Elena's POV

We sat in front of each other at the Cafe shop with a sleeping Mia next to me. Oscar has called me earlier today to get some coffee and talk shit out. At first I wanted to say no due to him walking out last night pero I understood why he did it.

The guy places both our coffees down in front of us. He smiles before walking away. Oscar glares at him and I just look down.

"About last night," he starts to say but I cut him off.

"It's okay." I say. "I don't blame you for doing it."

"I shouldn't have though." He says. "I should have stayed and listened to your explanation but I was mad."

"And it's okay to be mad, Oscar." I say.

"What's her name?" He asks looking at my gorda now.

"Mia." I say smiling at her as I pinch her check softly.

"That's the name we said we will give our first daughter. You actually named her like that." He says.

"Of course, she's yours Oscar." I say.

"How old is she?"

"She's 11 months, going for 12 next week." I sigh. "You want to carry her?"

He nods his head. I unbuckle her from her stroller and gently carry her. She wakes up but thankfully doesn't cry. I set her down on his lap as he holds her carefully.

"Hey mamas." He says smiling at her. "I'm your papi, mija."

She raises her hand and touches his face as if she's trying to recognize him.

"She's a very friendly baby." I laugh. "She has her temper though when she doesn't get what she wants."

"Hm, wonder where she got that from?" He says laughing.

"Excuse me?" I say acting hurt. "She got that from you!"

"I'm a very calm guy." He says.

"Who you trying to fool, fool?" I laugh.

We both laugh.

"I'm sorry for leaving and not saying anything." I say. "I was scared when I found out I was pregnant."

"Why Lena?" He asks. "We were doing just fine."

"I know Oscar, but I was just scared in general." I say. "After Olivia died, I just got paranoid about shit you know? Ruby got hurt. Then all that shit happened with Cesar that I just got scared. I didn't want to bring my daughter into that mess."

I sigh and take a sip from my coffee.

"I want to make things right." I say. "I came back so my daughter can have her father in her life. I don't need your money, Oscar. I just want you to be there for her."

"Lena, I love you and I'm going to love my daughter just the same." He says. "I want to be there, for the both of you."

"Oscar-" I say but I get caught off.

"Listen to me," he says. "We can work things out again. Forget the bull shit past."

"I can't." I say shaking my head.

"Why not?" He raises his voice.

"Because I don't want my daughter involved in your shit!" I say.

He leans back, rolling his eyes. He then kisses her head and puts her back in the stroller before storming off the café. I buckle her up and follow behind him.

"Oscar!" I yell. "Where are you going?!"

"Why do you fucking do this to me? Hu?!" He yells.

"Do what?! Come back and ask you to be in her fucking life?" I yell back and now people were staring.

"Yes Elena!" He yells. "I waited for a fucking call, text, anything from you when you left and I ain't get shit! No reason at all! I thought I had done some shit wrong but I didn't. I started smoking and drinking more because of you! I slept around with bitches to try and forget about you and what were you doing? You were away carrying the child that I didn't even know I had and that makes me feel like complete shit! I could have been there for you!"

I was crying now.

"I was going to ask you to marry me that weekend that you left, you know?" He says. I felt like the air was sucked out of me. "I wanted to spend my whole life with you but you left."

And now he was crying.

"I'm sorry Oscar."
