Pulling Heart Strings

Chapter 79

Stephen's pov.

"HOW COULD YOU? SHE'S YOUR FUCKING DAUGHTER." She shouted at me as the tears flew down her cheek like a water fall.

It took me a second to realise what she had just said. What? My child? My daughter? Maybe I haven't heard correctly.  "What did you just say?" I asked rubbing the back of my neck.

She didn't even dare looking at me. I waited for her to reply. "Rose tell me. Is that my daughter?" After hesitating a little she nodded still not looking at me. She looked down on the floor tears still flowing.

I know I had hurt her but I had to because I..I I was jealous ok? I know it sounds super stupid. As I saw her being pregnant I was sure it was his child. And if I hadn't fucked up the whole thing that could have been my child I had thought.

Ok it sounds bad. I really do love my fiancee but you know when you have loved someone so much the way I have loved Rose you'll never be able to completely let go.

"But are you sure it's mine?" I regretted it instantly because her face shot up at me as she glared. She walked over to me and slapped my cheek hard. I looked at her and a slap on my other cheek.

All though it wasn't that strong I knew it hurt her. "Don't you dare. You're the only gut I've even slept with. And I'm more than sure it's your FUCKING DAUGHTER." She screamed the last part.

Rose's pov.

He looked at me totally confused. But I was still hurt and sad about what he said. But I didn't care that I just told him that it's his child. But the nerve he has to doubt my daughter.

"I..I.. I'm a father?" He looked down really confused. But I could see a little smile. The fuck he's smiling. Why would he smile. Since I'm the slut who's supposed to sleep with everyone.

"C-Ca-can I touch it?" He asked looking down at my stomach. Oh hell no. "Definitly not." I spat. He just call my child stupid and me a slut.

He looked at me slightly feeling bad for what he said. " You can't just call her stupid and then touch her." I shook my head. He sighed.

"I'm sorry." He said. A sorry can't take back words easily. Especially after the wound it already made. "Please look at me." He moved closer lifting my chin up so I was facing.

I sighed and looked into his eyes. "Stephen please. You've hurt me already enough. And I don't want you to hurt her the way you did to me." I rubbed my stomach.

"Rose I didn't mean it. I was being a jerk ok? You know I would never hurt you intentionally. Especially after all you've been through." He slightly caressed my cheek.

His touch was so comforting against my skin. I was almost melting. But I couldn't let him get away so easily. So I snapped his hand away and shook my head.

"Fuck of." I spat as I moved back a little. "Please Rose I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" He did his puppy dog eyes but those don't work on me. Words cut deeper than anything else. "Hell no." I shook my head and crossed my arms.

He went down on his knees in front of. "Rose I'm fucking sorry. All I've done was stupid. I couldn't just accept the fact that you're carrying his child. I know it sounds stupid but I was jealous. If I hadn't fucked up I could have been with you but I did. And we both moved on. I've hurt you more than once. And more than anyone could. And I'm fucking sorry. But you have to let me help you. Atleast for the baby's sake."

It was kinda sweet. I mean it's cute. He's jealous? About Matt. But what if he just said it to hurt me again. He's engaged anyway and I'm sure the baby won't change anything. "Do you really mean it?"

He looks up at me. "I promise." I looked into his eyes to see if he was sincere and he definitely was. "I really am." He smiled as he put one hand on my stomach.

He slightly pushed my shirt up to get a view of my stomach. He rubbed my stomach with both of his hands gently. I had this really warm feeling in my heart.

He then moved his head closer to my stomach. " Hey princess. It's your daddy." He placed soft kisses on my stomach. My stomach did a flip as his lips touched my stomach. I smiled a little at what he was doing so sweet.

"Ouch." I felt this unfamiliar feeling inside. It was a short pain. After a few seconds again. What the hell is this? "Are you ok?" Stephen asked concerned. He moved his hands away.

"I think she just kicked." I smiled. His eyes lit up. "Can I feel?" He asked. "You can try. But generally they say only the mother can feel the first movement." I stated.

He placed his hand on my stomach. But I guess he couldn't feel anything since he just shook his head. "Hey one day you'll be able to feel it too. But I have to say it was like magic. As soon as you talked to her she kicked. It was like as if she knew you were her father." I smiled at him.

He smiled back. "That's just freaking awesome." He said with a wide smile spread on his lips. At this moment everything just felt so right. As if we were.... a real family. But we weren't.

He placed another soft kiss and pulled my shirt down. He got up and stood in front of me. Since he was tall he towered over me. "I'm really glad you kept her." He smiled as he placed another soft kiss on my forehead.
