Five Months Later
It's been five months, and let me just say one thing... being pregnant sucks! It's like being on a constent period, feeling and being bloated, cramps, mood swings, getting the most ridiculous cravings ever, like pizza with peanut butter, pickels and hot sauce together, etc., etc.
Anyway... since it's been five months I've gained some new friends thanks to Courtney, I still keep in touch with some friends in Wisconsin. I finally have my own place 20 minutes away from where Courtney lives, it's a nice quiet neighborhood with a little park down the street and very nice people. Perfect for little Scarlett, my baby girl! Courtney and me got our wish! Before I moved I filmed a video of our new house on my phone to show little Scarlett when she's older.
2 Months Ago: 'The New Home' Video
"Hey there Scarlett! This is our new, technically old home when you see this video home!" I show the camera the whole little house starting with the simple patio with three stairs that lead to the house, then I open the door to the house that shows a little area that has the front wall with windows that overlooks the street, when I walk into the house I show the camera the nice little dining room area by the stairs, the simple living room, the kitchen, then I leave the kitchen door to go outside to the backyard. I go back inside and show the upstairs area, it has three bedrooms and I upstairs bathroom. "Well I can't wait for you to be in my life and to have so many memories with you Scarlett. I love you."
Present Day
I film the house again but now it's finished. I love the way Scarlett's bedroom was painted and designed, the two walls parallel of each other are painted light red and white wavy lines, the other two walls are painted the same shade of red but with one wall I have Scarlett's first and last name painted up-and-down in black and white in the middle of the wall. Her crib is underneath her painted name and she has a T.V on her wall. "Well I hope you liked seeing your home baby. I'm sure gonna miss you in your 'baby crib days' but at the same time I'm not. Either way I'll always love you."
While I'm sitting on my couch scrolling through Facebook I get a message... from him... "What the hell does he want?" I question to myself. I read the message, "Hey Theresa, I'm so sorry about all the shit I gave you. Can we please start over???" Oh fuck no! What makes him think I'll ever come back to someone like him?! I respond, "NO! What makes you think I'll EVER come back to you?! Do you know how much shit you've given me? I'll never come back to you, you son of a bitch! I'm not going to visit you and I'm sure as hell Scarlett, MY daughter is NEVER going to meet you! Don't EVER talk/message me again!" *send*
Why would he think I'd come back to someone as shitty as him? Does he think I'm fucking stupid?! I slam my laptop shut and I get teary eyed. "No... no, no, no! I don't need this! I can't deal with him anymore, and I won't deal with him anymore. I'll make sure of it, for the sake of my daughter. Scarlett.
