"Did you have fun darling?" you asked your son who was soaking wet. He respond by jumping up and down. Your next stop was the pool so Tom and Ben decided to keep tagging along.

Tom kept Jake busy making small talk as you held you son's hand with Benedict on his other side. "How old is he?" Ben was obviously talking about Nathan. "He's 3," you smiled down at your precious angel. Ben ruffled Nate's curls causing him to look up at Ben.

Out of nowhere, Nathan had the impulse to hug Benedict's leg, so he did. He giggled up a storm while attaching himself to Ben's leg. Ben picked up Nathan and carried him the rest of the way to the pool. Seeing Benedict carry his son broke your heart. They just seemed so similar once their faces were next to each other.

"Are you friends with Loki?" he sheepishly asked Ben. "He's actually not that bad. He's a really nice guy once you get to know him and he likes to help a lot," Ben lowered his voice.

Could it be possible your son felt a special feeling when he was with Benedict? Everyone came to a calm stop at an empty lounge chair. "I was just talking with Jake here," Tom said, "and we sorta agreed on going out to eat at the Italian restaurant, the 5 of us. Is that okay with you [Y/n]?"

You glared at Jake but he only responded with a timid shrug. "Sure why not," you responded calmly. "J can we get in the pool now?" your son's tender voice asked. Jake took of his shirt and gently grabbed Nathan from Benedict's arms. Once they were deep down in the pool and the rest settled down in a lounge chairs, Ben turned towards you, "He doesn't call him dad?"

Tom was getting towels so it was only you and him there. You kept an eye towards your son to avoid any eye contact with Ben, "Dad never got stuck to him." You could hear him shuffle closer to you.

Before he could get any closer you got up and took off your coverup. You tested the warmth of the water of the pool and went inside. A muddled Benedict was left behind, he admired your exposed skin but noticed you were covering your stomach as you entered the pool.

You went over to Nathan and played with him a while. "Why don't you seriously talk with her during dinner?" Tom spooked Benedict from behind. "Of course, it's a good idea to tell her how much I miss her in front of her family. Say the various times she invaded my mind at nights, the countless days I wept because she broke my heart. How I night I laid and only thought of our amazing sex, how I miss her touch and breath on my skin," Ben sarcastically said.

"I've been distracting Jake for you, take your chance next time," Tom patted Ben on the back as he proceeded to take off his shirt as well.

Two hands snaked from behind you and held you tight in front of the mirror, "Can you not take this dress? It's going to drive me crazy not to rip it off during dinner." Jake placed his head on your neck leaving wet kisses.

"You're just going to have to contain yourself tonight," you smirked through the mirror. "Mummy I'm hungry," Nathan said from your side. "We're almost ready, just 5 more minutes and we'll be out the door."

Nate impatiently sat near the door waiting for you as you gave the finally touches to your look. You held your sons hand as you walked down the hall, "What do you want to eat?" Without a thought he blurted his response, "Pizza!"

You and Jake laughed. "The pizza here is very different, do you still want one buddy?" Jake held onto Nate's other hand. Nathan nodded excitedly. "The pizza isn't bad at all, I would just add a bit more cheese," a baritone voice came from behind. "Benny!" Nathan turned around and went for Ben's embrace.

"Do you want to share the pizza with me?" your son asked Ben as he was picked up. "I'd love to share a pizza with you," Ben touched Nathan's nose. Jake found this as a perfect opportunity to wrap his arm around your waist and walk to the restaurant at each other's side.

Tom, as always, got a reservation for 5. Right away you were seated at a table. It was a round table that fit 6 people so there was only one empty chair. You sat in between Jake and your son while Tom sat beside Jake and Benedict seated himself beside your son. Tom and Jake proceeded to have an uninteresting talk about god knows what while Ben and Nate talked about dinosaurs, dragons and other fantasies.

Out of the five you were left in the middle, completely ignored by Jake but Benedict always included you in his talks with Nathan. "What's your mummy's favourite dinosaur?" Ben gazed over at you with a compassionate smile. You bit your inner lip, "A Troodon because they're smart. They learn from their mistakes."

You turned to Jake and excused yourself to the bathroom. Your heartbeat was accelerating, you can't handle Ben being there with you at the same dinning table. Especially since he's so loving and kind to Nathan. You walked in front of a mirror and stared yourself down.

You heard the door open but ignored it. Your hands went up to your face to remove the forming tears in your eyes until you heard the door lock. "We need to talk," his rich baritone voice said.

"There's nothing to talk about. We were the past and I was just your stupid toy so you could release your sexual frustration," you attempted to walk to past him but failed. "Don't start pointing fingers at me, you're the one that never answered your texts or calls. You fooled me into thinking you felt something for me," he spread his arm blocking you from moving. He grabbed you leaving you in a confined position.

"I did feel something for you! I would never sleep with a guy if I didn't think we could be something together. I'm not a whore, you ass. It's unbelievable the various nights I cried myself to sleep thinking that I was only your fling; begging for Karon to answer the email but knowing a few years later that you denied recalling my name," you tried escaping from his restrain but failed.

"You broke my heart, I cried for you, I raged because of you. When I saw you again last week I wanted nothing but to ravish you with kisses, feel your skin against mine but simultaneously punch a wall. You, [Y/n], get the worst and best out of me," he turned you around and pinned you against the wall.

"You've been avoiding to look at me and I don't know why but it's killing me. I never said it but I.. loved you. In fact, I still do. I love you [Y/n]," he didn't waste any second to close the gap between you and him. Your limbs went weak at the taste of his lips again.

You unconsciously wrapped your arms behind his neck and deepened the kiss you've been craving for the past 4 years. The room was silent except for your quiet moans.

He abruptly terminated the kiss leaving you and him panting, "I- I, I can't. I'm sorry. You have a son," he stammered. You placed a hand on his chest and stared into his eyes, "Haven't you wondered what important news I had for you?" He sheepishly shook his head.

"First of all, my phone was drowned thanks to my sister. Claire tried contacting Karon through email to tell you. We never used protection, we had lustful and passionate night. Claire and I weren't the only ones who returned to Cardiff," there was a short pause, "Ben, Nathan is your son."

Ben took a step back and stopped his every motion. He was staring at you, but wasn't saying a word. That alarmed you, "Ben, I'm sorry. I should've said something sooner."

"I'm.. a dad," he covered his mouth with his hands, "I'm a dad!" You could see the tears forming in his eyes, "Yes you are," your arms wrapped around his waist and your head rested on his chest.

He tried speaking but was complete speechless. "Why didn't you tell me the second you saw me," his whole mood changed to disappointment one. "Ben.. I--"

"--No wait, we just had a discussion about this," he sighed into his hands. "Bloody hell, I'm a dad," he rose his head with the brightest smile. "I get it and I'm not complete infuriated by the fact you didn't tell me right away. I don't think I'll be ever to forgive myself for denying your name. I'm sorry love, please forgive me. I was--" you stopped him with a kiss. He grabbed the sides of you head and deepened it.

"Let me spend some time with him, please. I have to," his eyes pierced through yours. "Of course, he's your son," you smiled at the thought of Ben playing around with Nathan.

It was time to go out or else you would cause suspicion. Ben got out and went back first and a minute later you followed. Jake and Tom were surprisingly still talking and Nathan was in another conversation with Ben.

Nate was comparing the size of his hand with his fathers. You bit your bottom lip and suppressed a miniature sob. Nathan's hand was the size of Ben's palm. Ben was at the verge of crying, constantly wiping the forming tears in his eyes. Nate then turned to you and compared each other's hands.

"Are Benny's hands bigger than yours?" Nate asked curiously. "Let's see," Benedict grabbed your hand and aligned it against his. You were blushing like a middle schooler. His hand was bigger than yours only tempting you to intertwine your fingers with his.

Nate grabbed both your hand and Ben's. He kissed the back of each hand and didn't let go until his pizza arrived.
