Kayleigh's pov
After the things happened yesterday I was in no mood to open my eyes and face reality. I woke up around 11.00 am, I wouldn't be able to work as I am still processing everything that happened so I called in sick today. I went to the washroom to freshen up, after I finished cleaning up I made my bed and walked towards the living room. I entered the living room to find Sam sitting on the bar stool by kitchen giving death glare to someone I followed her gaze to find Eddie sitting on the couch with Haley in his arms along with a fresh bruise on his face. To say I was shocked to see him here would be an understatement, I am sure Jay didn't give him my address, he would first ask me before providing him my address. I walked up to him and grabbed Haley from his arms "What are you doing here? How did you find my address?" He stood up and walked in to the kitchen as if he owns the place "I have my ways!" He pulled out a plate of stacked pancakes with butter and chocolate chips decorated like a smiley while he spoke, "now let's feed you breakfast first, you know right that you're always on the edge when you are hungry!" I glared at him while he served Sam her pancakes with strawberry syrup and blue berries, I looked at Sam raising an eye brow and all I got is a shrug from her and she started digging in. I eyed him with suspicion and he just smiled in return "Bon appetit!", I gave up and dug in.
After we finished eating, I saw a look of relief on his face as I spoke, "Edward we need to talk!" I eyed Sam signalling her to give us some privacy. Sam picked up Haley and walked towards the door, "Kay, I am going to visit our neighbour Mrs. Smith. Call me if you need anything!" Before leaving she threw Eddie a murderous glare, "especially if you need me to use my karate skills" with that she closed the door behind us. I folded my arms and lead Eddie to the couch, once he sat down "Start talking, what do you want?" He had an amused look on his face while I rolled my eyes, "This is not funny Edward, tell me why are you here? If you are here to take Haley away from me I won't let that happen, I'll fight tooth and nail if I have to. I won't let you take my daughter away from me!" He chuckled and looked back at me, "I am not here to take her away from you. I want to be a part of her life and your life." I shook my head and looked out of the window, "that's not gonna happen Eddie, you can't be a part of my life anymore. You can come and spend time with Haley, but not me, you lost that chance long ago!" Within a blink he pinned me on the couch with his face just inches away, "Do you have any idea how horrible I feel on missing out on such important moments of my life? I didn't get to hold her when she was born, I didn't get to be there for you just because you chose to walk out on me. Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Do you?" I saw tears in his eyes, I was dumb struck at the moment. He let go off me and I didn't realise tears had already fallen from my eyes. I wiped the tears and went on to set the already set furniture. "You are right! As I already said you can be a part of Haley's life but there is no future for us. We can work something out, few days in a week you can stay with her. Once I am confident enough, you can take good care of her!" He called out my name, "Kay, I want you to look at me!" I turned around to face him, he walked up to me and held my hand "I want to make things right for us, I want more than just few days." I let go of his hands, "That's not possible, if you want you can come and meet her whenever you want or I suggest you leave!" He sighed and took a seat on the couch, "Alright, I'll take whatever I can get for now." I made my way to my room to get my phone and texted Sam to come back home. Sam got home with Haley within minutes. Eddie took Haley from Sam and played with her while Sam and I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. While preparing lunch we were also eyeing Eddie time to time then I asked Sam, "Did you give him that bruise?" Sam replied glaring at him, "Yes, no one messes with my best friend!" I chuckled and looked at Haley; she got along with Eddie so well and he was genuinely smiling the whole time. I felt sorry for not letting him know about her earlier, somewhere deep down I felt guilty for not letting him know, after-all he had every right to be in her life. A fake cough bought me back from my thoughts and I looked in the direction of the sound to see Sam looking at me with sympathy, "Do you wanna talk about it? I can kick his guts if he is hurting you!" I hugged Sam sniffling, "It's alright, you don't need to do it at-least not now!" We chuckled and continued preparing lunch after few minutes we heard the door bell ring I looked at Sam and spoke "It's okay I will get it". I went to get the door to find Jay and Beth standing at the door with a bottle of wine and a dessert box. They both gave me a group hug Jay spoke up pulling out, "After what happened last night, I thought may be wine, food and friends is what you'll need!" I smiled, "Thank you so much for coming over guys, we were just preparing lunch. Why don't you guys come in?" I led them to the living room and Beth stopped mid way, "What are you doing here? Did I miss out on something again?" Jay Walked up to Eddie and gave him a man hug, "I didn't know you would be here!" He turned towards me to offer, "Kay, we can come back another time if you want!" I waved at him and made my way towards kitchen with Beth tailing behind me with dessert box as I declared, "don't act crazy, you guys are staying". They sat on the couch with Haley in between and discussed about some soccer game. Beth spoke in low voice standing between us which I didn't hear as I was lost eyeing them and then I head Sam speak, "Apparently Eddie thought that Jay has a child and he kept a secret from him so yesterday he went to confront Jay at his place and he found out that Kay had a baby which she hid it from him and you guys already knew about it!" Beth gave her an understanding look and Sam continued, "I heard they both got in to a fight!" I eyed both of them and they started giggling. I heard Haley crying and went to get her from Jay, "I need to change her diaper, I'll be back!" Eddie got up and said the most unexpected words, "Let me help you with that." I eyed him surprisingly but let him follow me anyway.
