Chapter 655: The talk

Darrien

I don’t know how long I stare at him.

Maybe the overwhelming feeling inside

makes

not want to leave and I understand that. This is the first ti that I have actually ever seen him hold tala with love.

This is the first ti and sohow, it feels like it wouldn’t be the last.

"You can co in,’’ I hear his voice before I even focus on his face.

His eyes are watching . I didn’t even know he woke up. Tala is still in his arms but he is seated upright.

"Did I wake you up?’’ I ask him as I walk into the room fully.

He smiles "No, I could sense you. Okay, maybe you did,’’ his smile widens. My heart swells up inside my chest. He is making jokes. He seems genuinely happy and that makes

happy. I don’t know how long this happiness is going to last but I want it to stay for a while. I stop in front of him, my hand rests on the chair as he watches .

"I wanted to see her,’’ he explains even though he doesn’t need to.

She is his child. He can see her whenever he wants to. He doesn’t need permission.

"I wanted us to be alone tonight. I smile, slowly grabbing the stool so that I am seated in front of him. His fingers brush her cheek softly. My heart warms up. I love this so much but I don’t want to show him just how much because I don’t want to scare him.

"I wanted to see her. I haven’t wanted to see her since she was born."

I watch him quietly because this is actually the first ti we are having a conversation. He is opening up to

right now and I don’t him to stop. He looks away from

and to tala and I stay quiet. I am here to listen. I don’t want to say anything.

"I know there is sothing wrong with . I am wired differently from everyone else."

I shake my head.

"No, you are not."

He smiles "You don’t have to. I know. I have known since she was born. I wanted to love her, I still don’t know if I do."

"There is ti to get to know her. It is not too late.’’

He nods "I know that. She ca and she changed so much. I don’t know if I like the changes. I don’t know if I like her in our lives. I hate that I have all these thoughts. I hate that she can sense it. She doesn’t like

too.’’

Tears well up in his eyes.

I don’t want him to cry. I never want to see him cry. I only want the smile that he carries so well. This is not what I want.

"I am sorry Dar."

I furrow my brows.

I don’t have the words.

What can I say to make him feel better at this mont? I don’t think he wants

to make him feel better. He just wants to let it all out.

"You are perfect. Every day when I wake up next to you. I am glad that the gods chose you for . I wouldn’t want anyone else. I wouldn’t want anyone else to have babies with. It will always be you."

I reach for his face and wipe the tears that are falling. He grabs my hand in his "I want to do better. I want to bond with her. How do I do that?’’ he asks .

I don’t have the answer to his question. How do I answer him when he is the only one that will know? "When you are ready, this will fall into place. Tala loves you and she is going to be here for a long ti. She is going to love you just as much as you will love her."

Jabi is going through a rough patch. He will get through this and things will be alright. If there is anyone in this world that I have faith in. it is Jabi. The man I love. The one that I will choose continuously. We are going to overco this and I will be there with him, all the steps of the way.

"She looks so much like ,’’ he points out and my eyes dart to my daughter.

It is uncanny.

When I first t Tala, all I could see was my mate. She is the replica of him and maybe that is what scares him but that is what makes

love more. She chose him even before she was born. It was a match made in heaven and I know he will see that eventually.

"She is beautiful."

It feels like he is just noticing her for the first ti. Like he is really looking and he can see her finally. This is a step up and even though he can’t see it yet. I can and I see the love and only love in his eyes.

He hasn’t figured it out but it is just a matter of ti.

"Yes, she is,’’ I nod in agreent.

"Alanis said we could spend the night here, what do you think?’’ he asks. His eyes bore into mine. I smile because I wouldn’t ask for anything more. To be in the sa room with my baby and my partner. It is a blessing that I didn’t even know I would crave until this mont.

"I just want to hold her tonight,’’ he tells

"would she be alright if I do?’’ he adds.

I nod. "I’ll stay up and watch.’’

If he doesn’t want to let her go, then I will watch him for the rest of the night to make sure that he doesn’t.

"You should get so shut-eye since she is asleep.’’

He nods and I watch him as he stands up from the rocking chair and walks over to the bed. He rests his back on the headboard and slowly stretches his free hand to

"Co on."

I lie down next to him, unable to hide the smile that has been looming on my face.

I don’t have anything to worry about.

We will be fine.
