(Sequel to My Brother's Best Friend)
DISCLAIMER: YOU MUST READ THE FIRST BOOK FIRST
Three years ago Bethany Carrington got pregnant at the age of 16 by Blake Matthews, her brother's best friend. Towards the middle of her pregnancy she miscarried. Sh...
As soon as I wake up the smell of food cooking hits my nose. I put on my silk robe over my sports bra and spandex shorts. I walk to Emma's room and she's not in there. I check the time and it's almost twelve o'clock. I walk to the kitchen and the sight in front of me shocks me, but also makes me happy. Blake is holding Emma while he makes pancakes. I watch for a few moments before clearing my throat.
"Good morning" Blake smiles
"Good morning" I say "Why didn't you wake me up when Emma did?"
"I was already up and thought that you could use some sleep" He shrugs
"Well thank you" I say taking Emma
I walk her over to the potty and make her sit on it for a few minutes. I walk back to the kitchen and sit down at the island.
"You didn't have to" I state
"I wanted to" He blushes
"Have you slept at all?" I ask
"I got a few hours"
"So you read all of the letters?" I ask
"Not yet. I read most though" He says "Were you really going to end the pregnancy?"
"I was going on senior year and it was my second time being pregnant I was even more scared than before. I knew one wrong move and it could hurt me like it did with Liam. I'm glad I couldn't go through with it" I smile "She's pretty amazing"
"I want to be in her life" He says putting a plate of pancakes in front of me "I missed almost every important thing, I can't miss anymore"
"I'm not stopping you from doing that" I smile
Our eyes lock while we smile at each other. I break our gaze and go to Emma. I clean up her potty and carry her to Blake.
"Emma this is your daddy" I say
"Daddy?" She asks looking up at him
"Yes I'm your daddy" He smiles
She squeals and runs to him. He picks her up and they start playing around. Blake takes her to the living room while I go to my room to get dressed. I choose a black halter top with a black skirt that has daisies on it, and a cream cardigan.

I walk back out and start playing with the both of them. Around one or two Emma rubs her eyes and lays in Blake's arms. I put on paw patrol and eventually she falls asleep. I walk with Blake as he carries her to her room. He gently lays her down in her bed and kisses her forehead.
"You're good with her. Are you sure you don't have a kid yet?" I smirk
"I've had experience" He jokes
"Oh really how much experience?" I laugh
"A whole morning and afternoon" He laughs
I chuckle and look down. His fingers hook under my chin and makes me look up into his eyes. Our eyes lock for a few moments before his eyes flicker down to my lips for a split second. My breath hitches in my throat and he starts to lean in. I look down and he stops trying to lean in.
"The kitchen is a mess. I should go clean it up" I say before walking in the the direction of the kitchen
"I made the mess I'll help" He says following me
I turn the sink on and start washing dishes while he rinses and dries. He sneaks glances in my way and I try to act like I wasn't going to let him kiss me. All of the sudden I feel water on me, knocking me out of my thoughts. I chuckle and flick water back. We continue to flick each other with water for a few moments. Somehow, while we flicked water we started to get closer to each other.
Blake looks down into my eyes and backs me up against the sink. He traps me with his arms and leans in. He kisses my neck and I gasp. He smiles against my skin and works his way up. He looks into my eyes before kissing me. My arms instantly go around his neck and I kiss back. One of his hands cup my cheek. The sound of a phone ringing makes us pull apart. W
We both pant as Blake answers his phone.
"Where the hell are you?!" I hear a girl yell from the phone
"I'm on my way I'll explain later" He says before hanging up
"Olivia?" I ask
"Yeah" He sighs
"You should probably go. She's probably been worried about you" I say with my voice breaking
"Beth" He sighs
"It's fine. She's your fiance" I say "Um I'll let you watch Emma while I work to start off"
He nods and walks out of the door with the box.
Blake's POV
"Where the hell were you?" Olivia asks as soon as I walk through the door
"I was at Beth's apartment" I say
"Why? You were there all day and couldn't call and say you're alright? I thought you were lying in a ditch somewhere" She yells "Why were you even there?"
"I needed answers" I say "I got to know Emma and we talked. I stayed up almost all night reading letters and watching videos of Emma"
"You were there all night long?" She sighs as tears cloud her eyes
"Yes"
"And nothing happened?" She asks
I stay silent and a few tears leave her eyes.
"Please tell me nothing happened" She pleads
"We kissed" I say truthfully
"We're getting married Blake! We're engaged you can't just go around and kiss the girl you knocked up when you were eighteen" She yells "We should just pack and go home. Then everything will go back to normal"
"It's not going to go back to normal. Going back doesn't change the fact that I have a daughter that needs me. Going back doesn't change that I'm still in love with Bethany" I yell "I'm not leaving my daughter!"
"Fine!" Olivia shouts "Then I'll go"
She takes off the engagement ring and hands it to me with tears streaming down her face.
"One day she's going to hurt you, she already has many times. You're going to want to come back to me and it'll be too late. Choose me Blake" She cries
"She's hurt many times, yeah. Maybe something is wrong with me. But, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me" I say
She shakes her head and goes upstairs. I stay in the living room and several minutes later she appears in sight with her luggage in her hand.
"Can you call a cab to take me to the airport?" She asks
I nod and call. She says a faint thank you before sitting on the stairs. Maybe it's time for us to go our own way. A few minutes later a horn beeps from outside and she leaves silently.
