Not My Sister's Fiance Book 2

16.

Ethan POV

I watch the liquor swirl around in the glass ice cubes hitting each other and the glass making a clinking sound. I take a sip and repeat the motion deep in thought.

She looks just like me with her mother's hair and eyes but the rest is me. I knew she was my kid the first time I say her but I had to be sure. I don't know what I would have done if she wasn't.

How would I feel?

I can't wait to spend time with her to make up for last time. To get to know my daughter and she to know me.

To do all my fatherly duties. I've always wanted children to feel how it feels for someone to call me Dad, Daddy or father.

I should have been there when she was born, for her first step, the first time she spoke, all her first times I should have been there. Those are the most important first.

I can't help but feel angry at Crystal for hiding my daughter from me for 5 whole years. She's the reason I missed those first in her life

I'll be there to scare of the boys, to see her go to high school and college. To be there for her when she needs me the most.

Christmas can't come fast enough for me to finally get my wish and have the greatest gift. It's really hard for me to refrain myself from driving over to the Scott's house and shout to the whole house that Chrissann is my daughter. I can't wait to tell my daughter that I'm her father. I can't wait to hear those syllabus come out of her mouth.

I don't know what comes after that but I know I won't allow anything to come between me and her...not even her mother.

I knew we were going through a tuff time with me marrying to her sister but she had no right to run away with my unborn child.

The fact that the Scotts hide this from me is even more treacherous. All this time they knew and didn't tell me. If they did I would probably hunt her down because that child could have possible be mine.

I'm angry at everyone in that family especially her father but I can't blame him he was respecting his daughter wish to keep it a secret.

Because from what she tells me she and her dad are really close so she would have told him that that baby is mine or she was pregnant when she was leaving.

If he did break his promise to keep it to himself I would have done better investigating. That day I ran into the airport and I didn't see her or stop that plane from taking into the air, I had called up a friend of mine immediately to track her down when she got off of that plane and out of the airport.

But he came back with nothing like she disappeared off of the face of the Earth. She never got on that plane, no one saw her so she just disappeared.

I still couldn't track her down after that like she didn't wanted to be found. I have up after a year of searching and searching with nothing.

How the hell did Crystal Scott could not be found remained a mystery to me. She was good at hiding and good at not being found.

"Ethan." Someone was saying my name and when that didn't get there attention they snapped their finger in front of me. "I've been calling you for a while now."

I run my hands down my face tiredly. I didn't even realize I've zoned out that much. "I'm sorry I just got alot on my mind."

"Are you okay?" The voice was filled with concern and worry.

I pulled her on to my lap putting down the empty glass that I had in my hand on the table. "Yeah don't worry it's just been stressful at work lately." I said half telling the truth since it has been but not that much as seeing Crystal again adding the fact that I have a child that she hid from me for five years.

"You're doing it again." She said.

"Sorry what were you saying?" I smiled at her apologetically.

"I was saying that we've been dating for a good time and think it's time you meet my parents." She suggested hesitantly waiting for my reaction. I had once offered this but she rejected it saying that it's too soon but now she's the one with the idea.

I wonder what made her change her mind since it was just last week I have her the idea. I know men are not the one always bringing up the idea that they should meet their spouses parents but I had seeing I had nothing to worry about knowing that her parents would prove of me.

Why would they not? I'm the whole package that they could ever look for in a son in law.

"I thought it was too early in our relationship to meet you parents." I said voicing my thoughts on the subject.

Yeah we haven't been dating for long 8 months. That's long for me but short for her since she had informed me that she had been in a relationship and thought he was the one until he just upped one day and left.

I can't really remember how long I've been on a relationship but I knew none was long and serious as I always mess them up. Thinking about relationships reminded me of the one I had with Crystal in high school and then the one five years ago so far none of my relationship lasted.

"I know but Christmas is around the corner and I don't want to be separated from you." She reasons and I hummed.

"I always spend Christmas with my family and you know that." I explained to her. I could have spend it with her parents this Christmas knowing my parents won't have a problem since they wanted me to find a girl and give them grandkids soon. But with my daughter in the picture who is going to be here for the Christmas I don't think I would be able to say yes to this now.

I know she might sound clingy but she's not. My Christmas before had been lonely. I had my family and stuff but that didn't make me feel alone in a room filled with old and young lovers. I couldn't help but feel jealous when I see couples, I was bitter for a while some could say I kinda lost myself and I did.

Crystal left me in a mess and not knowing where she was didn't help. What if she got hurt? What if she went missing?

Those thoughts was ridiculous but I couldn't help but think them. Took some time for me to calm down and when I did I wasn't the same again since I was distant missing something I could never find.

"I know that's why I'm asking since you always spend it with your family I thought you could spend at least one Christmas with mine so they can get to know." She tried to convince me. I really wanted to but my daughter I am going to meet her and get to know her and be introduced as her father I can't give up that opportunity that I've been denied for 5 years.

I thought about what she said for a minute before answering her. "I'll think about it." That's the only good enough answer I could give to her at the moment.

"Okay." She sounds disappointed with her shoulders slump and her head down.

Pushing her chin up to make her look me in the eyes. "Maybe Christmas dinner." I promised with a smile causing her eyes to light up in happiness. She kissed me and I kiss her back.

A/N so tell me how was it. I really want to know. What do you think of ethan now?
