Chapter 45 Forty Five

The Next Day.

Lilian was still fast asleep in her room when Jayda went to open the door for Roman. She had texted him the night before and pleaded for him to come over this morning and she was glad he heeded to her request.

"Why didn't you tell me anything?" Jayda accused.

Roman rubbed his palms together and let out some air.

"Lilian and I trust you, we know you will always be there for us. I honestly don't know why we never told you about it. I guess it was a shock to us and we were trying to deal with it in our own way to avoid pity. Had I known bringing the issue of a child will tamper with Lilian and I's relationship, I would have never said anything about it."

"She said you really want a child and she could see the desire in your eyes when you look at other people's children."

"I won't lie, I do want a child and if I can't have one with Lilian, I would rather not have one at all."

"The baby issue started when we stopped using protection when making love. I said I will be the happiest if we were pregnant. I never knew she took my word to heart. The hardest thing was comforting her whenever she took a test and it came out negative."

She said you did not agree to surrogacy or IVF, " Jayda said.

Roman let out a sigh. "Lilian is desperate and whenever she's desperate she thinks of doing the unthinkable."

le things with me." She said in his chest.

"Jayda called me over and spoke some sense into me. You should thank her."

"She also feels guilty about everything that has happened. She thought if she had paid more attention, she would have known something was not right between us." Rome added.

"I didn't tell her because I didn't want her to get all stressed up. She has had a lot on her plate too." Lilian reasoned.

"I'm happy we are cool." She said as she snuggled close to Roman.

"Same here my love."

Lilian and Roman stayed in Lily's room for a while and engaged in conversations before they decided to join Jayda in the living room.

"Aunt Lilian, " Aaron said excitedly before running over to where Lilian was and hugging her legs tightly.

Lilian released herself from Aaron's hug, dropped down to her knees and hugged him.

"I missed you, buddy." She kissed his cheek.

"I missed you too aunt Lily."

"Did Uncle Rome make you cry?" He asked with a sad face.

Lilian chuckled, even though she had splashed some water on her face, her eyes were still puffy.

"No my love, my eyes were itching that's why it's like that."

Aaron nodded.

Lilian hugged Sebastian and then Jayda.

"You don't need to feel bad about anything. Thanks for calling Roman over. We are cool now." She said to Jayda.

"Everything will be fine, I promise, " Jayda assured, giving her best friend a light squeeze on her shoulder.
