I can’t keep putting off the conversation with Kian. It’s dampening all of our progress. It’s time to stop holding on to the hurt. With an imaginary pat on my back, I cup his face and brush my nose against his.

“Tell me what hurts the most,” I say.

His eyes seek mine, and I encourage him with a nod.

“Walter is not my grandfather, he is my father.”

Everything stills. Only my heart pounds in my ears, and his pain engulfs us in a thick veil. I blink, confusion wrapping around my thought process.

“He had an affair, and here comes the bastard of the family.”

One bastard is enough in the family.

“I am listening, baby, go on. I am here.”

“Walter told me this a few months ago, and I have no fucking idea how to make peace with it. And you ask me why I freak out about our baby. My own father didn’t want his mistakes public. Instead, he sent me to be raised by his son who…” He gulps and curls his hands into fists.

“Kian,” I say, resting my hand on his. “You are not Walter, and you are not Richard. You are you, perfectly imperfect, kind, and loyal. I have no doubt you will shower our child with so much love. You need to hear him out.”

“I did.” He plays with a strand of my hair, lost in thought. My heart twitches in my chest at the pain mingled in the acceptance he exudes.

“No wonder my grandmother could never look at me. It’s one thing to know your husband cheats on you, but to see his mistake…”

I grip his hands and squeeze them.

“Listen to me, you were not a mistake. My life would be pretty lonely and dull without you in it.”

“No one wanted me. Maybe they knew something that I don’t.”

The hurt masquerading as self-deprecation tears me apart. I place my palms on each cheek and kiss him, pouring all my love into him.

“Stop saying that. I want you, we want you. You have people who love you and are at your side. You have every reason to be hurt, but don’t be ungrateful.”

“You know how to cheer me up, don’t you, angel?” he says, smiling.

I press my forehead on his and brush my nose against his.

“You are lovable and so damn strong. Despite everything, you became a great man.”

He wraps his arms around me. We have never been closer, as he lets me see all his wounds, all that vulnerability.

After breakfast, we wave my parents goodbye and stroll to the backyard. I lie in his arms on the lounge chair outside. His confession still echoes in my brain and seeing him torn by turmoil twisted my insides. I can’t believe his own father would do that.

How could Kian believe enough in my love when all he has known is rejection and abandonment? If I could bathe him in my love, to hug him and never let him go, to shield him from everything, kiss every scar and help him heal, I would.
