The Secret She Kept​

Nova

When I woke up I tried to move but couldn't.  I looked down and saw Novah and Melodie laying on me one on each side. I smiled. I was happy that had not one but two Beautiful People laying on me. I always dreamt about Melodie and I but Novah is a perfect fit my little family. I hope.

I slowly moved Novah to the side and managed to get off Melodie's grip. I placed Novah by Melodie and went to the bathroom. As I was in there I was thinking about how I was going to tell my mom and pops about Novah. I know the first thing I'm going to hear is my mom loud mouth who the trick. Why she ain't tell you from jump street. Is the baby even yours. I hope she doesn't go to hard on Melodie because she's a good girl there's a reason why she didn't tell me and I get to that when she woke up.

I was knocked out of my thoughts when I heard a light tap on the door and my name being called. It was Melodie. I opened the door and she was standing half awoke she looked up at me and smiled. I asked her what's wrong. She said she had to pee and that she had to go into work and was wondering if Novah could stay here and she'll be by to get her when she gets off. I told that it's fine and let her go to the bathroom. While she was in there I decided to wake Novah up and play with her. I kissed her cheeks as she stirred in her sleep. I kept kissing her tell she woke up. I sat her up and said hey daddy's princess. She looked at me and smiled. I looked her and said my goodness you look your mother. I guess Melodie came out the bathroom when I was waking her and she spoke up and said well I did carry her for seven and half months. I looked at her funny. She looked at and said yeah I know I'm supposed to carry her for nine but she wanted to come out early. But if you believe me DNA is still an option. I don't want you to feel obligated to care for and your having mixed feelings. I want you to be a hundred percent sure about this she said looking me straight in the eyes. I looked at her and said if I wasn't a hundred percent sure I would have asked you for one. I trust you Melodie. Don't think I didn't know you were a virgin when did what we did. She looked at me in disbelief. I signed and and grabbed her hand. I told her to look at me. She did. I said look Mel it's okay that you were one and I respected you for that. I also respect you for letting me come into our daughters life like you did after all that time I wasn't around. She looked at me with tears in her eyes. I told not to cry and pulled her in for a hug. She looked at me and then down at her phone. She told me that she had to get to work and she had three bags of pumped milk in the fridge that she brought over. And that they should last until she gets off. I nodded my head. She gave Novah a kiss on the forehead and told her she loved her. She me a side hug cause I had the baby and a kiss on the cheek and thanked me. I told her you don't have to thank me for being a father.  She smiled and walked out of the room. She turned around and said if you need me for anything just text or call. I nodded my head and she left.
