Tara forced a smile. “Well, this is … something else.”
The initial shock had passed, but now she just felt overwhelmed.

She had actually been hoping Dawn mighte around. But now Ethan had a kid? Would Dawn still want anything to do with him?
Still, this was his daughter. There was no walking away from that.
Tara’s expression was a mess. Her thoughts were spinning, but the priority was handling what was right in front of them.
“We’ll need a nanny. I’ll have someone get on it right now.
“Do we need to build out a nursery at home?
“Why did you send Hannah back? Wait, hold on-”
Tara paused her texting and looked up. “I heard you haven’t been home in ages. Is your ce even livable anymore? Maybe just bring the baby to my ce for now?”
She kept mumbling to herself without pausing once. Ethan didn’t say a word. He just kept his eyes locked on the baby in his arms, taking in her tiny lips and delicate features.
His mother hadn’t beenpletely wrong earlier.
This baby didn’t just look like him.
She looked like Dawn, too.
Tiny cracks spread in the darkness of his gaze as faint glimmers of light broke through.
“I’m talking to you,” Tara muttered. She kept her voice low, trying not to wake the baby. “The nanny’s already on the way. Let’s take her to my ce for now. You’re not seriously thinking of handling this yourself, right?”
“I am.”
The words scraped out of his throat.
Ethan gave a faint smile. “Mom, I’m raising her myself. Just get a nanny to teach me what to do.”
Tara froze. “And what about Dawn?”
Silence.
She blinked twice, then slowly raised her hand to her mouth.
“Are you saying… this baby is-”

She’s Daton’s?
Ethan didn’t answer. He couldn’t. All he saw was his daughter.
He let out a breath and spoke quietly. “Mom, I’m skipping the anniversary banquet tonight. You and <b>Dad </b>can go.”
Tara was still frozen in shock.
“O–okay… yeah…”
Then she asked, “But if the baby’s here, where’s Dawn? Why didn’t she show up?”
Ethan’s chest tightened. He didn’t answer for a long time. “She needs time. So I’m giving her time. However long it takes, she’lle back.”
Tara nodded vaguely. Her son was staying to take care of the baby, so she’d have to handle the banquet herself. Whatever was going on with Will would have to wait.
Tony nced at his boss, who looked like he was holding something precious.
“Mr. Jackson, where to?”
They couldn’t just hang around here forever.
Ethan’s gaze dropped. After a pause, he said, “Back to Eastcrest Regency.”
He hadn’t been living there recently, but Hannah still went by to clean. The ce was spotless. They just needed the baby stuff.
Tony switched gears fast, running back and forth for sheets, toys, and all the baby supplies they’d need.
Ethan never let the baby out of his arms. Not even once.
The nanny arrived quickly. She walked him through every little task, one step at a time.
It was rough at first, but Ethan picked it up fast. He did everything himself. By the time Tara came back, there wasn’t even room for her to help.
Watching him, she felt her eyes sting.
“Bing a dad really changes you. If only Dawn woulde back…”
“Tara…”
Will started to speak, but she shoved him aside.
She scoffed. “You think this makes everything okay between us? Dream on! Sign the damn divorce papers and get it over with.”
He tried again, but she turned her back and walked off.

Now that Dulce was in the house, she had to pitch in. Time to start packing.
Will followed after her.
No one batted an eye. They were used to it by now. Tony nced at Dulce, who was quietly drinking <b>her </b>bottle, and hesitated. “Mr. Jackson, should I try to get in touch with Ms. West?”
What he really meant was–would she evere back?
Ethan’s dark eyes flickered. “No.”
She’d brought the baby back. That meant she’d return eventually. There was no point in pushing and making things worse.
With a baby in the house, everything felt different.
Tara moved back into Eastcrest Regency. The once quiet ce was suddenly alive again.
The next afternoon, Ethan left work on time.
On the way home, his phone rang. It was Alex.
“Don’t forget about that new bar opening tonight. The guys wanna talk to you.”
“Not going,” Ethan said tly. “If it’s important, say it. If not, I’m hanging up.”
“Whoa, whoa, wait-”
Alex jumped in fast. “I heard some crazy rumors yesterday. What the hell happened?”
“What rumors?”
“Well…”
Alex cursed under his breath. “Word is, someone showed up with a secret kid. Damn, man, you really had all this going on behind our backs?”
