CHAPTER 39: HE IS OUR DADDY

JARON P.O.V

I saw how she took good care with our children. The photos on the wall shown them all.

We sorted out everything regarding our kids. I did not imagine I have them this time. I cannot believe the first time I saw them in their school I felt connected in their lives. They are my kids in real life.

Cadence left me in the living room for a moment to get the kids. I am nervous and at the same time, I am afraid that they will not like me. I walk back and forth waiting for them.

The door opened and the kids walked in. They were confusedly looking at me as Cadence leads them to move forward.

"Jaxon, Cady, there is something I want to tell you both." Cadence said as she sat lower to them. "Do you remember you keep on asking me about you dad." They nodded. "Well, actually I did not tell you right away that he is near us. And he is now here in front of you." Cadence pointed at me as she lowered myself to level them. "That is your daddy." They nodded again. "I am sorry babies but your daddy did not know you two exists." She paused, falling her tears. "Mommy did not tell him about you two."

They both staring at me and I was shyly smile at them. My heart was about to explode from nervousness. "Are you Mac's Uncle Jar?" Jaxon asked.

I walked nearer to them and sat the same as Cadence so that they can see me nearby. "Yes, I am."

"I told you big brother that he is our daddy." Cady burst aloud.

"What?" Cadence said in shock. "You saw him already.

"Yes Mommy, we saw him with Aunt Clarisse when they picked them." Jaxon explained.

"And you never told me about it." Cadence asked.

"Because Mommy we were not really sure it was Daddy because the picture, we have been younger than he is now." Jaxon says.

"You tell them about me?" Jaron was surprise.

"Of course, honey, I told them about you and even in picture I let them see what you look like." Cadence smiled at me. "The picture we had in my wall when we were younger."

My eyes were started to cry that Cadence was not that bad raising our kids even I was not there for them. She even let them know that I exist. Well, I changed into a matured one now. I was thinking they might not recognize him if Cad had a picture of me.

"Okay, kids, why don't you give Daddy some hugs." Cadence said.

Our kids quickly embraced me so tight that I almost could not believe what is happening. This is surreal.

Cadence interrupted. "Okay, okay, that is enough. We still have a party to take care of. Since Daddy is here why don't we should go outside and it is time to blow the candles."

"Yehey!" They said the same.

We went outside as family then continue the party.

CADENCE P.O.V

Our small party was successful that my kids were so happy to tell them about their daddy. Clarisse was shock as well knowing that my kids were her truly relatives. That is why they were like family because they really are.

"I cannot believe this… This should be destiny. I thought at first that they were just some kind of similarity but in reality they are Jaron's kids." Clarisse said excitedly. "I knew the first time I saw you. I feel like I saw you somewhere but did not even imagine it was really you." She added.

"Huh! How is that? I do not think I met you somewhere rather than at school." I said as I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

"Yeah, that's not what I mean I saw you. I mean, in Jaron's phone, you have many photos in store. He took a photo of you actually stolen photos to be exact." She said grinning. "That's why you seem familiar."

I just smiled watching Jaron with kids. They were playing with him. I can see that the kids love him even with Clarisse children. Never imagine he was good with kids, really great. Clare and Donna joined me with Clarisse in one table while Tony and Jaron still playing with kids throwing balls.

My kids were too tired from the party and playing. They were in their rooms sleeping. Jaron never left in my house. I was in my bedroom done showering. After my body was stinky with sweat and dirt. The door opened and Jaron steps in.

Our eyes met as he stepped forward. "Are you not going home?" I asked as I break the contact.

"No, I am staying here tonight and tomorrow we will go to my place." He said and my mouth opened.

"What? You want to stay here?" I pouted as I stroke my hair. "It's too sudden you know."

"Well, it is not sudden to me, Cadence. I wasted so many years not knowing them. Why? Are you not going to move in with me?" He asked with his one eyebrow lifted.

"No, that is not what I mean." I shook my head as I looked at his eyes.

Then he took something from his wallet. It was shocking when he kneeled down. "Wh-what are you doing?" I nervously confused.

"You know that I keep it for so many years since I am the last member of the family that have not settled down. I wanted to make things beautifully prepare. But I think this is the best moment to do." He said while taking out the ring in his hand. My tears could not stop from falling. "Cadence Marie Thomas, will you be with me forever for the rest of our lives? Will you marry?" he proposed.

I nodded but it seems I choked from all of the things happened right in front of me. I shouldn't be hard to get because like he said we both wasted years.

"I want to hear it princess." He said and I cleared my throat. "Yes, I do Jaron. I will marry you." I finally said it.

He slowly inserted the ring to my finger then the kissing just the beginning of that night.
