Bernardo Silva ~ Manchester City pt.2

When are you free to meet up?

Came Bernardo's message through Y/N's phone. She couldn't help but feel a bit excited but nervous. Excited because she would get to meet Bernardo again but nervous because she knew she would have to tell him about Thiago.

Tuesday afternoon

Y/N replied because she knew that day her mum was able to look after Thiago and she finished work earlier that day than any other day. Y/N quickly messaged her mum and asked if she was able to look after Thiago on Tuesday and even though she knew she probably could Y/N just wanted to double-check with her.

Tuesday's good! I'll let you know when and where later see you then!

Y/N smiled at the response and went to Thiago to play with him. She was hoping that she could tell Bernardo about Thiago but she knew she would be nervous. She had no clue how he would react to it but she couldn't dwell on it now she could think more about it on Tuesday when they meet up.

Bernardo had asked her to meet him at a quiet café on the outskirts of Manchester. It was a nicely decorated café and it was in a place where hardly anyone would find it. It had an outdoor seating area where you could sit if it was sunny but Bernardo had already told her where he would be so it would be easier to spot him.

Y/N walked into the cafe and saw that it was near enough empty except for the workers and a couple of other people. She made her way to the corner where Bernardo said he would sit so she could see him. Y/N made her way to the table and saw that Bernardo was already sat there. He stood up and gave her a hug before asking if she would like a drink or anything. When Y/N told him what she wanted he went to the counter to order it and this left Y/N a couple of minutes to think about what she was going to say to him. She knew roughly what she should say but had no clue how to go about it.

"So you have a kid?" Bernardo asked once he sat down with both of there drinks. Y/N nodded her head not knowing what to say to him she knew she had to tell him but getting the words to come out of her own mouth was harder then it seemed. There was a bit of silence until Bernardo opened his mouth to ask another question.

"How old is he?" Bernardo asked. It was a reasonable question to ask but Y/N couldn't help but get more and more nervous knowing that she had to tell him or he would put the pieces together by himself.

"Four," Y/N said not looking up straight away. When she looked up she saw Bernardo swallow probably putting the piece together that the possibility of him being Bernardo's was pretty high.

"Is-Is he mine?" Bernardo asked voice shaking. Y/N swallowed not knowing whether or not to take his voice shaking as a good thing or not. It probably was normal though after finding out you have a four-year-old child. His voice was probably shaking out of disbelief that he actually had a kid.

"Yeah" Y/N replied voice dry. Bernardo nodded his head but kept silent probably not knowing how to take it. Y/N watched him wanting to know what he thought about it. He was taking it all in and she knew that but she had no clue how he would react when it sunk in.

"Can I meet him?" Bernardo asked and Y/N was shocked. She probably shouldn't have been but she had prepared for the worst so that's probably why it shocked her so much.

"Yeah, he's currently with my mum so if you're not busy you can meet him tonight maybe after we talk some more." Y/N said growing with confidence with knowing that he wanted to meet and get to know Thiago and she wasn't as nervous knowing that she wouldn't have to break the news any longer.

Y/N and Bernardo stayed in the cafe for a couple more hours just talking about random things and getting to know what each other have been up to in the last 5 years. Y/N told Bernardo more about Thiago about what he was like and what things that he enjoyed doing. Bernardo asked questions about Y/N's life and about Thiago and Y/N answered them and asked questions back. It was so easy to have a conversation with him as it just flowed so easily and there were no awkward moments even with what happened 5 years ago.

"Thiago" Y/N shouted when she walked into her house. Her mum had given her a weird look when she walked into the house with Bernardo behind her. Y/N thanked her mum for looking after Thiago and promised to visit her soon for longer soon just before she left. When Y/N's mum left Thiago came walking down the stairs shouting bye to his grandma. He had his Manchester United shirt on which Y/N's family wasn't happy with since they all supported Manchester City but Y/N didn't have the heart to tell him to not support Man U so she just lets him. As soon as he was at the bottom of the stair and said bye to his grandma he ran straight to Y/N and hugged her. He's always been like that loving the comfort and just being in the presence of Y/N.

He looked around at Bernardo as soon as he let go of Y/N and he just stared at him. Not saying a word or doing anything just staring at him like he was judging him.

"Mummy, who's that?" Thiago asked still not taking his eyes away from Bernardo. Bernardo still hadn't moved a muscle since he stepped foot into the house not knowing what to do. Not knowing whether or not to move closer to them. Y/N just looked at Bernardo silently telling him to come closer knowing he wouldn't unless Thiago went over to him or until he got told to come closer. Knowing Thiago he wouldn't go over he would talk to people he didn't know but would cling onto Y/N until he got to know them. Bernardo slowly walked over but looked really reluctant to do it.

"Hi Thiago, I'm Bernardo," Bernardo said not wanting to say anything just in case Y/N didn't want him to. He had no clue what to say to him and he had very little idea on how to interact with a young child especially one that he is his own.

"Mummy who's that," Thiago asked finally taking his eyes off of Bernardo to look at Y/N. He wouldn't take Bernardo's word until Y/N said it was okay.

"That's your Papai," Y/N said saying the Portuguese word for dad knowing that Bernardo was Portuguese and it would mean a lot. Y/N knew some Portuguese and had been teaching Thiago a couple of words and 'dad' was one of the words that she had taught him. Thiago looked back at Bernardo and frowned at him.

"You done saving the world?" Thiago asked. Bernardo looked up at Y/N really confused. When Thiago asked where his daddy was because all his friends had daddies who would take them out and all Y/N could answer was that he was busy saving the world and that seemed to satisfy Thiago but obviously that wasn't true. Y/N gave Bernardo a weary smile and a shrug of her shoulders.

"Yeah" Bernardo said sounding unsure.

"You can go and play with him you know. He enjoys football as you can tell by the shirt" Y/N said to Bernardo trying to encourage him to play with Thiago. They both enjoy football so why not get him to play that with him. Even if it was getting near Thiago's bedtime Y/N could make it later for one night. Thiago's face lit up at the mention of football. Y/N couldn't really play it that well so to have someone else who could play football was quite a big deal.

"You like football. What's your favourite team? Can we play?" Thiago babbled on. He only really knew players from Manchester United so didn't recognise Bernardo as a football player who plays for his teams' rivals.

"Yeah, we can play," Bernardo said not wanting to break his heart by saying the team that he supported. Thiago smiled and wriggled out of Y/N's hold and ran to the shoe rack so he could grab his football boots and put them on. Bernardo helped him whilst Y/N went to grab one of his balls that were up in her room away from where Thiago could grab them. If Thiago could grab them he would play with them inside the house and most likely break something.

"Come on" Thiago yelled pulling Bernardo's hand towards the back door once Y/N passed Bernardo the ball. Bernardo followed Thiago it's not like he had much choice but he still followed and Y/N decided to make a quick meal that she could have for tea.

Thiago pulled Bernardo straight towards the goal and told him that he had to play in goal because Thiago found that position boring. Bernardo saved some of the shots to show that he was 'trying' to save them but Thiago was just too good and other times Bernardo would dramatically dive the wrong way so the balls would go in the back of the net. From inside the kitchen, Y/N could hear Thiago giggling and Y/N was happy that Bernardo finally found out about Thiago. It has only been one day but it seems like it's going fine at the moment.
