Chapter 14,6 One Chocolate Bar

Mia’s POV

“Fair?” In this creepy movie-like space, I took all my pent-up anger and lashed out at Kyle. “There is no fairness here.”

After a while, he admitted, “No. None of that was fair.”

I

“So forgive me if I don’t find your declarations of ‘family’ particularly meaningful,” continued, unable to stop now that I’d started. “You don’t get to decide we’re family when it’s convenient for you.”

One of the twins kicked sharply, as if in agreement, and I winced, placing a hand over the spot.

“Are you alright?” Kyle asked immediately, taking a step toward me.

“I’m fine,” I said automatically. “Just one of your sons expressing his opinion.”

Kyle stopped with uncertainty. “May I…” he hesitated. “May I feel?”

“No.” I said, looking at him, and Kyle’s eyes immediately darkened.

Despite being the biological father, Kyle had only felt the twins move once. That day in Paris when the pendant had fallen from my pocket.

Twin B delivered another powerful kick, this one visible even through my maternity dress. They seemed displeased at my refusal of Kyle.

Kyle’s eyes widened slightly at the sight. “They’re strong,” he observed.

“Twin B especially,” I said, pressing my hand to the spot.

“They need names,” Kyle said softly.

“I know.” I shifted again, trying to find a comfortable position, “I’ve been thinking about it.”

“Any ideas?” he asked.

I hesitated, then decided there was no harm in sharing. “I’ve been considering family names. My grandfather was Alexander. My mother’s father was Ethan.”

“Alexander and Ethan,” Kyle repeated thoughtfully. “Strong names.”

“Nothing’s decided yet,” I said quickly. “They’re just ideas.”

Kyle nodded, respecting my boundary. “My grandfather was James,” he offered. “My mother’s father was William.”

“I’ll take that under advisement,” I said.

The corner of Kyle’s mouth lifted slightly-almost a smile but not quite. For a moment, the tension between us eased, replaced by something almost comfortable.

Then my stomach growled audibly in the quiet space, breaking the moment.

“When did you last eat?” Kyle asked, switching seamlessly back to concern.

“Breakfast,” I admitted. “I was planning to grab lunch after the appointment.”

Kyle frowned, checking his watch. “It’s after two now.”

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a protein bar. “It’s not much, but it’s something,” he said, offering it to me.

I hesitated, pride warring with hunger. The twins won out. “Thank you,” I said, accepting the bar.

As Lunwrapped it, Kyle pulled a small chocolate bar from his other pocket and held it out as well. “For dessert,” he said.

I raised an eyebrow. “Youjust happen to be carrying a chocolate bar?”

A flicker of something crossed his face. “L…” he began, then paused. “I knew you had an appointment today,” he admitted inally. “I remember you mentioned chocolate cravings in your second trimester.”

I stared at him. “You knew I would be here today?

‘Yes.”

‘Were you following me?” I demanded, anger flaring, “I knew you were following me! You liar!”

‘No,” he said firmly. “I did have a legitimate meeting with the hospital board, but I scheduled it to coitreide with your appointment time.”

“That’s crossing a line, Kyle,” I said, setting the protein bar aside.

‘I wasn’t going to approach you,” he explained hastily. “I just… wanted to be nearby. In case you needed anything.”

‘That’s not your job anymore,” I reminded him.

‘I know,” he said quietly. “But I still care, Mia. That hasn’t changed.”

looked away, uncomfortable with the sincerity in his voice. “You have a strange way of showing it.”

‘I’m trying to respect your boundaries,” he said. “I haven’t called or texted. I’ve communicated only through the lawyers about he trust. I’ve kept my distance.”

wanted to scold him, but I was so hungry.

sighed, picking up the protein bar again. I was too hungry to maintain my indignation. “Thank you for the food,” I said grudgingly.
