53. Dilemma

"Mommy!" Storm’s voice broke through my thoughts, and I looked up to find him standing in front of me.

Now it was just me and Storm in the house. Ellie was with Hunter, and Mama Iris... well, I felt alone, and it made the overthinking worse.

This might just be his way of showing he cared."Dad!" Storm came running toward us, his towel wrapped tightly around him."Storm, you didn’t change yet?" I quickly moved to stop him, but he was faster than me, jumping right into Shadrach’s arms."Hey, champ," Shadrach smiled, catching him effortlessly."Let him change first," I rolled my eyes, though a small smile tugged at my lips."It’s okay.

The doctor's inquiry made Wynter gulp nervously as she shook her head in response."Alright, let me explain the process since there's no turning back now. Since you're still in your first trimester, the abortion process is relatively straightforward as the baby is not fully developed.

If she wasn't, I'd be so disappointed in myself for not recognizing her.I stood there, taking in the sight of her.

She was exactly how I had pictured her, even more stunning in person.My heart was telling me to go hug her tight, to pour out all my emotions, but my joy turned to concern when I saw a man next to her.
