Our child

Oliver's Villa.

Oliver and Ava both were exhausted after going back and forth on a such long journey. But when they entered their home, both had different feelings inside. Ava felt like being trapped again while Oliver felt like the happiest person alive. Since their divorce never proceeded, so Ava once again become Ava Knight.

Ava looked around the living room and didn't see Orion. "Where is Orion?"

"At Rika and Arvin's."

Ava sat down on the couch and start fidgeting with her fingers. She wanted to ask Oliver about Orion's mother again but they already had that conversation and fought about it last time at her parent's, so she didn't know how to bring it up without having another fight. Oliver sat down beside Ava and noticed her nervous action, he nudged her and said with a raised eyebrow, "What's going on in that head of yours?"

Ava bit her lips and finally said it. She needed to know, although she didn't know why she fell in love with Orion but she still needed to know who was his mother. "Oliver, if I ask you something will you answer me truthfully?"

Oliver was speechless when did he ever lie to her? But he didn't want to argue with her, he just got her back, besides he already could guess what she was going to ask. She was a jealous kind of person, she would never agree to reconcile with him without knowing the truth. "Sure, what's up?" Oliver lifted Ava and put her on his lap then he put his head on her chest and listen to her heartbeat.

"Who is Orion's mother?"

Oliver smiled thinking, so predictable! He decided to tease her a bit, he lifted his head and asked with a mischievous smile, "What do you think?"

Ava looked at him a little annoyed, "How do I know, with who you had an affair."

Oliver suddenly held her neck and kissed her passionately. Ava was lost for a few seconds then she started to push him angrily. "Oliver! Stop avoiding the topic. Please tell me, who is Orion's mother, is she around?" Ava was ok with raising Orion as her own, even if he was Oliver and some other women's child, but she still needed to know who gave birth to him. It wasn't Kiara, neither it was Emily, then who?

Oliver smiled widely and asked her instead, "Take a guess!"

Ava was completely speechless by Oliver's nonchalant and playful attitude regarding the topic. Why was he acting like this was something funny and not serious? Doesn't he feel even a little bit of remorse for cheating on her and having a baby with some other woman? Ava really puzzled and a bit upset. she pushed him away so she could get up. however Oliver wouldn't budge, he held her tightly. "Oliver this is not funny you know. If you don't want to say it then just say so, no need to play these games with me.

"You are such a silly woman can't you get it yet? He is our son. Stupid!" Oliver smiled and pulled her for another kiss.

But Ava pushed him away and looked at him feeling completely lost. "What do you mean by our son? "

Oliver sighed but explained patiently, "Our means, our, as in you and me. Our. You gave birth to him, silly."

"What did you say? But how? I mean, didn't you say our QI didn't survive?" Ava asked still confused.

"Did I? try to remember Ava, what I said at that time was that we will have more kids in the future. I never said he didn't make it."

Now Ava was really, really angry, she pushed Oliver away very forcefully and stood up. "Why? Why didn't you tell me he was alive?"

Oliver pulled her back onto his lap and said calmly, "Baby, listen to me before you get all hyper, OK. After Orion was born, when the doctor checked him he was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, the doctors said he needed immediate surgery but they were not confident enough that they could save him, mostly because he was born prematurely. I contacted experts from Switzerland, but even they were not very optimistic about his condition. Your condition was already very bad, if I had told you it could get worse, that's what the doctors told me. So I had to make the decision to keep it from you for your sake. I know you were already hurt I didn't want to hurt you anymore, I didn't want to give you hope and then take it away. I prayed that he would get better so that I can give him back to you. In fact, seeing you in depression because of him I almost told you once but I got a sudden call from his hospital saying his condition got worse, and they were sure he wouldn't make it. So once again I couldn't tell you. By the time he was stable again you were gone."
