CHAPTER 102
He stares dumbfoundedly at me as though I'm speaking in different tongues, "Declan, say something."
"I'm sorry," he clears his throat, "I thought I heard you say that the test was for me and my son."
I swallow hard, "That's exactly what I said."
"Why would you do that behind my back, Quinn? Don't you think you should have talked to me first?"
"I'm sorry, you're right. I just knew you had so much going on and since we didn't trust Langly at that time, I went ahead and asked Dr. Sands the night you put the transmitter into Lila. You had a lot going on, and I honestly forgot about it after because not too long afterward, I went into labor."
"Well, what did the results say?" He asks very annoyed.
"I don't know. I didn't look at them because I was going to give them to you to look at first." I say softly.
"Where are they now?" He asks.
"I'm not quite sure, I'll have to see if I can find the envelope." I reply sheepishly.
"Oh nice, so results saying whether or not my son is really my son are just floating around?"
Now I'm upset as I step right up into his space and poke him in the chest, "I'm sorry that I went behind your back to find out what you should have found out a long time ago but didn't, and I'm sorry
that I misplaced the fucking results, but I lost my fucking mate and my son lost his father, so excuse me for not putting your problems ahead of my own!"
"Now you're putting words into my mouth!" He scowls at me.
I don't have anything else to say to him at the moment, so I go over and pick up Holden. Pressing a kiss to his cheek, "Goodnight sweet boy, I will see you soon." I then go to Amelia and give her a hug, thanking her for coming. Turning around, I give Ash a kiss on the head, "Please bring him to me before you put him to bed."
"I will." She smiles sadly at me after hearing mine and Declan's conversation.
I then walk out of the dining room and head up to my suite of rooms. Declan calls after me, but I ignore him each time. He tries to come after me, but I hear his mother stop him and then chastise him for upsetting me.
The next morning as I'm just getting to my office, Cici stops me, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Of course, I'm always here for you to talk to. Well, unless I've been kidnapped my psychos, in early labor, or grieving over my mate dying, but otherwise, I'm here."
She flinches and starts backing away. I grab her hand and bring her into my office, "All I meant is that unless it's under bizarre circumstances, I'm here for you." I chuckle.
