The kid growing up without Ardheene present and working weeks to no end bother the younger woman obviously. Gulping the rock of uncomfortableness down her throat, Ardheene had first class of growing up without a parents. She still hated them.

They were fine until it wasn't. Sometimes, she had endless nights with the company of box of cigarette and coffee black like the night leaving that left bitterness on her tongue did the wonders if she would have different history growing up on her early adulthood if she wasn't born the way she is.

And if her brother would grow up in loving family home instead of jumping around across the sea just to follow Ardheene's career. Albert might hate her for making sure he was taken care of even though Ardheene would leave weeks or months away from him.

She probably would never meet the whirlwind of love, she called, Taylor Swift. Expecting their first child from the unexpected night filled with anger and frustrations from both sides. She never thought Taylor would get pregnant this fast. Winds after winds blew through their stacks of problems both of them seemed to avoid.

Ardheene cannot lie the light of life she had with Emilia, was rather enjoyable. They have same circle of works and no pestering needed if they schedule would align, because they get each others. But the enclosure of the story written by the left hand of the author, because it dimmed faster before they were able to call it something special.

Lately, Emilia distanced herself since the news of pandemic hit globally. At first she thought it was only because of the stress of arranging the already planned and scheduled job, but when Ardheene has her company and jobs sorted out, Emilia never replied to Ardheene's text or call, it always reached dead ends.

She called Ardheene when she was in LA for a day and needed place to sleep since she was worried about hotel's hygiene, and gone the next day.

It wasn't because of the news of their pregnancy, Ardheene is sure of it. Because Emilia told her she was on her way meeting an old friend and needed place for a day before Ardheene made the smaller actress aware of the news. And Ardheene agreed. Because giving her guest room was better than risking Emilia got contaminated.

And her text only telling Ardheene she was safe and arrived at the destination, no further contact after that. That was frowned upon, Ardheene thought they had something going on, but apparently the light already dim by the first wave of an old friend.

By the fifth day, the blue eyed woman put the fate of her future on the detity sitting above the cloud. She did not text Emilia after that. She attract, with the same amount of energy she should receive and respectful of her own boundaries.

It hurts. But life giving you pain each day. Instead, Ardheene tried to focus her energy to her unborn child and bear no negative thoughts near the blonde. She was scared her child would be born with Taylor's level of... sensitivity.

"I have no plans of having them only for the weekend," Ardheene said after penetrating silence between them and finished her food.

The blonde only eat half of the rice on her plate, but the seaweed soup was gone dry from her bowl. Ardheene puffed her chest, feel proud of Taylor about that little thing she always be worried about.

No matter how successful Taylor got, nasty tabloids will have everything to say about Taylor's appearance. The blonde slipping in and out her habit of starve herself. Ardheene never pointed it out, she gave her shoulder for the singer to put her head and line of tears to lean on.
