I lean against the counter with a cup of tea in my hands. Tyler sits on one of the stools across from me, still shaking his head.
"You want to tell her what?!"
"That you are her father."
"Don't you think it's a little too soon?"
"She is smarter than you think. Between visits almost everyday and sleepovers on the 'couch', she knows something is up.”
"She takes after you. She doesn’t get brains from me."
"You are the owner of a company and you are 27! I'm the same age and merely work for you. Not to mention my role as a single mother for Emma!"
"That'll change in a matter of months."
"I still refuse to believe it until I see it on an ultrasound."

One too many nights with Tyler resulted in a missed period and a positive pregnancy test.
"I have the chance to fix my past mistakes, Callie. Please let me. You can move in with me."
"Move to New York?"
"Yes."
"I've already told you. My friends and family are here. In Maryland. I'm not leaving."
"I can't leave you again. I made the mistake of leaving you with Emma. I won't do the same with this baby."
"You're leaving for New York tomorrow.  Who knows when you'll be back. You know where to find me. I will keep you updated until the baby is born. If you aren't back with your mind made up by then, I will personally make sure you never meet this baby. Or see Emma again."
"Callie..."
"Looks like Emma is just going to have to wait to find out who her father is."
I leave the conversation at that as I walk upstairs to take a shower
