2024-10-29 19:42:56A few hours later: Kane and Junior's mother are sitting in her living room
Kane decided to stay for dinner. The thought of going home is not appealing since he's going to an empty house."Do you think she's coming tomorrow?" Junior's mother asks me for the 100th time today. And every time she asks me my heart breaks a little bit. I don't know if she's coming or not and I'm afraid to ask her.
Things are different now. She's mad at me, she's not really talking to me, so I don't know. She made a promise to my son that she'd show up to his regional final soccer game months ago. This is before I decide to be an ass and make her feel left out. The game is tomorrow so we still have 24 hours to figure out what to do. I could tell Junior to not expect her to show, to avoid disappointment. But I don't know if I want to have that conversatio

It's D-day and I'm nervous. It doesn't help that I'm sitting in the sun. I feel hot, sweaty and uncomfortable. The bleachers we're sitting on are right under the scorching sun. It baffles my mind that no one thought to create shade for the spectators. It's going to be a very long 90 minutes. I fan my face trying to get the cool air into my face but that doesn't help at all. I look around at the parents sitting in the bleachers with me. The majority of them are coupled up and I wish it was the same for me. I wish Shalom was sitting next to me. I feel terrible for the way things turned out. And hate to admit it but I'm a coward. I should have called her and told her why I was distant. Make her understand that I was sad and I didn't know how to come to her and be vulnerable.I always feel like I need to be strong for her, I never want her to feel like I can't protect her.Sharing my weaker side is terrifying

"Thank you for coming today," I say to Shalom as walk into her bedroom. We had an amazing afternoon. Junior's team won as he predicted. He was more than proud of himself. He couldn't stop smiling when he saw all of us together. He ran from the field all the way into her arms.She embraced him with a huge smile on her face. I held back tears at the love she poured into my son. I don't think I've loved her more than I did at that moment.After the game, we went to a nice lunch. It felt so comfortable. Junior and Shalom talked about Anime and their favourite movies while I watched on in awe. I still can't believe how good she is with him. They talk to each other like best friends. I can't imagine how incredible she's going to be with our child.I followed her home because I didn't want the connection we had today to end. I didn't want us to go back to the murky situation we were in before she showed up at the game."I wouldn't hav

Two weeks later Kane's houseIt's Friday night, and I thought I would invite a few friends over. Jay, my cousin and my childhood friend Sam and their partners came through.

I told her stories about my mother. I shared how much I miss having her around. I didn't realize I was mourning for the times she's going to miss out on my life until the moment we talked about it.I am heartbroken that she will never know my children and they will never know her. She was an incredible woman and I know she would have loved them with all her heart.

"Why did you call her?" I ask Kane and he looks up at me. He sighs and then he gets up from the floor. He sits next to me on the bed. I stay silent waiting for him to say something. "Do you miss her? Do you want her back?" I ask when he doesn't answer me. "No, no, no!" He says his voice low but firm. "I don't miss her or want her back. I called her because I needed to process stuff." He says looking at me like that one sentence cleared up everything. "What does that mean?' I ask wondering what could have happened that he can't tell me. And of course my first and only thought is that the father of my unborn child is cheating on me. "I was having a hard time and she helped deal with it." He says and I shake my head not sure I want to hear this again. "I don't get why you had to talk to her,I'm here, you have your cousin and Jay. Why did have to be your ex?" I ask feeling my heart break. What if she wants to get back with he

"So you're telling me you don't believe in the idea of having a soul mate?" Jay says staring at me. I smile and shake my head. He's been trying to convince me that people can love more than one person at a time and I've been giving her a hard time.Of course, I know you can love more than one person at a time. I loved Kane my whole life. I met another man and was ready to move with him to China but Kane was always in the back of my mind. My feelings for him never changed.I'm just being difficult, I love how invested Jay is in this conversation. I know he's in love with his lady or else he wouldn't be looking at me like I have three heads. I bet he finds it deeply offensive that I won't agree with him."Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask and the room goes silent. Everyone is looking at me now. "why is that hard to believe?""Well..." Connie says pointing from me to Kane. I look at Kane and he's looking at me wi

"You didn't just say that to me. I say laughing a little. I hate when men go on these types of rants. there's no way they think like this."I'm serious, I don't understand why someone in your position would worry about a random girl who's showing interest in our man." He says pointing to Kane. I stare at Jay and he smiles. I know he's pulling my leg here, he's trying to get a reaction out of me. I guess Kane spoke to him about the Olivia situation. He wants to play? I'll play along. "Do you want to know why I worry/?" I say to him but look at Kane. He raises his brows at me in question. I guess he's playing along too. If he's still wondering why Olivia bothers me so much he's going to find out."Please enlighten me," Jay says making me look back at him. Farrow smiles taking a sip of her wine. She doesn't say much but her eyes speaks volumes. She thinks I'm trpping."I worry because he gave her the idea that she h

Two hours after their friends left"We don't have much left to go," Kane says coming to sit next to me on his sofa I stop rubbing my belly and smile. "We need to figure out how where we're going to live." He says placing his hand on my belly. My heart rate kicks up a gear at his comment. I knew this conversation was coming and I thought I would be ready when it happened but I'm not so sure now."You could move in with me," I say jokingly and he smiles nodding."I could do that but I don't think there'll be enough room for all of us." He says looking at me with a serious look on his face. He's not wrong, I have a three-bedroom, two-bath. Adding him, Junior, and the baby it's going to be a struggle."I know," I say not wanting to think about moving out of my house. I won't leave my mother by herself. I love Kane and I would love to raise this baby in the same house with him but I will never choose him over my mother. A man

"Thank you for doing this with me," I say looking at Noni in the passenger side of my car. I bring the car to a stop in front of a large gate. I open the window and reach out to the gate intercom. I press the button and the gate opens immediately."Are you kidding me there was no way I would miss out on this."She says staring straight ahead. Her mouth drops open when the gate opens wider and an incredible view is revealed. I gasp at the beautiful driveway and house beyond."What in the rich people is going on here?" I say in shock. Why did Kane add this house to the home wish list? This has to be expensive as hell."Girl, this is rich rich!" Noni exclaims as the car moves closer to the house."Why didn't you tell me your baby daddy is rich?" She asks and I don't have the answer. I didn't know this was what he meant when he said he was buying me a house. "I didn't know," I say parking the car in one of the em

Six months later, our wedding day arrives. The venue is a charming chapel nestled in the hills, surrounded by a sea of white flowers.

Our guest list is intimate, just fifty of our closest friends and family, making the occasion feel even more special.I’m in a small room at the back of the chapel, getting ready.

I lie on my side and stare at Kane lying next to me. He closes his eyes and then he sighs happily as his body slowly calms down from the high of our orgasms. “I missed you so much,” I say, my voice trembling with emotion.

The simple contact brings a rush of relief.He opens his eyes and smiles, the tenderness in his gaze melting the remaining shards of hurt within me. “I missed you too,” he replies, moving closer.“I don’t want to fight like that with you ever again,” I whisper, my voice barely audible, yet carrying the weight of a heartfelt promise.

I'm in bed watching Shaolm get ready to go to sleep. She's wearing one of those lingerie sets where you can see through the material. I watch the way her skin peaks through and wish my lips were slowly gliding over it. I wish I could feel the softness hidden beneath the material."You okay?" She says when she stops in the middle of the room to look at me. I nod and she starts walking into the bathroom.When she comes back to the room she gets into bed next to me."You're very silent tonight." She says looking over at me."I'm just thinking about how beautiful you are." I say and she smiles shyly."You're beautiful too." She says her smile getting wider and I just stare at her.

After a long day at the hospital, I finally make my way home, the weight of the day’s events pressing down on me. The evening air is cool, a welcome contrast to the sterile feeling of the hospital. As I unlock the door, the familiar scent of home greets me, and I immediately feel a bit lighter.“Baby?” I call out, stepping inside.“In the kitchen!” Her voice rings back, cheerful and warm.I find her at the stove, stirring a pot of something that smells amazing. She turns and smiles when she sees me, her eyes lighting up. “Hey, you. How was your day?”I lean in to kiss her, savoring the brief moment of normalcy. “Busy. Interesting, too. Smells great in here.”“Chicken curry,” she says with a grin. “It’ll be ready in a few minutes.

The hospital corridors hum with the usual morning bustle. As I head to the conference room for the morning briefing, I notice a familiar figure ahead, her brown hair tied back in a neat ponytail. My steps falter for a second before I continue walking, my mind racing.Olive.I know she ran into Shalom a week ago and I don't know how she'll react. It sucks that we have to work together but their internal medicine fellowship and our neurosurgery program h work together from time t time and I'm stuck with her this week. The unexpected sight of her here, in the same hospital, stirs up a whirlwind of emotions.Entering the conference room, I take a seat and try to focus on the meeting.

Today is my first solo surgery. I can't believe it but I can because I worked harder than most people and I'm not surprised I've progressed so quickly in the program.It's both exciting and nerve wrecking blend as I prepare for my first solo surgery. It's a simple procedure—a lumbar discectomy—but the significance of it being my first is huge.Dr. Hunter's words from that first day echo in my mind as I scrub in: "This program is designed to challenge you and expand your capabilities." I’ve spent countless hours observing, assisting, and honing my skills under the watchful eyes of the attendings. Today, it’s my turn.I walk into the OR, the sterile environment buzzing with the quiet efficiency of the surgical team. Dr. Malik, who has been an incredible mentor, gives me a reassuring nod from across the room. “Ready, Dr.?” He smiles at me and I exhale slowly.“Ready,” I reply, my voice steady despite the

Sitting in my car, the world around me blurs as tears fill my eyes. My chest tightens, and I struggle to catch my breath. The image of Shalom with her baby is burned into my mind, a constant reminder of what I’ve lost. Panic grips me, making it hard to think, hard to breathe.I close my eyes, trying to calm myself. "In and out," I whisper to myself, focusing on my breathing. "In and out." Slowly, the panic begins to recede, but the pain remains, a dull ache in my chest.I lean back in my seat, staring at the ceiling. How did it come to this? How did I end up here, alone and broken? Kane was everything to me, and now he’s gone, living a life I can only dream of. I squeeze my eyes shut, wishing I could erase the last few minutes from my memory.But the truth is, I needed to see it. I needed to see that Kane has moved on, that he’s happy.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. It's her. My heart pounds as I duck behind a rack of summer dresses, and my breath catches in my throat. I peek through the fabric, watching Shalom browse the store with her baby. The scene stirs a whirlwind of emotions in me—a mix of anger, jealousy, and a tinge of curiosity.Shalom moves gracefully, her attention focused on the baby in a stroller. I can see the soft coos and the gentle way Shalom interacts with her baby, a smile across her lips. I feel my heart break at the sight. I want to get closer, to see the baby, and to understand what has changed in Kane's life since he broke up with me.My mind races with thoughts. Why did he choose Shalom? What did she have that I didn’t? I need answers, and this might be my only chance to find them.Taking a deep breath, I straighten up, trying to appear nonchalant as I step out from behind the rack.
