Loving You (Tyler Seguin) {Sequel to How To Love}

Chapter 62

Tyler's POV

Amy's moving in today. She hasn't even seen the house yet. We were supposed to go look at it the other day so I could show it to her, but we never got the chance because someone else was making an offer for the house. I absolutely love the place, so I made an even higher offer. Amy was mad that I did that without her even seeing the place, but I know she's just gunna love it. It's perfect for us.

I've already moved all my stuff in. Jamie and Jason helped me pack up everything in my apartment. Then I hired a moving company to bring everything from my place to the new house. Right now the only furniture in the house is whatever was in my apartment. Amy and I have plans to go shopping for furniture tomorrow.

Amy's not bringing a whole lot to the house. She doesn't need to bring any furniture. She's just bringing all of her clothes, makeup, teddies, photos, souvenirs, and whatever other personal possessions she may have. I rented a van to move everything in. I didn't hire any guys to move stuff because all Amy has are boxes and suitcases. I can carry all of that.

I drive the van over to Amy's house. I park it on the driveway, and then get out of the vehicle. I walk up to the front door, and ring the doorbell. I wait outside for a few seconds, and then the door finally opens. Jerard is the one standing in front of me. He's expressionless as he looks at me, and just motions for me to walk in. Things are still tense between us. He definitely hasn't gotten over things.

"Where's Amy?," I ask.

"Upstairs," he mumbles as he starts to head to the kitchen.

I sigh. "Jerard, are you gunna hate me forever?"

"Maybe," he remarks, not turning around so I follow him to the kitchen.

"I know I hurt Amy. I hurt your daughter. I got her pregnant, and then I just left her. I know I did something awful. But I'm trying to fix my mistake. I still love her, and she still loves me. We're gunna be a family, and I would love for you to approve of that."

"I would've approved if you had never left her in the first place," Jerard tells me, finally turning around to look at me. "Now I have no faith in you to keep her happy. I don't trust you anymore. I have doubts about whether you're good enough for her."

"Just because I made one mistake, you think I'm not good enough for her anymore?," I question. "I know that the mistake I made was a huge one, but despite the pain I caused her, I still brought so much joy into her life before that. And I don't think my mistake erases everything else that I've done for her."

"You didn't see what she was like when she was in pain," Jerard remarks. "I don't think that you deserve another chance after that."

"You got another chance. After everything that you did to Amy and her mom in the past, Amy still gave you another chance. And I'm sorry for bringing that up, but you out of all people should know that everyone deserves a second chance if they've changed and they're making an effort. You changed. You made an effort to be a good dad. That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to be a good dad. I think I deserve another chance."

"She's just been through so much," he mumbles, tears forming in his eyes. "I don't want her to be hurt anymore. I just want her to be happy for the rest of her life. I thought that you would be the one to keep her happy forever, but then you hurt her. And it just made me think of how much I hurt Harper. I don't want Amy to go through that. I never want a man to hurt her."

"You thought that I would keep Amy happy forever, and that's what I intend to do. I chose the wrong path before, but I've corrected myself now. I'm still the man that you thought I was. I'm still good enough for your daughter. I will make sure her life is full of love and happiness. I'll give her the life that you would've love to have given Harper."
