Secret Mistake 3

3.

GIA POV

I felt bad for Salem not wanting to leave Harlow alone so she rather let her dad suffer. I mean I don't mind that Delano's suffers but still. Salem we are going to drop you at daddy's house Okay.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because he wants to see you" I said.

"Do I have to?" She whined.

"Yes" I said.

"Can Harlow come too?! She needs to see daddy too!" She said.

"No Harlow stays with me. While you go and see daddy" I said. She huffed and went to get dressed. Or try and get dressed. Harlow looked at me "I know, soon you'll meet daddy. I promise".

On the way there I texted Delano I was bringing Salem over since he was dying to see her. He was excited and said he would be outside. Great. But thank god for tinted windows in the back. When I pulled up Salem smiled "daddy!". He opened the door and helped her out. I saw him glance at the reverse car seat. "Can I help you?" I asked. He looked at me "nope come on Salem". She hopped out and walked with Delano inside.

I sped off. I didn't want to be there any longer. Hate that house. It just brings me bad memories.

DELANO POV

My princess was finally here. "Salem I missed you!" I hugged her. She giggled "miss you too daddy". The happiness I felt knowing my baby girl was here with me and the boys. "Hungry?" I asked. She nodded. So I walked her into the kitchen. And she sat at the table on her booster seat. "I made your favorite! Pasta!". She smiled "yummy".

Sitting there watching her devour the plate of food. "Salem how come you didn't want to come with daddy?".

"Because I feel bad that Harlow is alone" she said.

"Harlow? Who's that?" I asked.

"Baby sister" she said. Confusion wasn't even the word for me. Maybe Salem was talking about a invisible friend or something. "Baby sister you silly girl. You don't have a baby sister!".

She nodded "I do too. Her name is Harlow. She's cute".

"Salem... come on now. You and I both know you don't have a sister" I said.

"But I do. Ask mommy!" She said. Gia and I only been separated for a full year. There's no way she was with someone and had a baby. No way. Something isn't right. "Tell me about Harlow".

"She's pretty. And she's a baby. But she can hold her own bottle. She's my best friend. We share a room!" She said. I'm not sure if I should be upset or maybe I should ask gia about it. "How old is Harlow?".

"Umm..." she put up ten fingers. "Ten months?". She nodded "yeah". Hold up? If this Harlow is ten months that makes that Gia was pregnant when we separated which means Harlow is our daughter. "Daddy are you okay?".

"Yeah yeah I'm fine. Just wow Harlow Huh?" I said.

"You have to meet her" Salem said. I smiled at Salem while she finished eating. Once she was done I took her plate and washed it. Helping her into her bed time clothes. "Daddy I love you!" She said.

"I love you too princess!" I kissed her forehead and tucked her in. Closing her door not all the way. The boys were still up. "Hey can I talk to you both?" I asked.

They paused the video game and looked at me "What's up dad?" Ryan asked. "Your sister had a mouth full to tell me. Who's Harlow?". Kai wide eyed Ryan and looked at me "Umm Harlow is our baby sister".

"Sister? As in... Ryan, Kai, Salem and Harlow?" I asked. They both looked at each other and nodded. I can't believe gia hid this from me. I'm a great father to our children and she knows that. So there's no reason to hide a baby from me!.

"Is that why she won't allow me in the house?" I asked.

"Pretty much" Ryan said.

I nodded "thanks". Hearing the video game going again. I was furious. Harlow. I don't know anything about my own daughter but her name. How long was gia going to keep this from me?. The baby is almost one and she hasn't brought it up to me. I wanted to text her and ask but I know she won't answer me about it. And I didn't want Salem to get into any trouble for running her mouth. This calls for a accidental seeing Harlow for myself. Almost happened when I took Salem out the car. Explains the attitude Gia gave me. And she wanted a divorce? Over my dead body she's getting one.

The next morning the boys were outside playing and Salem was inside helping me just do things around the house. "Daddy when Harlow comes here where will she sleep?".

"I don't know Salem. But don't worry daddy will figure it out. Daddy has enough room here to make room for Harlow. "Yay" she said. She stopped mentioning Harlow and started playing with the toy set I got her.

Gia, gia, gia... I sighed
