BENNY WATTS IMAGINES- The Queen's Gambit

I'm just a distraction-part 3

6 years later:

Your POV:

"Y/n, baby? Can you please come downstairs."your husband Stefan called you. You quickly put away the chess magazine on your room's table and went downstairs where you saw your husband feeding your four year old daughter, Clara, while she played chess with her teddy bear. "Baby, my colleague just called me and I'm gonna have to go handle some matters real quick, I'll be back before you know."he said hurriedly and kissed your forehead. "Alright, I'll take care of her, be safe."you smiled and hugged him before he left. "Mommy? Let's do what we do when daddy isn't home."your little baby chuckled and you put your hands on your hips. "My clever princess, come on let's get you dressed and then we'll leave."you giggled and lifted her up in your arms.

You took her upstairs and to her room where you got her changed into a nice pink dress with floral patterns and then you asked her to wait for you downstairs. You quickly went in yours and Stefan's shared room, picked out your outfit and put on some light makeup. You picked up the magazine that you left on the table and put it back in the box with all the other chess magazines that you collected every three months. Stefan knew that Benny was your first love and you were proud of him for being the world chess champion from the last three years. He really didn't mind you having all those magazines with pictures of Benny all over them.

Your POV:

You took your daughter to the park in LA and then you even got her some ice cream. She loved going to the park with you. "Baby, let's go to the store and get me some medicine for my cramps."you pouted and made a cute face. "Okay mommy, let's go." Clara jumped excitedly. You kept walking down a few blocks and then went inside the store where you usually found the chess magazines. You took the pills for your period cramps and went to the little shelf which held all the latest magazines.

You picked up the chess one and found a new picture of him on it. You smiled internally. He looked just the way he did when you last met him ,six years ago. "Mommy, show me too, I need to see uncle Benny too. I wanna play chess like him." Clara clutched your knees and looked up at you. You crouched beside her and gave a light kiss on her forehead. "I wish you become an excellent chess player. Come on , let's pay for all these things."you took the magazine and the pills and stood straight, holding your daughter's arm.

"I can teach her ,love." you heard a voice which was too familiar to your ears. The same soothing voice which you missed for all these years. You spun on your heels and your eyes met with his deep brown ones. "Benny.",was all you said and that too came out as a whisper. He gazed at you while you tried to process what was happening. It seemed like the world and stopped and all that mattered was him. He was standing right there, in front of you. Without any second thoughts, you walked towards him and hugged him tightly, feeling the familiar warmth radiating off his body. He hesitated for a second but soon his arms snaked around your waist, holding you comfortingly.

You pulled away and he looked at your daughter , grinning widely from ear to ear. " Aren't you going to tell me who this little princess is?" He crouched beside your daughter and smiled at her." She's my daughter, Clara." you said. "Well hello, Clara."he held her small hands and said. "Hello uncle , Benny."she smiled. Benny's eyes widened since he was surprised that she knew his name already. "How do you know my name little one?"he chuckled. "Momma tells me about you and she reads those magazines." Your sweet, innocent daughter said and you quickly hid the magazine behind you with embarrassment. (Note the sarcasm)

Benny stood up and looked at you. You knew you still loved him because it was written all over your face and he knew that he still loved you because the first thing that he did when he came to LA, was to find you. He cleared his throat to break the awkward silence and said to Clara,"Come over to my apartment, I'll teach you how to play chess."

"Wow, the world champion will teach me , yayyy!!! Let's go mommy!" Clara jumped and ran over to Benny, holding his finger with her little hand. "Baby, we need to go home before papa gets back."you smiled to your daughter and she made a sad face. "Come on Y/n, just some time with me and your daughter." Benny whined and you smiled. "Alright , just a couple hours."you smiled. He looked at you with those loving eyes and you followed him to his car. He put the seatbelt on Clara and put his large hat on her little head. "Mommy look! I'm the new grandmaster." she squealed while laughing and you just chuckled with her. You sat beside him and he drove off to his apartment.

"So why did you get an apartment in LA?" You asked since you were just a little curious. "I'm not living here, just rented one since I'm going to stay here for two months. I've got a lot of tournaments to attend this year."he said. "Aha, I see."you said. "So tell me about your husband, how's he?" Benny asked nonchalantly. "Uh, Stefan's fine. He's just a little busy with work."you said as you looked at your daughter through the back mirror. After you reach his apartment, you got out of the car and got your daughter out too. She giggled excitedly for the hundredth time this day and Benny took her inside,you followed them.

"If he's at work all day, does he get time to spend with you and her?"he asked. "Yes Benny, he comes home early, eats dinner with us, takes us out on weekends and he even scolds me if I don't take proper rest and pamper myself."you sighed and smiled at the ground. "That's great, he's a good man."Benny said while opening the door to his apartment.

Your POV:

You called Stefan and asked him to pick you up from Benny's place before dinner. He was happy that you got to see him and that he was teaching Clara something new about chess. He even told you that you should send her to him to learn some good lessons on chess before he went back to New York. Benny was a good person and you really felt good just by looking at both of them playing chess. "It's time for you to leave but I'm sure we'll meet soon princess."Benny smiled and Clara clapped since she was happy.

"Come on love, let's go."he said. "Benny, thank you for making my day beautiful."you kissed him on the cheek and walked out with your daughter and him following you out, grinning widely. "I guess you should bring her back on Wednesday then..."he said. "Yes, I'll get her to your place."you said and saw Stefan parking his car on the side of the road.

Benny's POV:

Stefan got out of his car while I was leaning on the gate. Y/n pecked his lips and Clara was quite happy that she was with her father. I was happy too. I was happy that she found a great man who loves her even more than I do, I'm happy that she has a nice little family and I'm happy that she spent some time with me. She didn't hate me and I was quite sure about it. I saw her sitting on the front seat while Stefan walked towards me with a huge welcoming smile on his face. "Thank you for taking care of them today. Y/n is happy and I'll always look after them."he said. We shook hands and then he drove away. Even if we didn't have a happy ending together, I was happy that she was living a good life, a life that she truly deserves.
