Capitolo Diciotto - Godfather

-Sky's POV-

As the name kept making rounds in my heads I felt everything turn cold letting his name sink in my mind. 

"Rivers? Babe-"

Before I could ask any question the stranger in our house finally talked letting the sound of his voice make echos playing his last words over and over in my mind. 

"I'm your dad-"

Getting up as fast as I can my thoughts were everywhere trying to acknowledge someone as a father figure when that one aspect in my life was nonexistent the past twenty three years of my life. 

Before I could get myself out of here I felt Adriano's hand wrap around mine making sure I wouldn't go anywhere or even try to get myself out of this situation. 

"No! Stop, don't you dare finish that word, that one word I was desperately trying to search for my entire life, you don't get to waltz into my life like that when you knew I needed you in my life. So the one thing I never got to ask you, I'm finally asking you."

Steadying myself from his grip and this man's stares I took a deep breath in and out not letting myself break down. 

"Get out of my house-!"

"Sky darling listen to me please?"

Staring at this man in utter disbelief I let go of Adriano's grip to try to get out of here.

Grabbing my purse from the coffee table I went outside to my car to calm my nerves down, getting inside I started the car and reversed into the driveway.

Seeing the beautiful pink sky and the palm trees swaying to the wind of this city and cradling my bump was all I needed to get myself back to normal. I wasn't about to risk the health of my babies just because of some old man that has no connection to me other than the same last name. 

Even though our names may call us family, we're not, it's the people who you feel a connection with and you're willing to love. 

Leaning back into the leather seat of the car I somehow made my way to the beach letting the salty air and the sound of the waves crashing calm my racing heart down. 

This man didn't even make an effort to even meet me in the past twenty three years of my life and now when your boyfriend wants you to meet him you're just supposed to act like everything's okay, when it's fucking not. 

I mean his family is nothing near perfect but did I ever tell him that I didn't feel included? It was perfect, I have the two best friends that are almost like my siblings and the best boyfriend I could ever ask for. 

He's definitely not ideal, I mean a mafia leader, someone who can't control their temper, and who is super scary looking, yeah not the best choice. But he's the most sweetest person ever but not today, I mean who fucking brings someone they never met before and call them their dad out of nowhere. 

If he's talking about grandparents, his parents are more than fine it's just I don't get along with his mother and that's an issue between me and her, it has nothing to do with my unborn children. 

But I have never met this stranger and he makes a statement that he's my dad and possibly wants to be in my life after being nonexistent my entire fucking life, yeah no. 

Switching off my phone I reclined the car seat back to take a small little nap before I have to go back home, since we need the energy to deal with a stranger in your house, very swollen feet, and my boyfriend, Adriano.

. . .

Fluttering my eyes open to a very odd pain in my stomach, completely forgetting where I was, I started to panic when I realized it was just my car and I at the beach.
