Start from the beginning
                                    

"And your mother?" She should've reached him before I could.

"I haven't seen her in months. She's been traveling behind us not having a chance to catch up. What does she have to do with any of this?"

"She's the reason I am still here. Honestly, I could've packed up and moved to New York with my aunt, or gotten my own place to be closer to my sister."

He doesn't say anything. Just stares at me. I mean what was left to say? Everything has been laid down on the table.

"Where does this leave us?"

I hood his stare, "I don't know."

Not saying another word he gets up and storms off.

I sigh. This stress is not needed right now. Looking around the kitchen I decide I might as well dinner start dinner.

-

By the time dinner is done it's 6:30
and Tyler still was nowhere in sight. I fixed two plates of broccoli spinach chicken Alfredo, with a small plate of salad, and a piece of bread.

I eat at the kitchen island scrolling through my phone. I hadn't kept up with social media or anything in months. Tyler's appearance made me curious as to what everyone else was doing.

These last 6 months I've completely isolated myself. I felt like it helped me heal, but am I fully healed? No, that comes with time.

I rubbed my belly and looked for Terra's insta.

My eyes widened at the post made a few weeks ago. She got to go to Paris. Her dream.

I smiled and commented 'glad you finally made it 💞'. I honestly couldn't be prouder.

Seconds later I got a DM from her a smiled.

i'm sorry for how things
ended last time.

I paused momentarily and looked down at my stomach. How do I tell her about this?

Terra😽

You don't sound so

for months without
a reason.

I think it's better if i
tell you in person.

Why does it sound
so serious?

Reading her last message I look around. I mean I could get out of the house. A trip all the way to Palm Springs. I'd need to be cleared by my nurse.

Terra😽

think about it!

😂🙄🤚🏽
Fine.  only bc i have
nothing better to do.

Yes ma'am 🫡 i'll
buy the tickets right now

She did. I didn't even bother questioning why she was in Palm Springs or anything like that. Instead I packed my bags and prepared for the trip.

"Where are you going?"

It wasn't until midnight when Tyler came back. I had my suitcases packed and ready for the trip in the morning.  They sat next to the front door.

"To Palm Springs." I dropped my kankun pack pack next to the suit cases and walk back up stairs.

"Why?" he follows me.

"It's none of your concern."

He grabs me by the wrist, "yes it is if you carrying my child."

I snatched my wrist away from him, "MY child. Don't you ever threaten me with that."

"Grace-"

"No. Leave. I don't need or want you here you just-" I placed my hand on my stomach upon feeling a sharp pain. Ow. I press down and huff.

"Are you okay?" He has a look of concern.

"Yes. I'm fine."

"If your traveling at least take my jet."

"Your jet?" I forget this family is rich.
