Sweet Mistake

Chapter 3

♤Ellie's POV♤

"Sissy, I miss you so much," I exclaimed as I embraced Gabriela tightly.

"I miss you too Elizabeth," she chuckled.

After we arrived in Baltimore, Adrian drives us straight to sissy's house. It was a two-storey house with a beautiful front garden and fountain. Adrian left right away because he needs to attend a business meeting together with his brother Breece or Timothy as sissy called him. Why do people name their children with multiple names?

My mind was thinking nonsense things again. Whatever the answer is, I'm happy that I can be alone with my best friend.

"You must be Elian?" sissy asked. I forgot that Elian was on my side hugging my leg as I hugged Gabriela.

I let go of Gabriela and lifted Elian as I carried him in my arms."I'm sorry baby. Mama was so carried away because I miss your Aunt Gabriela so much. Say hello to your Aunt."

"Hello, Aunt Gabriela. My name is Elian. It is my pleasure to meet you," Elian replied. My baby was so adorable that it made me kiss his cheek.

Gabriela chuckled, "It's nice to meet you too Elian."

Elian gave Gabriela a toothy grin and embraced me.

"Elian, I prepared toys for you. Do you want to play it now?" Sissy asked. Elian jumped with excitement and the maid led him where the toys are.

Gabriela was eyeing me suspiciously. Her brows furrowed and her eyes were questioning.

"Do you want to go to my room, Ellie? I want to show you the dress that you will be wearing," she suggested. I have a feeling not it's not about the dress.

I smiled and followed sissy inside her room. She was silent the whole time as if pondering about something. When we arrived at her room, her face turns into serious mode.

"Tell me the truth Ellie," she demanded while crossing her arms.

I smiled and open her wardrobe, "Which dress will I be wearing?" I changed the subject.

"Ellie! Be serious," she uttered irritatedly holding my shoulders and forcing me to look at her. I avoid Gabriela's eye contact and looked down. I know what will she going to say. I expected it from her in the first place. Gabriela is quick-witted after all.

"Who is Elian's father?" Gabriela finally asked the question that I have been avoiding for so long. I can't lie with my best friend forever

I looked sissy into her eyes and told her the truth, "It's Liam Sullivan."

"I knew it!" she replied with a conflicted look and walked back and forth while crossing her arms.

"I'm sorry sissy. I want to tell you but I don't want to add in your burden," I said sullenly.

She was breathing in and out trying to calm herself. I felt guilty and I can't look at her.

Gabriela suddenly stop walking, "It must be hard for you to keep it to yourself. I feel hurt not because you didn't tell me. I feel hurt because I was not with you when you needed me. Remember, you are my sister. Not in blood, but soul. We promise that we will be in each other no matter what."

Gabriela embraced me and for the first time in three years, I cried. I didn't even cry when I discovered that I was pregnant. Well, Gabriela always makes me cry.

"Don't worry Elizabeth. If you don't want Liam to know about Elian, I will respect your decision. I will be here to support you and Elian," she hushed me and stroked my back.
