I stop to say to her before rushing up the stairs. In thirtyminutes, I'm all dressed up for work. I head down the stairs to find Ryan already sitting, but he barelyspeaks to me and contributes in the tiny conversations I make. So I simply let him be not knowing whathis problem is.I rush through breakfast and head straight to work.“Good morning ma’am.” Jersey greets when I walk into the store.“Sorry I'm late.” I simply tell and she looks uncomfortable that I'm apologizing when I own the place.“You don't have to apo

I stay in my new home and fix myself something to eat. I know a little about cooking but I will have to dowith what I can for now.I miss Beatrice already and it's only just been a day. I should have done this sooner but my fear did notlet me. I'm going to divorce Ryan this very second and no one is going to tell me otherwise.I try calling Maxwell again to let him know what's going on and also to inform him about our doctorsappointment in a few days for the baby.Jersey insisted on staying with me but I really needed to be alone at the moment, now I almost regret mydecision to be alone, my thoughts are not letting me breathe.I dress up for work the next day trying to make something of my day instead of looking miserable all dayso I put more effort Into dressing up today as I head downstairs and to the store.The store is bit more packed up than normal “what's going on?” I ask a very busy Jersey.“Uh there's been a ton of customers in and out already this morning.” She hur

Two days of being held up at the hospital bed for more surveillance, Maxwell is finally taking me backhome.Maxwell has been looking sort of distracted since he came back but I couldn't be more elated with theprogress and news of my child being healthy and safely tucked away in my belly, I promise to pay moreattention to him now. I refused to check what gender it is, I want it to be a surprise. Maxwell badlywanted to know what gender our baby is but bummer for him, he's not the one with a child in his bellyso he let me make the final decision.“Ana, it's so good to have you back.” Jersey greets Maxwell and walks into the store with me.“Thank you Jersey, I'm glad to be back here too.” I tell her sweetly.Maxwell head upstairs with me trailing like he owns the place. The man has the ability to input andcommand his presence anywhere he went.“You don't really have to stay here, you know that right?” Max tells me, looking like he was trying to hidea scowl at me staying here in

Maxwell picks me up later that evening after the store has been closed. I take a shower as slowly as I cannot at all looking forward to meeting both our parents.When Maxwell's car stands at the driveway, he shuts the engine down and we both don't say anythingfor a while.“If you changed your mind and you don't want to go inside, you can just tell me and I will take you out ofyour, no questions asked.” Maxwell firmly tells me.I smile in appreciation at his protective tone “it's okay darling, I'm fine.” I tell him.Max nods at my answer “promise me the moment you begin to feel uncomfortable and you want toleave you will let me know.” Max requests seriously.“I promise.” I reassure him massaging his hands.“Come on then, let's go face the two Satan's on earth.” Max says playfully.“We better hurry before they burn us for being late.” I tell him with a giggle.We get out of the car and go through the front of the house.This place feels so unfamiliar and strange, it feels
