Five negative pregnancy tests stared back at Athena and she wiped away the tears that were quickly falling. She really thought she was pregnant, her period was like two weeks late, she was nauseous and her nipples were as sore as a rotten tomato.
It's been over a month since she stopped trying to be partner at the firm and Jace was back to being his regular self with staying out late and sometimes ignoring her.
At this point in her life, she didn't know where to take the next step to say move forward. It all felt difficult and her heart was slowly breaking knowing that everything she truly wanted wasn't in the palm of her hand already.
Picking up her phone that was on her bathrooms counter. She stared at the text she received that she never responded to. Debating on what she wanted to finally replied back, she talked herself out of it and stared at herself in the mirror. "You can do this." She encouraged herself with a bright smile on her face.
926-541-0981: When can I see you?
Her heart was beating fast in her chest as she anticipated a response from him and she quickly locked her phone before disposing of the negative pregnancy tests in the trash. It was four o'clock in the afternoon and she had just came back from getting her hair done in a bob cut.
Smoothing her hands down her yellow sundress that hugged the curves on her body, she grabbed her phone and bag to walk out of her house. Jace was somewhere working and she had promised Niami that she would go and see there parents and since today was Sunday and also their fathers birthday, she figured this would be the best time and day to do so.
Today her pops was turning fifty-two and as she looked at their beautiful gate home that she grew up in, her heart smiled on the inside. They had some wonderful memories here and she would never forget them even if they might've felt neglected by her which was never her intentions.
After finding somewhere to park, Athena grabbed her belongings along with her fathers gift and red roses for her mother as an apology gift for staying away for so long.
The moment she walked in the house, chaos took over, loud music was playing, there was slamming of dominoes that some of the men were entertaining theirselves in, some screaming at the television as they watched basketball, some on the grill, women taking care of children and then her nose picked up the wonderful smell of some nice greasy fried chicken as her belly did a loud rumble.
Hailing and hugging some of her family members. She made her way in the kitchen where she saw her mother singing and her father dancing behind her whilst letting him taste some of the macaroni and cheese that she was about to put in the oven. "Ahhhhh!" Her mother, Elena screamed once she saw Athena before running over to her and engulfing her in a motherly hug.
