"So .. I have to tell you something Tyler." I said sitting down ". I haven't been being completely honest but it's just because I don't know how to tell you. It's alot." I looked down at my feet

"Uh, okay, what's up?"

I looked down "I mean I know we've been going through a lot in our marriage. You know the arguments, stress and ..."

"Hazel ." He chucked "I know your not about to say what I think you are."

"I know it's not ideal or what we wanted but-"

"Hold on. We're not going to downplay this like it just happens. Yes all marriages go through things  But that means you cheat your way out?" He argued

"I-" I said confused "what makes you think I'd ever cheat on you. Where the heck did you even get that from?" I argued becoming defensive

"You've been being secretive since we've got here, and the last few weeks. Now You just said we've been going through a lot in our marriage and -"

"I said that to say I'm pregnant and I didn't tell you because I was so stressed out I didn't know if I'd make it to term. I've been being "sneaky" because I knew you'd question why I hadn't been touching the wine. What the hell Tyler." I squinted at him

His eyes widened "Were having a baby?"

"Oh hell. You think we're just going to creep on to the next subject? You just accused me of cheating on you. YOU know me. I'd rather leave before I'd sit here and cheat. We're grown with CHILDREN. What have I ever done to make you think I would ever?"

"I don't know Hazel. You've just been acting weird and it's the first thing that crossed my mind."

"We've been together since we were what ? 15? 16? I've NEVER been with anyone but you. I've never dated never had eyes for anyone but you and now suddenly you accuse me? Me of cheating. I'm so over this."

"Haze I'm sorry. I'm just stressed out. Everything in our lives has been crazy lately."

"For you huh? What about me. I don't think you pay attention to all I've been through. I'm pregnant and I didn't tell my own HUSBAND because I was under so much stress I thought I'd lose my baby. Your so focused on this stupid church that you don't know your about to lose your wife. You had all these people, the whole damn church attacking me. If it wasn't about what I wore it was how I worship. If it wasn't that it was about the way my damn body is shaped. How do you think that felt for me?" I paused

"I have to raise my daughter to be a strong woman of God but yet she has to see people treat her mom like this. Do you know how many times she's asked me why we still have to look after and be there for these people when she sees the way they treat me. I did everything right when it comes to marriage and having kids but they take one look at me and just assume I'm a hoe and run with it and you let them. As a pastor your supposed to take care of your home first. How could you carry a church home and you can't even carry your own home? Huh?"

"Baby I'm sorry you feel that way and I'm working to change the way people make you feel but at the end of the day people have their opinions. You know it's not true so why does it bother you?"

I laughed under my breath "I'm gonna go for a walk. I can't do this. Not now." I put my hand up as I exited the hotel room
