Ava: "So, you think you can just waltz in and play daddy?"
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, really? Then why are you here, Soat? To claim your rights as a father?
I'm here because I love my baby
smirks sarcastically Love your baby? Wow, Soat, you sure know how to come up with empty words. How convenient for you.
look, Ava, I know I messed up, and I'm sorry for that. but can we please try to do this for our child's sake?
crosses her arms, leans back in her chair Oh, so now you're suddenly playing the doting father, huh? Trying to act like everything is sunshine and rainbows?
No, I'm saying that our child deserves a chance to have both parents in their lives.
leans forward, voice dripping with venom Deserves, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Soat. Our child deserves better than a negligent father who abandoned them.
I'm not going to abandon our child ever again
raises an eyebrow skeptically You say that now, Soat, but we both know how good you are at making empty promises. What makes this time any different?
Because this time, I'm willing to fight for my child. And if I have to go to court every single day to make sure I don't lose my child again, then I will.
narrows her eyes, studying Soat's face Fight for your child, huh? Well, talk is cheap, Soat. Actions speak louder.
Okay, you wanna see actions? Let's start by me signing this parenting contract. signs it
Ava raises an eyebrow, a mix of surprise and suspicion crossing her features A parenting contract? You expect me to believe that just signing a piece of paper changes everything?
No, it doesn't. But it's a start. It shows that I'm committed to being there for our child, no matter what.
leans back in her chair, arms crossed, lets out a heavy sigh Committed, huh? Well, talk is cheap, Soat.
I'll prove it to you. stands up I'll move back home, if that's what it takes.
Ava's eyes widen slightly, a mixture of disbelief and curiosity flickering across her face Move back home? You're serious, aren't you?
Ava and Soat come to a temporary agreement to live together for the sake of their child, with regular visits from both parents for now
So, I can hold our child?
Ava narrows her eyes, considering Soat's request for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh Fine, but don't think this changes anything between us.
takes out the baby from his bag May I introduce you to your son, Zain. shows Zain to Ava
Ava's expression softens as she gazes at the sleeping baby Zain... she whispers, reaching out tentatively to touch his tiny hand He's...he's perfect.
Ava's voice trembles with a mix of emotions as she speaks You know, Soat, I never thought I'd be a mother again after everything that happened.
Ava looks at Soat with a mixture of gratitude and sadness You stayed away? Why?
