Hushed Misery

Pierce's POV

Kelly is sleeping on the long couch while I'm sitting on the single couch across from her. I wanna touch her. I wanna kiss her but whenever I think about how she hid the truth from me even when she said she already forgave me makes me so angry. She made me believe that the child I learned to love was another man's child. My own flesh and blood doesn't even know that I,m her real father. It breaks my heart. I kept on making my mind believe that I deserve this because I hurt her but I just couldn't ignore the pain,

My daughter almost died. I couldn't accept that my daughter had to go through a life and death situation first before I learned about the truth, Why does it have to be like that? My daughter almost died. I almost lost her without even knowing that she's my own flesh and blood.

"Daddy Pierce..." That soft voice interrupted my thoughts.

I quickly walked towards her bed and sat on the chair beside it. I caressed her cheek. "You're awake."

She stared at me. "Are you crying daddy Pierce?"

I touched my cheek and I realized she's right. I immediately wiped it and smiled at her. "No, princess. I'm not."

She smiled and caressed my fist. "Does your wound hurt, daddy Pierce?"

My eyes dropped on my bruised fist. I was so angry and in pain that I punched the wall in the chapel of

I this hospital. I thought I already released all the anger, pain and disappointment but I was wrong. Whenever I see Kelly, I remember the pain. Was this the same pain she felt when I hurt her? Is she just punishing me for what I did before? "Daddy Pierce..."

"Just daddy," I said and smiled at my daughter again. "Call me daddy, princess. Just daddy."

She smiled and nodded. "Yes, daddy!"

I hugged her gently. I love my daughter so much. I have already loved her even without the truth revealed and I will never accept it if it happened that she considered Klay as her father. If that asshole didn't hurt Kelly, would she let him father my child? Thinking about it breaks me. I couldn't even picture it because even before I do, the anger in my heart is ruining the picture.

"Daddy, did you and mommy fight?"

My lips parted as I looked down at my daughter. "Why would you ask that?"

She looked at her mom, sad. "My mommy's eyes are sad, daddy."

I was lost for words. I don't know what to say, I can't tell her about what happened when she was unconscious. She's too young to hear it and too young to understand the adults.

"My mommy's eyes are always sad before we come here, daddy. But whenever we're with you, she's happy."

I swallowed hard. Guilt is slowly eating me wide-eyed. Our daughter noticed it too. I'm sorry, baby. I'm always the reason for your mom's sadness.

"Daddy, can I ask you something?"

I nodded and smiled at her. "Sure, sweetheart. What is it?"

She glanced at Kelly again before she leaned closer to me and whispered. "Do you know my daddy? I
