Aphmau's POV
Aaron and I head into the office talking about some of the things for the wedding, we have a meeting with Laurence today, his dad is coming with to make sure he talks to us, its necessary, since Laurence doesn't want to walk with us, for who knows what reason, we're discussing partnership, we're going to a restaurant to talk.
We get to his office and I hear Dottie talking on her phone and she sounds excited. I quickly head in to give her coffee and she ends up ending the conversation
"Everything okay?"
She nods
"Do you want to talk?"
She nods. I close her door and lean over her desk
"Hm"
She sighs smiling
"Im pregnant, me and my husband have been trying for close to a year"
"Thats amazing! Does he know?"
"Yea he's excited"
"Thats really nice!"
"Its just the feeling of knowing Im bringing someone else into the world is giving me anxiety"
"Yea that happened to me too"
She whips her head around
"You two have a kid?"
"No, past relationship"
"Is he still open to them"
"Trust me Aarons basically her dad, he's great with her!"
"Is the the one on his desk?"
"Yes, her name is Lilith he's her soon to be stepdad not that she'll understand that till much later"
"How old is she?"
"She turns one in about a month and a half"
"Shes adorable"
"Thankyou, does he have anything?"
"An appointment with Mr. Zvahl at 1, a meeting at 3, oh and Wedding Cake Testing at 6"
"Oh my god thats today isnt it!"
She nods
"Thanks Dottie! Oh! Uhm... are you waiting to tell him?"
I nod towards the door
"Yea"
I nod heading out
"You two were chatting"
I sit on his desk as he sends emails
"Just chatting about Lilith"
He looks up at me before using his arm to mimic a pregnant stomach while mouthing
'Is she pregnant?'
I put my finger over my mouth shushing him. He rolls his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"Just confirming todays meetings"
I nod
"6 wedding cakes, I have stuff to discuss with my mom before I get killed before not including her with Liliths Birthay"
He nods pecking my lips before I grab my purse heading out.
-o-
We get over to the Bakery we're ordering these at an it smells delicious in here. We hear someone shuffle around and a Im assuming the head Baker comes out shaking our hands
"Mr Lycan and Ms. Ramirez so nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too"
Aaron nods and he has us follow him. We head back and I see tons of pieces.
"I was informed no chocolate will be involved and I assure you there is absolutely no chocolate"
I nod
"Thank you"
He walks off allowing us to try everything, each one has a tag behind it
"Where do you want to start"
He nods us off to the other side resting his hand on my waist
"Aaron try this"
He smirks at me
"Dont talk with you mouth full"
"Oh shut up"
He takes a bite and I watch his eyes widen and light up his ears perking up and I laugh at him
"Its a vanilla caramel marble"
"That is fucking delicious"
"Dont talk with your mouth full"
He rolls his eyes
"Do you want this one"
"Fuck yea"
We have a quick chat with the Baker and Aaron checks his phone and I watch his face drop
"Well thakyou, you will be emailed the design by tomorrow night"
"Thats great when is the date"
"May 20th"
He nods
"I will have that all set up"
"Thankyou"
He gives me a hug kissing both my cheeks
"Have a good night"
I nod as he shakes hands with Aaron and we both head out
"Im going to drop you off at the house so that Liliths Babysitter can go at a decent time and dad wants to talk at the office, if Dotties still in Ill have her email him.
I get in the car
"She picked out the design?"
"Mom and Melissa did they said they wanted it to be a surprise for us, they're also the ones paying for it"
"Alright"
He stops the car outside and I kiss him before heading out
"Let me know what he wanted"
He nods
"I will"
I get insdde seeing Ein holding Lilith and he looks conflicted
"Ein?"
He looks up kind of surprised his eyes millions of miles away
"Listen you are probably going to hate me"
"For what?"
He sits us both down and I pick up Lilith
"Im moving back to California"
I look at him dumbstruck
"And what do you plan on taking Lilith away from me?!"
"No, I was wanting to give the other half of custody to Aaron"
"Why?"
"I fucked up"
I set Lilith down to play and take out some of her toys
"What did you do?"
"Listen I was drunk"
"What did you do?"
"I got into an accident, and I killed the other driver, Im doing time in California"
"ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT!? -
Aarons POV
I walk in seeing Aphmau with Ein on the couch
"YOU DIDNT THINK TO FUCKING TELL ME THIS WAS A YEAR AGO EIN!"
He looks over at me as she is now standing up screaming at him. I go over picking Lilith up before taking her upstairs
"AARON"
I turn around looking at him and she shakes his head and I sigh not my fault
"We need to talk right now AND YOU STAY RIGHT THERE"
I nod as she follows me upstairs
"What happened"
"Eins going to Jail"
"What?!"
"When he was in Cali with his family he got drunk caused an accident killing the other driver. He missed my birthday because he was in court"
"Okay so what do you want to do"
"He wants you to take custody of Lilith the other half he'll be in for 5 years"
I feel my eyes slightly widen
"Obviouly Biologically he would still be the father but you would be her father legally"
I nod
"When do we do the paper work"
"I dont know, first he has to give up his rights"
I nod and I watch a tear fall down her cheek
"What baby?"
"He is a fucking idiot, now shes growing up without him"
"Thats his fault, you couldn't stop him from doing that, you know it, but now he has to live with it, she isnt 4, she isn't even one, she will still grow up with a father figure and she is young enough that it won't impact her, maybe once he comes back but right now lets not worry about that"
She nods and she hugs me
"Okay legs get this done with"
I pick Lilith back up setting her back in the living room that has millions of toys sprawled around crawling around the space. Aphmau looks up at him
"File the papers to drop custody Aaron will become her legal father"
He nods and I watch his face fall in defeat
"You did this to yourself you can't act like the victim, you wont hurt her shes young enough"
He nods
"You might as well be up there for good I dont want you around her again"
"Aphmau"
"No. You wont see her again"
"You can't do this to me"
"You did it to yourself, please leave"
He gets up looking up at Lilith waving bye at her before leaving and she looks up at me
"Fuck me"
"No"
"Not like that!"
I chuckle as she giggles laying her head on my shoulder
-o-
I sign the paperwork infront of a lawyer and Aphmau signs agreeing with me so does Ein
He adjusts his suit standing up shaking all of our hands
"We will get that paperwork transferred over within the next month, Mr. Bravo you may already be serving time so that may take longer"
He nods
"Thank you"
We all head out and once we get in the car Aphmau sighs breaking down and I pull he onto my lap
"Its alright baby I promise
