Josiah Blessing Henry 7
Y/n POV
I made my way into the house stumbling as I tried not to fall. I quickly ran to the kitchen trash feeling my self about to throw up.
"Mrs.Henry? Do you need me to get you some meds?"Our maid Carla asked as she came into the kitchen as I held my finger up shaking my head before throwing up more.
"Are you sure I was just on my way out-
"Go home Carla."I said interrupting her as I made my way to the sink.
"Goodnight Mrs.Henry. "Carla said looking at me sadly as I washed my mouth out with sink water before wiping it off with a paper towel.
I then went to the cabinet grabbing the bottle of jack Daniel's and a glass before pouring me one.
"Y/n."I heard lowly as I sipped with my back still turned.I pretended to not hear her as I swallowed deeply.
"Y/n."She said louder as I took a deep breath before turning around acted surprised smiling.
"Honey? I didn't know you were home."I said as enthusiastic as I could.
"It's 1am..."she said as I shook my head turning around pouring some more as I tried not to get in my feelings.
"I'm not going to do this with you."I said as I downed half the drink.
"Yesterday it was 12...last week it was 3 and so on..."She said as I saw tears in the wells of her eyes.
"Jazmine-"I said as she shook her head covering her mouth as she cried.
"16 years...9 married.Not once have you ever called me by my name. Even when you meet me...I've always done it but you haven't... and I've always loved that about you."She said as I fell speechless looking down.
"Do you love me still?"She said as I finally locked eyes with her for once in a longtime.
"What?"I said confused
"Do you love me?"She said as I nodded
"Baby of course I still love you I'll never stop loving you.How could you ask that?! You're the woman of my dreams...your who I want to spend the rest of my life with"I said sadly feeling horrible.
"Because you've changed! Look at you you're drunk. You probably won't even remember this in the morning and the cycle will repeat anyway because you'll just do it all over again."She said as she cried
"You know why...You don't get to do that."I said shaking my head.
"Josiah would not want this-
"No. You don't get to bring him into this. This not about my son!"I said slamming the glass down.
"This is all about our son! OUR son! You're not the only one grieving y/n...You too busy throwing yourself a pity party you can't fucking see it! I'm hurting too!"She said blocking me as I tried to walk out.
"It's different!"I said trying to move her out my way.
"No it's not-
"It was my fault!"I said finally breaking down as she backed off.
"What?"She said as I cried dropping to my knees.
"I-f if I had just seen- if had had waited a little longer...if I had made sure that intersection was completely clear...my son would be here...OUR son...my baby....we wouldn't be fighting...maybe then they wouldn't of hit us..."I said breaking down as she kneeled in front of me.
"I'm so sorry... baby I'm so so sorry ."I said repeatedly as she shook her head holding me immediately.
"It's my fault."I said as I closed my eyes trying not to think of that day.
"No it's not...stop saying that.You couldn't have known that. Stop blaming yourself."She said crying as I cried out staring at the ceiling
"What did I do? I should've helped- I-I could've just-
"Baby stop please you're going to have an attack. I love you so much stop blaming yourself it was not your fault I don't blame you.Josiah doesn't blame you. Nobody blames you. Okay? Remember what you told me. You said he wasn't scared remember?"She said as I nodded remembering how he was trying to keep me calm and was really the calm one.
"Our baby boy was so strong... You gotta be strong for him..but you gotta get help okay?"she said kissing my forehead.
"Josiah would want you to be strong for his sibling..."she said as I sat up.
"What ?"I said immediately sobering up as I felt bad. I had been not so present since our son passed 1 month and a half ago. Which means she was alone in her grieving. I had come to the realization I was selfish. And somewhat an asshole.
"I'm pregnant."She said lowly as I paused before breaking down.
"I'm so sorry...I'm going to get help I promise...I'm so sorry."I said as I kissed her as she held me.
