'' How far are you?''

Tor asked her as they sat in her living room with the twins asleep in their respective beds. He had followed her home after their son was discharged.

'' Twenty four weeks tomorrow.''

'' Why didn't you tell me?''

'' It doesn't concern you. Like I said this baby is not yours."

'' Don't give me that. I know for a fact that that baby is mine so stop trying to deny it."

" You know I've been seeing someone."

" Yeah but your bump is older than your relationship."

Amara remained silent.

'' I know I did you and my kids wrong but I deserve to be in all their lives.-''

'' You don't deserve shit. My son was in hospital because of you and your wife. Stop worrying about me and my unborn child. Worry about your wife!''

'' It was an ACCIDENT! This could happen to anyone! I'm sorry but  Akilah would not deliberately hurt the twins.''

" It didn't happen with me who has the kids the most, who has had them for three years with no such incidents  and it did not happen with you. As soon as you leave them with her, this happens and you call it an accident?!"

'' Babe I understand how-''

'' You don't understand shit! Just get out, leave!"

" Amara-"

" While the social worker waits to interview your wife, you are to come here to see my kids.''

'' Amara come on, you are being unreasonable.''

'' No I'm being safe and if I were you I would take what happened today seriously if you want to keep having them over.''

Tor sighed, he did not agree with her but he was not going to fight her since she was stressed and pregnant. Which he still was in his feelings about since she did not let him know sooner. She could deny it all she wants but he knew the child was his.

'' I don't want to stress you while carrying my child but I need to know when your next visit is?''

'' Tor this child is not yours, stop. Go home to your wife before she finds another reason to hate me.''

'' I want to see my baby too. I want to know how they are doing too and I want to know how you're doing. I deserve to be in their lives.''

'' Fine. When they're born, you can do all that, at this moment your presence does nothing but irk me out and I don't need added stress on me. This past months have been hard and I just don't want to deal with you and your wife, ever.''

'' I know you hate me but don't let our child suffer. They need the care I gave to the twins before birth just as much as you need it. You know I'm not intentionally trying to hurt you, I love you and my kids-''

'' You sure have a funny way of showing us that love. I truly don't want to have this conversation with you, hence I never told you and I also did not want to be attacked your wife again.''

'' Listen, I understand and I know but I promise to keep this between us. No one has to know till he or she is born.''

She stood silently for a minute contemplating on her decision. She would love the support.
