Last Chance

(Ellie's POV)

A week had passed, I was due in a few days but it felt like I still had a long way to go... however my body really just wanted to get this birth done and over with. And two parts of me were fighting- one part wanting to savor this pregnancy and cherish it. Another part of me wants desperately to see my son and watch him grow and teach him things. It was all very conflicting and my mind was scattered. That became apparent when I left my cell phone in the refrigerator after I got off a call with Sonja who couldn't make our lunch date today. So here I was, hungry and lonely and I didn't trust myself to drive... Since I was already dressed I decided I'd just take myself out for lunch.
Thankfully I had found my phone and called for a cab while I figured out which shoes to wear. Once I had what I needed, the cab wasn't far away. When it arrived I got in and the driver took me into the city..
I wanted to clear my head.. To spend some time on myself. So, I went and got myself some new perfume, some new skincare products, and some new slippers to wear around the house. As I finished my shopping, I started to get hungry, so I went to a little cafe and got a nice salad and a strawberry lemonade.
As my lunch was brought to me in the outside sitting area, A big black truck caught my eye. The man driving the truck parked in one of the parallel spaces, got out, and walked carefully over to the outside dining area.

"Well hello there, sister in-law." He said with a smirk.

"Don't be foolish Kevin, we're in public." I said as he came over and sat across from me.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on laying a hand on you. You're looking mighty fine, all plump and ready to burst." He chuckled as he leaned over and took a roll from the basket of rolls placed on the table. He pulled a piece off and leaned back in the chair. That smug smirk still on his face. I watched, trying to remain expressionless as he popped the piece of bread into his mouth and chewed.

"What do you want, Kevin." I asked, trying desperately to keep my voice from shaking. He wasn't as brutal or threatening as Andrew.... But I wasn't about to risk getting hurt this war along into my pregnancy. Kevin might have said he wouldn't lay a hand on me... but that didn't mean he wouldn't find another way to hurt me.

"Me? Oh.. I want many things. But this isn't about what I want.... Well, not entirely." He said, smiling.

"Then what is this about?" I asked, taking a sip of water as my mouth felt very dry.

"It's about that." He said with that smile still plastered on his face. His hand waved toward my stomach and my heart started to pound as anxiety and fear started to mix. My anger swelled inside of me and I did all I could to try and remain calm.

"And what about my baby?" I asked, biting back all the things I wanted to say.

"It's quite simple Ellie, you need to leave your little boy toy. You had your fun. Andrew's going to get released... you're going to drop the charges against him. You're going to apologize to both sets of parents, and then you're going to be the good little wife you were supposed to be. You will never turn your back on him again, you won't cheat on him again because I can almost guarantee he wouldn't let you. You'll quit that little job of yours too. A wife should be at home, tending to the house and the family, in your case you will be tending to your in laws." He smirked. And I looked at him slightly confused.
"Yeah.." He laughed a little as he sat forward again. He took a big bite of the roll he had, no longer just picking it apart. Once he chewed and swallowed He grinned.
"Mom and dad don't really trust you, you understand. You stabbed their precious boy in the back. So.. for one solid year you'll be living with the family. My mother will teach you how to be a good wife. If you manage to pass.. After a year, you can leave or move back in with Andrew. If you choose to leave though.. You'll be leaving the kid with my parents and Andrew." He explained, then sat back in the chair again as finished off the roll. I was no longer hungry.
