Love After Marriage

4

We were all sitting in the dinning room. Mr Gerald, Frank's Father was sitting at the head of the table followed by his wife and three of his son, Lauren the first sons wife, Daniel the last son, Frank and then I

Sitting down with them, I felt out of place like I didn't belong here. I have always tried to fit in but nothing I do makes me feel okay.  We quietly sat eating our food until Zeus, Frank's elder brother who felt he was cheated by his family members cut the silence

So Frank what are you doing about giving us a nephew? He asked looking at him. I dropped my spoon, I always knew something like this will come out. It always come up every dinner

I looked at Frank and in all honesty, I don't think I'm ready to have another child and since we were told we can't have another child we never really tried and I don't think I would even like to try again. I had told Frank let's tell the family about our impossibility to have another child by our own but he refuses

That's nothing to concern yourself with? He said still eating his food. They always fought about their fathers company

Why? you are not getting any younger and someday you need someone younger to run things here" He said looking at his father who was ignoring the sons banter

Hey stop it, we don't talk about business in the dining room" his mom said

But someday..... Bang we heard as the table vibrated. It was Mr Gerald and oh does he look angry

Can we eat peacefully here? He asked directing his question to Zeus who looked so fucking piss right now

The foods amazing Mom" Daniel the last child who's about eighteen years old says trying to calm the tension.

I didn't even have the appetite to eat again but getting up and leaving is like a big slap to them and they don't like to be slapped. I sat chunking down the food

We finished up finally in silent everyone trying to avoid getting Mr Gerald more piss cause we all know he's already is

After dinner, we were still sitting down as they cleared the dishes. We knew this is not just a family dinner, there will be things to be said

So Son How's the company doing? He asked

Frank with his shoulder high replied to his father and also trying to make certain someone gets more angry. I don't know how they derive joy from provoking each other cause of money, company blah blah blah

His dad nodded smiling at him. He didn't even bother to ask others and to me it wasn't fair. I think he's the sole reason why there's always a competition between the sons

So Lauren how's the baby? He asked Zeus wife who's pregnant

She's fine and we actually found out she's carrying a girl" Zeus choose to answer inorder to gain the spotlight again. Their father always wanted a girl and seeing the smile on his face shows that he's happy. I can't blame him and this reminded me of my child. I was going to have a baby girl until the accident

Oh that's lovely" Margarita, Frank's mom said holding Lauren's hand. She looked at me eyeing me. She never like me or the fact that his son choose to marry someone with no background

How about you, I Know you lost a child but you shouldn't use it as an excuse not to try again" Mr Gerald said looking at both of us

We will do that" Frank told him. I glared at him which he ignores. I don't know why he chooses to not tell his family and we are going to have a talk when we go home

Good then but let it be soon, I want to see my grandchildren before I go" He said getting up to leave. We told them we will be leaving then and after a little glaring from the two sons, we left the house and for the first time this night, I breathed a sigh a of relief

We drove back home in silent listening to nothing. I don't know his plans and why he doesn't want to tell his family the truth but if he's not going to, I will do so cause one day they are all going to find out.

Why didn't you tell you parents the truth? I asked immediately we stepped into the house

He stopped looking at me"tell him what? that the one thing you were married into to do you can't fucking do it?" He asked his eyes as cold as his voice

I gulped heavily. I was never expecting this and why the hell does it hurt. I slapped him running into my room and closing the door hard. I never asked to have a complication that made me loose my child and womb at the same time. I lay on my bed crying into my pillow until I got tired and slept off
