David POV
Kevin stared at me like I was stupid. I just told him we were having another baby. He should've happy. Last time I told him I was pregnant he wasn't so happy. He accused me of cheating on him and I also got a black eye too. So why isn't he looking happy now?
"You're pregnant again?" Kevin asked biting his lip
"Yes! I took two tests this morning and they both say positive. We're having another kid Kev," I said sitting down next to him
I could see something in his eyes, it was a mix of worry and happiness. I leaned over and kissed him softly.
"Don't worry baby. Things are goin to be alright," I said
"I know. I believe you. It's just that this is all a big shock now. You're carrying our second baby and with everything going on , I don't know how I'm gonna support our family," Kevin said
"Kev, you're going find another job. Maybe this is a sign that being a defense attorney isn't your thing anymore but whatever happens just know that I'm here for you," I said
"Thanks baby," Kevin said kissing me
"Ewwww!" Dakota said
The audacity of him 🌚
I put Dakota on my lap and prepared myself for telling him the good news.
He was young but he should understand that I'm having his sibling.
"Hey Kota, me and daddy have some big news for you," I said
"Candy?" Dakota asked
See I blame Kevin for that. Always giving him sweets when he's not supposed to be all that sweet shit.
"No bud, you're gonna be a big brother," Kevin said to him
For a moment he sat there trying to understand what was just told to him. He looked at both of us but he wasn't getting it. I put his hand on my stomach and that's when his face lit up.
He started smiling big and clapping excitedly. I kissed his forehead feeling happier than ever.

Dakota was now sleeping which gave me and Kevin the night to ourselves. I was in the dining room trying to finish up paperwork from work today but this shit is taking forever and a day. Kevin walked in and sat down next to me.
"Still not done?" He asked
"No. I gotta get this in my tomorrow morning," I said stressed
"Earlier today I saw my grandmother. It didn't go as planned. I tried to talk to her but she's so damn stubborn. Acting like I was her savior or something but I was just a child," Kevin said
"I'm sorry bout that baby," I said looking at him
"Why'd you give me a second chance? After all the shit I did to you, why?" Kevin asked
I took a deep breath and took him to the living room. I sat on his lap as he wrapped his arms tightly around me.
"Kev, I took you back because I believe in you. You've showed me that you're willing to change and be better for me and Dakota. And I love you Kevin. We might've been divorced but I never stopped loving you," I said
Kevin leaned up and kissed me softly. I cupped his face as we continued kissing. If we don't stop, this baby is gonna have a twin sibling.
I'm serious 🤭
"I love you too David. I'm gonna make you proud," Kevin said
I smiled at him and rested my head against his. We were getting to a new normal. A place where I feel safe, loved and respected by Kevin. No more of the abusive and controlling guy. Those dark days were behind us, and all that mattered now was moving forward together.
