Sydney remembered clearly that she had only told Julian that<\/p>\n
her adoptive parents\u2019 deaths were caused by Eloise. She had<\/p>\n
never mentioned Flint.<\/p>\n
Julian showed no surprise at her question. He walked to the bed,<\/p>\n
sat down, and tucked the blanket around her before he<\/p>\n
answered, \u201cI don\u2019t just know who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
He paused. He noticed the confusion in her eyes, brushed the<\/p>\n
loose hair back from her ear, and continued. \u201c! also know that<\/p>\n
Eloise killed your adoptive parents to avenge him, using the<\/p>\n
network Flint left behind before he went to prison.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sydney froze. She had not expected him to know more than she<\/p>\n
did.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlint was released not long ago,\u201d she said slowly. \u201cHe\u2019s been<\/p>\n
keeping a low profile since then. He probably wants to stay quiet<\/p>\n
for now and avoid direct conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n
The thought settled, and she followed it through. \u201cSo we used<\/p>\n
tonight to see if we could trace him out?\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian nodded, approval clear in his expression.<\/p>\n
If Flint was avoiding direct contact, his power had likely thinned<\/p>\n
during his years inside. If he was given time to rebuild, things<\/p>\n
\u2014-<\/p>\n
would only become more difficult<\/p>\n
For Julian, Flint would inevitably help Eloise fight for control. For<\/p>\n
Sydney, the danger was even more immediate. They had to drag<\/p>\n
him out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
Sydney pressed her lips together. \u201cWill you be in danger?\u201d<\/p>\n
After tonight, Julian would leave no opening for anyone to hurt<\/p>\n
her again.<\/p>\n
But what about him? Risk was unavoidable. In the past, he had<\/p>\n
often chosen that path. Cornered, then reborn.<\/p>\n
Julian held her gaze. \u201cI won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n
He saw the worry on her face. He knew Elliot and the others had<\/p>\n

told her plenty about his past.<\/p>\n
Back then, all he wanted was power, and he wanted it fast. Only<\/p>\n
with leverage against Eloise could he pull Sydney back under his<\/p>\n
protection. Because of that, he often hurt himself as much as he<\/p>\n
hurt the enemy.<\/p>\n
Now things were different. He took her warm, soft hand and<\/p>\n
nodded. \u201cPrecious, before, | had nothing to lose. Now | do. You<\/p>\n
and Grandma need me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014-<\/p>\n
She understood what he meant.<\/p>\n
It was not that they had not needed him before. It was that he<\/p>\n
had been unable to give them anything then. He could not even<\/p>\n
guarantee his own life. All he could do was gamble again and<\/p>\n
again.<\/p>\n
Now he could protect them. That was why he would not risk<\/p>\n
himself lightly.<\/p>\n
Sydney looped an arm around his neck and reminded him gently,<\/p>\n
\u201cNot just me and Grandma. There\u2019s the baby too.\u201d<\/p>\n
She freed one hand and pointed at her rounded belly.<\/p>\n
Before he could respond, she sucked in a sharp breath. \u201cAh.<\/p>\n
His expression tightened. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe, w-well\u2026\u201d she stammered, flustered with excitement. \u201cShe<\/p>\n
just kicked me. Did you feel that?\u201d<\/p>\n
She guided his hand to the spot.<\/p>\n
\u201cBaby, this is Daddy,\u201d she said softly. \u201cKick Daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian watched her, momentarily dazed<\/p>\n
She was already acting like a mother.<\/p>\n
\u2014-<\/p>\n
He felt a little awkward and was about to pull his hand back<\/p>\n
when something tapped against his palm. It was light, subtle,<\/p>\n
and unmistakable.<\/p>\n
Sydney beamed. \u201cSee? Our daughter\u2019s so smart. She<\/p>\n
understands me.\u201d<\/p>\n
His lips curved, and he nodded. \u201cMm. A smart baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
He had promised her that he would treat the child as his own.<\/p>\n
That meant she truly was his daughter.<\/p>\n
When their eyes met, Sydney caught the flicker that crossed his<\/p>\n
gaze. She could not name it. She only knew that if he knew the<\/p>\n
truth, he would be even happier.<\/p>\n
The fear from earlier still lingered in her chest. She decided not<\/p>\n
to wait for some perfect moment and revealed it outright. \u201d<\/p>\n
Julian, she really is your daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
She did not know what would happen <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
