Love Hurts

Chapter 3

I wash my face and go down to see Christopher watching TV. I grab my car keys and am about to leave when he stops me.

"Eva." I turn to him."I was thinking we could go out for dinner or something."

"Why?" I ask him.

"What do you mean why?" I can see him get frustrated.

"Why now? Why do you suddenly want to go out with me. God forbid what if someone sees you with me." I mock him.

"We have gone out before." He reminds me.

"Barely. We went out 3 weeks before our wedding. You couldn't be bothered to even look at me and were looking at your watch every two minutes. You had planned to meet someone else there too which of course I found out later when your picture was in the news with her. We went out again to a party after our wedding which my friends threw to celebrate our marriage you were late and couldn't stay long."

"Don't be ridiculous we go out to parties all the time."

"We go to the business parties where you are forced to bring your wife. You spend all those discussing business and I spent them all alone waiting for them to end."

"Well we can go now."

"I have plans."

"What plans?"

"I have to go see my friends."

"Cancel."

"Why? Have you ever cancelled anything for me? I have cancelled on my friends a lot for you. I think it high time I start thinking about me." I turn to leave.

"Eva!" I ignore him and leave.

Three Weeks later:

I tried to move out of the bedroom but Christopher wouldn't let me. I told him I want a divorce but he ignored me and brought me back to the master bedroom. He wouldn't let me sleep anywhere else telling me we are married and will sleep together and won't be getting a divorce.

Right now I am sitting on the bathroom counter with a pregnancy test in my hand. A positive pregnancy test to be specific and a few tears down my cheek.

There is a knock on the door followed by Christopher's voice.

"You okay in there?"

"Yeah." I shout back. And rub my tears away. I throw the pregnancy test down towards the bin. Wash my face and open the door.

Christopher is leaning on the wall beside the door. He looks me over.

"You were in there a long time."

"I was. Sorry I didn't realize. When did you come home?"

"When you were in there." He tells me.

"Why don't you freshen up and I will get the dinner on the table." I make a move to leave the room.

He grabs my arm and pulls me close to him.

"You sure you feeling okay?" He asks and puts his hand to my forehead.

"Yes I am fine. I'll see you downstairs. "

I set the table and am bringing the dish with dinner to the dining table when Christopher comes in with a thundering look on his face.

"What wrong I ask him?"

"Is there something you want to tell me?" He asks me in a icy cold look.

For a moment I think he know about the pregnancy but who would he know.

"Not really. I am going to a gallery opening with a friend tomorrow night." I tell him.

"Is that all?"

"Pretty much."

"What's this?" He holds up the pregnancy test.

I am my face has lost all color.

"Where did you get that?"

"First you tell me when were you going to tell me?"

"Were you snooping?"

"My watch fell down, when I was picking it up when I saw this. Now tell me, what do these two lines mean?"

I sigh. "It means it is positive."

"You weren't going to tell me about our baby."

"My baby." I correct him. "You didn't care about the first one why would I tell you about this one."

"I loved our baby." He yells.

"I was the only one he mourned him. It didn't matter to you that I lost that baby, you have no right to call that or this baby yours." I yell back.

"Just because I didn't show doesn't mean I did love or mourn our baby." He is still yelling.

"Where were you when I was losing the baby? It's nothing Eva. I have talked to the doctor just take the meds and go to sleep. You are over reacting Eva nothing is wrong. Eva is crazy. She is imaging it. If I had listened to you and hadn't driven myself to the hospital that day I would have died too."

"I talked to a doctor how was I supposed to know he would be wrong."

"You didn't want to think the doctor was wrong. You didn't want to leave your business meeting." I start feeling dizzy and put a hand out to the table to steady myself.

In a flash Christopher is in front of me and pulls out a chair for me.

"You okay?" His voice is all soft. All anger is gone.

"Yes just dizzy."

"Did you eat today?"

I shake my head. "Nausea." I explain.

He sighs. He gets me a plate and start feeding me. I try to take the spoon from him but he stops me with a look.

He feeds me and carries me up to the bed.
