🌑ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝟙🌑

Shannon, a young lady sat in her room. Her husband was giving her the silent treatment. They had just found out she was pregnant.

She wanted to abort it.

However, her husband was severely against the idea of abortion, though he himself also did not want a child.

They had decided she would birth the baby.

But as soon as it was born, they would send it away to another family.

She already hated it. It wasn't even born yet, but she despised it.

Shannon gasped for air, she had just finished giving birth to her child. Finally. She could get rid of this burden.she felt relief as the nurses rushed her baby boy away to be cleaned. Thank god it was over.

A timid young lady, a mid wife approached her side and began to gently speak. "Mrs Wickham...?" She started.

"Yes..?" She yawned out, not caring for whatever the nurse had to say.

The nurse cradled a swaddled baby in her arms before gently holding him out.

"Would you like to hold your son..?"

Before she could get a word out, her body reacted on its own as she reached out and took the baby. Her baby.

All of a sudden. She felt a connection she never had before. Like something in her heart had connected. She willed herself to sit up as she looked at the sleeping baby on her chest. He was beautiful.

She couldn't love him.. she couldn't! She swore! Just then, he had opened his eyes. It took all the air out of her lungs. He had her periwinkle eyes...

...her husband was going to be so mad...
