My apologies for the delay in getting part 7 out. The story is coming close to it's conclusion and this part just took me longer to write. Thank you Kevin for your contributions and your feedback. My writing is improving because of you.

Alan managed to be able to secure a room for him and Victoria at the hotel he stayed in when he dropped her off just five months earlier. They didn't say much on the way as they drove to the hotel, as Victoria was understandably still very emotional. Alan kept glancing at Victoria's round belly. He was still awestruck at the thought that Victoria was carrying his child. His daughter, his lover, was now about to be the mother of his child. So many questions filled his mind as he drove.
They got to the hotel and checked in. Once in the room, not the same one they had before, Victoria had calmed down enough where she felt she could talk.
"I'm sorry Dad," she said as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Alan walked over to her, knelt down in front of her and said, "You have nothing to be sorry for sweetheart." Leaning forward he tenderly kissed her. Then reaching under her shirt he lifted it up to expose her growing belly. Placing his hands on it, he kissed it several times. "I love you Victoria and I love our baby."
Tears were flowing from Victoria's eyes again as she sobbed, "I didn't want to worry you Dad. I wanted to tell you, in person, but not like how it went down. It should have been a special moment. But I didn't even know what you would think of it."
Alan couldn't love Victoria any more than he did at that moment. "Sweetheart, I hope you could never believe that I would leave you alone to raise this child. I will support you in whatever you chose to do. If you are willing to have my baby, then I will stand by you and raise our child together with you. I will even give you more babies if that's what you wanted from me. I love you Victoria. I never, in a million years, dreamt of us having a child together but now that we are I couldn't be happier."
Victoria squeezed Alan tight as her tears fell freely on to his shoulder. She couldn't believe what he just said. Lifting her tear stained face up from off of his shoulder, she placed her lips on his and kissed him with all the love and passion she was feeling for him in that moment. Just as passionately, Alan returned her kiss. Reaching his hands behind her head and gently grasping her hair, his mouth eagerly tore in to hers. Her mouth opened instantly and their tongues collided and hungrily their mouths sought out one another after so many months of missing each other. They stayed in their kiss for several moments.
Alan eased himself down from off of his knees, and into a more comfortable sitting position at Victoria's feet. Looking up at her, he felt that there were questions he needed answers to.
"Sweetheart, what you said to your mom, how long have you known about it?"
Victoria's eyes began to well up with tears again, but Alan placed his hand on her knee and told her, "Baby, its okay. I'm not angry or in any way shape or form upset with you."
Brushing her tears away with her hands, Victoria began, "Well, last September I was able to hop a ride home. I thought I'd surprise you and mom. Instead, Mom surprised me. She was engaged in oral sex with Patricia, her nurse, in OUR house. She didn't see me. I left right after she and Patricia did. I didn't know how to tell you."
Alan sat quietly for a moment pondering what Victoria had just said. "If I may ask," he finally said, "were your mother's actions what prompted you to do what you did for me?"
Averting her eyes, she nodded yes. "I love you dad and I wanted to do something nice for you. I knew things weren't well between you and mom. I just wanted you to be happy. I didn't even know how you'd take it. But, I never anticipated all of this," as her hands motioned towards her growing baby bump.
His eyes focused on her stomach, Alan again quietly meditative on everything she'd just said.
"Sweetheart, be honest with me, don't say what you think I may want to hear. I want to know your heart. What do you want to do sweetheart?"
"About the baby?" Victoria's eyes widened as she asked.
"Yes, the baby, you and I, your mother, and all of this."
"Well, I have already made up my mind that I'm keeping the baby. I have a midwife who I've been getting my prenatal care from. She has assured me that the baby is healthy with no congenital defects. If you chose to stay with me, and raise our baby together, that would make me very happy. But, if you didn't want to be this baby's father and only be the role of it's grandfather, and that's what made you happy, I'd be fine with it."
Alan interrupted her right there. "I would NEVER leave you to raise this baby on your own sweetheart, and I don't want to be this baby's grandfather. I am it's father. "
"You would stay with me? What would people say? I'm your daughter. Everyone knows that." Victoria said apprehensively.
"Yes, I would and I will take care of you and our child. Honestly, I don't care what people say. I love you Victoria. You're my daughter, and I've loved you your whole life. But now, I've been given the opportunity to love you as a woman and the mother of my child. You've given me more than I could ever imagine. You've been a wonderful daughter. You're an extraordinary young woman. You're a sexy and sensual lover. You gave your heart and your body to me. Now you're giving me something your mother refused to. You're giving me another child."
