I was trapped again in my thoughts when I heard Aqui cry. My parents were in charge of Aqui in the morning. But during the night, Felicity watches over him. I didn't oblige him because he was tired from the office after working all day but he didn't want to listen. 
The baby sleeps in the nursery so he also sleeps there every night. There was a bed there, but he had a long pair of legs that went over when he stretched.  
Aqui continued crying, that was why I already decided to go check on him, thinking Felicity was in deep sleep and he couldn't hear the baby crying. When I was right in front of the door, his cries stopped, but that didn't stop me from entering the nursery. 
My son was not in his crib. I found him sleeping next to Felicity on the single-size bed. Aqui was next to the wall and Felicity was sleeping on his side when he suddenly moved and lay on his back.  
I immediately stepped backward after getting afraid to get noticed. I didn't want to disturb his sleep because I knew how tired he was during the day.  
I chose to stay in the nursery for a while. It was amusing to watch them both sleep. No doubt they were father and son in how they slept. 
Both of their right arms were raised and their heads were turned to the left side. Their mouths, with the same thin lips, were slightly open. I couldn't stop myself from comparing them to each other. With them that close, I could see how many resemblances they both have, which I found unfair.  
I crossed my arms on my chest and pouted when I realized that.  
After watching them for a few more minutes, I decided to leave, but when I noticed Felicity's blanket was already on the floor, I picked it up and slowly put it above him. My eyes automatically stared at his face while I was doing it and I suddenly remembered what he asked me when we were still in the hospital. 
I meant what I told him that day. He was not the kind of man a woman should feel ashamed of. He might be gay, but he can make someone pregnant. Give anyone an adorable child, just like what he gave me. He could even do that as a business. 
As I thought about that, there was a sudden twitching pain inside my chest. Like fine little pinches that I didn't understand what they were about.  
My best friend deserved happiness too. I won't stop him once he decides to settle down with anyone. I never dreamed of being a villain in other people's lives. I already went through that phase of my life and I just want my son to be the center of my life at that time. 
I decided to leave after a few minutes of staying there. I was going back to my room when I unexpectedly met Dad on my way back. He was carrying his laptop and holding it next to his ears with his other hand. 
He was looking exhausted, but he still managed to smile at me.  
"Hi, princess," he greeted me after saying goodbye to the person he was talking to on the phone. 
"Hi, Dad!" I tried to put energy into making myself sound cheerful enough, even deep inside my heart. I feel guilty for making him and my mother tired recently because they need to be with me and manage the businesses they left in Turkey at the same time. 
I was beyond thankful that I have parents like them. Even though they were already struggling to manage their time, they still chose to stay with me in the country to make sure I had enough support, love, and care.  
"Did you go to the nursery?" he asked when he got closer. He halted and slid his phone inside his pants pocket while looking at me.  
"Yes, Dad. I just went to check on Aqui. He was crying a while ago, but he went back to sleep right away when Felicity took him out of his crib," I answered. 
"I'm glad he did. He was just like you when you were that small. You never gave us too much headache at night," he replied, which immediately made me smile.  
"I thought Aqui took everything from his father. They both have so much resemblance and I couldn't see anything he got from me," I uttered, which made my dad laugh.  
"Even if he got everything from his father, we would still love him the same," Dad said after he chuckled, giving me a meaningful look before we both went silent.  
I had no words. Although I agreed with what he said, Felicity had been the person my father deeply adored. He treated him like his son and even though my dad was not the type of person with so many words to say, he would always show his love, showing how much he cared for those people that mattered to him, but in my opinion, it was not right for us to let Felicity stay in the mansion. 
"Are you and Mom not against this kind of setup, Dad? Felicity has his own life," I bravely asked, thinking I could never get a chance to open that topic to any of my parents. 
"Your Mom and I knew about that, however, Felicity wanted this. We didn't ask him to do it. He was the one who requested it." This revelation struck me.  
"B-but why? Did he tell you why he's doing this? I know he wants to be a father to Aqui, but he could do that without being with us in so many ways—" 
"Let him... just let him do what he thinks is better," Dad interrupted me.  
It seemed I had no say anymore when it came to that matter. They have already decided. 
"Have you noticed how amazing a man your best friend is?" My brow furrowed when he referred to Felicity as a man. 
Felicity was the best friend I have ever had, but Dad referring to him as a man despite knowing who he was made me want to poke him. He might be dreaming. 
"What do you mean exactly, Dad?" I asked. If giving me a child made Felicity a man, Dad was not a valid reason.  
"All I want to say is that I'm so impressed with all the things he has done for you. If I were to compare him to your ex-husband, Felicity is greater than him as a man without looking at how he talks, moves, dresses, and all." Dad made me shut up.  
I agreed with what he said. Felicity was beyond compare to that person, despite being gay.  
"If ever you would open your heart again, choose somebody like him or, if you like, you can consider—" 
"D-Dad..." I stopped whatever he wanted to say. I knew he would open up about the wedding he suggested. I could see into his eyes. 
"I'm just saying..." he told me instead, smiling mischievously, but I could feel he was into that idea. 
Dad said good night. He gave me a tight hug and kissed my forehead before heading to their room. I followed him until he disappeared before I headed to my room.  
He might be out of sight, but Dad left me in deep thought, which I carried until I went to sleep that night. He couldn't hide anymore how much he adored Felicity.
