(Y/N) P.O.V

My head turns towards the direction that the voice came from and the blood from my face drains. "What are you doing here, Daryl?" I ask with anger in my voice. Tom looks between Daryl and me, and quickly understands who he is, "August, why don't we go get ice cream?" Tom picks August up and carries him off to get some ice cream to give me some time with Daryl. "I wanted to see how you were doing. I miss you, you know. I am ready to be a father, so let's go see our son," Daryl says nervously. "Are you okay? Do you really think I would let you anywhere near my son after what you did to me? You cheated on me and completely broke my heart, all for a hundred dollars. As for being a father, you will never be the father of my child. You want to know who his father is. His father is eating ice cream with him right now. His father would do anything for him and would give his life to protect him. His real father truly does love and respect us. You are simply the sperm that helped create him. Now if you would excuse me, I am going to go have some ice cream with my family," I rant before storming off to find Tom and August.

I knew it wasn't the last I would see of Daryl because if he was the same person he was when we were dating, he always got what he wanted. That made me nervous. If he decides to take this to court, I don't know if I have the money for a lawyer and that scares me. I found Tom and August seating at a picnic table eating some ice cream. I sat across from the two of them and put on a fake smile to make them think everything is okay. "Who was that, mommy?" August asks me with ice cream all over his face. I give him a warm smile and wipe away the ice cream with a napkin, "Just an old friend, baby. How about daddy stays over tonight so we can have a movie night? You like that idea." August screams a yeah with a huge smile on his face. By now he had finished his ice cream and his attention was now on Tessa who was running around. He gets off the bench to go run after Tessa with a big smile on his face. "I would love to stay over tonight, but do you want to talk about what happened?" he questions. I shake my head. I go to sit on the same bench with him just so that I could cuddle into him. He nods his head gently knowing that I just need time to think, he gives me a kiss on the forehead to reassure me that everything was going to be okay.

Before we went into my apartment we took Tessa on a walk so she can do her business. August wanted to hold her leash so Tom carried August in order for him to hold the leash. When we went inside I made some dinner and the only one who talked was August. He talked about what movies he wants to watch tonight and what snacks he wants. Although August couldn't see the worry on my face, I know that Tom could see it and that he would ask me about it before bed. Like usual I made the snacks whilst August and Tom made a fort for us. We watched a few movies until August fell asleep. Tom went to go put him in his bed while I went to get changed into something to sleep in. When Tom came back he stripped until he was in his boxers and got into the left side of the bed. I sit at the edge of the bed looking at myself in the mirror. Before I knew what was going on I broke out into tears. Tom pulls me into his lap and wipes away my tear, "Oh, darlin'. Come here. I know you don't want to talk about it, but please tell me what's going on in your pretty head, love."

"I am scared. I am scared that he is going to take August away from him. He has money, Tom, if he takes this to court. I don't have the money for a lawyer and I don't want to ask anybody for money because they have already done enough for me. What if he takes away my baby from me then I have failed as a mother. I don't want to be a bad mother," I cry out. Tom rubs my lower back to comfort me then gives me a kiss on the forehead. He has to think before he spoke to make sure that he said the right thing. "Listen to me. I am not going to let that bastard take away August from us. I promised you that I would be here for you guys and I really am here for every step of the way. If that div takes this to court then I will get us the best lawyers around because I love you both so much and would do anything to be with you. I promise I will not let anything happen to you guys. Now just gets some sleep and try to relax. If he really wanted to be August's father he would have reached out to you a long time ago, so he is probably not going to take it to court. He is probably just visiting London and coincidentally saw you. He was probably just saying that stuff to get under your skin." I wipe away my tears and barrier my face into his neck, "You are right. I just need to relax and forget about it. He was just saying those things to get under my skin because he probably still hates me." Tom nods and goes to turn off the lights. He wraps his arms around me and lies us down. I cuddle into him and try to fall asleep, but sleep does not come.

I can't help but worry that Daryl will take this to court. That got me thinking, I know Daryl did something horrible to me, but if him seeing August would stop Daryl from taking this to court then maybe I should let him. If I did then it would mean fewer chances of August being taken away from me forever. August did have a right to know who his biological father was and I was scared that when he grows up he will hate me for not letting Daryl be in his life. I decided that I would think about all that if I ever had to face Daryl again because Tom could be right, Daryl could just be saying stuff. I put those thoughts aside and thought about how good Tom is to August and I. I think about how he really would do anything for us and that makes me smile. That helps me calm down and finally drift off into sleep.

Tom's P.O.V

I wake up because I feel small hands shaking me awake. I open my eyes to see that (Y/N) is still asleep in my arms. I smile and look over my shoulder to see August rubbing his eyes. "Can we make breakfast for mommy," he whispers. I love that he was such a mommy's boy and I really meant what I said last night. I would do anything to make sure that bastard has nothing to do with August's life. He already hurt (Y/N) once and I was not going to let him do it again. I nod my head and slowly get out of bed. I put on my sweatpants from yesterday. I take August hands and lead him to the kitchen. "What do you want for breakfast, buddy?" I inquire whilst setting him on the counter. "Pancakes and bacon, please," he answers me. I nod my head and get the stuff out to make breakfast for us.

We just finished plating the food and setting the table when we heard (Y/N)'s footsteps coming into the kitchen. "What's all this?" she asks with a look of surprise on her face. "August wanted to make breakfast for you, so we did," I explain. I wrap my arm around her waist and gently pull her into my chest. I give her a kiss on her forehead and I can feel her smile against my bare chest. "Can we eat now," August whines. (Y/N) and I laugh at how adorable he is and go to sit with him at the table. I never felt like I didn't belong with them and I love that. If anyone was watching they would not be able to tell that I am not August's biological father. All I want to do is protect them both from anything that will come our way.
