"He's my friend from before, sweetie."

"I'm your mother's friend."

The two of them looked at each other, Tessa grateful that Will didn't say anything Lucie shouldn't know, before looking at Lucie again.

"Okay! I'm Lucie Gray, mommy's daughter!" She grinned widely.

Will knelt down and smiled at her. "Well, I'm Will Herondale, your mommy's friend!"

"Wow! Then do you know Auntie Cecy? Auntie Cecy is really nice. She always come over and she always buy me clothes. I like her very much! You two also look like each other a lot!" Lucie grinned widely.

Will looked at Tessa, surprised to know that Cecily had still remained contact with Tessa. Tessa shrugged at his confusion, "Just because we had a bad breakup doesn't mean that I can't contact my friends."

Will's eyes showed a flash of hurt, before hiding it with a small smile. "Yes, Lucy. She's my sister."

"She's so nice!" exclaimed James, thrilled that his new found uncle was actually a Auntie Cecy's brother. "Then I bet that you are nice too!"

"Well for that I am," Will grinned. Tessa stared at him, the last time she had seen him smiling that much was when they went to their last, well to Tessa, as she didn't know that they would breakup, date, when they were on their way to a coffee shop that was also a bookstore.

"For goodness sake, Will, where are we going?" moaned Tessa as she was dragged by Will to a remote shop that was not near the city. Will had woke her up bright and early, and led her there.

"Come on, do you want me to carry you?" Will stopped and looked at her.

Tessa widened her eyes, shaking her head furiously. "Don't you fucking dare."

"Well, then come on!" Will grinned, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Hey, you wanna grab breakfast or do you want to stand here and chitchat?" asked Tessa, annoyed and yet surprised that she suddenly remembered the bittersweet memory.

"Okay okay, let's go" Will chuckled, his eyes focusing on the trio.

"Mommy, hold me," whined James.

"Okay, okay," exclaimed Tessa.

"Me too mummy!" Lucie huffed.

Tessa looked down her hands. She was carrying all of their backpacks, and James was already under her arm, snuggling deeply. "I… Sweetie, mommy doesn't have anymore hands. Maybe next time?"
Lucie pouted, her eyes blinking with unshed tears. "Mommy doesn't love me," she wailed.

"I…"

"Do you want Uncle Will to carry you?" Will knelt down to Lucie's level, smiling gently.

"Yes! Yes!" exclaimed Lucie, excited.

Will stared at Tessa, asking for permission. Tired, she nodded. Will swooped Lucie with a hug, and swung her around, laughing with her animatedly.

Tessa followed behind them, smiling slightly.

"So, were you actually planning to tell me about Lucie and James?" Will asked, when Lucie and James were at the park, swinging their worries away like a little child. Will and Tessa were sitting on a bench, drinking coffee and were chatting when Will suddenly brought the topic up all of a sudden.

Tessa averted her eyes from his stern glare, "Actually, no."

Will's fist clenched against his cup, "Why? Don't you think that I have the right to actually know?"

Tessa looked down her cup, "I know you deserved to know, but..." She took a deep breath, explaining, "I only knew when I was back at the States. I didn't want to affect you, since you were so adamant on breaking up." She also didn't mention the fact that she didn't want his life to be destroyed just because of one pregnancy, she would rather Lucie and James not having a father than to destroy his future.

"I... I..." He stuttered, as he stared at Tessa. Tessa smiled gently at him.

"It's fine, you know. It's none of your fault."

"Can I know them? I mean, can I call them my children?"

Tessa hesitated, "I wouldn't deny you of your parentage to them, but they are just kids, they don't adapt as fast as we could. You can do it, but under one condition, you have to take it slow, okay?"

All she received was a smile on Will's face.

But the next question shocked her to hell.

"But how about our relationship?" Will asked.

Tessa choked on her coffee.

Short but sweet! Hope you enjoyed it! Add me on !

See you!
