She managed to raise Jason's hand off her waist and stood up from the bed.
"Urggh, why won't this baby just sleep?" Jason asked tiredly, his voice hoarse with sleep, she rolled her eyes at Jason's sleeping form.
He was more than a bit grumpy, Rhea couldn't fault him, they hadn't been having good sleep for the last two months, Theo hadn't started sleeping through the month, hell he didn't seem like he was sleeping at all.
She walked into the adjourning room that they had converted to the nursery, a wailing Theo was in his crib, flaying his closed fists, his face red with anger, he still looked angelic when he cried.
She yawned as she picked him up, he wasn't as soft and delicate as he was and he seemed to he growing everyday, even though she picked him up, he cont

"Babe, you're back," Jason said, surprise lacing his tone as he noticed her standing by the door.

She asked in her baby voice as she picked Theo up, littering kisses all over his face and her baby started giggling, his small voice angelic to her ears, he was definitely a mummy's boy."So no kisses for me?" Jason asked pouting a little, he looked so much like Theo when he did that."You are such a baby," she teased propping Theo on her hip and squeezing his cheeks, before she could tease him more, he planted a wet kiss on her lips, as she gasped in surprise he took the opportunity to move his tongue through her lips.

Rhea asked suspiciously, both her father and brother were fidgeting, well her brother was fidgeting and her father was trying to look like he was in power and all."Nothing of your concern," her father said offhandedly and sat on his chair, Rhea just glared at her father but he didn't even falter under her harsh gaze.She wanted to prod further, but she decided to keep her mouth shut, she would investigate

She didn't understand it then, but everything was becoming clearer and clearer to her.After she had wiped her tears, she began to see sense in her brother's words.

"We need to talk," Jason said in a serious voice as he stood by her door."About what?" She asked rudely."We should come out so we don't wake Theo," he said and Rhea came out of the room, closing the door carefully behind herself."So what do you want to talk about?" She asked again and Jason looked so resigned that she felt pity for him, but the pity quickly dissolved into anger when she remembered what he did to her."The divorce, is it really what you want?" He asked and she was shocked, she hadn't expected him to ask that.She didn't really know what to think about the question, she wanted the divorce, at least that was what she thought she wanted and so she gave him a stiff nod.Jason seemed disappointed by her answer as he swallowed. "Well if it is what you want, I will grant you your wish," he said his voice sounding low and defeated.Rhea would be
