Elizabeth's POV
"How old is she now?" He asked me while he was holding Gabi. "4 years and 3 months old" I said. "I can't believe I have been living my life all these years without knowing that I had a child" he shook is head. "Are you okay Camwen?" Gabi asked a little worried. I looked up at her with a sweet smile. "At least I have a adorable and sweet daughter.." he said while Gabi gave him a confused look. "Gabriella do you know who he is?" I asked her while she stared at Cameron. "He's Camwen!" She said happily. "I'm your father.." he said to her. "You are?" She said and looked at me with wide eyes. I nodded while she started crying. "Ooh cutie, please don't cry" Cam smiled. "Your my daddy?" She sniffed while he nodded slowly and kissed her forehead. "What if we go to your hotel and catch up on some things? I think you have to tell me a lot of things." Cameron said calmly. I took a deep breath and nodded. "Let's call an uber" he said while we started walking.
*40 minutes*
We entered the hotel room while Cameron was carrying Gabi in his arms who was asleep. He layed her on my bed and put the sheets around her body. "She looks like an angel when she's sleeping" he said while I stood in the door opening looking at them. "Come on" he placed his hand on my back while we went to the couch and sat down. "Explain.." he said to me. "What?" I asked him confused. "Well what about that I have a daughter that I didn't know about." He said seriously. "Elizabeth why did you never told me that you were pregnant? I could of been there for you" he said upset. "I didn't want to ruin your life." I said and looked down. "Where are you talking about, ruining my life?! Elizabeth I have a daughter for over 4 years and I never knew that. How do you think that I feel right now?" He said a little more louder. "You were living your dream in New York Cameron. I loved you so much, I didn't want to ruin that dream just because I was pregnant.." I said. "Just because you were pregnant? Liz that's a pretty big deal!" He said and raised his voice a little more. "Can we please keep the volume down before Gabriella wakes up?" I asked him while he nodded. "I don't want to be mad at you Elizabeth, I am proud of you that you took care of her by yourself. But it just hurts my that all this time I had a daughter, and I never knew." He said.
I could see the pain in his eyes. "I never wanted this to happen. I wish that I told you. But I didn't want to take away your happiness. Cameron having a child is a lot to handle. I experienced that, taking care of Gabi took away most of my time. I just wanted you to be happy. I felt that it was my own fault." I started to get emotional. "It's not your fault that we had unprotected sex the last time. We both forgot about it, because we were so emotional and to much into the moment. Promise me one thing.." he said and placed his hand on mine. "Don't ever keep something that important a secret from me, Elizabeth I have always been there for you through thick and thin. I will be here for you and Gabriella, I am not going to leave you." He said while I looked up at him. I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder. We started talking for like 2 hours, about our life's the past 4 years. Cameron told me a lot about his life in New York and also about his last girlfriend Piper that sadly past away a few weeks ago. He talked so passionate about her, he truly loved that girl.
I told him about Brandon and a lot about Gabriella and her personality. She really reminds me a lot of Cameron. She is goofy and playful just like Cameron. "What is her full name by the way?" He asked me while I layed in his arms with a blanket around our bodies. "Gabriella Alexandra Bennett" I said while he smiled. "How did you came up with that name?" He winked playfully. "I knew you always loved the name Gabriella. Your middle name is Alexander, so that inspired me to give her the middle name Alexandra." I said while he stared at me with a smile. "Your the inspiration of her name" I said and layed on his chest. "I honestly love that you did that." He said. "I always wanted her to carry a part of you with her. Even though I thought she would never see you, she will always be a part of you." I smiled. "That's sweet" he said and kissed my cheek. "Liz I still don't understand why you stayed in a relationship of 2 years with someone who treated you horribly. I have known you for so long, and you deserve so much better then that Brandon guy.
You should know that you are worth so much more. You are someone who needs someone to make you feel loved and who will make you smile when you feel down. When we used to date I always wanted to make you smile. You have a stunning smile that I love to see. I don't get why that dude treated you like that. Your such a kindhearted human being. He doesn't deserve your time at all." Cameron said which made me blush a little. "Thank you Cameron, that's really nice." I smiled. "When are you going back to California?" He asked me while he stared at our fingers that were now intertwined. "Tomorrow at 8 pm" I said. "I am going with you." He said while I gave him a confused look. "I am going to visit some friends, my mom and sister. But I also want to spend more time with you and Gabriella. Can I take you out tomorrow night?" He asked me making me blush again. "I would love that" I smiled. "CAMWEN" we heard Gabi yell from the bedroom. "I think she woke up" Cameron laughed. "I will get her" he said and stood up. He gently picked her up and returned to the living room where I was still laying on the comfy couch. "I can't sleep" she said and sat on Cameron's lap. Cameron played with her for 40 minutes. He would tickle her, throw her in the air, run with her around the room, telling her stories and laughing with her. Seeing them this happy makes my heart melt. After a long time of playing both of them got tired. Cameron was curled up in a ball on the couch with Gabi sleeping in his arms. Both of them I am not gonna lie, I missed him..
