So Close to the Truth Kelly's POV

"More! More!" Snow said happily.

I smiled and inserted more tokens. They're playing basketball. Pierce was carrying her on his shoulders so she could shoot the ball while I was standing beside them, giving Snow the balls.

She wasn't scoring but she's enjoying. Pierce was also laughing with her and I couldn't help my smile as I watched them. I never thought this would ever happen. I thought Snow is already happy with only me beside her, but seeing her now, I get it that she could be beyond happy with her father.

After the arcade, we went to the restaurant to eat. It's dinner time and I can see that Snow is already tired. While eating, her eyes are already hooded.

I didn't bring my car, so we rode Pierce's car since he offered a ride. I didn't refuse because aside from Snow being already sleepy and tired, I wanted to talk to him.

After what I witnessed today, I've decided. I want to tell Pierce everything and admit to him that Snow is his daughter. It scares me. I'm nervous. But I can't hide this anymore. Tomorrow, I'm attending Phoebe's birthday party. If I tell him tonight about Snow's real father, I'm going to bring her tomorrow to the party and grab that chance to introduce her to her grandparents.

"You okay?" Pierce asked when he stopped the car because of the traffic.

I glanced at Snow behind us. She's fallen asleep. I turned to Pierce again and stared at his face. "Can I talk to you later?"

He licked his bottom lip as I saw hesitation in his eyes. He swallowed hard and slowly nodded. "Yeah... sure."

I nodded and looked outside the window. My heart is racing inside my chest. I don't know how to start this but I need to tell him tonight.

When we reached the condominium tower, my heartbeat doubled. He entered the parking area and parked his car silently. Į opened the door beside me and watched him as he opened the door behind and gently carried Snow in his arms. I grabbed the stuffed toy Snow dropped and closed the door.

Pierce glanced at me. "I'll carry her to your unit."

I nodded. "Yeah. Let's...talk upstairs."
