I grabbed a pillow from off the couch and hugged it close to me, wishing just for a moment that it could radiate some warmth as a person would. I let the tears fall, but I dared to not make a sound.
I never had a father figure growing up. My dad was much more interested in younger women and couldn't be bothered with his child. I'd met him only a few times, my 16th birthday and my high school and college graduation. Knowing now my baby would have to suffer the same fate made me sick. How had I already screwed up? My baby is wasn't even born yet.
Adoption was always a possibility, but I hadn't truly considered it until this point. My salary allowed for me to live with little wiggle room, taking care of a baby would be a heavy strain of me and my financial situation. I couldn't do it, not like this.
A knock sounded on the door. A timid knock, so quiet I thought it not real until I heard a second knock. I slowly walked to the door, a sob taking over my body. I wiped the tears with the back of my hand, knowing in a few moments more would take their place.
I pulled open the door, coming face to face with Gerard. I tried to close the door, I didn't want to speak or even see him ever again. However he wedged his foot before the door completely closed.
"Please talk to me," his voice shook and it would seem he'd been crying as well.
I kept my mouth shut, squeezing my eyes shut. I couldn't cry in front of him.
"I know I don't deserve it, but we need to talk. Please Kendra." He begged
"Why? Why should I? What's the damn point?" I yelled probably more aggressively than I should've.
"Because-Because we are parents now."
