Chapter 75

I still can't believe my brother has become a father. I had just been kidnapped, and when I returned, he had already become a father. I've always wanted him to be a father. I've always wanted a niece or nephew, and the unfortunate thing is that Kelsey kept it a secret. I had no idea she was pregnant. I had never heard rumors and news about it.



How did she hide it? Did it happen during her vacation? No one even speculates hints rumors like that. I had no idea we were in the same world, and yet had never heard anything about it.



She kept it hard. How long? It's been nearly four years....



I'm not even surprised that my brother is upset about it.She kept it from him. He can be a father! They were madly in love! They can solve it without splitting apart. My brother could be there especially if they needed him.



I know my beother would be happy about it. And, right now he is not.



But...your brother was the reason why that marrriage fell apart, Aimme. It was him who caused that relationship to shaken, fall, break apart and shattered.



I watched my brother deeply. I know he is happy and maybe the only thing that makes him mad was hiding it that long.



Did he catch Kelsey or did she tell him the truth? But, based on her actions, Kelsey has no intention of telling him.



His phone began to ring. When he removed it from his phone, my eyes were drawn to his new wallpaper. His wallpaper is usually a skyscraper, a cap, or the sky, but this time it was a sweet young boy.


Is that it? Marco? Why is he wearing a hospital uniform?


It took a minute to make the call. I immediately asked him after the call ended.



"Is that my nephew?" I asked, excitedly. "Marco?""



My brother nodded happily and moved the phone in front of me so I could have a better view of his son...of my nephew.



We were both smiling as we stared at the tiny boy with fading and light blue eyes...very got it from my brother. When I looked at him, I saw him smiling so happily...so blissfully. You seem very happy and proud. I return my gaze to the phone to check their resemblance more.



"He looks like you..." I whispered while brushing his picture, like I was staring at the little Andrew "but why is he wearing hospital shirt?"


My brother came to a halt and glanced at me as though he hadn't expected me to ask that question. He went silent. It seemed as if he was looking for things to reason, or he had simply given Kelsey the photo and forgot to ask the description about that photo.




He hung up the phone and returned it to his pants.



He chuckled as he whispered, "He got his tooth out."



My eyes welled up with tears as I imagined my life with that little boy. I imagine walking with him, but my cheerful smile fades as what I imagine makes me sad. The fantasy of happy moments that I will never have with him. I picture myself watching him smile, laugh, and talk. And, witnessing him crawl, walk and run. It must be lovely and wonderful.




"I...I am so mad..." my brother sighed. "I want to be a proud father, but I can't because I haven't been around or beside them since he was in Kelsey's womb. How can I be happy? How can I be proud.... I wasn't with them during his first poop, his first crawl, walk and run...""



Same, brother.




It's not too late. I know he made a mistake with Kelsey, and I wish they could talk about it. Andrew is a kind, caring, and loving man, and I know he missed those years, but he can still have more years and time for his son.




"I know you are a great man, great brother, and can be a great and good father," I remarked while tapping his shoulder. I hope that...that mistake you made will be the last...""



I saw how that one mistake tore them apart and cost them both years of their lives.


My brother sighed deeply. "I have still not forgiven Kelsey."



I pinched him and pouted. "Let her explain-"


My brother interrupted me, saying, "She didn't even let me explain years ago."



"It's been a long time, Drew." Allow your love to wash away your wrath."



My brother merely snorted and laughed as if it were the most absurd words he had ever heard in his life.



"She's your son's mother, and you know...being a mother isn't easy."



"I know," Andrew grumbled, "but She kept it." "She never told me about it; I can go back and kneel to her all the time just to let her hear my explanation; she closed the door and left me."




I let out a sigh. "You have faults, Drew. You lied. You made her think you fell for her, which I know you did, but your first interaction with her and why you pursue her are all lies. You broke her heart."



Imagine learning that your partner has different intentions and that everything he has shown you is that he is into you yet he's not. You gave your all, your everything, only to later learn of your boyfriend's lies and the truth from someone else. It's a huge betrayal, but also a huge heartache.




"Let's drop that topic. it's all long over."



"Let's drop that subject; it's all over."



I smirked. I wish it were that simple. It isn't. It doesn't matter how long the issue is, it still matters throughout time or in the future, especially if there is no closure, ending, or properly closed and settled.



It may have happened a long time ago, but the effects and ramifications are still present and wreaking havoc on your life and thought.




My brother's happiness made me realize that despite the worse thing I have experienced, there are still good things coming along way.



My brother left. He sajd that he would go to Kelsey. I wish they could clear their problem so that I can meet and bond with him.



Kairus didn't tell me about him. I am not mad of him and maybe he have reasons why he kept it secret. I want to ask Kelsey why she kept it secret and hide it from us but I know that my brother deserve to know more than me.



I wish they could fix them not only for the baby but also for their own peace. They are becoming okay after that separation or atleast in Kelsey's part, and my brother has been a playboy since that separation. Whatever their decisions or sitaution, I'm gonna be there to my little nephew.


I don't care if they have a scratchy relationship. I'm done with it. I'm out of it and all in for my nephew.



Kairus arrived carrying a glass of water. He handed it to me, but I just shook my head.



"Andrew told you something?" he asked, holding the glass of water I refused.




I looked at him, and for the first time, he wasn't staring at me.



"Why didn't you tell me about it?" I questioned.



He sighed and sipped the water. "Kelsey begged me not to tell you..." He stared at me with complete surrender and seriousness. "I don't want to be a part of it anymore because the last time I got involved...I...lost the woman I love."



My heart stopped beating just to keep up with him. I'd like to sip the water, but he already drank it all. I guess he's more frustrated or nervous.



"I don't care about them; they'll deal with their own problems while I fix with mine," Kairus said quietly, losing his will to live.
