Jasmine POV
By the time Cody showed up for dinner, I had sunk in that she was officially deaf. The doctors said at five years old, she'll get hearing aids. So until then, I'm doing sign language. They said if I do it now, she'll understand more when she's older.
I haven't spoken to Paul for days. I was still hurt how he lied and hid something that big from me.
"Hey, bro." Paul and Cody gave a small hug.
Cody gave me a kiss on the cheek and hugged me. "You look good Jasmine. How are you."
I put on the masquerade of happiness and nodded. "I'm fine."
Meadow Rain came running in and Paul caught her. Cody gasped.
"I don't believe how much she grown. I've seen pictures on instagram of her but wow. Little Walker." Cody held her.
I found myself staring at her ears. She didn't hear a word Cody said. It made me want to cry but we have company and we need to be the perfect couple.
During dinner Paul and Cody caught up on their lives while I sat quietly and fed Meadow Rain. I wasn't in the mood to talk.
"So, Cody, we have some bad news." I interrupted Paul.
"What's that?" Cody looked at me.
"Meadow Rain is deaf. Both ears." I said.
Cody looked at both me and Paul then Meadow Rain.
"I'm so sorry, guys. I can't imagine what you're going through."
I nodded, holding back tears. Cody touched my knee and gave a small smile.
"She's just like every other kid. No that a lie. She's different and that's good." Cody said.
I smiled back at him and kissed Meadow Rain cheek. Paul kept trying to catch my eyes but I dodged his looks. I am not ready to speak to him. For once, I did nothing to start the argument. I'm proud of myself.
After dinner and Cody left, I put Meadow Rain to sleep. I was so exhausted.
"Ready to talk?" Paul asked.
I ignored him and ate a banana.
"Listen, I'm sorry. I just didn't wanna ruin a special moment for you. Please." Paul said.
I threw the peel away and what was left of my banana was sticking to the top of my mouth.
"I don't know how I can trust you. I need time. Just leave me alone." I said with a small nod and went upstairs.
That night I slept in the guest room.
