when she needed them the most. I’m definitely not happy about her being with him all this time, but I know all of this is my fault because I never listened to her, and I will pay the consequences for that decision for the rest of my life. I will always know that it’s my fault I have missed out a lot of amazing milestones in my daughter’s life.
    I do believe her when she says she never slept with him though, but that doesn’t explain the pictures. Whatever reason he had for doing what he did, won’t fly with me. I’m beginning to think Trent is a psychopath and I have no idea how I missed it all those years. I scroll through the numbers and hit call on Trent’s name.
    “Maya, you better be on your way home.”
    “Hello Trent,” I say.
    “Jaxon, congratulations, it’s a girl,” he actually has the nerve to say to me.
    “I’m only going to say this once. Stay away from Maya and stay away from my daughter. I don’t know how you orchestrated all of this, but I do know if you come anywhere near either one of them, I will kill you this time,” I threaten.
    “You really think I could break up your happy marriage and steal your wife. You are delusional. And as for Ava, I’m the only father she knows and if I have any say in it, I’ll continue being the only father she knows. Why would she want you, a man that actually looked at her pictures and didn’t want her? So Jaxon, I’ll only say this once, if Maya and Ava aren’t on my doorstep tomorrow, you will regret it. Have a good night with my family,” he says, before hanging up. This is going to be a lot harder than I thought. That man has definitely lost his mind.
    “Hey,” Callie says coming outside. “Sorry to bother you, but Leighton called and the girls are hungry. I need to go feed them.”
    “Okay, I’m sorry about all of this,” I say.
    “You have nothing to be sorry about. It was an honest mistake. Just make sure you don’t lose her this time. I really want all the family around we can get,” she says smiling. It definitely wasn’t an honest mistake. More like a nightmare mistake, but at least she is trying to make me feel better about it. Maya walks out and I hand her phone back to her. She doesn’t ask how my call went I’m sure she knows him well enough to know it was bad.,
    “Are you ready to meet your daughter?” she asks. I smile back at her and nod. I have never been more ready for anything.
     
    Callie and Ash ride with Brody since Leighton took her jeep with the car seats. Collin took my truck and I drive Maya in her car. Thankfully she didn’t argue with me when I asked for her keys. The fact that she’s being so nice to me after she has every right to hate me only tells me how scared she really is of Trent. I’m not sure if she has always been scared of him or if it’s just the events of today, but I’m trying really hard not to upset her anymore.
    “Why did you come back to town?” I ask, mostly out of curiosity.
    “My grandmother died.”
    “I’m so sorry. I had no idea or I would have gone to the funeral,” I say. I always loved her grandmother. Unlike her parents, she always welcomed me with open arms.
    “There wasn’t a funeral. You know my family. We don’t need to remember people when they die. We just need to keep their memories alive without seeing them at their worst. They didn’t even tell me until a week after she was buried. They sent me a letter from their lawyer saying I had one day to go through her house and get anything I wanted. That was yesterday,” she says sadly.
    “That’s awful, I am so sorry. I always loved your grandma, she was awesome. Did you lose touch with her too?” I ask.
    “No, at first I talked to her a lot. She even came to Atlanta when Ava was born and stayed for a week. She was a life saver. I begged her to move there to be with me a few months later, but she was already in such bad health, she didn’t want to burden me by having to take care of her too. She moved into
