Brinley's POV

After dropping Elle off at Tom's, he's been helping me with Elle when I can't be with her. He's been a real good help, he reminds me of my dad so much.

I miss him so much..

I'm making my way to the diner while listening to 'The Night We met' by Lord Huron play through the radio, this song reminds me of three years ago. Hunter and I sitting in his car on the very last night we were together. That was such an amazing night.

When I reach the diner, i begin working straight away. Even though I own it now doesn't mean I'll stop working, i love working here.

While talking to Amy behind the counter as she swipes it down with a cloth I hear that familiar voice which makes my heart stop.

"Hey"

I didn't expect to see him, ever.

"Kai, What are you doing here?" I tense up, I feel awkward..really awkward.

"I'm on break and just wanted to say hey and maybe get a burger" he chuckles, His face looks much better than it did a few weeks ago.

"Ahhh" I have no idea what to say, "The usual?"

"Yeah, plain hamburger and fries" he half smiles and sits down on the stool.

"Okay" I put the order through and turn around slowly back to him.

"So, I should probably go clean" Amy says and walks off.

"I heard what happened to Hunter" he smugly smirks but immediately hides it with a serious face.

"By who?" I surely didn't say anything.

"Cops" he shrugs.

Seeing him smirk like that knowing he's happy about it pisses me off, I know he killed someone and..I have no idea why I'm defending him, I guess it's because he isn't here to defend himself.

"Anyway, how's Elle?" He smiles.

"Good" I bluntly say.

"I get why you're being blunt with me but just keep in mind that I haven't killed anyone"

"If this is what you came here to do, don't" i bark.

"It's not, I miss you and just wanted to see how you are"

"I'm great" I lie.

"Really?"

"No, I'm pregnant and I'm throwing up all over the place, my ex fiancé is in prison for murder and you're getting on my nerves being here!" I whisper shout.

"Ex fiancé..wait you're pregnant?" I see the sadness in his eyes.

I didn't even mean to say that, it just came out. I've only told a few people and now he knows..great one Brin.

"Yes" I nod slowly.

"With his child?.."

"Yeah" I bite on my bottom lip nervously.

"Is he trying to trap you!" He angrily says.

How can he be trying to trap me when we already have Elle.

"No" i scowl.

"Well he's always knocking you up and somehow I didn't once!" sounds as if he was trying to trap me.

"Always" i laugh "This is my second pregnancy not my tenth" I don't know how to respond to the later part.

"I hate him Brin"
