Xander's Struggles

POV Xander Saint

As I listened to my father talk to my son I felt part of my heart breaking when I heard Nicky say I wasn’t his father and he was afraid of me leaving again. That would never happen. I could never do that to him, my mother did that to me and it destroyed me, I would never put my children through that. Never put Bella through that. I looked at Bella and realized that she was looking at me, her beautiful pools of blue were peering into mine. “ He doesn’t mean it, Xander. He’s just a child. “ She reassured me. I squeezed her hand and then pulled her along with me into the kitchen. I didn’t want Nicky to know that I heard him in fear of embarrassing him.

“ I guess I have a lot of making up to do, don’t I?” I asked her and she smiled.

“ You have to understand, he’s been through a lot and he’s only five. He’ll come around, it’s just going to take some time. You’re not going anywhere, right?”

Noway I was leaving them or letting them leave me, I loved them too much. Bella
