Veronica's POV

It had been almost a week since the bedroom incident , my head is still wrapping around the thought of Zach having a secret child,i mean can you blame me?

I have distanced myself from him, he keeps trying to apologize but i just ignore him as if he isn't just standing there with hundreds of freaking roses in his hands ,yep he is trying to make me forgive him and that is coming along oh so well.

***
I was reading "the taming of the shrew" when a light knock on the door startled me.

"Come in" i said.

The door opened and in came a five year old boy with a toothy smile, a smile also spread on my face as i saw james walk in with a colorful paper in his hands.

"James?" I asked not sure if it was him.

"Yes" he replied with the same smile.

"How did you come here?" I asked the most stupidest question to a five year old, of course his father brought him here.

"Daddy told me i was going to meet you and i was so happy" he excitedly jumped on the bed and handed me the paper.

Opening it, i saw a drawing of a man holding hands with a child and along with them stood a woman smiling at them, i then looked at the names and that is when i started crying , I didn't even know him that much and neither did he but he still showed so much love in just one picture.

Daddy Me Roni , it said on each person.

"Am i disturbing something?" Asked zach from the door.

"Daddy why is roni crying?" He asked almost sadly.

"I don't know champ" he replied looking at me with so many emotions.

"Do you not like my gift?"he asked worriedly.

"No, no i love it , it's just alot is going on right now but thank you james" i smiled while wiping my tears away.

"Daddy told me you are my new mommy, are you?" He asked.

My heart broke as i thought about how this five year old Hasn't seen his mother , my eyes met zach's and then i knew that all is forgiven.

"Yes, i am" i hugged him so tightly almost like he was my own.

I couldn't hate him, james i mean , he was a child that lost his mother and the thing about me is that i love kids,so i forgave zach at least in my heart i did.

****
James and i talked for so long that I hadn't realized when we slept, his head was on my cushion while my arms were wrapped around his little body.

Slowly and steadily I unwrapped myself from him and stood up, walking out the door i was met with a shirtless zach.

"Hey" he said.

"Hi" i replied.

The tension was thick that it could've been cut with a knife, i know i shouldn't forgive him for keeping james a secret from me but i can also not hate him for protecting his child.

"I wish you could've told me" i suddenly spoke looking straight at him,guilt clear in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, i just wanted to protect him" he replied not looking at me.

"I forgive you" i said shocking the both of us.

"What?" He asked blinking his eyes continuously.

"I'm not repeating it" i smiled as i said that.

I was about to move when he grabbed me by my wrist and pulled me towards him, my chest hitting his and our eyes locked on each others,it was like time had stopped and all my feelings came rushing back.

What I didn't expect was for him to kiss me, hungrily and possessively like i would fade away if his hold on me loosened even in the slightest way.

"I'm so fucking sorry" he murmured in between kisses.

I don't if it me or my body's reaction but i returned the kiss with the same force ,maybe i still like him or I don't know love in the matter of fact.

One thing i know for sure is that my feelings for him only grew stronger after everything that has happened and if i ever have a child with him then I won't have to worry about anything because he will love him or her just as much he loves james.
