Chapter 10
“So, what, you’re just going to let the woman of dreams slip through your fingers? You’re going to let your own son or daughter go, never see them grow up?”
“Papa. I made a promise to her, that I would leave if she wanted me to… and I… as much as I…” his voice cracks, and he can’t seem to get the rest of the words out. As much as he loves Emma and their unborn child, as much as he wants a future with them, he only wants what’s best for them. And if that means he can’t be a part of their lives, then he… well, he just has to live with that. “She wants to do what’s best for me and the baby.”
His father spins around, a mixture of anger and disappointment clouding his features as he places his hands on Killian’s shoulders. “And what is it you think is best for you and that baby, Killian? You think growing up without a father is best? You think giving up the woman you love is best?”
Killian’s throat closes up, his father’s words piercing right through him. “Well, no, Papa, but—”
“But nothing. What do I always tell you, huh?”
Killian gulps. “That a man unwilling to fight for what he wants, deserves what he gets.”
“That’s right, Killian,” his father says, his voice a little softer. “I didn’t raise no coward, son. I raised a man… two men.”
