Count on me

Chapter 10

Katy's POV

I carry Olly into our room as he sleeps.

I lay him down on the bed and kiss his forehead.

I get up as there's a knock on the door and I answer it.

I sigh as I see Rob in front of me.

"You followed us." I say and walk out of the room, closing the door as I don't want to wake Olly up.

"Did I have a different choice?" He asks as I glare at him.

"You could have just came home like normal people do." I say.

"Please, Katy." He sighs, looking down.

"What do you want to hear? That he's your son?" I ask, looking up at him.

I bite my lip, as I look away. "Because he is." I mumble.

"And that's why you left?" He asks, coming a little closer.

"I found out I was pregnant after I left but I've hurt you too much to just come back." I say quietly.

"But we can be a family." He says softly.

I take a step back as I look up into him eyes.

"I don't want to have a family. He's mine Rob. Do you understand it?" I ask angrily.

"He doesn't need a dad. He has me." I say and walk into my room, locking the door after me.

Olly sits up on the bed, rubbing his eyes.

"Who that mama?" He asks softly as I come to him and cuddle him.

"Everything's okay." I murmur, stroking his back.

"You're only mine. I won't let anyone hurt you." I whisper, as he lays his head on my chest.

I look down at him as a little tear rolls down my cheek.

We didn't need him then and we don't need him now.

I'm doing okay as a single mother.
