With a heavy heart, I watched Lucy leave, Oscar in my arms. Lucy wondered out loud what was wrong with me during her visit but I can't let her know, if she finds out, Mom will find out. I don't even know if I'm allowed to feel hurt after the revelation that unfolded between Jon and I a couple of days ago. It crushed me. To know that he had a past with my best friend. It broke my heart, to learn their history. I don't know my place right now. What would Ellen say if she's still around? Would she be angry or hurt that I'm going out in an intimate relationship with the man whom she classified as a fling?

Oscar told me his many stories as we lay in the bed next to each other, he behaved well because he was sleepy after the car ride. I watched him, feeling my heart break. Would Jon be in any way the one who impregnated Ellen? The thought frightened me, causing the tears in my eyes.

The days that followed were lonely and quiet. Jon, I guess, sensed that I want some time alone. For a while, he remained quiet himself, sending me a message once a day, asking me how I am doing. His messages remained unanswered. For the week, I busied myself preparing for my upcoming exams, the last one I'll ever have to do with graduation looming around the corner, if I ever make it. The thought that I'd disappoint my parents made me feel guilty because I know I will, I know I'll end this last semester without a diploma, without graduating like I'm meant to and expected to. Yet, I studied, drilling the meaningless education I sat through, learning for almost four years into my head, it was education that I learned but lack the passion to understand.

On the 10th day of the silent treatment, Jon called and as it has been over the past days, it was left unanswered. He left a voicemail which took me 24 hours before finally allowing myself to listen to it.

'…are you really that mad at me? I did nothing wrong, I had sex with your best friend way before I met you,' he told me, the frustration in his voice obvious. 'Are you breaking up with me because if you are, do it soon, I don't like to be kept in the dark waiting, Coco.'

Break up with him? The idea was tempting as I try to imagine Ellen's reaction of my relationship with this man. But Jon is an important person in my life, he's the only man I've ever been with whom I felt something genuine for. The day of my exams arrived with Jon still kept in the dark. I don't know what to do with him. A part of me felt that I betrayed Ellen, that I've betrayed her by going out with the man she was once involved with. Best friends don't do that to each other, right?

At least bringing light to my darkness almost every day is Oscar. I guess he himself sensed that I'm out of character lately and threw his usual chaotic tantrums less. Every day, he'd tell me about stories of his day, he'd sing songs before asking me for milk or food. We continued our old routine, the routine we've been doing when it's just me and him.

I came home to see that there are people waiting for me outside my apartment. To my complete surprise it was Ellen's parents accompanied by Ellen's sister. Oscar, cautious with the strangers' company, and unaware that it's his biological family, held onto me as we entered the house with me welcoming them in. Their visit was a surprise, a very big surprise. What they're doing here and what their motives were confused and intrigued me. The last time I've seen them, I was given full legal guardianship to Oscar because they want nothing to do to him.

'Would you like something to drink, some snacks?' I asked as they took a seat on the couch, looking around the small, cramped space of the lounge.

'He's grown up a lot, you did a good job,' smiled Ellen's Mom, Lisa, gazing at Oscar who remained in my arms, not wanting to leave my grasp. I smiled upon hearing her comment although something about her words bugged me, taking care of Oscar is not a job…to me at least.

'Miss Gaultier…' began Ellen's Dad, Troy.

'Coco, please call me Coco,' I interrupted, sitting myself down on a chair as I fed Oscar with his milk. They watched me, the sudden silence was making me feel even more uncomfortable.

'Coco,' smiled Troy, 'our visit may have surprised you all of the sudden and I apologise for the inconvenience, if there's any,' he told me, I shook my head. 'I'd like to go straight to business then, my wife and my daughter, Angela are here today with me to let you know that we want the child back in our family. We have decided that as the last remaining memory of Ellen left, we'd like to welcome the child back into the family.' That made me quiet. They want to take Oscar back? I shivered at the thought, my greatest nightmare is occurring right before me. I worried about Jon who could be the biological father wanting to take Oscar from me but I forgot about Ellen's family. But they didn't want him 2 years ago! Why do they want him now?

'As you said Mrs Peters, I am doing a good job taking care of Oscar,' I began wanting to have a fight in this because despite the fact that I am the person with the least biological connection to Oscar in the room, I am the person he'd grown to see as his motherly figure.

'I know you are and my family thank you for it, Coco,' responded Troy. 'You see, the reason being is that my daughter, Angela is unable to have a child of her own, the only way is adoption and Ellen's child is an orphan still…'

'Oscar is not an orphan, he has me,' almost instantly, I interrupted, correcting him. Keeping his cool, Troy nodded his head in acknowledgement.

'I know Coco but we are the child's biological family. We have the rights to take him from you if we pleases, even if you have the guardianship, we have power to overturn it,' calmly, Troy informed me. 'Being a student from the law school, I expect you to be well aware of that,' he added, looking at me in the eyes, I looked away to look at Oscar who suddenly went quiet only to see that he had fallen asleep in my arms.

'I know that, Mr Peters,' coldly, I replied, 'however, Ellen had entrusted me Oscar. Before she passed away, she explicitly stated that she wants me to raise her child.'

'Oh Ellen's words doesn't matter anymore, Coco,' informed Troy. 'Look, Angela is in need of a child, she wants a child and he'd be the perfect candidate, he's blood related and he's family.'

'But Oscar is mine,' I informed them, those words that I never really expressed out loud. They exchanged looks and Troy's smile told me who's winning this battle.

'I will take you to court then, Miss Gaultier, if that's what you desire,' informed Troy, a shiver went through my spine at the threat.

Getting up, I felt my face flush. 'Go on then, take me to court because I am not giving you this child whom you so eagerly pushed away the moment he was born. You also clearly stated you want nothing to do with him. You disowned Ellen and now you want this child back into your life. I don't trust any of you,' I told them simply, realising that I must really love Ellen and her child, for me to do all this.
