"How was your day, love?" Gavin immediately asked as soon as I came over to the couch after washing up. I sat down beside him and tucked myself under the blanket covering him and cuddled into his waiting arms. "A bit tiring, but it was really fun." I said as I nuzzled my head in his chest. "Looks like Z is all tuckered out." "He was running around the house all day. Dad was exhausted before lunch." He said with a bit of amusement in his voice. "Looks like you two had fun terrorizing Mom and Dad." I said to him with an amused laugh as I tried focusing myself on the television. "Well, they did say that they wanted to take care of Z for the day." He said matter-of-factly and I couldn't argue with him on that. Both of our parents do adore their grandson very much and I'm very grateful for that. My only problem is that they are all spoiling him rotten. "Did you tell them about our baby?" I asked him and I could feel his head shake. His calm and steady breathing and heartbeat also calm

My legs caved in as soon as I saw blood coming dripping down my legs. My hands shook, as I wiped them off and then the ringing in my ears started. Every sound around me was muffled, and my eyes went blurry. I couldn't speak, it felt like my world stopped. Tears started streaming down my face and the next thing I knew; I was swept off of my feet by a familiar comforting presence. I looked up at my husband and saw that his lips were moving but I couldn't hear a thing that he was saying. "Our baby. Our baby." I sobbed at him and I could see the concern and panic on his face. He cradled me in his arms and ran through the building with me sobbing in his chest, and before we could even go down the elevator, everything went black. A bright light pierced through my eyelids as I awoke. And then I remembered what happened. I opened my eyes in fright and saw Gavin sitting beside my bed with a worried expression on his face. "What happened? Love, what happened? Our baby?" I exclaimed as h

I didn't want to think about it, but the conversation that I overheard in the office kept replaying in my mind. Would Gavin really want another girl because I can't bear him another child? Did I really let go of myself? "What's bothering you, love?" Gavin asked me as he popped behind me while I was sitting on the sofa. "It's nothing, love. Let's just watch a movie. ZG is already in bed." I said to him and he immediately jumped onto the sofa. I was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing. I knew it wasn’t mine so I turned to the other side and started waking Gavin up. “Love, your phone is ringing.” I whispered to him but he only answered me with a groan before he started to move and reach for his phone. I cuddle more into him and rested my head on his chest as I tried to go back to sleep. “Hello?” He said with his husky bedroom voice, making me smile as I lay my head on him. “What?” I was shocked when he suddenly sat up from bed. “Sorry. I need to get this love.” He said as he l

It's been a week since the day with Kyla. I haven't opened it up with Gavin, because I don't want him to think that I'm doubting him. And besides, he hasn't done anything suspicious since. He never went on an out-of-town trip after that. So, maybe that's just a big misunderstanding. "Love!" I hear him call out as I was laying on our bed, reading a book. I've been in bed the whole day since I was feeling under the weather. "What?" I called back to him and he and our son came barging into the room within seconds. "Look what I downloaded." He said to me as they climbed onto the bed with their phones at hand. Since ZG is already going to school, we decided to buy him a phone in case of emergencies. We asked his teacher and he was allowed to bring it but he has to surrender it before the class. "What is it?" I asked him, not taking my eyes off my book. "It's an app to locate another phone." He said pushing my book down with his phone so I have no choice but to look at his phone. His

Sitting on the plane, I was still second-guessing my decision. I looked at our son as he slept next to me and then, I heard his phone ringing. I got it from his bag and Gavin's number flashed across the screen. I declined the call and opened his phone only to see the tracker app open and there is Gavin's pin in the airport where our plane was about to take off. I deleted the app and turn off ZG's phone. I took a deep breath as the plane started moving. My mind is still wandering in different possibilities and decisions that I could have made. Should I have just stayed and let him explain? Should I just forgive him? Maybe, they're right. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. If it was, does it justify why he lied to me for months? After a twenty-three-hour flight, me and my son arrived somewhere that I have only gone on vacations for the past years, here I am now, thinking of building a new home here with just me and my son. Because of my impulsive decisions I came here with no plan
