The male’s eyes searched Kaia’s for any proof of forgiveness, sighing when he realized there was none. “Fine,” he mumbled. “I’ll see you later.” He fixed the sleeves on his shirt before looking between both females, hesitating before finally leaving the room and soon after, the house.

Dominic panted softly as he watched Kaia, suddenly realizing what he did and shaking his head. “No, no no no, I didn’t... I  didn’t mean to.. Kaia, please..” he begged, stepping closer to her. “I’m sorry.. I..”

Dominic narrowed his eyes as he listened to Kaia, getting angrier without knowing it. He couldn’t help it, Lilah was his too technically - but Kaia’s words just made him feel even more worthless. “Shut up!” he screamed, standing up and slapped Kaia across the face without thinking. “I am not! She is too mine, my habits aren’t bad! You don’t know anything!”

Dominic let out a sigh of relief when Lily let out a burp, the male laying back on the bed and rubbing his eyes. “Finally,” he muttered, only to sit up again once Kaia started to speak. “She’s not just your daughter, no need to slow down. I’m not stupid. I don’t know what else I can do to prove that. You hate me, Nick hates me, my parents, your parents, what else am I supposed to do that try and not mess up every chance I’m getting?”

Dominic groaned and rolled his eyes at Kaia’s words, giving Lilah back to her and sitting on the bed, running his fingers through his hair. “I’m sorry, okay?” he muttered, not daring to look at another but his shoes. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I was wrong.”

Lilah cried harder, her face turning red at the effort as she still refused to burp, Kaia ran her hand through her hair with an annoyed sigh at Dominic’s outburst, “Stop snapping at me, you’re the one who promised me that you’d be there and decided to go home to your parents, missing the birth of your daughter and the two months following that. I think I’ve earned the right to remind you that you messed up and that this is your very last opportunity to earn a second chance from me, sorry, that should be fourth chance.” The redhead roled her eyes, “You can try and take the high road with me, but trust me, it doesn’t float in this house, you made your bed so lay in it and accept that.”

Dominic groaned and stood around, bouncing Lilah slightly as he continued to try and burp her. “I get it!” he shouted at Kaia. “I broke promises and I’m an asshole, but at least I’m fucking trying!” He didn’t mean to raise his voice and upset their daughter more, but he couldn’t help it. The male knew he was in trouble and he just wished everybody would stop reminding him. Moving again to try a new burping position, Dominic groaned when Lilah just cried harder. “Please..”

Dominic sighed and moved Lilah to rest against his chest, making sure her mouth wasn’t covered before trying to burp her again, patting a little harder than before but not hard enough to hurt her. “Look, I’m trying, okay?” he snapped, looking up to Kaia. “If I wasn’t ready, why would I be here? You don’t have to remind me that I went missing for months, I feel bad enough and I’m trying to learn how to be a dad. If I can’t figure it out off hand I’ll ask.” He shook his head and tried to calm himself down like he had learned before looking down to Lily, shifting her slightly. “Come on sweetie, one big burp is all I ask for...”

Dom nodded and looked back down to Lilah, setting the bottle down and moving just slightly to move their daughter so she could burp. He gently pat her back before rubbing it, alternating the two and speaking softly. “Come on, sweetie, burp really good for Daddy..”

Dominic let Kaia move his arm, smiling slightly when Lilah became more comfortable in his arms. “Right, sorry,” he mumbled before looking up to the female before him. “I did, but my practice didn’t last more than a few months. Once school started I barely saw them.. I’m sorry I’ve been so horrible with being even an alright father to her...”

Do you believe in love at first sight?

No. It takes time to actually love someone. You can lust at first sight though, that’s happened before.

[moustache-enthusiast]

If you had a choice, would you have stayed with Kaia?

Yeah, I would have. She’s my whole heart, I’m just the stupid one who let my parents influence me.

[moustache-enthusiast]

“Trust, trust,” Dominic repeated, sighing to himself as he sat back down. He didn’t trust himself, but he needed Lilah to. Starting to feed her, the male couldn’t help but smile. “Hey.. It’s going good..”

What constitutes cheating?

How the fuck am I supposed to know? It’s from the person’s perspective, for me it’s fucking somebody else without the other’s permission. Does that answer your question?

“Do you think she’ll scream if I pick her up?” Dominic asked, looking up to Kaia before back at Lilah. “Being careful isn’t my forte,” he mumbled, reaching in to carefully take Lily in his hands. He pulled her close to his chest again, making sure that she didn’t go for his shirt as he reached over for the bottle.

Dominic nodded at Kaia’s words and reached into the bassinet, gently rubbing Lily’s stomach with a soft smile. “Gotcha, I know how to do that,” he replied, shifting closer. “This’ll be easy - sleep, change, being extra careful, I can do this.” His words were soft and more to himself than anything, but a bit of encouraging words was what he needed at the moment, even if they came from himself.

Dominic pushed his hair out of his eyes as he watched Kaia set Lilah in her bassinet, moving around the room to set on the edge of the bed. “I’ll make sure to remember that,” he nodded, peering over to Lilah and smiling a bit. “Come on, sweetie.. It’s okay, it’s okay, no need to cry,” he murmured, not really knowing where it was coming from. He had heard his own parents say that to his sisters when they were born, but to say it himself sounded a bit odd. “It’s okay, Lilah...”

Dominic sighed as he observed Kaia, nodding at her words. “Alright, alright, I’ll be back up in a minute,” he muttered, quietly stepping out of the bedroom to head back down to his. After about five minutes, the male returned to Kaia’s bedroom, halfway closing the door behind him. “All changed, is she okay now? I am really sorry about that, I didn’t realize..”
