughter and you have to protect her but how haven't I found out? How have you been getting these photos and me not finding out?' He looks clearly confused as he has the right to be.

'Annie' one simple word, a name, comes out of my mouth and his expression changes.

' of course. Undetectable' he says almost in disbelief but his face shows everything but.

'I'm telling you now because I trust you. If I didn't trust you you would never know about her. Her safety is everything. Her being protected is everything. Her parents are ex military and ex police, she couldn't be more safe.' I say looking at him hoping it sinks in for him.

'I understand baby I'm just hurt.' he says and he has every right to be. But that doesn't mean I'd change my decision. He may be my world but my daughter is my everything.
' I honestly just can't believe your a mother!' And this time he cracks a smile.
'She's gorgeous baby, just like her mother.' he says pulling me into his side and kissing the side of my head.

And with those simple gestures I can feel my heart already starting to glue back together.

' now... Ex military huh? Is he scary?' And that's how we talk about my baby girl all night, in fact so long he fall asleep tangled on the couch as the sunrises the next day...
