"Maddie, we need to talk. You've ignored me all day"
"Fine"
"I'm sorry. I want to be apart of this child's life but I'm not ready yet. I tried but I can't do it" I stayed silent. "Say something, please"
"What do you expect? Me to grovel and beg you to stay? I'm moving on Luke. In two months I'll give birth to a baby girl and that's it. I can't hang on a thread of hope that you might have an epiphany"
"It's a girl?"
"I was planning on telling you before you left"
"I'm so sorry"
"Just stop, Luke. Sorry isn't going to make you change your mind"
"I know"
"I need to go" I turned around and went to find Sydney. "Hey, I know it's your wedding and I don't want to be selfish but do you mind if I leave?"
"It's getting late and you're pregnant so I get it. Did Luke speak to you?"
"You could say that"
"Go home, rest and don't think about him. Ignore what Ashton keeps saying. He's not changing this time"
