It's been three weeks since Carter's wedding and still nothing I guess I saw this coming. I just want him to be happy and if that means without Charlotte and me then I understand. I am still happy that I told him and that he knows now as well. Charlotte's voice brings me back to reality.
"Mommy, are you okay," Charlotte asks me as we are about to bed. Sometimes I let Charlotte sleep in my bed with me. She likes to call it our own little sleepover I think it's cute.
"Yes, sweetie I just have a lot on my mind," I ask her smiling as we cuddle up.
"Is it about your old friend at the wedding," she asks me.
"Yes, baby but I promise I'm okay, now let's go to sleep now," I tell her smiling. Every night I remind Charlotte that her dad loves her even if he's not here with us. I just want to make sure she knows so she doesn't ever doubt it. She started asking about him this year, she came home one day from school, apparently, the school was having a daddy-daughter dance and she was wondering if her dad could come with her. It was a very hard talk to have with her but I knew it was coming, it was one of the reasons I wanted to tell Carter.
"Now I want you to remember daddy loves you no matter what," I tell her kissing her head.
"I know I just wished daddy loved you too," she says closing her for sleep.
"Um me too sweetie me too," I say in shock.
"I love you, mommy,"
"I love you too Charlotte," I say tucking the blankets around her.
"Go to sleep darling," I coo her to sleep.
And soon after she falls asleep next to me, I fall asleep with her.

It's been three weeks since I found out that Charlotte's my daughter and it's been hell, I couldn't just leave my honeymoon or Rebecca would think something was up and after I found out what she did I just couldn't look at her the same. Why would she do this to me? I thought we respect each other and cared about each other as well. But I guess I was wrong which is really confusing since I just married her, her being someone who betrayed me. But we are going home today.
"I wished we live there it was so beautiful," Rebecca says looking at me from her seat on the plane.
"Yes it was, but we have to get back you know that," I tell her.
She frowns "I know, are you okay, honey," she asks me trying to read me to find out what's wrong.
"Yes, I'm okay," I tell her quietly.
"Okay, you have just been distant so I was just checking," she says yawning.
"I know I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you I have to go on a business trip when we get back I don't know how long it will be for yet but I will let you know," I explain to her.
"Oh okay, thank you for letting me know, I will miss you," she says hugging my arm closer to her.
"You're welcome, now get some sleep you seem tired," I tell her.
"Okay, husband," she says before drifting off into sleep.
A couple of hours later we are back at our house and I immediately pack my bags for my business trip.
"Rebecca, I have to leave now," I yell to call her down to say bye.
"Aw honey, I'm going to miss you so much," she says to me smiling and hugging me tightly.
"I'm going to miss you too," I say as I lightly kiss her cheek.
"Bye I will see you soon," I say to her.
"Bye, honey," she says before kissing me on the lips. I lightly kiss her back, trying to seem normal but right now my mind is spinning.
Once I'm outside I put my bags into the backseat of my car and get into the driver's seat and head to the airport.
Here goes nothing right?

"Charlotte, breakfast is ready," I yell to her from the other room.
"Coming, mommy," she yells back running into the room and sitting down at the table.
"How did you sleep," I ask her making her plate and giving it to her.
"Good I dreamed about me being a princess and a nice prince came and saved me," she explains as she starts eating.
"OoO interesting," I answer her.
"Well I thought today we could go out and do something fun," I tell her to eat as well.
Today is my day off from work so I want to spend it with my beautiful daughter.
"Can I wear a dress, today mommy," she asks me.
"Yes just wear some shorts under them," I tell her.
She smiles really big, gets up, and runs to her room. I try to tell her to finish eating but she says she has to have her dress on first. I laugh as I get up and go to my room to get ready I change into a pink sundress. Charlotte runs into my room wearing a beautiful light yellow sundress.
"Mommy look, we are both wearing dresses today, you look pretty," she says to me sitting back down and finishing her breakfast.
"Yes, we are, and thank you sweetie you look beautiful too," I say back to her.
And just then I hear a knock at the door.
"Mommy, who is that," Charlotte asks me.
"I don't know stay here, don't move I mean it," I tell her before walking out of the room to answer the door.
Who is at the door at 10:00 a.m.?
I open the door slowly in case it's someone I don't know.
"Emma," he says his voice husky.
I would know that voice anywhere.
It's Carter.
"I loved you even when you forgot me. And—for a little while—you loved me back."
