I lied.
It’s the first thing that runs through my mind every morning
before my hand touches my belly.
I lied.
To Keir.
And I’ve managed to stay away from him too.
I hope it lasts, this willpower I’ve managed to find and to dig deep to
maintain.
Carrying a child was something I thought I would never do. Ever.
My body was defective, and it didn’t understand what I wanted.
But, somehow, along the way, with this man, it happened—I’m
pregnant.
I wonder if he’s married her already.
Is she pregnant with his child as well?
I hate the bitch and hope I never see her again.
Sighing, I pull my bag further up on my shoulder as I smile at Henry,
the barista.
“You should be on leave,” he says, shaking his head.
Quickly I gaze down at my belly and smile. “I will be, next week.” My
shoulders shrug without me thinking about it because not much seems to
matter right now except the baby and me.
“Your feet are swollen, and you look tired,” Henry states categorically.
He’s right, for the past couple of months my feet and ankles have been
swelling badly to the point of pain. Henry tells me to sit as often as I can,
but my job is to serve customers, so standing is a must.
When this happened, I moved back to my hometown and am staying at
my old house. I thought about moving out, but Benny insisted I take the
third room to use as a nursery. I’ve managed to save enough money to have
some time off with the baby once he or she has arrived.
Right now, I don’t know the sex.
To be honest, I was shocked and so grateful—every word and feeling
you could think of—when I realized this baby was even happening—it’s
more than a miracle and it means everything to me.
Things flew through my head after the initial shock settled.
Could Dillan’s sperm have been defective?
Did my body reject it?
Or is this God’s punishment for everything I’ve gone through by giving
me a baby with a murderer?
“Take tomorrow off.” Henry’s nice, one of the best people I have ever
worked with. I have clients on the side because I want to keep saving. And
having this job as well, as tiring as it may be some days, is the only way I
can do that.
“I can’t,” I reply as he walks over and hands me a cup of herbal tea. I
smile up at him.
Henry’s young, an amazing barista, and also the owner’s son.
“You can. I’ll cover for you. You know I can.”
My teeth bite down on my lip at his insistence. “I need the money.”
“You’ll still get paid. You’re only meant to be on for four hours
