"Blossom, baby, everything is going to be okay. What you need to do right now, is focus on your daughter. She's the most important thing right now."
"I know she is. I love her so much although I wasn't prepared for another baby. Jason is already a handful."
"Speaking of, how is he doing?"
"He's great. Growing up to be his father's twin."
We laughed and spent the morning together, talking about work and other things that wasn't making me freak out.

That night, I couldn't sleep. The result was just hours away. I watched as the sunset drifted through the large glass door and into the bedroom.
The alarm clock went off and Jevan stirred, putting the air conditioning until on full blast.
I got up, brushed my teeth, styled my hair into a simple high puff and took an early shower.
Dawn went by quickly and I heard when Jevan's phone rang. I looked at the time. 8:00 A.M.
"Thank you very much. I appreciate it," he spoke into the phone.
I went over to him. "The result is ready and would be delivered within an hour. In the meantime, I'm going to get ready for work."
He went into the shower and I went to check up on the children.

Exactly one hour later, there was a knock on the door. The house maid opened it and retrieved the envelope. She bought it to me and I took it to Jevan.
He was out the shower and already fully dressed in a grey tailor-made suit.
He took the envelope and tore it open.
My heart raced like a horse on its tracks.
Jevan's POV
I was heading for Hunter's office instead of my very own. It felt like my blood was frying and the air conditioning was doing a poor job at cooling me off.
"Mr. Sax, I have a Mr. Jevan Hollen here to see you. Should I send him in, sir?" his secretary spoke in the phone to grant permission.
I noticed she was someone my father fired a few weeks ago.
She led me into Hunter's office then closed the door as she left.
"Jevan, what a surprise. Have a seat," Hunter offered.
"I'll stand. This isn't a meeting," I answered.
"Oh. So this is an unfriendly visit?" Hunter asked, standing too. He straightened his posture and his jacket.
"You got that right," I said.
"Why are you here? Oh, let me guess. You came here to warn about staying away from your fiancée, right?"
"That and more," I said, tossing him the envelope with a copy of the DNA test results, "The proof is in your face. Dahlia is my daughter and Blossom is about to become my wife. Stay away from them both!"
"Why must you always have your fucking way and I can't have shit to myself, huh? You think I didn't love Blossom too? I want a family too and I wanted that family with her! You came between us and fucked everything up for me. I should punch you in the face!" Hunter shouted.
"I wish you would, clown. The only punching you can accomplish is that on a woman when she's vulnerable like what you did to Blossom. You think I never saw the bruises over her face and body? And you have the audacity to state that you love her and wanted a family with her?" I asked, folding my arms.
"You Hollens. From your granpa all the way down to your son, you're nothing but pain in the ass!"
"Leave my family out of this, especially my kid, before I come over there and knock all your teeth out! I come here to show you that baby Dahlia is my daughter. Not yours!"
"Well I don't believe these results, Jevan. You're a billionaire. You can purchase the god damn presidency if you wanted to. I want my own DNA testing done."
"What! Are you out of your senses now? Why would I falsify the DNA test?"
"Because you want Dahlia to be your daughter! You would do anything! I'm not believing this and there's no way you can make me believe it unless I have my own testing done."
"Be my guest. You can go to the lab today. Dahlia's sample should still be available or I can give you a new one."
"No. You're just going to tamper with everything. I'll get my own lab and my own sample from Dahlia. Have Blossom meet me with....."
"I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE BLOSSOM DO SHIT! Stay the hell away from my woman and my kid! I'm done warning you!" I turned on my heel and walked out the door.

Blossom's POV
I had Hunter's number blocked from calling my phone. Jevan showed me the results from the test and I was happy that he was the father of baby Dahlia.
I had called my mother and told her the news and I messaged Sophia and Nina with the information as well.
I was in the nursery with Dahlia when Jevan walked in.
"Hey, I thought you were at work."
"I went to see Hunter."
"What? Why?"
"To show him that he's not Dahlia's father and to tell him to stay away from my family."
"I understand why you did it but we should have ignored him."
"No. Sometimes when you ignore someone, they tend to get more desperate for your attention and might do just about anything to obtain that. From now on, if you're going out in the public, a security guard would be with you."
"You're giving me a babysitter?"
"No. A protector. I wouldn't always be around to protect you and when I'm not, I want to make sure you're safe especially when out with the children."
