Safe Haven

Fixing

Lilly's p.o.v

I've managed to upset the two most important men in my life. Great Lilly. Just great. I sat on the bed not knowing how to address the situation. I mean Aaryan knows that Aman is not he's dad... but I guess it just grew onto him that maybe Aman was his real dad.... It broke my heart seeing him like that... I really didn't want to address this situation right now. Taking a deep breath, I laid down on my bed and just thought. I didn't expect Aman to react in the way he did... But I guess he has every right to be angry with the situation.

I thought about how I have been trying to be strong for Aaryan these 7 years. After Adrian my only concern I was to raise Aaryan and give him everything he needed. He asked questions when he went to school about his father but never once did he complaint. He was a good kid.

I did cry when the days got hard but I never gave up. But now, I didn't want to have all the responsibilities of a mum I just want to be Lilly. I wanted to be real and I wanted to just cry.

I allowed the tears that were streaming down my face... I didn't try to stop them or hide them... Right now, I couldn't be bothered. Pain demands to be felt and today I allowed myself to feel it... All times I locked it away... Today... I didn't care.

Aman's p.o.v

I walked away from the house. I just kept walking and walking. This isn't my area. I have no idea where anything was or where I was going. I just needed to get away. I don't know what it was. When she said that Adrian was Aaryan's dad I lost it. Even after what he did to her, she still regards him as Aaryan's dad, it totally didn't make any sense to me. The walk definitely helped. I sat down on a bench. It was cold. It helped numb everything I was feeling. I loved and cared for her too much to see her suffer. Aaryan needed a dad and if she stills wants me, I will be there for them.

I knew I wanted this. I wanted every part of her crazy life. And the first is to fix this problem. I sat on the bench for a couple more minutes absorbing the surroundings; painting a picture in my head. I imagined a huge grass patch, where the three of us will run around and laugh like a family. A true family. I felt a smile spread across my face.

Standing up I walked back to the house. Back to my queen and our little prince.

Third person's p.o.v

Uncle sat in the living room with his arms crossed, waiting for Aman to return home. He promised. He promised never to hurt her and to be with her forever. And now, she is in the room, crying; because of him. Unbelievable.

Aman carefully opened the door and made his way in. Aman saw the look on uncle ji's face. He knew what he was thinking and it broke his heart. "Let me explain. I over reacted. I needed to get some air. After what you said about Adrian I couldn't accept that she would still regard him as Aaryan's dad." Aman looked up at him. "I am still going to be with her till the end. I'm a man of my word."

Uncle ji let out a sigh. "Fine. I trust you Amandeep." He replied looking at the stairway. "First, go to the guest room and talk to Aaryan. He over heard you guys talking and now he is crying knowing that you're not his dad."

Aman's heart broke. "Oh no.... I'm going to talk to him first and then to Lilly." Uncle ji took a step towards Aman and pulled him into a hug. Aman felt like he was in his dad's arms again and tears began to well up in his eyes.

"You're a great guy Aman." He said placing his hands on his shoulder. Aman wiped his eyes and made his way to the guest room. Standing by the door and took a deep breath in. He gently knocked the door before making his way in.

Aaryan sat in the centre of the queen size bed and he looked tiny. He hugged his stuffed dinosaur close to his chest. "Hey buddy." He began. "Can I come in?" Aaryan looked up at him. His eyes were red and puffy and he had a runny nose. Aman felt so bad for putting him through it. But he knew that the words he was about to say was something maybe both of them needed to hear. Aaryan nodded as Aman walked towards the bed and took a seat next to him. Aman lifted him off the bed and put him on his lap, hugging him tightly.

"You're not my real daddy." He whispered.

Aman let out a shaky breath. "I know buddy." Aman leaned down and kissed the top of his head. "But here's the thing. Real dads have no choice but to love their children. But not me. Aaryan I chose to be your daddy and I chose to love you." Aaryan turned around and looked at Aman. He wrapped his hands around his neck. "Don't ever forget that okay?"

"I love you daddy."

Aman smiled.

"I love you too buddy." He kissed the side of his head and put him back on the bed. "Sleep well Aaryan. See you later."

After putting Aaryan down for his nap, he decided to go and talk to Lilly.

Here goes nothing.....

(A/N sorry for slow updates... I'll get back on it as soon as I'm settled. Thank you for everything. Feel free to let me now what you felt.)
