Brentin's POV
After seeing his smile and eyes, I knew I would do whatever it takes to have my sons and daughter, even their mother back in my life. I laid him down in his crib; I then proceeded to kiss his forehead along with my other son and daughter. My sons and daughter, I like the sound of that. I turned to Aaryana to see her silently crying. Why is she crying? Is it because of me? Is it because of what I said? "Aaryana, we need to talk. Not just about the kids, but about us, about everything." I told her. She nodded while wiping her tears and motioning for me to go into the room. I followed her into her family room.
"Well first off, what about the kids?" She asked. I knew she was making sure that I would never hurt the kids and what my intentions were towards them.
"I want; no I need to be in their lives. I need to be able to help them, watch as they take their first step, say their first words; I want to be able to build memories with them." I told her. "But, I also want to talk about us."
"There is no us. Not anymore." She told me. I felt my heart break. I have to find a way to get her back. She doesn't know how bad I feel about what I did. "There hasn't been an us for six months now. Besides, until you can prove to me that you can change, that you won't cheat and that I can trust you again, there never will be an us. The only relationship we will have until then is friendship and the kids."
"There is an us. We're mates. There's always gonna be an us." I told her. I was slightly irritated. How can she say there's not an us?
"No there isn't. That went out the door when you cheated. Hell, you never even said that you were sorry; you just want me to give you another chance to break me down. But no, that's not how it's going to work. You need to earn my trust and respect back. So until then we can start off as friends. You can see the kids whenever you want, but there is to be no touching me." She said. I know I was provoking her and making her angry, but she had to see that no matter what, we are still mates. That we always will be mates.
"How is that possible? How can I see the kids and you, and not want to touch you?" I asked her.
She looked me dead in the eye and said, "Because, when you see the children, I will not be by myself. My father, brother, beta or third in command will be with me at all times. Until you can prove to me that you are trustworthy, they always will be with me. If you show any disrespect towards me, I will only send one of them with the kids when you visit. If you hurt my children, I will hunt you down and make you rue the day you ever met me." I could tell that she meant every word. Especially with the determination in her eyes.
"Why would I hurt OUR children? Why would I disrespect you?" I asked her. Because, even though she don't trust me or believe me right now, I would never hurt her or the children. I would never disrespect her in any way.
"I'm just saying IF you ever do. I'm not saying you will, because right now I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. I want to be able to let you prove to me that you are worthy of a second chance. But, know this, if you mess up, in any way, shape or form, the kids and I are gone." She said. "I'm only giving you this one chance. Don't mess it up."
"Well, right now, I'll take what I can get. If it's just friendship and seeing our kids, I'm okay with that. But I will prove myself to you and the kids. And, I never said I'm sorry, but I am. You will never know how sorry I am. You will never know how much I regret everything that I put you through. You will never know how hard it is for me to see the disappointment and disgust in your eyes when you look at me. But I will prove it all to you." I told her. I then walked back in to spend more time with the kids. Leaving her to think over everything I had told her.
Aaryana's POV
"Well, right now, I'll take what I can get. If it's just friendship and seeing our kids, I'm okay with that. But I will prove myself to you and the kids. And, I never said I'm sorry, but I am. You will never know how sorry I am. You will never know how much I regret everything that I put you through. You will never know how hard it is for me to see the disappointment and disgust in your eyes when you look at me. But I will prove it all to you." He said, and then he walked out. He didn't give me time to reply to it or anything. He just walked into the room with the kids.
I won't lie and say that I'm not curious to how he's going to prove himself. I'm not going to lie and say that I hope he fails, because in all honesty, I want him to pass this. Am I being selfish on telling him that right now we should just be friends? Or that I'm only giving him one other chance? What if he messes up? I can't just take the kids away from him. That would tear him apart. And, besides that, the kids need to know their father. This whole situation just got a lot more confusing.
What if things start moving too fast? What if he ends up sleeping with someone else? Would he ever unintentionally hurt the kids? Would he ever unintentionally or intentionally hurt me again? Will he actually prove me wrong and prove to me that he has changed? Ugh, all these questions keep running through my mind and there is no answer for them. I guess I will just have to wait and see how everything turns out.
