Tally

I helped Irene make dinner before Antonio arrived home before work and the closer the time came, the more nervous I got. "Honey, it'll be okay. He loves you."

"Does he though?"

Irene smiled. "He has a glow on his face that I've really never seen before."

It was then in that moment when the front door opened, and Antonio entered the house. "Hi, baby."

"Hey."

"Is everything alright?"

"Not really."

"What happened? Did he hurt you?"

"No."

"Then what is it?"

"Antonio, I... God, I don't know how to say this. Our lives are about to change."

"Why is that?"

"Because I'm pregnant."

"You're what?"

"I tested today."

"Wow, okay."

"I don't expect you to stay, I can do it on my own."

Antonio raised his eyebrows and grabbed my hands. "I'm not going anywhere, love. Not anytime soon. Like I said, you are mine forever."

"You aren't leaving?"

"I would be crazy to leave you, Tally. This child is mine and I am devoted to helping you."

I liked hearing him say that, but I feared one thing: he would change his mind and leave me to raise our child alone.
