Alisha had intercepted Tyson's two letters and three telephone calls. She did not want Rayne to get involved with him again, after the way he had treated her all those months ago. But now, Rayne had a young baby, and Tyson had wrote and telephoned several times to try and convince Rayne to let him see 'his' child. The last letter had stated simply that he would see them both soon. Alisha knew from Rayne how impulsive Tyson could be, and she knew it wouldn't be long before he showed up. Now, he was stood on the doorstep, demanding to see Rayne and the baby.
"Tyson, I can't let you in. She won't want to see you. You can't leave her to cope with pregnancy on her own, and then come around here shouting the odds." Alisha told him.
"I just want to see them. If it's mine, I want to sort something out. Some access or something." Tyson explained.
"If that were true you would have been there for the birth… Or at least the next day, but where were you Tyson? You weren't with her, and you weren't interested, and now you expect us to bend over backwards for you? Go home, Tyson." Alisha stated, nastily.
"I was there. I went there every day for a week, but she never came in. I didn't know if she was going to have a home birth, or use a private clinic or anything." Tyson tried to convince her.
"No… The baby was a week late… They brought the birth on in the end." Alisha confessed.
"Please, I just want to see them. If she tells me to go, I will, and I won't come back, I swear it. I have to try though. They're my family." Tyson told her, calmer now.
"No Tyson. Tiger was your family and you accused him of sleeping with Rayne. Rayne was your family until you almost raped her for something she didn't do. And that little baby is absolutely nothing to do with you." Alisha accused. Tyson felt anger and guilt build up inside him, and he simply pushed past Alisha and into the house. He strode upstairs as Alisha followed behind him, shouting at him to not go upstairs. Tyson tried the first door to find an empty bedroom. The next door Tyson tried revealed a beautifully decorated nursery. Tyson scanned the room, and saw the back of a young girl sat on a baby's play mat. Tyson crept closer to find that it was Rayne, breast feeding a young baby. Tyson watched them, gazing upon Rayne for the first time in almost a year, and his baby for the first time ever.
"Rayne…" Tyson said, quietly. Rayne turned to look at him. Tyson looked at the shocked expression on her face, and she stood quickly, the baby still feeding from her now enormous breast. She turned away from him, not wanting him to see the baby, or even herself.
"Get out. I don't want you here. Go home." Rayne told him, coldly. Tyson put his hand on her shoulder and turned her to face him. He looked down and tears filled his eyes.
"I just wanted to see you. Both of you. I wanted to see my daug… My… I don't even know if it's a girl or a boy. I wanted to see my child." Tyson told her. The baby stopped feeding, and Rayne placed it in the cot. She buttoned her top back up and turned to Tyson, tears streaming down her face.
"Boy. I called him Christian. Christian Harley Delucia. And it's a bit late if you don't like it." Rayne told him.
"Delucia… You gave him my name?" Tyson asked.
"Of course. I thought about calling him my name, but I wanted him to have his Dad's name, so he knows I never wanted to keep him from you." Rayne explained. Tyson dropped his head. His heart told him to sweep them both up and take them home with him, but his head kept reminding him Christian may be Tiger's. He walked over to the cot and looked down at him. He had dark eyes and the beginnings of dark hair. Tyson could see Rayne's face when he looked at him, and even his own, but he still had to be sure.
