"Should we go to my parents house this weekend and tell them?" You were sitting on the exam bed while waiting for the doctor to print your sonogram picture.

"Yeah, that's a great idea." Joel nodded.

"Sorry it took so long. Here, I printed five for you. And don't forget to get the vitamins at the pharmacy before you leave." The doctor passed you the sonogram pictures and a prescription.

"Thank you, doc." You and Joel thanked her.

"You're welcome. I'll see you on our next appointment." She smiled.

"Do you want to wait here and sit while I get this?" Joel raised the prescription.

"I'll come with you." You linked your arms to Joel's.

"Hi, Joel." A familiar woman and man stopped in front of the two of you.

Joel sighed. He didn't expect to meet his ex-wife and her boyfriend again. At the obgyn in all of the places?

"Hi." You greeted them with a forced smile.

"Congratulations to both of you." She pointed at the sonogram picture in Joel's hand.

"Thank you." You looked at her while you rubbed Joel's arms.

"Congratulations to you too." You pointed your eyes to her protruding belly.

Joel's ex-wife was pregnant with her current boyfriend. She was bigger than you so it was obvious.

"I hope you'll be a good mom this time." Joel sarcastically said to his ex-wife.

Even though it had been a few years, he was still hurt by her and he still hated her. He could never forgive her for what she had done. She failed her daughter but why did God give her a second chance to be a mother? He wondered. Life was not fair.

"It's okay." She grabbed her boyfriend's wrist as he stepped forward to Joel almost starting a fight.

"I will, Joel. I'm sorry. I hope to see Sarah sometime." She brought up Sarah.

Joel groaned and rolled his eyes. You rubbed his arms with your thumb to calm him.

"Sure, we can set a time." You smiled at her.

Joel turned his head to you and widened his eyes. He wanted to make his ex wife suffer by not allowing her to meet her daughter.

"Thank you, (y/n). I hope you and your baby are healthy." She put her hands on your upper arm.

"You too." You smiled and parted ways.

In the car

"You okay, there?" You asked Joel as he was quiet since your meeting with his ex-wife.

He stayed quiet, not answering you.

"Joel, baby?" You called him.

He only hummed and looked straight while driving.

"I get it. You're mad at me." You nodded, holding the seatbelt on your chest.

"Yes, I'm mad at you. What the fuck was that?!" He raised his voice.
