Derek's POV
When Troy brought out Adryanna everyone was shocked. I could smell her as soon as we stepped into the house, and I could obviously tell that she was his daughter.
After the shock wore off all of the girls shot up to see the baby, Troy looked so proud and wary at the same time. I could tell the girls wanted to hold Adryanna, but none of them wanted to ask, in case Troy would snap. Of course Tori didn't seem to be too scared to ask.
"She's beautiful." Tori sighed and looked at Troy, "Can I hold her?"
Lauren gave Tori a look that was both surprised and a little bit upset, she was worried that Troy was going to flip. All he did was chuckle.
"I was wondering how long it would take one of you to ask," He said, "Of course you can hold her."
Troy handed her over to Tori and she looked truly happy. I've never seen Tori like that. It made me a little happy as well, but what made me even happier was when Chloe came and sat down next to me. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it tight. Not tight enough to hurt her, just tight enough to make her realize I love her. She smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back at her. She's my whole world.
Seeing everyone like this, happy and not worried about a thing in the world, made me realize we might end up having a happy ending after all.
Sam's POV
The scene in front of me seem to put everyone at ease. I noticed Derek and Dalton smiling, and I mean REALLY smiling!
Dalton never smiled around a lot of people, he only smiled around me and mom, when mom was around. She went missing a few years ago, and the two of us tried our best to survive without her. We tried searching for her, but what could 2 kids do? So we just tried to survive, until Kit and the others found us. We didn't want to tell Kit about our mom, so we just told him she passed away. We didn't want them to risk their lives to help us find our mother. Me and Dalton would do that soon, once the threat of the Edison Group and Cabal was gone.
I didn't know what we would do now, if Troy and his aunt followed us. Would they really do that with Adryanna? I don't think Troy would leave her anywhere. What about her mother? I wonder where she is. Maybe they share custody?
Troy was looking at Tori holding his daughter. He was looking at her with a look of adoration. He looked so proud. He must be an amazing father.
I looked at Cleo, my little Cleo. I wondered if we'd ever have a family. I shook those thoughts out of my head. It's much too soon to be thinking like this! It's also too soon to be calling her my Cleo, but this was the first time I've ever let a girl get this close to me.
I hope it was a good idea.
Tori's POV
I was so thrilled when Troy let me hold Adryanna. She is the most adorable baby I've ever seen, and I usually don't like babies.
When she was put in my arms and she smiled at me, I couldn't help but smile this goofy grin. She seemed to like me! I looked at Troy, and he was looking at me and his daughter, and he had this weird look, I just couldn't put my finger on it.
"She's beautiful Troy." I told him, he smiled and laughed a bit.
"I know, she's the most beautiful person in my life." He smiled even more now, and made a motion like he wanted her back, so I gave her too him. My arms felt empty when I let her go. "It's time to feed her lunch. I'll be back in a second, everyone make yourselves at home."
He left the room then, and we all sat down to where we were sitting before.
"Well, I don't know if you will be joining us now, seeing as I don't think Troy will want to take Adryanna on long travels." Kit said, and I honestly got a little sad. I don't understand why though! "We can accompany you, Troy, and Adryanna to the nearest safe house. If you would want to go there, that is."
Wait. Troy might not be coming with us?
