Meeting him

" I am so sorry everyone. Because of me all of you are feeling betrayed and sad. I don't want my happiness in exchange of yours ! If possible, please forgive me.

And Dads, I love you the most. If, you aren't happy with what I did, I am sorry. I will never do it again. You don't have to meet anyone.

I am sorry everyone. "

Eve said and ran to her room.

I can't believe these two ! How could they do this to her ? She just asked them to meet Marcus and they couldn't say,

' Ok, we will meet him. '

Why did they had to create so much drama ?

" Eve, sugar ? "

Steve called for her and was about to go behind her.

" Wait Steve. "

I said grabbing his hand.

" Let her be alone for some time. She would definitely want that.

And you two, what a great gift you gave to your daughter on her first birthday. You broke her heart, you made her feel she is responsible for the chaos just now !

Congratulations, she will never forget this amazing and awesome gift her entire life. Very good ! "

I said sarcastically, clapping my hands.

" Amber, this isn't funny ! "

Ethan said.

" Of course this isn't funny ! And you two made sure of it. What had she asked you ? Just to meet someone ? "

I said.

" Someone she LOVES ! "

Kevin said correcting me.

" Yeah, whatever it is. "

I said.

" How could you say whatever it is ? Does she even know what bird is called love ? And you want to support her in her stupidity ? "

Ethan said in disbelief.

" Nobody learns what love is in their mother's womb ! They have to face things to learn the meaning of things ! If, you won't let her learn how do you expect her to grow ?

You can't spoon feed her everything ! You gotta understand that she isn't a child anymore. Though you are seeing at the situation that, it's her first birthday today so, she technically is just a year old. But you very well know she have become an adult already.

And we didn't let her grow like some plant; however she the nature let her grow ! We have raised her and taught her every possible thing she will require to adjust in the world that exists outside this home and away from our wing's cover !

She does understand what love is. Or maybe let's consider that she doesn't; she definitely understands liking someone. She isn't a kid anymore !

And do you think only you care for her ? It's only your duty to check everything which will come in her path ? We have already talked with that guy; after compelling him to spit the truth !

Do you really think I will support her in everything without considering the possible threats for her ? Did you forget already that the same thought didn't let me sleep peacefully when we discovered she is a witch ! How can I overlook any possible threat for her ? "

I said getting mad at both of them.

" But darling, she can't distinguish between who is good and who is bad ! "

Ethan said.

" I have checked that criteria. And I didn't just used my six parent's sense, I used the compulsion criteria and that too dual check ! He is a good boy. And Suzy knows him from his childhood. She won't want bad for my child ! "

I said trying to convince them.

" But... "

Kevin tried to interrupt me.

" I am telling you two for the last time, don't you guys dare to hurt the feelings of my child and cage her between your stupid possessiveness and obsession for her. You guys have hurt me so much in the name of your name I won't let you do the same to my Eve !

I won't tolerate you guys manipulating and controlling her life the way you want just because you guys want her to yourselves. Me enduring your madness in the name of love is more than enough, she won't be a part of your stupidity ! "

I said frustrated.

" Are you this fade up of us, love ? "

Kevin asked feeling hurt.

Well, I didn't meant to hurt their feelings but...

" Do we trouble you thus much ? "

Ethan joined his team.

" Listen, this isn't about us, this is about our daughter. I don't mind you being possessive over me as I love you both. But you guys are my partners !

You are her Dads, you being overprotective and possessive over her just like you get with me isn't right !

We share life and so do we share a bed but that's not the case with her. You feeling responsible and protective towards her is natural as her father. But she is gonna grow up and gonna have her own life. Her own partner with whom she will spend her life with and her bed !

You can't apply the same possessiveness towards your wife and your daughter ! Let her live her life. Monitor the guy from a distance and teach him a lesson if, he troubles your baby; don't cage her like this just because, you are afraid someone hurting her !

Can you understand the difference between possessive and protective ? Don't hurt her like this when you love her the most ! "

I said grabbing both of their hands.

They thought about it and after sometime we went to Eve's room.

" Sweetheart, please open the door. "

Ethan said softly.

" It's late Ethan Dad, I am sleepy. Can't we talk in the morning ? "

Eve said.

" No love, we can't wait. Please let us in. "

Kevin said.

She opened the door after a few moments and anyone could tell she had cried a lot. Ethan and Kevin hugged her.

" We are so sorry sugar, we didn't even listened to you and overreacted. Please, forgive us. You know your Dads how stupid they can her when it comes to protect you. "

Ethan said kissing her head.

" Yes baby, please forgive us. We are the worst Dads anyone can get ! Firstly, we didn't get you any gift and when you asked it yourself, we made you cry on your birthday !

We are extremely sorry. We can't think about anything but keeping you safe from the world and we feel anyone you will meet is gonna hurt you and that's why we overreacted. We are sorry. "

Kevin said crying.

Eve hugged them tightly and started crying once again.

" No don't say you are worst. You guys are the best I am the one who is the worst daughter anyone can get. I said mean things to you just to get what I wanted. Please, forgive Dad, forgive me Mom I am sorry. "

Eve said crying.

I went to them and hugged my whole world.

" No my child, you don't have to apologize, I can understand your frustration. "

I said crying.

After we were done crying, we decided to meet Marcus in the morning. Ethan and Kevin promised to be good to him and meet him open-heartedly without any presumptions.

We met him in the same garden we all like. Suzy came with him as well.

" Hello, sir. I am Marcus Evans. Nice to meet you. "

Marcus greeted Ethan and Kevin nervously.

" Hello. We are Evelyn's Dads. "

They said formally.

I bet they are trying to scare him so, that he will run away and they won't get blamed for rejecting him.

" Certainly, sir. "

Marcus said gulping hard.

" Stop it Dad ! Don't scare him like this. He is already nervous about meeting you guys ! "

Eve said pouting.

" What did we do ? We are just being ourselves. If, he is scared of us then, what can we do in it ? "

Kevin said glaring at him.

" Come on, Kevin. Stop it now. "

I said.

" What ? "

Kevin asked.

" Don't act so innocent, you aren't ! "

Mother said pinching his ear.

" Ahh.

Mother, not infront of him ! What would my image become infront of him ? "

Kevin said pushing Mother's hand away.

" You deserve that for hurting my child. "

Mother said caressing Eve's head.

" You guys hurted her ? "

Marcus stood up banging on the table infront of him.

What the hell ! He got very aggressive.

" Relax, Marc. "

Eve said panicked.

She knows her Dads can kill him before he could blink, for raising his voice at them.

But their reactions were completely different than we expected.

" Woah, relax boy. We didn't hurt her with ill intentions. "

Kevin said smiling, impressed.

" Yeah, we didn't meant to. "

Ethan said with the same expressions as Kevin's.

Their reaction shocked me, Eve and mother the same. Our jaws dropped in surprise. We were expecting them to grab his throat for raising his voice at them and that too, when it involves Eve !

" I am sorry, but please don't hurt her again. I won't tolerate it. I know you are her parents and you have every right to do whatever you want but I can't bear anyone hurting her ! "

Marcus said seriously.

" Yeah, relax we won't. "

Kevin said patting his hand.

" Go get something to cool you down. "

Ethan said calmly.

Marcus asked Eve if, she wanted anything and left to get something for him.

" He have a big mouth. "

Kevin said to Ethan.

" Yeah, he sure does ! I can compel him to forget about her. "

Ethan said looking at Eve.

" I can undo your compulsion ! "

Eve said flapping her hair in a sassy way.

" You can what now ? "

Kevin said in disbelief.

" Yeah, I can undo your compulsion. So, don't you think of doing anything like that ! "

Eve said winking at them.

" You little brat ! "

Kevin said shaking his head.

" So, how did you like him ? "

Eve asked.

" He is nice. "

Ethan said.

" Yeah, what impressed me is he didn't even thought about his life even for a moment before putting the show ! "

Kevin said.

" Yeah. I wanted such a fearless guy for my baby and luckily you found him yourself. If, he was a scaredy cat, I would never have approved of him. But he is fearless. But don't think I have approved him yet ! "

Ethan said.

" Yeah, I would have bit you and wouldn't have gave my blood if, you had approved him just yet ! You guys made sure he is good, yourselves but it's our turn now ! "

Kevin said.
