"I could have helped you," Xavier said, somehow managing to keep his composure regardless of how much he wanted to scream at you. How could you hide such a thing from him? Today, he's finding out that the baby in your arms is his son. Today he realised the impact of the night he spent with you a year ago. He would have never expected that you would grow to be a part of his life. You were supposed to be a one night stand, a simple hi and bye. He cleared his throat, glancing at the innocent baby in your hands. The resemblance was undeniable, and he felt his heart crack. He wasn’t there when you gave birth to this beautiful child, wasn’t there to support you. You had your own reasons to not tell him. You thought he would've chosen to run away, like Xavier did the morning he woke up in the same bed as you. Abandoned, just like that. You didn’t want to suffer through that all again, so you chose to never put yourself in a similar situation.
