In raising my children, I have lost my mind but found my soul. – Lisa T. Shepherd
In the last few weeks, Helen swore her belly had doubled in size every week. When they were in Hawaii, she blamed it on the rich foods and eating just about everything she wanted. But when they got back, her belly continued to grow.And grow.The stress of the fire and Jolene’s attack did not help any.A year ago, her life was completely different. She struggled to pay her bills. New clothes would have been a luxury. Another baby was not even a thought.And now, she lived with a man who too care of everything. Pampered her in ways that she still could not even imagine. And would give her anything and everything that she needed or wanted.Including his baby.Today, her heartburn was horrible.

He placed the tray on the dresser and then sat on the bed and gathered her close. “It’s okay, Kitten.”She shook her head as more sobs racked her body.
