Eva's POV

She looked at the giggling little form, trying to grasp her fingers and she couldn't help but smile as tears fell to her eyes. "He's perfect she murmured. The baby gurgle then giggled trying to reach her finger, as she playfully tickled his cheek, as the baby simply giggled, absolutely amused. She laughed, only to notice the baby looked just like Aikka. She stopped smiling as she turned around, to the eyes of the father of her child giving her a wary expectant look. It was a look of apology and a wish for forgiveness, forgiveness she wasn't sure she could give.

Clasping the baby nearer to her, she protectively clasped him against her away from the child's father. "Molly I-" he started, only for Jordan to come between them in a protective stance that utterly surprised the startled girl. "Ok princely, back away." the Prince then gave a challenging stare, "Says who? Her guardian?" "Says her partner." and with that Jordan took her by the hand and she and the child vanished alongside him to the Alwas stall thanks to Sul. The baby them began to cry as she whispered Nourishing words to it.

Don Wei's Pov

Don Wei was not a happy man. Granted you wouldn't be happy too, if you learned at age 15 your daughter got pregnant and was now a young mother. No one would be happy to be a grandfather at age 37. As his eye twitched in utter annoyance and irritation upon hearing the giggling bundle in his daughter's arms, he couldn't help but wonder if this is how his parents felt when they found out at 22 he was going to be a father. Only for a memory of his parents savagely beating Maya away from his mind as he took one good look at the bundle and knew instantly. Nourasian.

"Molly, Jordan, mind telling me what's going on." At this, his daughter giggled nervously, "Ahh, well you know..." she wouldn't look him in the eye. As Koji and Stan came down. Koji looked at the baby and asked. "Is that a baby." Speak of the obvious.

"Wait why is there a baby here? Sir? Stan asked totally bewildered.

"It's mine." Eva gave that shy nervous smile as she raised her hand. Then gave a nervous giggle.

Both Stan and Koji were as frozen solid as he had been when he found his daughter carrying a bundle of joy he was not prepared to see.

Don Wei gave a cough that forced everyone to look at him. As he asked with total irritation, "Might I ask, how this happened?"

"Uhh, well" Eva at first started off with a goofy look on her face only for it to sadden to utter grief and Jordan's to morph into an utter rage. At this the manager sighed, "Nevermind how the baby got here, what matters is, it's here.

The baby began to cry in utter annoyance, as Don sighed. "Give him to me." And with that, Don plucked the baby from a surprised Eva and began to coo at it. A this the baby began to giggle as he murmured sweet nothings to its ear. As he kissed baby Christopher's stomach, Don Wei could feel his daughter's frozen stare across the room as he sighed. He could also feel the other's shocked stares or they're what the hell? Stares. Don Wei sighed as the baby reached out towards its grandfather trying to play with his well-groomed mustache, as Don Wei tickled Christopher's mouth with his finger. Aonentle look in his face, the one he used to give Eva When she was younger. At this Don Wei began to stare at his little girl only to find as she walked over too him, as the baby reached towards her and clasp him to her in a protective stance. "I think I'll be upstairs now." She gave him a fake smile, one utterly filled with pain. 'Thank you, sir, see you later." And with that, she ran away. Leaving him and the dumbfounded others alone.

"Uhhh, who are you and what have you done with Don Wei?" Stan asked as Don gave him an annoyed look. "Excuse me?"

"That, what was that about?" Jordan asked as he gesticulated with his arms the moment before.

"Never thought you had it in you, Don," Rick added. Don Wei sighed. "I am a father after all. And I did take care of Eva as a baby after all." The other simply stared at him. "Of course I know how to take care of a small child!" The other's still stared as Don went off in a frustrated stance.

Eva's Pov

She was shaking as she held baby Christopher towards her. That man, the one she saw before, that was the Daddy she loved. Tears dripped down her cheeks as she asked why, why did he abandon her. She sniffled as the baby giggled as she gave it a soothing smile. "Don't worry baby mommy won't ever leave you or abandon you, as her daddy did with her. Mommy promises to stand by you and take care of you no matter what."

"Then I guess that means you're taking maternity leave." A sudden male's voice made her jump as she found Rick, standing beside her with a cocky smile in his face. Right now she hated that smile as she pouted.

"Rick what are you doing here? and what where are you going."

Rick looked at her, "I think the one that needs to answer the questions right now is you. Wouldn't you agree on that little mouse? Considering I'm pretty sure you know about the birds and the bees.

Eva blushed at that memory, where instead of her father giving her the talk it was given to her by an uncaring teacher...

At Stern boarding school

The five-year-old trudged unhappily with the grey uniform she was forced to wear, tugging at it lightly she pouted. She was miserable, Daddy hadn't come for her as she thought she would. She then smacked her lips and shook her head. No, she needed to cheer up and be happy when Daddy came here so she must find a way to make her happy, find a way to brighten her day. Eva then smiled at the thought, this was a school and she could ask the teachers anything without another troublesome adult to say that was an inappropriate question. Granted Eva felt that the teachers didn't like her very much. Oh if only that little girl knew how much she was right. But the teachers always answered a question she was curious about, no matter how inappropriate. She missed the adults who cared about the questions she asked... She shook her head, no no time to get sad. So courageously she came up to a male teacher and pulled his shirt.

The teacher then looked at her as if she was a bug, then asked: "Yes, what is it?"

Eva staggered at the man's ferocity, but her courage remained. "How are babies made?"

At this, the teacher gave her a look, a look of disdain and cruel amusement. "My what a curious child, let me tell you, it's because adults fuck, that's why?" And the teacher then began to explain the process in a graphic detail of slushing and lovemaking as poor little Eva was forced to listen. She had been thought to obey Adults, after all, but the teacher kept on giving her an uncomfortable scary look, looking at her up and down as he explained the process until Eva couldn't take it anymore and she ran afraid. "Come back here little brat let me show you how!"

Eva had then crawled up to Ned's mail slot and cried Until Ned came over took one good look at her, knelt down and aksed what's wrong. "Eva explained, as Ned frowned in displeasure, Eva was afraid she would get scolded, but Ned simply petted her head reassuringly as he told her, "It's also an act of, love. You know mommy and daddy created you out of love, " At this Little Eva felt a little better, as she began to wipe her tears away, and gave him a smile. "I must greet Daddy with a smile."

End of flashback

Tears sprung from her cheeks, at the memory, at the loneliness she felt. Rick looked at her in shock. "Little mouse?" Eva wiped her cheeks, smiling at him. "It's nothing Rick, Just a sad memory, that's all."

At this Rick froze. "Has it something to do with Don Wei?" Eva froze at this, but said nothing. "Eva-" At this she froze upon hearing her name, something she hadn't heard from his lips before. "How do you know that name?"

Rick gave her a look. "A Shaman told me."

At her puzzled look, he smiled. "Someone does care for you little Mouse, Even if you don't think they do."

At this tears began to drip from her cheeks as she came to him, all trary eyed, as he hugged her. "

"Ahem." Stan's cough woke her from her Stupor as She and Rick started at him."Uhh something going on downstairs. I think you should check it out." Stan told her as she left in a hurry not even catching Stan's questioning Look at Rick, who simply remained Stoic.

She was wondering what was so important when it didn't have to take long to know what was going. "Listen princely, I'm not letting you set one foot near her."

"I came to see my child." Eva stopped, still holding Christopher close, as the baby giggled. It was Aikka's voice. A shiver went down her spine, as tears dripped down her cheek.

Aikka was right, he was entitled to their child. She came towards them, Her eyes filled with tears. The baby still in her arms. Jordan and Aikka looking like they could kill each other at any moment, but stopped upon seeing her. "Molly..." Jordan called out, Aikka was frozen solid. She didn't know why. "Molly.." he called out. She tried to stop the tears and keep a brave voice as she said "Aikka's right, he has a right to his child." as she gave Christopher to him. " Molly.." Jordan started before stopping at her pleading look. He left, but only whiting eye-shot, hearing he was still close enough. Close enough to protect her just in case.

She watched Aikka hold the child in an adoring mMmer, his awed looked, and knew she couldn't hate him. So when he asked her if she hated him, she didn't lie. She didn't. But what was painful was that child was created out of rape, and she hoped it would be out of love, for she realized upon seeing him hold the child that she had fallen in love with him. That she still loved him, that she loved Aikka with all her heart. And that was the cruelest truth of all. Right now in Alwas a prince saw the woman he loves cry for a cruel truth.
