Tim's POV

Well that was weird?
"Do you know why Wes left?"
I directed the question at James but was thinking the same thing inside.
"Not a clue, I'll text him"
James and I continues our drinking until 2am when I walked back into my house.

Heidi was sat at the bar stools in the kitchen so I walked over to her.
"Hey babe, you didn't have to wait up for me you know?"
"Tim...."
"Yeah?" I sounded like something was wrong.
"I-i"
Heidi broke down crying. I sat down in the floor beside her, cradling her between my arms.
"What's wrong baby?"
"I-i it's not yours"
I was confused, I knew what she meant but I, thought, I hoped I was wrong.
"What's not mine?"
I knew she wouldn't say it, that made her guilty.
"I-i cheated.......... a lot"
I knew it was coming. I had come to that conclusion about a week ago. Constantly going out late, getting presents.
"Why tell me now?"
"The baby had a genetic disorder, it has to actually appear in a parent for the child to have it so........ And I figured it would be best to know now, rather than argue when the baby's born"
"You know definitively it isn't mine"
Heidi just nodded.
"Please leave now"
She did so without argument. Knowing she had messed up.
I was crushed.
I was just coming around to the fact I would be a dad, to the point I was starting to become exited about it, even if Heidi was the mother. Now...... God I missed Lucy.

Lucy's POV

Just as I got home I saw Tim's break up post. The kid wasn't his. I slightly smiled before realising that was a completely inappropriate reaction.

Tim wasn't going to a father... or...... not to Heidi's baby. Now she wouldn't have to make a decision whether to stay or leave.
In some ways this was... Good.

Then again, every, single, time that Tim broke up it somehow made me smile. Whether it was Ashley, Isobel, Rachel. Each ex made me happy. Because even then..... Even now I still love him. More than I should considering we haven't seen eachother in 9 months.

It doesn't matter anyway. Tim's going to hate me in a month. I'm going to dump a baby on him and just leave. No warning, no nothing.
It was poetic in a way. The day our daughter is born is the day Tim breaks up with him girlfriend. He doesn't even know it yet.

*A week later*

Needless to say having a newborn was tough. She slept all day and night and yet somehow she was never asleep long enough for me to nap. Angela and Wesley went back home two days ago.
No idea what their excuse was.
I was already a quarter of the way done with being in my daughter's life. I would watch her achievements, online, through Angela and Wesley, sometimes I might even  come to LA and visit. She wouldn't know who I was. Just one of Angela and Wesley's friends.
Then I could meet her, her personality, character traits, what she looks like.
I made sure to document everything. I had already decided I would give Tim access to a bank account for Juniper and a storage locker in LA with things for her.

I put in £20,000 , practically everything I had in my savings account. And started labeling what everything was.
I wrote a note. I still had three weeks. I knew it would be hard. Hard to say goodbye. But this was best, for Tim, for me, for Juniper.

I videoed everything. I knew once she was gone I would watch even the crying just to remind myself this was the right decision.
This had to be the right decision. It wasn't just me it affected. Now it affected me, Tim and Juniper. I loved than more than anything in the world. I couldn't hurt them more than I already had.
