💕One Night Stand
Violet and Evander meet one night and have a one night stand. Three months later, Violet finds out that she is pregnant. What she never expected was to find her baby daddy living in the house that her grandmother left for her in a trust.
Evander unfortunately had some trust issues that he hadn't dealt with from a previous partner. When Violet came to tell Evander she got the brunt of his frustration and what he hadn't dealt with. They came to an understanding of what they were going to do for a paternity test and moved forward with it. Once they received the results they each needed time to figure out how they were going to navigate their relationship.
Violet also had her own issues she needed to work on because of a previous partner. Violet knew that she wanted to see if she could make a new relationship work with Evander whether it be a friendship or romantic relationship. Violet showed so much strength to be going through so much as a single woman now soon to be mother. God love Violet because she was also one of the most stubborn characters that I have seen within the universe of these characters. I love Violet and I know that she just needs to know that her partner loves her.
I loved how involved their families were especially their parents! I was so glad to see Violets sisters came to visit as much as they did and push her to see a different point for view when it came to Evander. Even though she really struggled to see any other view than hers.
Evander also struggled with coming forward and just communicating how he felt with Violet. That was something they both struggled with and I wish they both would have worked on. I think it would have negated a lot of stress for them both. I definitely have to give Evander big props because he definitely listened and paid attention because he made sure that she had all of the things she wanted and needed for the nursery.
