Chapter One Hundred and Eleven - The Hurt

Flashback. “What is more intimate than having a baby together?” Luna asked Justin. They were in their home, Luna had decided to confess her feelings to him. Ever since she had realized that she was in love with him, she had kept the knowledge to herself. And she had done so fro many reasons. For one, there hadn’t seemed to be a right time for it. Luna believed a couple saying their ‘I love yous’ was a very big deal in their relationship, and it should be said in the most memorable way possible. And between Justin’s seemingly never-ending meetings and his increasing absence in the house as a result of it, Luna hadn’t found the right moment. And for another, and a big one that Luna had been trying her damnedest to ignore but that she knew was there nonetheless, Justin didn’t seem to be big on the idea. Of everything. He didn’t seem to be big on the idea of their relationship, the idea of them saying their ‘I love yous’, on the baby they were having together. Nothing. Zip, zero,

Chapter One Hundred and Twelve - The Intermediary

“You don’t love, you don’t need me, you don’t need the baby,” Luna repeated Justin’s words from six years ago word for word, “and you never will.” Even now, her throat burned as she said the words. She looked at Justin, they were in the kitchen, both seated on opposite sides of the countertop. It was night, Justin had come back from work some thirty minutes ago, and Luna from the funeral of Mr. Reese. Maybe it was the passing on of a life, and the message it brought to home of how short life really was, or maybe she was just tired of it all, whatever it was, Luna had finally reached her breaking point. That was how she thought of it. She had finally gotten to the point where she didn’t want to keep it in anymore, where she didn’t care about anything anymore. Not of seeing herself as weak if she talked about her hurt, or about giving Justin ammunition over her by revealing how much his indifference had hurt her. She didn’t care about any of it anymore, she just wanted to alleviat

Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen - The Clear

“You don’t love, you don’t need me, you don’t need the baby,” Luna repeated Justin’s words from six years ago word for word, “and you never will.” Even now, her throat burned as she said the words. She looked at Justin. “Do you know what those words did to me? Do you know how much they hurt? How they destroyed me?” she demanded of him. Justin didn’t reply, she hadn’t expected him to. She knew the answer, and the answer was that he didn’t know. He wasn’t there when she broke down on the living room floor that day and thought she was going to die. He wasn’t there, he didn’t see, and he could never know. But she could tell him. She stood up from the stool, she started to pace. “Do you know what it meant for me to leave my home, everything I knew, at the age of 22? And come to a city I didn’t know, a place where I didn’t know anybody, a place that was so different from where I was coming from.” Luna’s throat burned, her voice scratched. “I was in a foreign place, and the one person

Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen - The Cleansing

“Lied to me?” Luna asked. Justin looked at her. “Lied to you,” he confirmed. “I didn’t mean any of those things that I said to you that day. Not a single one.” Before Luna’s instantly pounding heart could get further out of control, Justin’s next words settled it. “I am not saying I was in love with you,” he said, “I didn’t allow myself to feel it, more accurately. I made sure to not allow myself feel anything towards you, because of the same reason that I couldn’t accept your love.” Luna was itching at this point to ask what the reason was, but she refrained from doing so. Justin had to tell it himself, in fact, he was going to. She could see it in his eyes, he was leading up to it, she just had to give him time. But she was antsy. “And the reason has to do with your dad,” Justin continued. He sighed again and ran his hand through his hair this time. Following Justin’s words, and watching him, Luna suddenly wasn’t sure she wanted to hear the reason anymore. “You were to

Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen - The Roses

The next day, Luna was in her office. She was seated in her chair, her laptop was open in front of her on her desk. She was going through expense reports, her head of accounting had sent her the reports in her mail that morning. For once, her day was not so congested, she only had a couple of meetings. One of which she had already gone through that morning. And then she just had the rest of the expense reports to go through. Days like these were rare, Luna knew, and she was grateful for it. It couldn’t have come at a more convenient time too. After the night she had, a clear day was a blessing. Yesterday night had been an eye opener, she had learned things she hadn’t known before, and while she was still deciding if there were for good or bad, she definitely knew it was going to change things for her. First off, Justin had loved her father. He hadn’t necessarily said it in those words, but Luna knew it in her heart. You don’t talk about a man the way Justin talked about her fa

Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen - The Accounting

Two days later, Luna was in her office again. She shut down her laptop and stood up from her chair, it was already closing time, most of her employees would have left already. Luna felt she had put in a good day today as she packed up her things from her desk, she turned out the light from the lamp on her desk. Maintenance would do the rest when they turned off all the lights in the entire building. Today had been a really good day, Luna thought to herself as she checked around her office to make sure she hadn’t left anything behind. Very productive, efficient and a lot of good work done. She took joy in that. But she was paying the price in the back pain she was even now starting to feel in her lower back. Luna touched a hand to it, the back pains were getting more frequent with each day. She frowned, she couldn’t start agreeing with Justin that it was already time to cut back on work now, could she? And Justin must not even know about the back pains, because he would just blow

Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen - The Lashing

The next day, Luna rubbed a hand over her forehead, a small headache was starting to brew between her eyes. She paced the living room, she was at home today, Justin had gone to work already. She didn’t go in to work, Luna had known from the minute that Brian had left her office the night before that she wouldn’t be able to go to work today. And when she had woken up that morning with the same ache in her lower back, and worry about Ashley on her mind, it had confirmed it for her. She couldn’t concentrate on work when Ashley wouldn’t pick her calls. She had been trying her phone since the night before, trying to get in touch with her so they could talk about what had transpired between her and Brian last night, and the reason for it in the first place. But Ashley hadn’t picked any of her calls, she had called too many times to count, she had left at least a dozen messages, a couple long text ending with ‘we need to talk’, and she hadn’t replied to any of them. And now, the calls

Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen - The Voice

The door slammed in her face, Luna remained where she was, the pain holding her still. She stared at the door, out at the loud pouring rain that had now swallowed the sound of Ashley’s footsteps. Also effectively cutting out the sound of her scream at the same time. Luna glanced down at her stomach, back at the closed door. Her fingers tightened around the phone in her hand as the pain gripped her. Her face contorted in pain. “Oooh,” she grimaced, she felt like her stomach was tightening within her. And then the fear came. She was going to lose her baby. The thought sent alarming rings to her head. She was going to lose her baby, she thought, panicked. “Oh God, oh God, oh God,” she cried. Her head suddenly felt light, and she almost felt like she was going to faint. Luna knew then that she would have to get herself together, she couldn’t allow her mind to freak her out this way. If she did, she would not be able to function properly, she would not be able to do what she ne

Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen - The Scare

Luna laid on her back, her legs spread on the leg support on her hospital bed. She was dressed in the standard hospital gown, she rubbed her hand rhythmically on her stomach and stared up at the ceiling. She glanced at Justin, who was pacing holes into the tiled floor of the hospital room they were in, she rolled her eyes and looked back up at the ceiling. She didn’t bother to tell him to stop, or to reassure him that everything was going to be fine. It hadn’t worked the past dozen times she had said it since they got to the hospital, and it wasn’t going to work now. Luna felt accepting simple facts like that was what was going to keep her sane for the next hour. After Justin had told her he was on the way to her earlier when she had called him, he had pulled up in front of the house in the next five minutes, a ride that normally took at least thirty minutes, if there wasn’t traffic. He had pulled up in five though. And, five minutes had been Luna rounding up, it had been more l

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty - The Lie(s)

“What does that mean?” Justin asked immediately. Dr. Gina looked between the two of them with concerned eyes. “Your cervix wasn’t strong enough to begin with, you know this,” she added, looking at Luna. Luna swallowed, she nodded, her hand tightened in Justin’s. “I know.” Dr. Gina nodded. “Well, because of the stress that caused the scare, stress that I’m assuming has been occurring in the past few days or something. Am I right?” Dr. Gina paused, she looked between the two of them, waiting for an answer. And then she looked at Luna. Luna closed her eyes and opened them again. She sighed. “I guess I have been stressed from work and stuff these past few days, just these past few days,” she added, looking up at Justin, whose hand had tightened on hers a little bit at her confession. A muscle ticked in his jaw, and his face clearly said he didn’t like what he was hearing. Dr. Gina talked before Justin’s piercing look could sear Luna’s skin. “Yeah, I guessed as much,” she sai
