The time we reached home , it was really late .
I found my mother and father sitting on the sofa looking distressed .
Looks like i troubled them a lot .
My dad and Charlotte face lit up a bit when they saw me . They came and hugged me . Killian let go of my hand .
He was holding my hand all this time ?
"Leah..." My dad said .
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. It's too late already you both should go to sleep ." Charlotte said .
I don't think anyone slept that night .
The morning arrived .
The breakfast was filled with silence .
After the breakfast we went to the living room and sat there . Mr. Gorgeous also didn't went to school that day .
" It happened 21 years ago ...." My dad said .
" I was in university when i met your mother . She was a really kind and cheerful . I always admired her as a person . Before i got to know we became really good friends .
2 years later ... She started dating this boy named Noah . Noah was always a mysterious kind of person . Nobody knew from where he came or where he went . "
-Flashback-
I was really worried for your mom . So, i decided to check his records . It was then , when i found out he wasn't a student at our university . I called Ellah (Leah's mother) but she didn't picked up .
When all the calls and messages went unanswered. I decided to visit her .
*Knock* *knock*
She opened the door
"Jack?"
Her eyes was filled with tears and it looked like she haven't slept or ate anything for days .
"What happened Ellah ? "
"N-Noah... He..... he left ." Was all she said and then cried the whole night .
Nobody heard from Noah ever since then. One month later we found out that Ellah was pregnant with Leah .
She still wasn't over the the fact that Noah had left .
Ellah parents were against Leah's birth . All they said was - They'll only except the child if Ellah gets married to the father of the baby or else they'll have no choice but to kill the baby .
I knew that no matter what happens Ellah will keep the child . One day she suddenly said that she'll take me out for dinner .
At the dinner she said - " Thank you for everything "
I knew something was off .
That day i couldn't get any sleep . It was 2 am and i found myself in front of her apartment .
What the hell am i doing here i thought , that's when i saw a girl coming out of the apartment with a suitcase .
It was Ellah .
...
"Ellah ?"
She was in complete shock when she saw my face .
" W-what are you doing here Jake ? "
" And where the hell are you going in the middle of the night !!?"
" Somewhere far ... "
" Are you crazy Ellah ! Think about the baby . Where will you go all by yourself in this state ? "
" Then what am i supposed to do !! I can't stay here " her voice started to break
" t-they'll ki-ll my ba..by ... " She was shaking .
" We will figure something out . First let's go upstairs . It's chilling out here ."
-Flashback ends-
"And soon after that i introduced myself as the baby's father to Ellah's parents . We got married and i became a father . I never thought that becoming a father will be stressful . But , when I held the little girl in my arms every thought changed . Time went by and that little baby girl became my whole world "
Dad ended the story .
I felt like , i was supposed to say something now but, i just couldn't .
"Leah ? "
Silence~
"Leah are you okay ? " Charlotte said .
Silence~

I never thought that the story behind my birth was this sad .
No, don't cry Leah !
"I- ... I-m .... I'MGOING TO KILL THATT MAN NOAH OR WHATEVER !!!! "
"Pfft"
I looked at my side and saw Mr.Gorgeous suppressing his laughter .
"Hahahhah" Dad and Charlotte started laughing .
" Let's go out for a dinner " Charlotte said lighting up the mood .
We started at lunch time and now it was dinner time already .
Today's day was really something . But , i know something for sure that i love my dad the most .
"Leah ! Hurry up ." Killian knocked on the door and said .
"Yah , coming ! "
