Secret Mistake

87.

DELANO POV

My sister was coming to visit. I haven't seen her in a year. Now since she had a fiancé she's been very busy planning her wedding. As a brother I had to make sure to check out the dude before he popped the question.

"Ryan come here" I yelled. He came running down the stairs "yes?".

"Auntie is coming to see you" I said. Ryan smiled "emmalee?". I nodded "of course she will be here any minute" that's when I heard the knock on the door. Ryan flew down the rest of the stairs and to the door. He swung open the door "emmalee!". She smiled and hugged him "Ryan I missed you!".

"Did you bring me presents?" He asked.

"Don't ask her how she's doing, Ryan" I sarcastically said.

"Dad..." he whined.

"Of course I brought you something. Here" she handed me a gift wrapped box. Ryan races upstairs with the box in hand. I shook my head "and he's only four".

"That's your son. How is everything? Wait? Where's gia?" She asked.

"Umm we are taking a short break. So she's living across town and I can see Ryan whenever I want".

"You both are always splitting up and getting back together. That can't be healthy for Ryan". She has a point.

"True, but we just got into a nasty fight and words were said and now she's across town pregnant".

"Pregnant?! You let her move out of here pregnant?!" Emmalee seemed surprised.

"Well... when she left she was in the beginning of the pregnancy. I didn't want to stress her out anymore than she was already".

"Right... wow I can't believe you let her leave. And she's pregnant again. It's like Deja vu when she was pregnant with Ryan".

"Not necessarily true. At least with Ryan I had more control of her but now she's more thinking for herself which is making this break a little harder. Then she has this new friend Noah who is trying his hardest to be with her".

"You know what. Let's think about this. Gia isn't like most women. She doesn't have a body count of men she's slept with. Cause well you are the only person she technically slept with. So now a different male attention is around she might be curious".

"I like the fact I'm the only person who's been with her. Don't want her to be tainted by someone else".

"So tell me was the pregnancy planned... or it just so happened?" She asked.

"We wasn't cautious... so it just happened" I said.

"Oh okay, cause since you trapped her before I wanted to make sure" she said.

"Trapped who? Ryan was an accident" she raised her brow "was he? I mean I was a little young myself to really think about it. But now I'm older... you trapped her".

"Emmalee you sound ridiculous". She was completely wrong. I never intended for Gia to get pregnant. Granted we were both saucy that night but having a baby was the last thing on my mind.

"Whatever you say" she said.

That night Emmalee and Ryan was just having fun upstairs. I heard them screaming and laughing which made me happy. I wanted Ryan distracted from what's really going on. And his on going questions about Gia and I getting back together.

Going outside to the backyard and just watching the sky change colors. Emmalee came out and joined me "What are you doing out here?".

"Nothing really, how Ryan?" I asked.

"I think I tired him out. Cause we were playing hide and seek and I found him out cold under his bed. So I just put him in his bed" she laughed.

"That little boy is crazy... just like his mother" I said.

"You miss her, don't you?" She asked.

"Of course... I mean which relationship doesn't have issues?. But you get through them and move on. I apologized to gia numerous times for what I said to her but she doesn't want to come home".

"Gia has always been a wild one. So trying to tame her as long as you did was talent. But just give her time and she'll come back. You guys are meant for each other. I see the way you look at her... that's love".

"My little sister is giving me relationship advice... I didn't see this day coming" I joked.

Pulling out my phone and just checking social media. Breeze through Facebook... and then I went on instagram. Scrolling down nothing that caught my eye. But I decided to Insta-stalk Noah. Once I got to his page I saw he posted something an hour ago. Clicking on the picture so I can see it.

When I saw the most beautiful woman walk into the room and realizing she's my date... 😍😍

Blinking a couple times because I was hoping he wasn't talking about Gia. But something in my gut said he is. Turning to Emmalee "how long are you in town for?".

"A week... why?" She asked.

"Because I'm about lose my mind. And I need you to watch Ryan so I can save my relationship" I said. She smiled "of course I would". Sighing I shut my phone off and just thinking of a plan to get gia alone so we can get everything out on the table. No more hidden feelings or bad communications. Everything and I mean everything will be out on the table.
