Okay, I have come to say that this story will be wrapping up very soon. I'm thinking 25 chapters maximum. I'm not getting anymore ideas anymore and it's sad to say that I am getting kind of bored. I'll miss this chapter so so much, this was my very first story on here, but all good stories must come to an end. Who knows,maybe you might see Cristiano and Paige guest appear in one of my future stories! Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. I know you all were requesting this chapter be out "like, now!" Aha so here you go!

★★★

*Paige*

Something didn't add up at all. I mean, it all made such sense and the whole thing was realistic to me. It feels as though the fates honestly do not agree on me and Cristiano being together with what has been happening and all. But what about Benjamin? Our son with so many resemblances of his father in only a month time span? He was too young to understand anything but would he be happy in this environment? Growing up with constant arguement in the house?

That's when I came with the heartaching decision.

"Paige! Please listen to me, one second to explain!" Cristiano begged. I had come early that next morning to pick up my things, one of which was Benji. "I'm sure you have a reasonable explaination, but right now, I think we need some time." I nodded my head in Benji's direction. "For our son's sake."

This seemed to have calmed Cristiano down slightly as he sighed a surrender. "You're right." He stepped closer, "but please..I need to see him atleast once a week."

"Agreeable, I'll have Marcelo drop him off."

"I would like it if you dropped him off, Paige." His hands were behind his back in a subtle manner as he held a hopeful eye.

"Don't make this hard, Cris."

"Okay..okay."

He bent down to kiss Benji lightly on the forehead while mumbling his goodbyes that were along the lines of "Adios Mijo. Keep mommy safe." As he stood up, he leaned and kissed me on the cheek. "I'll see you. Hopefully."

It was scary how those words haunted me. His voice still rings in my head, 6 months later. It did take a bit for the hurt to go away, but my wound is healed, Cristiano's name was clean again, and I was back to the shadows. On the plus side, Benji was growing so healthy.

"Benjamin, please stop spitting your food out at mommy." I held a spoon of Gerber in his face and watched his bored expression turn into disgust. "Here comes the plane?"

Nothing.

"Here comes the train?"

Nothing.

"Here comes the football spying through the stadium?"

Instantly, his mouth opened wide and received the food gradually. "Like father, like son." I mumbled bitterly.

"That is his son." Marina walked--waddled in the room with one hand placed on her back.

"Soon, you'll have a Marcelo bouncing around. Or a Marina?" I took Benji out of the high chair and carried him in my arms. "Why won't you go find out the gender?"

"I want it to be a surprise." She beamed, opening her arms for Benji. He pushed himself closer to me as a way to tell her that he didn't want her carrying her. "He's a mommas boy. "

"He really does resemble Cristiano."

"How has he been?" I regretted the question immediately once the words were said. Marina shrugged her shoulders but knew 100% that she knew something. It's not like I didn't know that her and Marcelo would visit Cristiano on a weekly basis.

"He's good, I guess."

I glared at her and she began biting her nails. "What are you hiding?"

She sighed heavily and sat back, ready to confess. "He's a mess without you."

"A mess?"

"He loves you and your the love of his life."

I ignored my fast pacing heart and swallowed thick. "I-I"

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. I got to go anyway." She grabbed her bag quickly before giving a peck to Benji who giggled. "Bye, girl."

I growled to myself once I heard the door close and mentally kicked myself. "Why did I let myself fall so hard!"

Benjamin moved in my arms and started whining. "What's wrong baby? You want bouncy?" I motioned to the bouncer in the living room as he clapped frantically. Once I placed him in his bouncy, he sighed in contentment. "You're precious." I chuckled.

The creak of the front door rang in my ears, but I assumed it was Marina forgetting something so I ignored it. "You happy, Benji Boy?" Getting on my hands and knees, I began tickling him on his neck and making him giggle loudly. His laughter stopped abruptly and he craned his neck. From my peripherals,I could see a pale, blonde figure.

"Go to hell, Lexi." I growled.

"Oh my darling Paige." Her voice cracked lightly as she began to chuckle. "Look what became of you."

"Touch my son, I'll make sure your death would be painful and slow."

"That's suppose to be my son! Me and Cristiano were suppose to end up together."

"Sorry Lexi, you lose." My face was now inches away from hers. "Get out of my house you spawn of Satan."

"I believe I win. And when I have him, I will permanently win." With that she spun on her heel and left with a slam of the door.

Benjamin began crying uncontrollably and reached his arms out for me. "Oh my baby!" I grabbed him quickly and squeezed him. "You'll be safe. Always. Mommy won't let anyone take you."

It pained me to do this, but swallowing my pride would be the only way out. I grabbed my phone and dialed the now foriegn number. It was for the safety for my son.

"Cris..we need to talk."
