Nathan's POV:

After getting back from the Hamptons impatiently waited for Friday to go to the OBGYN with Bianca. It's only Tuesday and I'm going crazy. The sooner we do this, the sooner I can get to Mia and my son. I'm still boiling about that article Bianca showed me. But I don't believe it. It's a gossip tabloid. I know Benny , little Mr. Perfect, he did it on purpose to piss me off. He's always been like that. He's 4 years older then me. But we grew up in the same circle, my parents, especially my dad compared me to him all the time. I played every sport growing up, but any sport Benny chose to play he dominated. My dad would always say, "if you worked harder like Benjamin you could be the best too." It irked me. He didn't even play half the sports I did, but the ones he chose he dominated. Even in school. He graduated valedictorian and top of his class. Same in college.

Then of course he was an angel in the tabloids, never seen out partying, never seen with a female. I just assumed he was gay. How do you live 32 years as a bachelor billionaire and never be seen with a woman? Either he was paying off the paparazzi or hiding something. No one is that perfect. But then suddenly he gets eyes on my girl and starts showing her off in front of everyone. He knew what he was doing. He doesn't want Mia, he just wants to get to me. I need to warn Mia, and save her from that asshole.

On Wednesday I got a call from Bianca mom, "Nathan, you need to come quick. We're in the hospital. Bianca is bleeding. Please." I was in shock but quickly recovered. I found out which hospital and told my secretary to clear my schedule, I had a family emergency. I sped all the way there, barely putting the car in park before running inside and finding out where she was. When I got to her door both our parents were there. My mom and Bianca's were crying. I didn't bother asking what happened and just barged in.

The doctor was with Bianca and she was in tears. "Doctor, what's going on?" He looked at Bianca who nodded it was okay. "Bianca came in because she was bleeding. We checked her out and discovered she has placenta previa. It's very dangerous. She won't be able to deliver vaginally, there is a high possibility she won't be able to keep the baby to term. This condition is not only dangerous for the baby but for Bianca."

I couldn't wrap my head around what was going on. The baby could die, and so could Bianca. I took a deep breath. "Okay, what can we do, how can we save our baby and my fiancé?" The words just spilled out of my mouth without me thinking. The doctor explained the next course. No stress, a lot of bed rest. Weekly doctor visits to monitor the situation. He said she will have to have a C-section and our goal is to get to at-least 36 weeks. But, if we have intensive hemorrhaging it will be sooner otherwise Bianca could loose too much blood and die. She's only 16 weeks alongs. That's 5 months, we could do this.

I assured Bianca, everything will be okay. Her and the baby will be fine. We have the best doctors and she will get the best medical treatment. I won't let anything happen to her or the baby.

I can't even think about asking her for the DNA test at a time like this. It's only 5 months. Mia would wait for me. She would understand. She's the most considerate, caring person I've ever known. I just need to make sure Bianca and the baby are safe. Then I'll get the DNA test. For now, I need to keep them safe.

They decided to keep Bianca under investigation for a few days and monitor the baby just to be safe. I talked to our parents and I decided to move Bianca into my place. My father agreed to let me work remotely from home for the time being. The days I need to go into the office or in for meetings Bianca's parents or my mom would stay with her.

It was Saturday when I brought her home to my place. Bianca has been quite, not herself. She looks defeated, devastated. "Bianca, what is it? What can I do?" I saw real tears forming in her eyes but they didn't shed. She was holding them back, "why are you doing this. I thought you wanted nothing to do with me or this kid." I took a deep breath and then placed a kiss on her forward. "I may be in love with another woman, but I would never want anything bad to happen to you or your child. Whether it's mine or not, I'd still protect him or her and make sure they are safe and taken care of." She looked up at me with hopeful eyes. "Thank you Nathan. This is why I fell in love with you, you may have hid it from most. But I saw how amazing and kind and loving you are." I didn't know what to say so I just nodded.

The next month went by quickly. I worked from home, Bianca's mom and my mom came by everyday to help. Bianca moved around but took it easy as requested, we had doctor appointments every week and so far we were in the safe zone. That Wednesday while in the office I got paperwork, it was about the judge setting the court date for the custody's battle for Ethan. My mom, I completely forgot about all this with everything going on, shit! I need to talk to Mia before she hates me more. I just need to explain the situation, get more time. Then we can be together. Just a little more time.

I called my dad and explained the court date. He sighed, "son, just drop the case. What are you doing?" I was shocked. "Me, mom did this behind my back. It's already set. What am I suppose to do?" He paused, "drop the case. Be done. You made your choice. Just let her and that little boy live." I couldn't believe him, "he's my son! I have a right to know him! She kept him from me for 5 damn years!" He laughed. What the hell. "Do you hear yourself? She never kept him from you! You walked away! You stayed away! If you love Mia as much as you claim, why did you never try to find her? She was right here in the city the entire time! Just stop! Let her live and move on! You have!"

That was like a slap in my face. "What are you talking about? I still love Mia, I want to be with her, I just can't leave Bianca in this situation. Mia will understand, she'll wait for me."

"Oh son, I don't know where I went wrong with you. I applaud you for stepping up with Bianca, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. Stop stringing them both along. You need to make a choice. It's either Bianca or Mia and Ethan." And then he hung up. No, he's wrong. I can help Bianca until the baby is born and then I can have my family with Mia and Ethan. It's not like I have to stay away from Mia, we just have to be discreet until Bianca and the baby are okay. Then we can be together. Me, Mia and Ethan.

I looked at the clock and it was only 9am. I called Mia's office and requested an appointment. I know she got the court date. I know she's going to be mad. But we can postpone it or I'll just throw it all away once I know in just 4-5 months we will be a family and we won't have to go through the custody battle. Luckily, the secretary assumed it was my dad and she scheduled me in on Friday at 1pm. Perfect.

The next two days Bianca seemed to notice I was nervous about something. "What's going on Nathan? Talk to me. You've been taking care of me nonstop, let me help you." I took a deep breath. "My mom filed custody paperwork for Ethan. The court date came in. I need to talk to Mia." She looked away. "Why not just get your custody or visitation or whatever and be done with it?" I shook my head. "No, Mia will hate me, I need to explain this wasn't me." She sighed, "then drop the case". I looked at her with shock. "He's my son, if I do that, I may loose any chance of being in his life! How could you say that?"

She looked like she was about to cry, but for the first time I didn't care. How could she be so inconsiderate after everything I've been doing for her? She's fighting for her unborn child and I'm helping her, how can she ask me to stop fighting for my kid? I just can't today. One more day, and I'll talk to Mia. Everything will be fine once she understand what's going on.
