A Love Lost

Chapter 46

Flashback

Hallie, Max and the kids were all sitting in the living room.

"Your dad and I have something to tell you." Hallie said. "We are getting a divorce."

"What does that mean?" Ashley asked.

"They're splitting up." "They're not gonna be together anymore." Max Jr. said.

"Why?" Melissa asked.

"We just don't get along anymore." Max said.

"I'm going with mom." Max Jr. said.

"You all are." Hallie said. "Our new house is only ten minutes away from here."

"You guys will come visit me every weekend I don't work." Max said.

"I'm not going." Max Jr. said.

End Of Flashback

Hallie was packing up her things to move to the new house. Most of the kids things were there already. Andrea had flown up to help with the move  Hallie was in the bedroom packing things in the bedroom. A picture of her Max on the dresser brought tears to her eyes remembering happier times

"You ok?" Andrea asked appearing in the doorway.

"Yeah." She wiped her eyes. "I just feel like such a loser."

"You're not."

"Yes I am." "This is my second divorce." "When I married Max I thought it would last forever." "No more marriages or men for that matter, at all."

"You can't do that to yourself."

"If if I were interested, no one is going to want, a twice divorced woman, with three children and a newborn."

"Sam does." "Sam loves you, and you love him."

"I do not."

"You do so."

"Sam and I have tried, we don't work."

"Which is why you won't admit it, you're afraid."

"The healthy part of our relationship is growing a baby girl in my stomach as we speak."
