Finding Love Series: When Love Gets Hard (Book 3) #TheWattys2017

Confusion ( Chapter. 23)

I got Leo to get Lance so I could go meet Scott.

The whole drive to the park my heart pounded. I was so nervous.

The last time I saw Scott he abused my son and I kicked him out of my house while threatening him with a knife. Now we are supposed to be civil. I chose to meet in the park because people will be there. Just in case something happens we will be surrounded by people. I just want to get this talk over with. I really don't want to do it at all but it is for my baby.

I arrived and went and sat on the bench next to the pond and waited.

I waited probably twenty minutes which is ridiculous but I'm trying to be civil.

"April I'm here now so what do you want to talk about?" Scott asked.

"Let's walk.Scott be honest with me. Do you want to be a part of this babies life? Do you want to step up and be the best father you can be honestly?" I asked.

"No I do not. I do not want kids at all."

"Then I am going to give you what you want. We have already had a horrible history now. I am only four months pregnant. I don't even know the gender yet. So you aren't really invested yet. If you want out I'm willing to give you an out now. But once you say you want out you can never come back in. We will be done forever. We will never speak again after today. The decision is yours what do you want to do?" I asked with all seriousness.

"I want out. If you are going to let me then I want nothing to do with this baby. I want to go out and party and not have to worry about a kid at home."

"Well alright. That's all I wanted to talk about. Goodbye Scott enjoy your life." I said.

"You as well." Scott said then he shook my hand.

I said nothing else I just left. I feel nothing but relief that Scott doesn't want anything to do with the baby. I feel he would have done more harm then good anyway. Now I can focus on Lance and getting things ready for the baby.

*All Together*

" Alright I have called all three of you here because I have news I want to share with you." I said.

"What is it?" Leo asked.

"Is it bad?" Beth asked.

"Well what is it Sis?" Wes asked.

"As you all know I went to talk to Scott today. Well we talked about the baby. I asked him if he wanted to be a part of the babies life and he said no. Therefor today is last day I will ever speak to Scott. I was hoping he wouldn't want to have anything to do with the baby. I think he would have done more harm than good. Now I can focus on Lance and getting things ready for the baby. I could not be happier. So to answer the question each of you has asked me. No Scott will not be a part nor involved in the babies life. As far as this baby is concerned it only has a mother. I wanted to share that with all of you because I didn't want to repeat it three different times." I said.

" I couldn't agree more. You made the right decision Sis." Wes stated.

"It's better this way now you can enjoy your pregnancy and your child with no stress." Beth said.

"You can actually be happy now." Leo said.

"Well thank you for agreeing with my decision. Now I'm feel exhausted so I think I will nap." I said and then I did.

I woke up to my phone ringing.  I rolled over and picked it up off of my nightstand and answered.

"Hello?"
