its been a week since I've seen Dino. I tried calling him but it would go straight to voicemail.

I was folding laundry while my boyfriend was playing video games.

"Mommy, I had an accident", my four year old son said.

"Can you go give him a bath please?", I asked my boyfriend.

"I can't. I'm so close to winning at the moment I can't be distracted", he said.

"It'll only take a few minutes", I said.

"Then you  do it", he said.

"I'm doing laundry. Why can't you just help me around the house? It isn't that hard", I said.

"Ugh, here we go again. If it's not that hard then it wouldn't be a problem for you to do it yourself!", he began to yell.

"I'm exhausted! I do everything around here! You don't even spend any time with your son! What is it gonna be like when our daughter gets here?? Are you gonna ignore her too?? No wonder your son doesn't call you whenever he needs somethi- Ow!", I held onto my stomach as I felt pain.

"Great. Another one of your 'fake crying'. That doesn't work. Imma go", my boyfriend turned off the tv and headed out.

I grabbed my phone and dialed a number.

I was now on the hospital bed, recovering from giving birth to my healthy daughter. She was right next to me. I had my arm extended out while holding her little hand. I softly sighed and smiled as she was looking around.

"Hey."

I turned my head and was surprised to see Dino there.

"W-What are you doing here?", I asked.

"Well I listened to your voicemail and I thought you were gonna need someone to be with you. Your boyfriend left again, didn't he?", he asked.

I nodded as I looked away.

"I'm sorry Dino. I just thought if I gave him another chance, he'd change but he's still the same. It's not that I don't feel the same way for you but...I can already hear people saying 'oh he's not the father. He's taking care of someone else's kids. She's just doing it because she's desperate'. I don't want people talking bad about you", I said.

"I don't care about what they say. I care about you. If I cared about what other people think, I wouldn't have helped you in the first place. Now, will you let me take care of you?", he asked.

"I don't think I'd have a choice anyway. You always come around even when we argue. You're definitely not like him at all. I think that's the reason why I fell in love with you. Do you think I'll get punished for that? For loving someone who isn't my children's father?", I asked.

"No. He may be the biological father but it takes a real man to step forward and take responsibility to take care of people that don't share the same blood. If that makes sense...anyways, I'm not saying we have to be something at the moment. We can take it a step at a time and I won't overstep. I'll wait until you're comfortable", he smiled.

He went over to check on my daughter. He smiled and asked if he can carry her. When he did, he played with her hands.

"She's beautiful...just like her mom", he said.

I shook my head and checked my phone.

"Where's the little man?", he asked.

"With my neighbor. She's giving me updates on how he's doing. He's sleeping right now", I said.

"Did they tell you when you can go home?", he asked.

"The doctors said she's fine and that I'm fine but they wanna keep me overnight. I can go home in the morning though", I said.

"Good. He can see his baby sister", he smiled before kissing her forehead.

"Hey Dino...thanks. I don't know what I'd do if I never met you", I said.

He smiled at me and squeezed my hand.

- A Year And A Half Later-

Dino and our kids were in the backyard having fun while I was in the bathroom.

"(Y/n)! Come on, we're having fun without you!", Dino yelled.

"I'll be right there!", I yelled back.

I looked at myself in the mirror and breathed in as I saw the results on the pregnancy stick. I hid it in my back pocket and went outside to play with them.

When we put the kids to bed, I decided to talk to him in our bedroom. While he was changing into his pjs, I grabbed the pregnancy stick and hid it behind my back.

"Dino I have to talk to you about something", I said.

"Oh, are you alright? You look upset", he said.

He noticed I was having a hard time so he kneeled in front of me, placing his hands on my knees.

"You know you can tell me anything. If something is wrong, we'll figure out how to fix it, the both of us", he said.

I nodded and showed him the pregnancy stick. He grabbed it and examined it for a few seconds before looking at me.

"You're pregnant?", he asked.

I nodded and looked away.

"Well why are you upset? This is great isn't it?", he asked.

"You're not mad?", I asked.

"No way. Not at all. I know I've been working a lot. But I love you and you know that I will be there even when I'm exhausted. You and the kids come first. I'm excited that we're gonna have another baby. Don't worry about it Okay? We're gonna be more than fine", he smiled and kissed my forehead.

I nodded and changed into my pjs. When we got under the blankets, Dino wrapped his arm around me.

"I love you", he said.

"I love you more", I said.

"I love you the most", he smiled and kissed the tip of my nose before snuggling me close to him.
