This Love
Although I was so mad with Queenie for not telling Cameron about his daughter, I'm glad she didn't try to fight him to see her. I still don't understand how she talked herself into thinking that he'd not want the baby, once she found out she was pregnant. He all but told her he loved her after their vacation fling, so her line of thinking baffled me. I love that her brother, Avery, didn't hold back by telling her she needed to tell that man about his kid. The love and support that her brother and mom gave her though was so beautiful. Even in her stubbornness, she had their love. I'm glad that she finally just let her guard down and let Cameron fully into her heart. He just wanted to love her and their daughter and she saw the genuine, good hearted man he was and I'm glad.
Cameron was a man after my own heart. I don't even want to imagine the hurt he felt knowing he'd missed almost 2 years of his daughters life, yet I'm glad he dove right in and Cammi, his name sake, loved him as if he'd been in her life from birth. I was beyond furious with him for having that slip up with his ex, Sabrina. I thought he'd messed with her with a sober mind, so to find out he was beyond drunk and she took that as prime time to get at him, kind of eased the anger of the situation. This chick was super grimy. Who pokes holes to trap a man who clearly wants nothing to do with you, in hopes that a baby will make him magically want to be a family with you🤨; just delusional 🤦🏾♀️. I felt no remorse or sadness for Sabrina. I'll just say that.
I love that even though the situation was rather bizarre, Queenie loved CJ, the baby Cameron and Sabrina made, as her own. She loved him with as much fierceness as she did her own daughter. I'm glad she head a level head when it came to Sabrina bc this whole situation could've been much worse had she given her another beat down. I also like how Cameron listened to Queenie when she told him about how Sabrina was moving. The open communication Cameron and Queenie has was endearing to read; it definitely made this story that much more sweet.
Again, another short story, yet full all in the same. I hope this isn't the last we see of this new bunch.
Great read. Highly recommend
