"Why?" Jasmine asked. "Why did you change your mind."
"I saw what it did to you yesterday." He said. "I was wrong and I had no right to do that. If you want the child then you can keep it."
She hovered, unsure of what to say .
He had said something entirely different and now he said another.
It made no sense.
She looked around uncertainly.
"Did you bring the nanny so she can steal my baby?" Jasmine asked.
"Of course not. How did that even cross your mind?" He asked.
She gave a light shrug.
"That’s low." He said. "If I was going to do something, I would tell you, not sabotage you."
"I don’t know you." She stated matter of fact. "And I don’t trust you."
He seemed taken aback by that statement.
He regained his composure. "I’m only doing what’s best for you and the baby. I won’t take him from you."
She felt an air of relief.
Despite the horrid things he had said, she was now able to believe him.
She nodded. "Thank you."
And then he turned away.
"Wait." She stopped him. "What’s going to happen to Lily as your mate? What’s also going to happen after I give birth?"
He was quiet for a while.
"What would you like?" He asked, surprising her.
He had never really asked her for her opinion on anything.
And this very well surprised her.
"Is this a joke?" She asked surprising herself.
"No it isn’t." He said. "Tell me what you want."
She thought really hard.
What did she want? What did she actually want?
She touched her belly and looked down on it.
In truth, she wanted her baby to have a life where she never lacked.
Where she had the most beautiful dresses, never had to work the way she did, never suffered, never starved.
She wanted her child to have everything she didn’t.
She wanted her child to have love.
She had never experienced love from her mother or a father.
She wanted her daughter to experience Both.
And then she thought of Lily.
