Blame

"Your mother won't have turned out this way if I didn't return to your life, all these bad things wouldn't have happened "

Chris grimaced "Camilla why are you thinking like this again . What happened at the hospital to make you this way?" he asked.

"She was right even if we try how hard to deny everything that has happened. Its all because of the choices I have made. If I didn't return to you then Samantha wouldn't be the way she is and Lily would still be the normal girl she was "

Chris was confused Camilla was crying so much it scared him. Was it the hormones due to her pregnancy disturbing her moods?

"Camilla, love listen to me, even if you had chosen another way none of those people would have changed. Samantha had hurt you in the past and would have done it again while Lily would still be manipulated by mother " he said.

She pushed his arms away from her, "but still they all were hurt cause I made this decision & I can't go back to fix it ".

" Babe, no one was hurt but you and me in all this. Mom hurt all of us cause of her selfish needs. And if you had not taken that step then Samantha's crimes would not have been exposed and Lily would not realize that she was just being used "

She sniffed and looked up at him, he could see the guilt in her eyes.

"Your mother would not have repented and moved on and we would not ha e found out about mother's other crimes. Your decision of staying with me exposed the evil-doers set free those under manipulation and also brought a lot of people together " he smiled and pulled her closer.

"Milla you should be proud of what you did, it helped a lot of our loved ones to find the right path so don't cry cause mother said something stupid " he held her.

"I saw her today at the hospital and felt so sad that it was me who made her that way. She was full of anger that it scared me " she cried.

"Is that why you're feeling this way?" he asked wiping away her tears.

She nodded

He chuckled, "Silly girl, mom has no right to make you feel that way . We both know she is not worth any tear you shed for her, with all the bad things mom has done I don't think she deserves your pity," he said.

"But I can't help it, every time I think I destroyed your family. I just want to cr....mhmm.." she stopped talking when Chris pulled her in and kissed her.

Her tears fell to their joined lips, tasting the saltiness from them in her saliva. Chris didn't pull away but kissed her even more.

"Our family was never perfect, we always saw Dad as our family. Mom was there but she was never in the picture so we never considered her. So don't blame yourself about anything...okay?" he held her face in his hand as he stared down at her

A tear escaped her eyes and he wiped it away. She gave him another small nod, "Am sorry I made you worried " she apologized.

"You don't have to say sorry Camilla it's my duty to be here for you. And don't worry about mom, Dad is going to handle her "

"In a good way or bad?" she asked.

He laughed, "It's can't be good love, mom hurt Dad, and his not the type who lets grudges go that easily. And mom knows that, that's why she ran off "

Camilla gaped at him, "Is your dad as dangerous as you when your mad?" she asked.

"He used to but changed after a while. But it seems mom might have awoken that dark side of him when she pushed Dad down those stairs "

"So he might not show her any mercy even after being her husband for all those years "

"He always loved her and protected her no matter what, but after what she did. I don't think he can hold back his resentment any longer " he said.

"Babe, promise me that no matter what bad thing I do in the future you never hurt me or grow tired of protecting me "

"Even if you go evil I will never leave your side or think of hurting you " he peeked at her lips again.

"That's a promise " he smiled and nodded, "Yes that's a promise. Now have something to eat, you and the baby haven't eaten anything yet," he said pulling the dishes to their side.

He began to feed her, "Sometimes I worry that if I hired you at my restaurant then my position as a chef would be taken. you cook better than me " she giggled.

"No need to worry love I only cook for you," he said feeding her more food.
