Lara Nightshade: softly I never wanted to tell you like this... he's Andrew's son, not yours.
eyes widen in disbelief That's impossible...what?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I found out after you left...the doctors confirmed it. I couldn't bear to lose him again, Addy.
I rub his face I know he's Andrew's son but I still want to take care of my bestfriend's son
Lara sighs deeply, her eyes filled with sorrow You don't understand, Addison. The past is the past. Andrew is gone, and there's no bringing him back.
smirks Oh, but Addison, dear, you didn't let me finish. It's not just any son... he's your son too, now. Your own flesh and blood.
narrows her eyes, suspicious Oh, really? So you knew about Andrew's infidelity and chose to ignore it? Or maybe you knew about the child and decided to keep it a secret from me. What are you hiding, Addison?
Why are you telling me now? After all these years…
takes a deep breath and steps closer, her voice trembling Because I saw the way you look at him, Addison.
falls to knees, world shattering around me
extends a hand to help Addison up I know this is a lot to take in, but please, let me explain.
whispers I'm sorry, Addison. The look on your face tells me you didn't expect this revelation. But it's true... he's Andrew's son.
nods solemnly He was conceived before you and Andrew ever met. I thought it'd be best to keep it hidden, but now... it's time for the truth.
whispers I'm sorry, Addison. The truth needed to come out now before you found out from someone else. pauses, biting her lip I didn't want to hurt you...
Whispers Fuck! What do I do now?
gently places her hand on Addison's shoulder Addison, I understand this is shocking, but we need to handle it with grace.
sighs heavily I know it's a lot to take in, Addison. But I couldn't keep it hidden any longer. He deserves to know the truth.
so he's 6 years old now?????
gazes into the distance Yeah... he's six now. He looks just like his father did at that age.
Oh my gosh…..h-he's mine?
nods solemnly I understand this is a lot to take in, Addison. But it's the truth. The hospital records confirm it.
