Cara's POV

Without a second thought, I block Alaric's new phone number immediately.

And while I'm at it, I decide to block Matthew Bedford's contact information, too.

After that ridiculous proposal Matthew tried in the hospital the other day, he's been trying to reach me constantly. I've ignored every attempt.

I don't know what that Matthew Bedford is up to, but I just can't trust a man who would try so hard to marry someone he barely knows. Something isn't right about it... But it's not my problem. If I have anything to do with it, I'll never have to see that Matthew Bedford again. I rest my head back on the pillow of my bed, pushing away all thoughts of the frustrating men in my life. I fall into a deep, restful sleep.

The next morning, I peel my eyes open and see two bright blue eyes staring directly into my own. I jump, shocked at the unexpected nearness, instantly rousing myself from any traces of sleep.

"Mommy! You're awake!" my daughter Mia yells with glee.

I laugh, "Yes, I'm certainly awake now," I tell her affectionately, pulling her little body into the warm of my bed for a large hug.

I hear a little cough and see Ethan standing in the doorway, staring at Mia meaningfully. The little boy coughs again.

What's this?

Mia's eyes dart back to Ethan quickly. Then she turns back to me, "I need to tell you something, Mommy." Her voice is serious.

"Anything, my darling," I tell her. "You can always tell me anything."

Mia looks at me seriously, then darts her eyes to the ceiling, to my arms, to my feet, to everywhere and anywhere except my face. Finally, I hear her little voice speak, "Mommy, I'm sorry." "Sorry?! Whatever for?" I ask her, my voice full of concern.

"I'm sorry for asking you for a Daddy...I just love you so much and-" Mia's voice starts to
