He smiled slightly as she spoke about how they were good and how she understood how hard it had to be for them with the language barrier and being far from their home. And it was hard.It was hard for him. “No, you’re right. It is difficult, but I think they did better than I did myself. They’re stronger than me.” He said, his voice falling at the ending of it, though he recovered smiling once again when she spoke of Chloe being there for them as well, “They both love Chloe.” He knew that for sure. It wasn’t something he was really worried about. Even if his father didn't like her, Flavio liked her enough for the both of them. It had to help that they were close in age. “Boys are a little hard to handle. My mother was only blessed with two, my brother and I. I wasn’t a hard kid to handle and I was well old enough to help her with my brother.” Tiziano wasn’t entirely sure if there would have been three of them if his mother didn’t lose the baby that was before Flavio. All he knew is that it was hard for her and the feeling rubbed off on him. Enough that he wrote a song about the experience and later put it onto an album. When Chloe stuck her tongue out at him, he narrowed his eyes at her, shaking his head lightly.
Tiziano stared at her for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. He didn't tell her but now he was feeling bad about even given the kid his last name. Yes, he and Chloe were married and technically she had his last name,maybe. He wasn’t entirely sure if she even went through with it when he brought it up a while ago. Though as he said, if she didn’t want to, he wasn’t going to make her take his name. It didn’t have to be that way. But now, as he thought about it, it had more of a right to have Chloe’s name than his own. “I guess,we could hyphenate our names so it has them both” He said lightly, not really knowing if any of them heard what he had said before turning his head from them, rubbing his face tiredly. When she replied, he looked back towards her with a small yawn. “We have time, yes.” He said with a gentle nod of his head.Though that time was passing by a lot faster than he liked to hope. He wasn't sure if he was prepared for the time that everything fell onto her shoulders. That she was going to have a child and everything that came along with it.
He had been staring where Chloe walked off until he heard Teri's voice, causing him to stiffen slightly as the words registered to him, causing him to slowly to look towards her once again. As she spoke, he sighed gently,eyes falling towards the floor for a moment before he looked up towards her once again with a small frown. She was apologizing to him for what she had said. That she thought they had been moving too fast, but the truth was, he believed she was right. He only found himself doubting his actions more and more as time progressed and having time to lay in the bedroom or bathroom getting sick over and over allowed him time to think on things. When she spoke about her ex-husband, he remembered Chloe saying something about it in the past. That maybe it was the reason why she was so doubtful when it came to their relationship before. He said that he wasn’t him, that he wouldn’t be him, and that it wasn't fair to compare him to her father. Teri was afraid of the same thing happening to-her daughter. They both had been really hurt, and he had to understand where they were coming from. He didn’t have that. It couldn’t understand that pain.But he did know that he didn’t want to deal that pain to someone else. Looking up from the floor and back towards Teri when she finished speaking. “I don't know if I really deserve and apology.” The apology only made him feel guilt.She must not know about anything that had happened between Chloe and him. The day he ended up in the hospital and what he was dealing with now.
“I don’t think you really owe me an apology.” He replied lightly, scratching at his wrist through his shirt. “I think you were right about the thoughts you had dealing with the two of us. We were at different points in our lives, and I was blind to that at first. I loved Chloe, that’s all I knew, and that I was tired of being alone. I’m not attracted to women, so it wasn’t lust. No, I just loved her that much….I do love her that much.” He let off a deep sigh as he continued, if she was going to be honest with him, he needed to be honest with her. “But I made changes, I decided I would wait until she was ready to pursue those things that I currently wanted.But because of mistakes, things didn’t play off as well as I would have hoped.I didn’t want us to get married the way we did. If she didn’t want to be married ever, then I would be content with that. If she did, then I would have liked to give her what she wanted.” He would never feel good about that until it was fixed. He would give her a real wedding whenever she wanted one. “As for the child,I thought---I thought we had done everything right. But I guess not. I want a child, yes, but I don’t know if Chloe really is or not and I feel bad about it.”He looked down towards the ground once again before shaking is head, “I was upset with what I thought you said about me, but you have the right to feel as you wish. I don’t think you stepped over any boundaries.” He should be able to understand more than he had about why she felt the way she did. She was her mother. Of course she wasn’t going to like him completely in fear of her daughter making the same mistake as she had. "I'm not a perfect man, and I've done wrong and made many mistakes. But for now on, I'm going to do what is right. My life is going to change once the baby is born. If I can't be the best husband, son, or friend. I will be the best father I can possibly be."
